THE5200EVENT CENTER

Partner program

Send us an event. Get paid the day after it happens.

Funeral directors, pastors, DJs, photographers, planners, HR managers, salons, past guests: you already get asked “where should we have it?” Answer with The 5200 and we pay you for it.

$100 per event

For every event you send that takes place, plus 5% of any in-house catering they order (up to $250 per event). No limit on how many.

They save $50

Anyone who books with your code or link gets $50 off. You are not “selling” anything; you are handing a friend a discount.

Paid fast, by Zelle

The morning after the event, once the customer has paid in full. You get a text and an email at every step so you always know where your money is.

How it works

  1. Apply below (two minutes). We approve partners personally, usually the same day.
  2. You get a personal code, a link and a print-ready flyer with a QR code.
  3. Share it however you like: a text, a business card, a church bulletin, your Instagram, the flyer on your counter.
  4. They book online at the5200.com. Your code is attached automatically; they see their $50 off right away.
  5. Event happens, customer has paid in full → your payout goes out by Zelle the next morning.

5 completed referrals in a calendar year makes you a Preferred Partner: a $250 bonus and a listing on our website, and we send business your way too.

Who this is for

  • Funeral homes — families need a repast room within days. We hold space for you; the family gets $50 off or, if your policy prefers, we pass your referral fee to the family as a further discount.
  • Churches & ministries — repasts, anniversaries, banquets, youth events.
  • DJs, photographers, planners, bakers, decorators — you hear about the party before anyone else does.
  • HR & office managers — holiday parties, retirements, team events.
  • Barbers, stylists, nail techs — you talk to 30 people a day.
  • Past guests — give a friend $50 off, get $100 after their event (first booking only).

What you are referring people to

A newly renovated 6,500 sq ft event center on the east side of Columbus (5200 Riding Club Lane) with a full commercial kitchen, in-house catering packages, online booking with an instant estimate, and a team that answers the phone. Holiday parties, repasts, birthdays, reunions, showers, corporate events: up to 200 guests. See the venue.

Partner terms (plain English)
  • You earn when an event you referred is held and paid in full; cancelled, refunded or charged-back events do not pay, and a payout already sent on one is returned.
  • One referrer per booking: whoever's code or link the customer used (code typed on the form wins over a link). Discounts and referral credits do not stack with other offers.
  • No referring yourself, your own household, or a customer already in our system; no spam, no robo-texting, no buying ads on our name. If you post about us online, say you are a partner (an FTC rule).
  • Staff and event marketers are paid on a separate percentage plan. Past-customer referrals pay on the friend's first booking only.
  • Payouts are reported as required by law; we collect a W-9 before your payouts reach $2,000 in a calendar year. You are an independent referral partner, not an employee or agent, and may not make promises on our behalf.
  • We can change or end the program with notice; anything earned before that is still paid.
