By its very definition, a pop-up business is one that can appear almost anywhere for a limited period of time, in order to achieve a particular goal.

‘Pop-ups’ have been gaining increasing popularity of late and generally they operate in a short-term, uninhabited retail space location.

The duration of their existence can last anywhere from several hours or days, to even weeks before shutting down.

As for the range of types of ‘Pop-up’ businesses on offer, they can be virtually anything from food to fashion and everything in between.

Richmond entrepreneur and talent manager, Alexandria Dhillon is taking that concept to another level altogether.

She’s offering a ‘Pop-up’ Nightclub.

But unlike other such ventures that require an existing space to occupy, her physical nightclub is inflatable, portable and available for rent to the general public, anywhere and anytime.

Called Social House Rentals, it’s the area’s first inflatable party nightclub on the scene.

Outfitted with custom add-on options, it can easily fit inside any residential backyard space and serves as an ideal party setting for virtually any occasion.

Social Party House can also be custom configured to suit virtually any club-style requirement.

These custom add-on options include Bluetooth speaker sound system, club-style lighting, mirrored ‘Disco Ball’, smoke machines, red carpet entranceway, and even the DJ for the evening.

In fact, for the summer months, you can even include the added comfort of air-conditioning.

Given the Lower Mainland’s penchant for an often-unpredictable climate, weather-proof is the way to go.

“I love entertaining at my family farm here in Richmond and the inflatable Social House Nightclub has allowed me to do so in not only the summer months but the winter months too,” says Dhillon.

“It’s easy to set up and inflates in a matter of just minutes. In essence, we have brought the complete party to our own yard in a true nightclub environment, without having to leave.

“Whether it's a children's birthday, a teen celebration or graduation or just an adult gathering, this unique concept provides a fun and innovative space that can adapt to any occasion,” she says.

“Its flexible design ensures a memorable experience for everyone, making it the perfect choice for creating unforgettable moments. As for the specific dimensions of Social House Rentals, it’s a sizable structure.

“The dimensions of the inflatable Social House Nightclub are 23 x 23 x 14 feet (7 x 7 x 4.3 m) and it can host a maximum capacity of between 70 and 80 people standing.

“During colder months, the natural body heat generated inside creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it an ideal venue for year-round celebrations. It’s literally plug and play.

“We can set this up anywhere with enough space. All we need is access to an everyday A/C outlet for power and can certainly take care of any additional extension cords if need be.

"For me, the joy of entertaining lies in the smiles, laughter, and connections that form when people come together to celebrate and creating a unique space like an inflatable nightclub makes it so much fun.

“I thrive on bringing people together and creating memorable experiences through my passion for entertaining and throwing parties.”
