What Kind of Venue Can I Rent for a Corporate Event?
Corporate meeting venues don't always have to be in an office space. In fact, you can have a productive meeting in any of our 10000 unique venues that promote creativity and discussion, like the options below.
Garages and Studios – Decorate How You Want. If you're hosting seminars with a specific theme, consider booking a versatile space that can be completely customized to your style, like a large empty warehouse or a studio with hardwood floors and floor-to-ceiling windows. Set up displays, decorations, and booths to keep your invitees engaged and interested.
Restaurants and Bars – For Meetings Over Meals. If you're planning a lunch meeting or formal dinner, consider renting our classy bars or private dining rooms. With the whole space to yourself, you can have private conversations with your guests while enjoying great food.
Theatres and Meeting Rooms – Present Your Ideas in Style. The theatres and meeting spaces on the Giggster app are perfect for conferences and presentations, and most come fully equipped with audio-visual equipment. Set up your slideshow on the big screen and get up on stage to present your ideas to the team.
Large Manors – Comfortable Spaces. Booking a large manor or mansion estate could be perfect for corporate events. There are comfortable seating spaces to chat and mingle, and several floors to create breakout rooms for brainstorming.
Banquet Halls and Social Clubs – Elegant Nights. If your next corporate event is purely for social reasons, treat your team to a night of luxury in a banquet hall or social club. Dress to impress, include catering and entertainment, and enjoy a night of fancy fun.
Top Features to Look for in a Corporate Event Venue
Even if you think you've found the right event space, double check to make sure it ticks all your boxes. Here are a few things you absolutely need in your corporate event venue.
Is it easily accessible? If you're inviting your team from work, it's a good idea to keep the venue close to your workspace or make sure that there are public transit options and parking available on site. If the venue is hard to get to, not as many people will show up.
Make sure it can accommodate your group. This means checking that there are enough seats and that everyone can stand without feeling cramped. You should also confirm there are enough bathrooms, adequate air conditioning or heating for the season, and so on.
Can you bring decor and food? If you're planning on rearranging or doing heavy decorating, check in with the host first. It's also nice to let them know if you'll be serving food.
Organizing a Corporate Event
Organizing a gathering outside the workspace is harder than you'd think. There are lots of steps to get through, but if you do it right, you can create a wonderful event that everyone will enjoy.
Find the Ideal Venue and Date – Whether you need a small area with a minimalistic design or a large space ready to greet a huge group, use Giggster to find the right venue for your corporate event. Then, finalize the date so you can start planning your timeline.
Send Out Invites – Either by email, a simple memo, or personal text, check that everyone on your list gets an invite. If you've chosen a theme for your event, let them know so they can plan accordingly.
Plan for Refreshments – You might need a caterer for a lunch or dinner event, but other types of gatherings could just need snacks and refreshments. Hire or prepare your own food so you can offer something for your team to snack on.
Prepare the Space – Do you need to decorate your venue to suit a theme, set up equipment for a presentation, or set the ambiance for a productive brainstorming session? Give yourself enough time to prepare your venue before guests arrive.
Corporate Event Expenses to Plan For
Although they're not usually as expensive as a party or wedding, planning corporate events can come with a decent price tag. When you're planning a budget for your next conference, networking event, or team-building getaway, keep these expenses in mind.
Does your venue have the right equipment?
Unique venues that aren't typically used for meetings, like a bar or modern house, can still be great locations for corporate events. But if they don't have the equipment you need, like speakers, screens, or a chalkboard for jotting down ideas, you'll have to provide them yourself at an added expense.
Are you hiring catering?
If you're providing food for your invitees, it's going to cost extra. Of course, how many people are attending, what you're serving, and if you're doing catering or a buffet will affect the cost.
Is your venue booked?
Booking the venue can be the most expensive part of your event, but with our prices starting at $20 USD/hour, you'll be able to find one in your price range. Sort through our unique blend of venues to find one perfect for your corporate function.
