Top Features to Look for in a Home Event Space
No two home event venues are alike. They vary in size, location, ambiance, and style. Ensure your home event rental has everything you need for your family reunion or corporate event.
-
Ensure there is easy access. Maybe a remote winery is your dream wedding destination. Ensure the location is easily accessible, easy to find on a map, and near public transport.
-
Consider entertainment options. There are countless ways to entertain guests at your house party. Hire a surprise comedy stand-up act for a corporate event or a live music wedding band for dancing under the stars. Just make sure the venue has the space and the essential equipment for seamless entertainment.
-
Book enough space. The biggest challenge with house parties is space. Unless you are hosting in a spacious outdoor area, the house layout may not be suitable for large groups. Utilize the outdoor area for more comfort.
Advantages of Renting a Home Event Space
Like most event venues, home spaces, too, can have pros and cons that can take away from the experience. Find out what to love and what to prepare for.
Advantages
-
Private homes are ideal for uninterrupted gatherings. Having the entire building or house to yourselves means fewer distractions when toasting the guest of honor.
-
Hosting a party at a private home rental is almost like partying at home. There are fewer rules and regulations than a restaurant, and you get to set the opening and closing times.
-
One of the best aspects of home rentals is the possibility of adapting the ambiance to match any event and theme. Most home event venues allow you to decorate the space to your heart's content.
Disadvantages
-
Unlike hosting a party in a restaurant or a ballroom where you don't have to lift a finger, you are stuck with the cleaning chores after a house party. If budget allows, hire cleaning staff or ask close friends and family to help.
-
Parking space is a challenge when hosting large-scale house parties. Notify your guests about the parking possibilities. They may decide to travel by bus or taxi.
-
When partying in a private home, you are likely to have neighbors who won't appreciate loud noise all night long. Notify nearby houses of the event, and try to keep noise to a minimum after a certain time. Finish the party at a reasonable time.
Planning Your Home Event
Whether you're hiring experienced event planners or preparing your party solo, check out these useful tips for a successful jump-start.
-
Determine a Budget – It goes without saying that in order to have a successful party, you need to know how much of it you can afford. Don't have a large budget for food? Host a potluck. Can't decide on that live music band? Play your own playlist. With careful planning, you will know exactly where to cut corners.
-
Coordinate Parking – Private homes lack parking spaces, especially if you are hosting a large-scale event. Don't let the parking hassle take away from the experience. Up the vibes with valet parking or ask neighboring houses for permission to use their driveways.
-
Plan the Menu – Want to create a memorable menu? Get familiar with guests' preferences and dietary needs first. Hire a private chef or catering services for large feasts. If hosting a small family dinner party, why not cook their favorite homemade meals?
How to Save Money on a Home Rental
Whether you are organizing a gala dinner or a birthday bash, house parties can be as cheap or as expensive as you want them to be. Home venues on Giggster start at just $20 USD/hour, helping you save from the get-go.
Work on DIY decor.
There is no need to spend a ton of money on disposable decorations like banners or lavish centerpieces. Many budget-friendly options will help turn any space from drab to fab. Start with flowers from the garden, upcycled jars and vases, candles, balloon garlands, and more!
Express yourself and play your own music.
A birthday, a charity event, or a business meeting can certainly go without a band or a DJ. Don't worry; many hosts swap the band for a playlist or karaoke and still manage to pull off a great event.
Get creative and host a potluck.
Food expenses will be much higher for a large group of people. If the budget is tight, don't be embarrassed to ask people to bring a meal to the event. It can be anything from bread, desserts, pastries, cheese, fruit, or side dishes. Whoever came up with the potluck idea, we thank you!
