What Kind of Venue Can I Rent for a Private Event?
The type of venue that you'll want to look for will largely depend on the occasion. Are you hosting a wedding reception or an office party? Giggster has a wide selection of spaces to choose from so you can find one that works for your gathering.
Open Warehouses – Indoor Venues with Loads of Space. Warehouses, empty lofts, and even garages can be all you need for a big event. If you find good decorations and customize the room, these places can be perfect for almost any type of celebration.
Fully Furnished Homes and Villas – Comfortable for Hang Outs. There aren't many party venues as cozy as your own home, and a spacious mansion or modern house is the next best thing. These venues include couches and tables for mingling, dining, and playing games, as well as useful amenities like bathrooms and backyard spaces.
Poolside Venues – Party Under a Blue Sky. Did you know we have some great spots that include backyard pools? They're the best locations for events in the summertime, so book an outdoor venue where you can stay out all day and night.
Banquet Halls and Social Clubs – Ready to Host Big Groups. Many special events are perfectly suited to spaces like banquet halls where the ambiance, seating, and lighting are already set up. Their sophisticated ambiance and luxurious setting are also bonuses.
Bars and Clubs – Spaces Perfect For Partying. Want a night where you can go wild and let loose on the dance floor? Rent a themed bar or nightclub with speakers ready to blast your playlist, cool lighting setups, and a dance floor that can accommodate all your guests.
Top Features to Look for in a Private Event Venue
It's easy to fall in love with Giggster's unique venues. Before you make a decision and book your venue, make sure it has absolutely everything you need for your event.
Can it fit all your guests? The most important thing in choosing an event is making sure that it can fit everybody comfortably. Having more than one bathroom can be essential for huge gatherings, and checking that the layout allows enough tables and chairs is necessary, too.
Does the venue come with audio-visual capabilities? No matter if you have an important presentation to do, guests that want to give speeches, a fun night of karaoke planned, or have booked an awesome DJ, make sure that your venue has the right equipment. Some locations don't come with speakers and mics which means you'll have to rent them separately.
Are you allowed to serve food? From fully plated meals to finger sandwiches, all the best party venues have a way to serve food. Try planning out your layout before booking so you can see if your event space has room for a buffet or catering service.
Organizing a Private Event
Are you hiring a professional event planner or doing all the work on your own? Event planning takes time and effort, but with the perfect setting and a well thought-out plan you'll see that it's not as hard as it seems.
Decide on a Guest List – Different occasions call for different guests. Decide if you're planning an event with your business colleagues, old friends, extended family, or important company connections. Send out invites with the chosen date in advance to give your guests plenty of time to organize their calendars.
Find the Perfect Place to Host – Are you shopping for the ultimate party venue or just want to gather at a private restaurant? Giggster offers museums, hotels, theatres, and everything in between so you can find an event center that works for you.
Organize Food and Drinks – It's a good idea to think about what you'll be serving your guests ahead of time. Provide either in-house catering or a table stocked with candy and snacks where invitees can help themselves, just be sure that there's enough to keep everyone from going hungry.
Set Up Activities – Start thinking of ideas for party games, fun activities, or team challenges to keep the event exciting. Don't forget to prepare speakers for background music, slideshows, or a movie screen if those events are on the agenda, too.
Hidden Costs for a Private Event at a Venue
Hosting private events at a venue will always be more expensive than having a gathering at home, but booking a memorable location can make all the difference in the success of your evening. Here are some costs to keep in mind.
Do you want to hire vendors?
Photographers, security, live entertainment, and catering are just a few examples of help that you might want to include at your event. The bigger your team of vendors the more expensive it'll be, but it's much easier to pull off a big event if you have hired staff.
Don't forget to make the venue look its best.
If you have the budget for it, why not go all out and make your event space look awesome? The more you decorate the more expensive it'll be, but having a well designed venue can really be worth it.
Does the venue include furnishings?
Your venue might come equipped with tables and chairs if you book an event center, banquet hall, or restaurant, but empty spaces like warehouses or backyards might need more setting up. Make note of what your venue does and doesn't have so you can budget for what you need.
