New Orleans Gallery Locations Must-Haves

Now, since we've discussed the different kinds of events you can plan at a gallery, let's look at some of the most important features!

How much floor space does it have? You've got to keep in mind not only your guest list but also the kind of furniture rentals you'll need. There must be enough space to set up tables and chairs for a party or a booth for a pop-up event.

What is the ambiance you're looking for? Do you want a space that's sleek and shiny or do you want a typical New Orleans-style mansion with lots of history? These are questions you have to ask yourself before booking!

What other features and amenities is it equipped with? This could include anything from extra toilets for the use of your guests to a sound system for lectures and presentations. Many galleries might also not have the chairs and tables that you'd need.

Things to Consider for Renting a Gallery in New Orleans

While a gallery space can serve as a unique site for any event, there are still some downsides to this type of venue. If you plan to go this route in New Orleans, keep in mind the following pros and cons:

Advantages

• A gallery cum event space is perfectly set up for hosting. Most of them have bathrooms for the guests and a kitchenette for the catering team to set up.

• A gallery is a very flexible space, unlike a restaurant or someone's home. A person wants a dance floor for their wedding or a number of round tables for a charity event and it can be set up!

• The New Orleans galleries and event spaces have plenty of character and life. No matter the specific look you're in search of, we can guarantee you'll find it.

Disadvantages

• New Orleans does have its limits and there are only so many galleries you can book. Unless you reserve them early, you might miss out on the best places!

• Galleries are, unfortunately, not cheap. If you're trying to host on a budget, you'd be better off looking at other venues.

• Gallery spaces will have rules that hosting at your home won't. There's also the fact that they might require permits to serve food.

How to Plan a Gallery Event in New Orleans

Planning an event really isn't as effortless and easy as event planners make it look. But, on the other hand, with a little bit of planning ahead, you can absolutely do it and personalize it yourself!

Decide on Your Budget – Galleries aren't the cheapest of spaces to rent out, unlike, for example, a studio. You'll also need to rent furniture, caterers, and servers. So work out a budget straight off the bat!

Choose the Venue – It must be a space that can suit your needs, like having enough floor space to fit your entire guest list or the aesthetics that are perfect for your video or event. With Giggster, you can now choose a venue from the comfort of your home itself!

Think About Food – No event is complete without food. In fact, a lot of guests come in hopes of just the meal! Whether you're serving finger food and drinks or an elaborate dinner, you've got to hire caterers and bakers for your event.

Handle the Logistics – Is there parking space close by to deliver everything you need? What are the opening and closing times of the venue like and will that work for your event? Can you serve food at the venue? Think about all this in advance.

Saving Money on a Gallery Activity

There's much more to saving money than just renting a cheap space. You can rent out the most beautiful gallery in New Orleans and still find little ways of cutting costs!

Avoid the most touristy times.

Given that this is New Orleans, there are some seasons that are definitely more crowded and thus expensive. Choose an off-season slump period to plan your party. That will not only allow you to negotiate better rates, it will also give your guests the time of their lives when there isn't much else to distract them.

Make use of social media marketing.

Even apart from marketing and promoting yourself on social media, you can design online invitations via dozens of free websites and send them out to special guests on social media too! This is the modern world—while it's nice to receive them, no one almost always expects physical invitation cards.

Skip the meals.

Rather than serving lunch or dinner, lay out appetizers and beverages for your guests to enjoy. A neat little trick? Pass around the more expensive appetizers on serving trays and place the less expensive ones on the buffet table. This adds elegance to your event while guests automatically consume less when food is passed around.

Book a Gallery with Giggster

We've got anything that you might wish for in a venue, whether it's art lining the brick and wood walls of a typical NOLA mansion or a sprawling warehouse gallery that fits your creative vision! No matter what your particular needs are, we can guarantee that Giggster has an elegant location that will leave your guests staring in wonder.
