When booking a gallery space, there are some things you'll need to consider to make your event an epic celebration or corporate 'do.
How many guests are you inviting to your event? Some gallery spaces only accommodate small numbers of people, so check the Seattle venue listing. You might have to shorten your guest list so that the venue isn't uncomfortable or cramped.
What style or atmosphere do you want to create? Check that the decor of the gallery space matches the style you want to create with your event so that it makes the best impression. Select a sophisticated gallery for a chic event or a historical house or studio for events oozing vintage flair.
What are the venue's rules? You should always check the venue's rules before you book a space, as some gallery spaces don't allow things like food or loud noises on the premises. Not having these could potentially cramp your style.
You might want to cultivate beautiful Seattle creativity in your party or corporate event, but there are some things to think about ahead of your occasion.
Pros
Seattle has many unique and non-traditional art gallery spaces, like venues displaying fine art collections and homes with amazing vintage artifacts.
Many galleries provide on-site amenities, like kitchens, bathrooms, and other prep areas — it makes planning your event much easier!
Gallery spaces are distinctive venues for production, whether you're filming a fashion show or doing lifestyle photography.
Cons
Seattle's gallery places can be expensive and they get booked up quickly, which means you might not always have access to the venue you want.
Gallery spaces don't always have the features or equipment present for meetings and other corporate events, such as furniture.
You might not have enough storage space in the gallery venue to accommodate your requirements, such as if you're in production. You might have to book off-site storage.
So, how do you go about planning your gallery space event in 'The Emerald City'? Here are some things to remember so you check off all your boxes.
Build Your Event Around the Art – Since gallery spaces usually display lots of artwork and sculptures, you should try to use the fine art as inspiration to create a sophisticated party. For example, set up certain activities around the artwork so that you highlight it, such as by installing "fun/interesting facts" stations about the pieces.
Think About Your Venue Layout – Your gathering will need to include multiple activities, like dining, socializing, and entertainment activities you've planned. So, set up different areas for these in the party venue to ensure that it's well organized and the layout is easy for guests to navigate.
Go Easy with Decor – If you're hosting a party in a gallery space, you won't have to do much to elevate the venue with decorations. Some gallery spaces don't allow you to remove the artwork, so that's something to bear in mind if you want to customize your event venue.
Don't Forget the Acoustics! – Some gallery spaces might lack the proper audio quality for things like speeches or music. You'll have to organize sound equipment in the venue to ensure your entertainment and MCing goes smoothly on the day of your event.
If you're wondering how to keep your budget in the green during the party-planning process, here are some tips.
Choose a no-frills venue.
Although you can find gallery spaces with many amenities and lots of space, if you're on a tight budget, you should consider booking a venue that's got the bare minimum you need to throw a party. Giggster's gallery venues in Seattle start at just $100/hour.
Book a space with an on-site restaurant.
If you want to include food in your event venue, you could have the party catered but it's better for your budget to host your party in a gallery space that has a restaurant on the same premises.
Avoid expensive seating.
If you're hosting an event with a relaxed atmosphere, bring folding chairs instead of renting luxurious (read: expensive) furniture. Better yet, host a standing reception so your guests don't need chairs.
On the Giggster app, you'll find a curated selection of memorable gallery spaces in Seattle. Rent an inspiring venue so you can throw a party that thrills your guests, get your coworkers out of the office setting for a party, or complete a successful production session. The options are endless!
