Function Event Spaces Curated by Giggster
We don't just list event venues; we curate them, so you won't ever find yourself scrolling through mediocre options. Here are some of our favorite function spaces that tick the right boxes:
-
Go all out on your next corporate gathering or large celebration at an exclusive modern, Mediterranean-style mansion with Venetian details. Everyone will be in awe as soon as they see the imposing architecture, expansive grounds, and a big pool, offering the perfect backdrop for photo shoots, private parties, galas, and more.
-
Rent a creative loft and start planning your next meeting, workshop, or art class. You can bring your own tables and chairs, but there's also furniture, speakers, and mics you can add to your booking at check-out.
-
Maybe your preferred venue is open and bright, with plenty of natural light and breathtaking views. Some of our versatile spaces feature rooftops and terraces with skyline views and layouts that work for private functions and mixers.
-
For a relaxed event with an organic feel, a lush courtyard surrounded by greenery offers natural ambiance and fresh air. They're the ideal space for daytime receptions, outdoor networking events, micro weddings, and intimate gatherings, with easy access to an indoor area, so you can continue the celebration rain or shine.

Choosing the Right Type of Location for a Function
Function spaces come in various sizes, types, styles, and price tags. No matter the occasion, there's a great place out there that fits your vibe and meets your specific needs.
Multi-Use Event Spaces – Practical and Polished. Do you want to get the layout, capacity, and amenities right? You can't go wrong with a purpose-built event space that gives you everything you need without compromise. They've handled countless gatherings or celebrations, so they know what works. You can trust them for a wide range of events, like corporate functions, product launches, community bashes, etc.
Boutique Hotels – Comfort and Vibe. What makes boutique hotels such an amazing choice for functions is that seamless blend of style and hospitality that no cookie-cutter spaces can match. Aside from the beautiful, well-designed space for gatherings and a team that knows how to run private events, guests can stay in comfortable rooms overnight, which is a plus if you expect people from out of town.
Rooftop Spaces – Breezy and Scenic. Guests will love the fresh air, open feel, and panoramic views at a rooftop function location. You can have a sunset soirée or a cocktail hour with the twinkling city lights as your backdrop.
Art Galleries – Stylish and Arty. Ideal for intimate parties and medium-sized gatherings, art galleries add a fancy flair to your event. You'll likely have to bring your own AV gear and event setup, but you can save on decorations, as its walls and art pieces already tell a story.
Historic Estates – Grand and Timeless. A function taking place in a grand mansion with lots of greenery or a character-rich home with a sprawling garden will leave a lasting impression on everyone. You'll have the entire place for your group, so there'll be no random people at your event.
Essentials for a Function
A gorgeous venue is a plus, but it shouldn't be just about how it looks in photos, but also about how it performs on the big day. The right essentials and amenities can make all the difference, so as you scout for a location, arm yourself with the good questions to ask and important details to confirm.
Is it big enough (or a bit too large) for your group? Once you have your final guest list, match your venue to your headcount. A space that's too small feels cramped and uncomfortable, while one that's too large can make even a lively crowd feel sparse. Look for floor plans and capacity details on each listing so you can make a confident call.
Does the ambiance match your event's tone? Sure, you can decorate the place to match the theme or vibe you're going for, but if the venue already has the look and feel you want, it saves you so much time, money, and stress. You're pretty much halfway to the finish line before you've even started.
What's included in the rental? Before you commit, check what amenities come with the space. AV equipment, tables and chairs, kitchen access, and on-site parking can all affect your budget and your planning checklist. We make it easy to see exactly what each venue offers upfront, so there are no surprises.
How to Plan a Function
Finding the perfect function is just half the battle; the other half is all the planning, coordinating, double-checking, and other things that happen behind the scenes, such as the following:
Lock in Your Budget First – Have a clear budget, so you know what you're working with before you fall in love with a venue. After all, it's much easier to plan within your means than to scale back later. List everything you need to spend on, from the cost to rent a venue, catering, and décor, to any extras that add up.
Build Your Guest List Early – Figure out how many people will attend the event, as it will affect other decisions, such as the size of the venue, the amount of food and drink, and even the layout of the space. Get the numbers early to book a venue that fits your crowd.
Plan the Program and Timeline – A function without a clear run-of-show can lose momentum fast. Map out the key moments, from the arrivals to speeches to meals and activities, and share the timeline with your vendors and host so everyone stays on the same page throughout the event.
Confirm Logistics in Advance – Don't leave parking, accessibility, and vendor access to the last minute. As you look for and finalize your venue, confirm how guests will get there, where they'll park, and what time you can access the space for setup. Sorting these details early saves a lot of stress on the day.
Function Hidden Costs
Even the most carefully planned function can run over budget if you're not accounting for every potential expense. It's always smarter to build a little extra room into your budget than to get caught off guard by costs you didn't see coming.
Are there permit or licensing requirements?
It usually depends on the location (or who owns the space) and the nature of your event (or what you're doing inside of it). And if you do need certain permits or licenses, make sure you factor the fees into your budget, as the paperwork can go anywhere from $250 to $1,500.
What will décor and extras cost you?
It's easy to underestimate the little things, such as table centerpieces, signage, lighting, linens, and party favors, until you count their total cost. If you decide to bring in your own décor rather than using the venue's existing setup, build a dedicated décor line item into your budget from the start.
Does the venue have a preferred vendor list or minimum spend?
Some spaces require you to use their in-house catering or approved vendors, which can limit your options and affect your costs. Others may have a food and beverage minimum that you need to meet. Always read the fine print and ask your host directly so you can plan accordingly.
