Why is a venue important for an event?

Choosing the right venue for your event sets the tone for the entire experience. The venue, after all, is the first thing guests see, and a unique and creative venue choice can get guests excited about coming long before the event even begins. When the event venue delights guests, it can go a long way toward keeping up the energy and positive atmosphere of the event. What's more, short-term event venue rentals through a platform like Peerspace can have a variety of amenities—think fire pits, bars, movie screens, you name it—and you can even narrow search results by interior design style, so you can bring your exact creative vision to life.

Where to find a unique event venue

The best way to find a unique event venue is by searching right here on Peerspace. As the largest event venue rental platform, we keep an active directory of incredible event spaces in your area. These are special and distinctive spaces—venues like breathtaking rooftop hangouts, hidden neighborhood galleries, creative studio spaces, and private rooms in hip restaurants. If you want to host an event that will be the talk of the town, find a unique event venue that your guests won't be able to stop raving about.

How to plan a successful event

Planning a successful event is half inspiration, half perspiration. Brainstorm your best creative ideas, but implement them by staying organized and preparing early. Use an event planning checklist to keep you on track. The most important factor is choosing the perfect event venue. Aside from that, think about your event from the point-of-view of your guests. How will they spend their time? What activities will be available to them? Create the right atmosphere in the right place, and the event will go off without a hitch.

How to decorate for an event

Decorating for an event is a creative expression that sets the atmosphere for your guests. Have fun with it! Mentally break down your decor into segments you can tackle individually: Lighting, table settings, wall hangings, and standalone accessories (think plants, signs, etc.) If your event has a particular theme, search for specific decorating ideas around that theme, like outdoor party decoration ideas or New Year's Eve decorations. Also consider making some set pieces—scenes made up of multiple pieces of decor that make awesome spots for guests to pose for photos.

Hip open floor plan loft, 4 min walk from Moscone!
The Event space was very trendy and spacious. The only issue that we had was that you had to take off your shoes before entering the house. One of the attendees had his shoes stolen when the gate to the front door was open for the catering. It was...

our host was terrific. However, we did have a few people walking through even though there was a sign stating there was a private function going on, and we also had some air conditioning issues...

Urban Fabulous Dramatic Open Space
planning offsite for 2 days. Plenty of room and the host was very responsive and accommodating to our requests/questions. At the time of our event, they had a smaller whiteboard for us, but our request for more whiteboarding space inspired them to paint a wall with whiteboard paint. Perfect! (Please...

Beautiful Converted Warehouse
The space was beautiful and worked well for our popup dinner event. The guests liked the ambience. The house manager was present and very helpful throughout the event. We had a slight misunderstanding relating to a trapeze performance, and the owner tried to be helpful. Unfortunately, we didn't go...

Creative Design Multi Use Loft
Communication could have been a bit better as the event drew closer. Once we were in, the team on site was very helpful. Since there were others working in different areas around the loft, it got a bit noisy at times. Overall, a satisfactory experience...
