How much does a graduation ceremony venue cost to rent?

Graduation ceremony venues average $260 per hour to rent, but it’s easy to spend less or more depending on what you’re looking for. For a space on the smaller side, expect to spend closer to $94, whereas larger venues run about $504 per hour.

How to plan a graduation ceremony

When planning a graduation ceremony, first think of the atmosphere you'd like to create. Do you want a solemn, serious affair, or something more dignified and traditional? Try to use previous graduation ceremonies to estimate how much space you'll need, and then find a unique graduation ceremony venue in your area that both fits your needs and is available on the date you need it. After this, you can line up a commencement speaker, as well as coordinate with any appropriate student speakers (like the valedictorian or class president.) Ensure that awards and diplomas are printed and ready to go. Finally, make arrangements for any equipment that needs to be rented, like sound or lighting equipment. Note that this may be included with your venue rental, too!

Where to find a graduation ceremony location

When searching for creative graduation ceremony locations, look no further than Peerspace, the largest platform for event venue rentals. Think outside of the traditional venues, and get creative with your preparations. Your students and their families will thank you for it! Stately concert halls, gorgeous outdoor spaces, hip converted warehouse spaces, and fascinating art galleries can all make memorable graduation ceremony venues that will have your graduates looking back fondly for decades to come. Furthermore, holding your graduation ceremony in a unique location displays to the community that your school is unique and thoughtful.

Where to find creative graduation ceremony ideas

If you search the web and on social media, you'll find creative graduation ceremony ideas that both students and families will love. We're partial to ideas that incorporate activities that families already do at graduations—particularly taking photos! Set up a photobooth, as well as a variety of backdrops and props for "photo stations." Encourage graduates to adopt a particular class hashtag for sharing these photos. The best way to make a splash with your guests is to hold the graduation ceremony in a unique space, which will set the tone and build excitement from the moment families arrive.
