In fact, there are numerous parameters you have to consider when scouting for an Airbnb for event spaces. You have to consider the size of the venue, the level of formality, its location, if you’ll need amenities like A/V hookups, whether or not it fits into your budget, and so on.

Should I use Airbnb for event spaces?

If you have had great experiences staying at Airbnbs, you might think that using the Airbnb platform to book event spaces may be a great idea. After all, Airbnb introduces you to new and stylish spaces for your vacations, right?

Well, yes and no. Airbnb is great for overnight stays but isn’t a great fit for those who are planning events. For one thing, they’re priced by the day, meaning you’ll end up paying a lot of money for an event that lasts a few hours.

Although some Airbnb hosts market their spaces for events as well as for overnight stays, the vast majority of Airbnb listings are not ideal for events. In fact, we’d go so far as to say that most Airbnb hosts would not approve of you hosting events in their spaces. And it’s not just the hosts. Airbnb has banned parties, and if your event falls under that heading, you may be fined or worse.

So maybe Airbnb isn’t the perfect choice for finding and renting event space. If only there was a platform designed to help you book event space through a similar peer-to-peer rental model! Oh, there is — Peerspace. Peerspace is like Airbnb in its simplicity yet it is also designed to make your event-planning life a whole lot easier. Read on for the details.

So how is Peerspace a better option for hosting events than Airbnb? Well, Peerspace is specifically geared toward event and venue spaces, which you can rent by the hour rather than by the night as is typical of Airbnb listings.

Many of these spaces are truly the best that their cities have to offer, with standout features that are sure to have the guests of whatever event you’re hosting ooh-ing and aah-ing!

Besides the amazing breadth of Peerspace’s selection, there are plenty of additional benefits to using Peerspace rather than searching for an Airbnb for event spaces.

For one thing, when you book a Peerspace, you get the full support of the venue’s host. They list their unique spaces for renters to enjoy as an event space for their personal and professional gatherings. Your host is not only okay with you hosting events in their spaces, but they can also lend a hand if needed. Reach out to your host at any point leading up to or during your event if you need help selecting vendors or anything else event-related.

The Peerspace platform also makes it easy to narrow down venue results so you only uncover those that suit your needs. From style to venue type, and price to capacity, finding your perfect event space is ultra-simple with Peerspace.

Because there are so many Peerspace event venues, you might find the number of listings available in your city to be daunting. For example, if you live in Los Angeles, there are nearly 3,000 party spaces in your area listed on Peerspace, from this funky indoor/outdoor warehouse in Glendale to this luxury resort in Woodland Hills.

No need to get too overwhelmed because we’ve got you covered. In fact, Peerspace makes finding the perfect venue for your event a total breeze. We’ll explain the steps you take to find your dream venue next.

Using Peerspace to find event spaces is super easy! Rather than just searching by location, you start out narrowing things down by event type.

This way, if you’re planning to host a corporate meeting, you’ll only find spaces geared toward this type of event. You won’t have to sort through spaces that are, for instance, better suited to a casual party with friends.

Use filters

From there, it’s easy to narrow your search down even further to save your precious time and energy in this planning process. Concerned about staying within your budget? Choose an hourly price range.

Want to ensure that the space is exactly the right size for the number of guests you’re hosting? Include the number of attendees you expect to have at your event. And if you already know the date when it’s taking place, you can filter out all the spaces that aren’t available on your selected date and time. 

And if all these parameters aren’t specific enough for you, you can make your search even more specific by clicking on Peerspace’s “More filters” button. Up will pop a list of additional filters, including exact keywords (literally ANYTHING you can possibly imagine!). You can also select outdoor/indoor spaces from backyards and beaches to kitchens and bathrooms. Let’s not forget production equipment for the photographers and videographers out there.

You can also specify the type of space you’re looking for, whether it’s a conference room or a mansion. Equally useful is the checklist of additional amenities provided by the space — need a piano at your event? How about a fireplace or a library? They’ve got it all!

There are even more possible filters available, so if you can picture your dream event space in your head, you can easily describe it to Peerspace’s intuitive search engine and find the closest thing out there. 

Check out the listings

Once you’ve narrowed your search down to a few listings, Peerspace makes it easy to decide if a venue is the right fit for the event you’re envisioning. With high-quality photographs and in-depth descriptions accompanying each listing, you won’t have to visit the space IRL to figure out if it’s what you’re looking for.

Still unsure? Take a look at the reviews from those who’ve previously used the space. You can also send a message to the host to ask them any questions that the listing doesn’t already answer.

A brilliant SoMa art gallery in San Francisco

We love the idea of hosting intimate events at this chic and atmospheric San Francisco art gallery. It has space for 80 guests and includes two gallery rooms and a separate loft space above. While here, you can make use of the prep kitchen, tables, chairs, glassware, and A/V equipment.

And of course, since it’s an art gallery, there is little to no decorating needed on your part. That in itself can be a real time and money-saver!

Check out how a Peerspace user described their experience here in their review: “Tony is an exceptional host! He is so responsive and accommodating. He made sure we were well taken care of and had everything we needed in the space. The space itself is in a great location, has a beautiful flow and setup. It was absolutely perfect for our offsite of almost 50 people. I would highly recommend this space!”

A beautiful loft space in London

For larger events across the pond, we present this spacious and airy event loft in Croydon. It boasts space for 80 revelers, an open floor plan, and lots of windows. Outside catering is allowed, though the hosts are happy to provide alcohol if you like.

Thanks to the venue’s style, A/V system, kitchen, and tables and chairs, it’s ideal for everything from corporate events to weddings.

A chic and rustic event space in NYC

If you’re looking for a modern industrial event space in Manhattan with plenty of heart, then you need to see this Ukrainian Village venue (pictured above). With space for 70 guests, this venue boasts exposed brick walls, wooden floors, and minimalist decor.

Besides its charming ambiance, this venue offers you tables and chairs, a fridge, fast Wi-Fi, and a projector. You are free to BYOB and outside catering is permitted. This would be a marvelous setting for a presentation, a birthday party, a rehearsal dinner, and everything in between!

It also boasts hundreds of rave reviews from the Peerspace community. Here’s one example: “We had a book party for around 60 people – cocktails and a buffet with limited seating. The space worked great and we got lots of compliments and questions about how we found it. The space felt full but never crowded. Takashi [the host] was wonderfully responsive.”

An ornate and industrial Houston event warehouse

More exposed brick — only in Houston! We are crushing on this sweet event venue in downtown Houston that is aesthetically dazzling and amenity-packed in one. This open warehouse space lets in plenty of natural light and is the perfect blend of rustic and sophisticated.

In fact, the venue includes Chiavari chairs, tables, a covered patio, a sound system, a concrete bar, and option set-up services. Sounds pretty perfect for a wedding or a corporate mixer!

And check out what a Peerspace reviewer shared after hosting their proposal here: “This space was absolutely beautiful! I met Keagan and Tre, they were the best hosts I could’ve asked for. They kept the process very smooth and were more than willing to help out as much as possible! I asked my now Fiancé to be my wife here, and she said YES! This location had A LOT to do with it!”
