What’s Like an Airbnb for Weddings?

Planning a wedding can be a stressful and overwhelming process, and one of the most challenging aspects of doing so is finding a venue for it. Your space of choice—whether it’s like an Airbnb for weddings or another option—needs to be romantic, charming, the right size for all your guests, and probably lots more—everyone has specific dreams for their wedding and the location where it will take place. And that’s not to mention this all has to be within your budget, to boot!

We truly sympathize with the considerable challenge of choosing the perfect space for your dream wedding. Don’t despair, though: It’s not an impossibility, and we’ve got the advice you need to make it a reality. 

Can I find an Airbnb for weddings?

You might think that Airbnb would be the right place to look for your ideal wedding venue, especially if you’ve stayed at lovely Airbnb rentals in the past (and there are some truly lovely ones out there!). But we’ll be honest: as much as Airbnb has to offer in terms of overnight and hotel-type rentals, finding an Airbnb listing that’s suitable to serve as a wedding venue can be pretty difficult. 

Most Airbnb rentals aren’t necessarily set up to host large numbers of guests, as your average wedding necessitates. Frankly, Airbnb hosts may not even want you to host your wedding in their space, as Airbnbs are most often designed and furnished as places for rest, relaxation, and overnight vacation stays, rather than for hosting parties and events. But if you’re determined to find an Airbnb for weddings, just keep reading and we’ll explain what your best course of action is.

Consider Peerspace instead

So, it’s clear that Airbnb isn’t the ideal place to look for wedding venues. That’s why we’re recommending that rather than trying to find an Airbnb for weddings, and likely ending up disappointed by the relative lack of options available to you, try looking for a wedding venue on Peerspace instead.

In contrast to Airbnb, which focuses on lodging, Peerspace is the internet’s most extensive marketplace for event and meeting spaces, and employs an hourly rentals model that’s ideally suited to event space rentals. Wherever you’re looking, you’re likely to find a Peerspace that’s suited to your needs, budget, and aesthetic preferences.

The marketplace spans hundreds of cities throughout North America, with many thousands of distinctive spaces each with their own cool features and amenities. 

What are the benefits of using Peerspace to find an alternative to an Airbnb for weddings?

There are a number of reasons to use Peerspace as your marketplace of choice. First of all, its search tool is incredibly simple and straightforward to use. Just input your city, specify that you’re planning a wedding, and optionally, include a date if you have any sense of when your wedding will take place (to narrow down your search to what’s available then).

For instance, let’s say you’re looking for wedding spaces in New York City. As of November 2021, there are almost 1,300 wedding spaces in the NYC area! That’s a lot of options, too many to sort through. Luckily, Peerspace offers tons of filters to let you narrow the search down further and make your process of finding an alternative to an Airbnb for weddings ultra-streamlined. 

Further filters/search parameters include whether or not the venue includes various kinds of outdoor spaces, indoor spaces, and space type. You can even filter your search by style, if you’re looking for a particular aesthetic: bohemian, beachy, farmhouse, industrial, mid-century, rustic, modern, luxury… the list goes on! 

Once you’ve found a few listings that interest you, take a look and you’ll see that each one includes detailed descriptions of the space and high-resolution photos to ensure that you know exactly what the venue is like before you even visit it in person. Reviews from past renters will give you a sense of what it’s like to use the venue for your wedding or other event. Plus, it’s really easy to reach out to the host of the space if you have any questions or need to plan anything specific with them.
