Book a one-of-a-kind birthday party rental venue through Peerspace to experience world-class service, and make it even better by incorporating some of the following curated October birthday party ideas.

1. Celebrate in an exciting rental party venue that suits your style

To throw a creative party, it’s fun to mix up your typical setting and celebrate somewhere unique. To do just that, book a Peerspace!

Peerspace is the world’s largest online marketplace with listings of peer-owned venues to rent by the hour. There are thousands of Peerspaces in hundreds of cities, ranging from rooftop gardens to cozy bungalows to luxe pop-up restaurants. Celebrating in a Peerspace venue is a fantastic way to host a creative October birthday.

Peerspace is simple to use – just visit the website, enter the type of event you’re hosting and the city where you want to celebrate. Filter the results by how many people you plan to invite, what type of venue you prefer, and featured amenities. Enjoy perusing the fun photos and previous renters’ reviews! You’re free to communicate directly with the venue host if you have questions.

2. Rent a barn as the ultimate October birthday party venue

That crisp October weather goes seamlessly with a barn party. Bob for apples, rent a traveling petting farm, or host a hoedown. This luxurious, spacious event barn in Kingston, NY would be the ideal setting for an upscale – yet rustic – birthday celebration. This picturesque event venue accommodates 120 guests and overlooks the majestic Catskill Mountains.

3. Host your party at a winery and sip your favorite vintages

If you adore wine and would like to incorporate it into your birthday party, then consider booking a winery venue near you through Peerspace and hosting your gathering there. For instance, our friends in the Bay Area can book this beautiful vineyard, winery, and garden venue in Los Altos Hills and enjoy a dinner party in the vineyard with all your favorite people and all your favorite wines! The weather will be perfect in the fall, and the gold, red, and purple sunsets will match the season.

4. Relax in a New England forest and a one-of-a-kind venue

Ten wooded backyard acres meet thousands of acres of untamed forest land at this Massachusetts gathering venue in the Berkshires. Autumn leaves will put on a beautiful show that will make your October birthday party unforgettable. Play hide and seek among the tall trees and serve hot cocoa and mulled cider, as it is a perfectly brisk time of year.

5. Enjoy an urban garden for an al fresco party

Throwing an October birthday party at this Chicago-area residential garden space would be perfect for a smaller group of about 25 people. You may also rent the indoor kitchen if you don’t dine at one of many nearby Boystown eateries.

The space comes equipped with tables and chairs, but if you want amenities that the host doesn’t offer, just reach out and ask the venue’s host. Peerspace hosts are committed to your enjoyment and can connect you with local trusted vendors that will bring catering, a professional photographer, flowers, or whatever else you might need to make your party extra special.

6. Have a castle bash

October birthday parties often feature a Halloween theme. Why not spice it up by hosting in a fantastic castle? This Hollywood Hills castle is perched high above Los Angeles, directly below the famous Hollywood sign.

Hosting here would make for incredibly cool, monstrous October birthday party ideas for up to 200 people. At night, there are amazing views of twinkling city lights, and in the daytime, you can enjoy the lush gardens that surround the castle.

7. Party in a futuristic spaceship

Feeling a little out there this year? Then host your October birthday party in a super creative space – this spaceship structure in Venice, CA. The artsy venue is perfect for the zanier guest of honor and their friends. Renters can either use a small studio that can hold about 30 people or secure the entire home and grounds with a fire pit, pool, and jacuzzi. Source some fun props and have guests don space-themed costumes, and beep beep boop boop the night away in grand style.

8. Hold a séance to conjure all the birthday spirits

Conjure the spirits for your October birthday party ideas at this sultry Greenwich Village bordello-style bar. You and about 120 revelers can channel your inner psychics and reveal the upcoming year’s events. The lush venue features two floors, each with sound systems and stages, and the hosts are flexible when it comes to add-ons and amenities. It’s a personalized riff off the predictable Halloween October bday theme.

9. Enjoy life’s luxuries, even if for just one day

This swanky penthouse in Portland, OR offers outstanding views of the city and the surrounding mountains. Portland may be a little chilly in October, so you and your birthday guests will appreciate the apartment’s upscale indoor amenities like its two electric fireplaces — one indoors and one outside on the private terrace.

The host also offers an array of incredible amenities, like bartending, catering, a DJ, a crepe and mimosa bar (in case you want a brunch-themed birthday!), and so much more.

One of the best aspects of Peerspace, in addition to the thousands of unique venues, is the ability to read previous guests’ reviews of most spaces.

Reviewers have absolutely loved booking this penthouse. One had this to say: “The Penthouse was amazing and the perfect venue for my sister’s engagement party! We booked catering and private bartending through the venue, the food and signature cocktails were so good, highly recommend! Elise and Karam were kind and gracious hosts, I could not thank them enough throughout the evening 🙂 100% will be booking again!”

10. Escape the chill during a Hawaiian escape

If your cool-weather birthday has you singing the blues, treat yourself to a tropical vacay for all your October birthday party ideas. Host a destination party at this Kona, Hawaii mansion, where you can forget all about those changing leaves and impending snow shoveling chores. Situated on a lush oceanfront property with sandy beaches and nearby lava tide pools, you and your guests will want to hang ten well after your tenth-month birthday.

11. Oktoberfest yourself

Munich, Germany is home to the world’s biggest Oktoberfest, but Berlin’s might be equally fun. If your birthday is in early October, you can attend in real time! And if your special day doesn’t happen to coincide with Oktoberfest, don’t fret. You can still celebrate just the same. You’re in Berlin, after all!

As ab example, you can enjoy the beer festival and then host your own private cocktail celebration in this cozy Berlin bar where 45 of your newfound besties can join the party.

Peerspace users love the ambiance of this Berlin bar and its incredibly helpful host. As one reviewer shares: “Max was impeccably responsive in messaging prior to the appointment, very polite and answered questions quickly. He was at the bar when I arrived and was kind, helpful, not in the way but available if we needed anything…he was a super host in every way and I loved my experience at his bar! I will absolutely be back and have only positive things to say about my experience!”

12. Host a harvest party

October birthdays are awesome for hosting a fall-themed harvest party. You could host yours at this stunning farmhouse on a three-acre apple orchard in Fennville, MI. Often used for weddings and productions, this serene venue is ideal for events where you want to spread out.

Scatter some picnic blankets on the chilly October ground, set out baskets with sandwiches and apples, and enjoy your guests’ company. The Peerspace venue hosts provide chairs and some audiovisual gear so you can play music or project family photos.

13. Celebrate in Hill Country

For a small gathering with 15 people, book this spacious Hill Country home near Austin, Texas. It is an exquisite residence that’s been featured in numerous publications and websites, and it’s situated on a hill on wooded grounds. You could host a mellow dinner party, open gifts, and cut cake, and just enjoy one another’s company on your October birthday.
