10 Alternatives to Peerspace for Venue Marketing in the U.S.

Peerspace is one of the best-known names in the hourly space rental world, especially for shoots, productions, and short-format bookings. But it’s not the right fit for every venue business model.

Here’s why:

• Fees: Peerspace charges a 20% service fee on the booking amount (plus any additional fees such as cleaning or add-ons). Guests also pay a separate processing fee calculated as a percentage of the subtotal, which varies by booking requirements.
• Pre-booking transparency: Peerspace doesn’t share the personal host info during the booking process. The address and phone number are shared only after a booking is confirmed. This matters as it limits the visibility of venues that are not yet booked.

If you run a restaurant with private dining rooms, a hotel, a multi-space venue, or a space that relies on packages, minimum spends and operational detail, you may need platforms that are built around event planning, not just hourly rental.

Below are 10 alternatives that cover different niches, such as production, weddings, corporate events, and meetings. We’ll spend more time on Tagvenue because it operates in a different category and is often a more natural fit for traditional event venues.

1) Tagvenue

Best for: Restaurants, bars, hotels, halls, meeting and event venues, and multi-room spaces selling packages, minimum spends, or staffed events.

Tagvenue operates more as a planner-first venue marketplace than a production-led hourly rental platform. It’s built around searchable venue profiles and filters that reflect how event planners typically shop: by capacity, budget, amenities, event type, and availability.

Fee model: Pay when your venue is booked

Tagvenue lets venues list for free and monetizes through commission on confirmed bookings.

Commission varies by category and payment method. In the U.S., Tagvenue takes 15% for categories with online payments enabled (Meetings or Production and Dry Hire), and 10% for other event categories using invoice payment.

Why venue owners care: in your first weeks and months, cash gets eaten by staffing, supplies, and all the fun surprises facilities love to deliver. A commission model keeps fixed marketing costs low until enquiries actually convert. It means that you are not paying a subscription during a quiet month.

Built for multi-space venues and structured offers

If you operate multiple rooms, Tagvenue allows you to list each space under one venue account. This is particularly useful for venues selling different rooms at different capacities.
You can also create event offers and packages, which is helpful if you are offering set menus, day delegate rates, minimum spends, or tiered packages.

Free for planners + best price expectations

Tagvenue is  free for users. Planners are not charged any booking or administration fees.
That policy matters because extra renter-side fees can cause hesitation at checkout, especially for corporate admins managing fixed budgets.

Trust and speed signals

Tagvenue’s #Supervenue program highlights high-performing venues based on  user feedback. Moreover, response times and response rates are visible on venue pages, helping planners choose venues that reply quickly.

When to choose Tagvenue

If your venue thrives on weddings, corporate events, private dining, meetings and conferences, and anything involving catering/AV/seating plans, the platform’s structure, with packages, multi-space listings, and search filters, is a better match than a platform designed primarily around hourly rental.

Just remember: you’ll still need strong photos, clear pricing guidance, and fast replies for success. Tagvenue can generate visibility but your listing drives the conversion.

2) Giggster

Best for: film, TV, photo shoots, and content creation, especially in distinctive locations.

Giggster is production-focused and charges hosts a 19% commission.
This is a strong option if your primary buyers are creatives and production teams and your space photographs well.

Recommended for: Production-heavy demand similar to Peerspace, and worth testing if you want an additional pipeline of shoot enquiries.

3) EventUp (by Tripleseat)

Best for: Restaurants, hotels, and event-ready venues that want directory-style visibility.

EventUp offers tiered listing packages (Basic, Premium, Premium Plus) tied to visibility and marketing benefits.
Worth noting: This is closer to a venue directory and marketing placement model than a  transactional marketplace.

Recommended for: Venues that already sell events such as private dining, receptions, corporate functions and want more discovery. EventUp is less focused on hourly creative studio rentals.

4) Eventective

Best for: Weddings, meetings, and social events with an enquiry and quote flow.

Eventective operates on subscription plans (monthly or annual) for visibility and does not charge commission on events booked through the platform.

Recommended for: The key difference from Peerspace is the focus on lead generation and enquiries whereas Peerspace tends to focus on hourly rentals. This approach can benefit venues seeking structured event sales and direct client handling.

5) Splacer

Best for: Design-forward spaces, pop-ups, exhibitions, and creative events, including  some productions.

Splacer is often grouped with creative marketplaces. It charges a 15% host commission and typically includes a renter-side processing fee  (terms vary by market).

Recommended for: Venues with strong aesthetics and flexible setups, especially if you want pop-ups/brand activations alongside events.

6) PartySlate

Best for: Weddings and celebration-focused marketing where visuals do the heavy lifting.

PartySlate positions itself as a platform for event professionals, and includes venues to showcase work and generate leads.
It’s less about hourly slots and more about building a brand presence that attracts higher-intent planners.

Recommended for: If you have strong photography and a busy wedding or corporate calendar,  this platform can work brilliantly.

7) Here Comes The Guide

Best for: Wedding venues targeting couples actively searching for ceremony and reception locations.

Here Comes The Guide is very explicitly wedding-first and focuses on lead quality and transparency.

If weddings are your main revenue driver, this is one of the more direct alternatives to general marketplaces.

Recommended for: Dedicated wedding venues, scenic properties, and venues with wedding packages.

8) Cvent Supplier Network

Best for: hotels, conference venues, and corporate event spaces that sell through RFPs.

Cvent’s Supplier Network supports enterprise sourcing rather than consumer browsing.. Planners search and filter venues, then send one RFP (Request for Proposal) to multiple venues and manage responses.

In practice: If you live in the world of room blocks, meeting space specs, and procurement workflows, this aligns better with your needs than an hourly rental marketplace.

9) The Vendry

Best for: To source venues, vendors, and inspiration for events.

The Vendry functions  as a place for companies to source venues, vendors, and inspiration. It does not focus solely on venue marketing or sourcing but serves as  a discovery portal for event teams.

Recommended for: It is suitable for venues that want more corporate exposure and can support pro-level enquiries.

10) LiquidSpace

Best for: Meeting rooms, offices, and workspace-style inventory available by the hour, day, or month).

LiquidSpace focuses on desks, offices, and meeting rooms and allows hosts to offer flexible terms and pricing.

Recommended for: It’s workspace-led rather than event-led, so it won’t replace wedding/corporate party demand but it can fill quiet daytime gaps.

Conclusion

If you’re looking beyond Peerspace, the best alternative depends on what you actually sell:

• Small venues such as bars, private gardens, and studios:  Keeping marketing overhead low matters is a priority. Commission-based models can feel safer than fixed subscriptions.
• Mid-size venues such as restaurants, bars, and meeting rooms: Platforms that support multi-room listings and packages can reduce back-and-forth and improve lead quality.
• Large venues focused on corporate events or weddings: Strong corporate sourcing channels (RFP workflows or planner networks) can deliver larger, more structured bookings.

Tagvenue is particularly suitable for U.S. venues that operate as event businesses offering rooms, packages, minimum spends, staffed service, while still keeping listing barriers low and the planner experience fee-free.
