An unconventional venue might include a historic landmark, a distinctive restaurant setting, or even an industrial warehouse, providing a remarkable and unforgettable backdrop for your event. They include:
- Historical Landmarks: Unique settings like castles, museums, or historical buildings that offer a distinctive atmosphere. These venues may have more restrictive policies when it comes to event planning.
- Industrial Spaces: Converted warehouses, factories, or breweries that provide a raw, urban aesthetic. These are a great option if you are looking for a blank canvas venue with lots of character.
- Outdoor Locations: Gardens, rooftops, or parks offering scenic views and open-air ambiance. Their open-air vibe, and great views, make these a popular choice for hire.
- Themed Venues: Quirky settings such as themed restaurants, art galleries, or vintage buses converted into dining spaces. These appeal to a certain demographic, and are very popular for a crowd looking to have fun.
When booking a unique event space, you may find a few differences from your usual type of venue hire.
- Logistics: Unlike traditional venues with established event infrastructure, unusual venues might require more planning for logistics. Consider aspects like power supply, audio/visual capabilities, restroom facilities (sometimes limited in unique spaces), parking availability (may be non-existent or limited in urban areas), and access for caterers or deliveries.
- Flexibility: Some unusual venues can offer greater flexibility in terms of layout, decoration, and customization.
- Permits and Regulations: Unusual venues often have specific restrictions or require additional permits compared to standard venues. Research any noise ordinances, health code regulations, or limitations on decorations (like hanging things from exposed brick walls) that might be relevant to the venue you choose.
