Find event venues near me

Event venues average $209 per hour to rent, but it’s easy to spend less or more depending on what you’re looking for. For a space on the smaller side, expect to spend closer to $153, whereas larger venues run about $275 per hour.

Choosing the right venue for your event sets the tone for the entire experience. The venue, after all, is the first thing guests see, and a unique and creative venue choice can get guests excited about coming long before the event even begins. When the event venue delights guests, it can go a long way toward keeping up the energy and positive atmosphere of the event. What's more, short-term event venue rentals through a platform like Peerspace can have a variety of amenities—think fire pits, bars, movie screens, you name it—and you can even narrow search results by interior design style, so you can bring your exact creative vision to life.

Planning a successful event is half inspiration, half perspiration. Brainstorm your best creative ideas, but implement them by staying organized and preparing early. Use an event planning checklist to keep you on track. The most important factor is choosing the perfect event venue. Aside from that, think about your event from the point-of-view of your guests. How will they spend their time? What activities will be available to them? Create the right atmosphere in the right place, and the event will go off without a hitch.

Decorating for an event is a creative expression that sets the atmosphere for your guests. Have fun with it! Mentally break down your decor into segments you can tackle individually: Lighting, table settings, wall hangings, and standalone accessories (think plants, signs, etc.) If your event has a particular theme, search for specific decorating ideas around that theme, like outdoor party decoration ideas, New Year's Eve decorations, or decorations for jazzing up a Mardi Gras party. Also consider making some set pieces—scenes made up of multiple pieces of decor that make awesome spots for guests to pose for photos.
