When you think about
it, life can be pretty boring. You work, you sleep, you eat pizza in your
pyjamas during Netflix marathons, and you occasionally mix things up with
dinner, birthday parties, a day out or an away day with work.
But, what if you could
experience something out of the ordinary, something…unique? Not so boring
anymore, right?
Luckily for you, we’ve
got loads of unique and unusual venues to help bring a little pizzaz to your lives.
Unique venues and locations are an easy way to spice up a corporate event or
private party, so if you’re busy event planning, look no further!
Event ideas for
unique venues in London:
The possibilities
really are endless when it comes to what you can do with an unusual venue. Plus,
there are so many types of event space too, it just depends what you’re looking
for - from unique conference venues for hire in London and unique meeting rooms,
to the perfect venues for parties, wakes, weddings and a whole lot more!
Unique wedding reception venues
We all love a wedding,
especially when it’s our own. The thing about weddings is that they can be a
perfect snapshot into the personality of the happy couple, and more and more
people are opting for something a little…quirkier these days. Alternative
wedding venues are a wonderful way to showcase who you are and what you love,
while keeping your guests engaged and giving them a little something different
from the standard tradition.
Unique conference venues
Who said conferences
have to be dull, drab, boring events that everyone dreads? We certainly didn’t,
which is why we’ve got an amazing collection of unique conference venues to
give your company conference a dull-ectomy. Engaging, fun twists on the
standard soul-sucking of corporate jargon can give you an engaging edge. The
perfect option for companies who have their own little personalities, the
unique venues of London are yours for the taking.
Special Engagement party venues
So, you’re getting
married then, eh? Congratulations! Well, now it’s time to let people know about
it with a party, because nothing’s official until there’s been a party – that’s
what we say, anyway. Engagement parties can be a traditional affair, but
sometimes tradition can be tedious, even when we don’t want to admit it. Inject
your own style and flair with quirky venues and a theme that screams “this is
me”. From the fancy to the kitsch, we’ve got you covered.
Unforgettable Corporate party venues
Whether it’s
Christmas, the end of a conference, or just to say “thanks”, hosting a dinner
or party for your staff can make all the difference to morale. Not all
companies adopt the standard corporate image, with many agencies and creative
companies looking to keep their employees immersed in the reward of tastiness
and fun. So, no matter if you’re a small or big company, our funky venues for
hire are here to help.
Need help planning your
unique event?
Step 1: Set a date
The first step to any
event is to decide when it should be. Whether it’s a winter wonderland wedding
reception, a spring conference or a Christmas office party - the date is
important. Try to set it when your guests would be most likely to be able to
attend and remember that peak times such as summer can be more expensive and
book up fast.
Step 2: Find out
your budget
This one is pretty
simple, if you’re not the one setting a budget then you need to find out how
much you can spend. Once you have your overall budget allowance, estimate how
much things like food and drink will cost so you’re left with your venue
budget.
Step 3: Find and
book a venue
Now this is where it
starts getting fun, and when we can help the most! It’s time to find the
perfect venue for your event. You should have some basic parameters in mind for
the venue based on what your event is for. So, think about if you need a larger
space, somewhere that offers catering, somewhere with a bar, somewhere
pet-friendly, etc. Once you’ve found the venue, take a look around if you can
and then put down your deposit.
Step 4: The guest
list
Okay, so your venue is
sorted, now let’s fill that venue with bodies, preferably ones having copious
amounts of fun while in awe at your venue choice, but we digress. Let your
guests, employees, delegates or whoever you’re inviting know when and where the
event is and what will happen during it. Oh, and don’t forget to make sure you
get those RSVPs back, you’ll need them to sort out catering numbers.
Step 5: Dinner,
drinks and entertainment
So far you just have a
bunch of people in a venue gawking at the walls and we don’t want that, so it’s
time to decide what you’re going to offer at your event. If you’ll be serving
food or offering wine or an open bar then you’ll need to get those things
arranged. For parties and wedding receptions, and other events too really
(we’re not judging), you’ll probably need to hire some entertainment for the
evening - a DJ always goes over great.
Step 6: Enjoy your
event!
That’s it, you’re
finished! Well done, we’re very proud of your party planning skills. All that’s
left to do now is enjoy the fruits of your labour and go have some fun!
Need help choosing the
perfect unique venue in london?
Step 1: Think about
the budget
Set your budget before
you start looking for your venue. There are quirky venues to suit every budget,
and you wouldn’t want to be disappointed if you found somewhere and then couldn’t
afford it.
Step 2: Go with
your heart
When dealing with
unique venues it’s crucial that you ‘go with your gut’, especially if it’s a
wedding or party. You can narrow the choices down by facilities and what you
need them to offer, but the final choice should give you those “this is the
one” butterflies.
Step 3: Act Fast!
Unique and unusual
venues can get booked up fast, so once you’ve found somewhere that ticks all
the boxes and gets your creatively-charged heart pumping, get on that gas pedal
and lock down your booking.
