UNUSUAL VENUES

Time to think outside the box! Although many public and private facilities were originally designed for a completely different purpose, there are plenty of sites that have the parking, the restrooms, and the space necessary to host all kinds of events.   I’ve attended events in a state park visitor center, a home theater store showroom, a riverboat, a ballpark and a tasting room in a wine bar. So look around, your perfect venue may be right under your nose!

Here are just a few other uncommon places that you might investigate for your next meeting or event:

  • Museums
  • Theaters
  • Churches
  • Wineries
  • Zoos
  • Universities
  • Career centers
  • Trade schools
  • Funeral homes (yes that’s right, funeral homes!)
  • Government facilities such as city hall or the public library may also be available for rent if it’s not during their regular hours of operation.
