So, how do you use Peerspace to book a sensational rental space for your next event?
First, visit the site’s homepage, or download the app, and enter your location and event type. Then, narrow down the results using keywords or filters that better suit your preferences. You can filter results that only show rentable venues in your chosen location that have pools you and your guests can enjoy, rooftops to take your gathering to new heights, ballrooms if you want plenty of space for dancing, and so much more.
As you’ll soon see, each property on Peerspace has its own unique listing, on which you’ll view photos, a detailed description of the space, upfront pricing, and reviewers from past renters. That way, you know exactly what you’re getting before you decide to book a Peerspace.
Have any questions about a prospective venue? No problem, you can also reach out to the venue’s local host through the listing page. These helpful folks can also help with more difficult aspects of event planning, such as sourcing catering, entertainment, and equipment. Just reach out and ask!

Easy booking

Peerspace offers a simple booking procedure using either the app or the website. In doing so, you book your event directly with the owner or ambassador of the space. And as we mentioned, communication is ultra-easy, too, with the rental platform serving as a liaison between the peer-to-peer parties.
Another bonus of using Peerspace for events is that the site shows high-quality pictures of what you’re renting. Photographs highlight the shared spaces where your hourly event will take place, and there is no question regarding what you’re walking into.
You can also read genuine reviews from past renters, allowing you to picture yourself in the space when holding your event. Plus, the pricing is clearly stated on the listing page without the risk of hidden fees. By the time you book, you’ll have the peace of mind that your event venue will meet if not exceed your expectations!

As we mentioned, Peerspace is the Airbnb for event spaces thanks to its ease of use. Another way that it makes it easy for you to find the precise venue for your needs is to filter venues by the number of people who will be in attendance at the event.
Are you going to need a property that can accommodate eight teammates for a brainstorming session? Or are you hosting a large wedding with hundreds of friends and family in attendance?
Easily eliminate spaces that are too large or small right off the bat by setting your preferences using Peerspace’s simple search engine. It’s a real time saver that will match you with your dream event space quicker.

Fine-tuning specific amenities
![Airbnb For Events](https://www.peerspace.com/resources/wp-content/uploads/baltimore-converted-bank-cafe-1-1024x684.jpg)
After you winnow down that list to only local properties that are available on the date or dates of your event and how many people have RSVPed to attend, select or deselect amenities that the rental offers.
Some amenities offer chairs and tables, audio-visual equipment, and even coffee for your event. Others are more specific, like photography studios and restaurants that provide lighting and backdrops, industrial kitchens, and so forth.
All of these amenities are visible on the property’s detailed Peerspace listing. If you need anything extra that the venue does not offer, check with your venue’s host. They are often too happy to help you plan your event and can often recommend caterers, entertainers, and other local services.
You don’t need to source or negotiate with vendors because Peerspace does all that footwork for you. Relying on the assistance of your venue’s dedicated host sets Peerspace apart from Airbnb and a heck of a lot of other venue rental platforms!
The hosts

Similarly to Airbnb, local people own the Peerspace venues you rent. But again, Peerspace is like the Airbnb for events since Peerspace hosts list their venues as an event space.
In Peerspace’s case, a photographer may rent out their fully-equipped studio complete with a cyclorama at night when they’re not using it. Or chic cafes and bars may rent out their spaces when they’re closed. Homeowners who have homes with unique features, like a huge backyard or exciting architecture, are also popular on Peerspace. These types of spaces, and more, are available for you to rent for your event venue.
Renting from a real person in your community or destination city is a Peerspace perk.
Many of our hosts are creatives who deck out their unique spaces to offer their fellow creatives a distinct space to work. Some of our event venues are even operated by event planners who are happy to help you plan and execute your event as much as you like. Peerspace hosts can be as hands-on as you need.

Unique settings

When you rent a Peerspace venue for your event instead of a run-of-the-mill conference room or restaurant, you enjoy the novelty of hosting your shindig somewhere truly special.
You can choose a space that is 100% outdoors, like a stylish rooftop, open-sided barn, pool, or gazebo, for example. Some spaces are hybrid, offering you both indoor and outdoor space. Depending on your event, location, and time of the year, that may be exactly what you’re looking for!
Overall, Peerspace has the largest selection of professional photo and video studios, sky-high penthouses, artistic lofts, renovated warehouses, and homes anywhere and everywhere.
You can also rent unexpected spaces, like classrooms, sound stages, theaters, museums, galleries, churches, and other unique and attractive venues to hold your next event.
With Peerspace as your Airbnb for events, you never have to limit your options. While you can see how some of these features are similar to Airbnb, what makes Peerspace the Airbnb for events is the vast array of space types at your fingertips! We delve more into that ahead.
