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!
Guest list
Another approach is to filter Peerspace venues by how many people 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.

Fine-tuning specific amenities
After you winnow that list down to properties in the area 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 find 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.

The hosts
Local people own the Peerspace venues you rent, another reason why it’s like Airbnb for events. In Peerspace’s case, a photographer may rent out their fully equipped studio at night when they’re not using it. Or chic restaurants 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.
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. They can be as hands-on as you need.
