Hosting an outdoor event space

[Tendai1]

We have an outdoor entertainment space we would like to rent out for private events and meetings. Has anyone ever listed such a place or thought of listing such a space. This is not the same as hosting an experience!

@Tendai1  you are right-- its not the same as hosting on ABB. And as ABB does not allow parties you could get in really hot water advertising your listing here. 

We used to do weddings (micro weddings with 20 guests or less) at our cottage. We never advertised through ABB but did locally with photographers, dress shops, bartenders, florists  and caterers. Post your space on social media. Don't do it here. Or try Thumbtack.

ABB is more focused on accommodations and connected tourist products (so called experiences), rather then "events". The platform is build around different conception.

@Tendai1 Airbnb is not the right platform for this kind of rental. Try Peerspace instead. 

[Matt4127]

Yes, Peerspace was built to allow for hosting of meetings, events, and productions. Rates are listed hourly and no overnight accommodation is permitted.

Like Airbnb, hosts must be in compliance with local laws which may have regulations depending on the activity (i.e. film permits required within TMZ of Los Angeles). Check it out.

Hi Tendai,

I recently helped a friend host a birthday party in an outdoor space, and we decided to rent some inflatable games from Outdoor Celebrations. It was such a hit! The kids had a blast, and it really added a fun element to the event. They have a great variety of options, from bounce houses to obstacle courses, which kept everyone entertained throughout the day.

If you're considering renting out your space for events, I think adding some of these inflatable games could really enhance the experience for your guests. Plus, they handle everything so smoothly, which makes it easy on the host! *

Best of luck with your outdoor space!

I believe things have changed a bit sense you last posted this question. There are so many listings on air bnb that advertise special event gatherings. They charge a bit more of course for special events.

You must list your specific time requirements, etc --in your listing as this platform was originally set-up for overnight stays. However, host have found ways to improvise a bit for their specific spaces. Here is an example of a listing:
~~~

Enjoy the serenity of nature when you rent this unique event space. There is a playground, a fire pit, an area for grilling, tents, and plenty of free parking. Tables, chairs, and catering equipment available for rent.

Price shown is for 4-hour event time-frame plus 1 hour for set up.

The space

This is an open second floor studio space perfect for classy, casual and fun events. Seating and tables available for up to 60 people. Basic decoration packages for very reasonable price!

Guest access

You can make arrangements for an outdoor event with our canopy tents in the very large courtyard.

Other things to note

All events must end by 12 am, unless prior arrangement has been especially made. The location is secluded but residential.

Can you link to these 'many listings ' on Airbnb that are promoting themselves as events rather than accommodation spaces @Jasmine654
