Whether it is a conference hall, an open-air event space or even a filming location, sometimes businesses need additional venues outside of the usual office space and meeting rooms. If you only need a space for only a few hours or perhaps a day or two, event and venue rental platforms may provide the perfect solution to your event needs. Think Airbnb but for event space.
These event and venue rental platforms offer a large variety of spaces, including ballrooms, karaoke rooms, art studios, dance studios and seminar rooms, to accommodate any event usage you can think of. Need to host a corporate party, team yoga class, teambonding, or rehearse dance for the company D&D, these platforms got you covered.
#1 GetSpaces
Offering a variety of spaces for all kinds of spaces, GetSpaces is a platform to book event spaces by the hour. The booking system also allows for recurring bookings (if you want to make repeated bookings) or multiple day bookings. Venue locations offered include baking studios, dance studios (even a pole dance studio), kitchen and living spaces, photography and videography studios and cafes. Some listings even allow you to instantly book the venue, saving on the hassle of making enquiries.
Aside from booking the whole venue (full space), you can also book coworking spaces that are single person setups. Interestingly, you can also book a single person gym station via this option.
Full space prices range from $20 per hour for dance studio to $900 per hour for a café.
#2 Staytion

#5 VenuExplorer
Thinking of hosting an event at a bar or restaurant? What about sports venue or a karting circuit? VenuExplorer goes beyond the usual meeting rooms and corporate settings to link you up with some unique venues such as KF1 Karting Circuit, Zouk, National Gallery Singapore. Need a 5000 pax venue? Consider the Changi Exhibition Centre.

Prices range from $16 for a co-working space to $20,000 for an exhibition centre.
Businesses Can Also List Their Spaces For Rental On These Platforms
If your company has a beautifully furnished meeting room that isn’t frequently used, venue rental platforms like the ones listed above can be a way to help monetise the unutilised space. As most platforms allow you to list venue availability and booking confirmation is only sent at the vendor’s approval, you can continue to use the space for your company’s own operations while listing it during the times the space is idle.
For companies who are not ready to commit to downsizing their office footprint or have underutilised spaces, this may be a perfect compromise to earn some revenue to offset the cost of owning or renting the space.
