Walk on the Wild Side: Unusual or Unique Event Spaces - AFR Furniture Rental and AFR Event Furnishings Blog

Clients are always looking for new and different spaces for events. A plethora of different reasons take clients on a search for something outside the norm of ballrooms and four walled venues.

Being different. Clients like different and unique whether it be because of a theme desire or status standpoint or simply to create an environment that supports their brand. Everyone loves when their guests walk away raving about their events.

Being the first. Clients love when they are able to be the first group to hold an event at a new venue. It sets them apart from the crowd, and sometimes the competition if there are multiple events in a city during a conference.

Being creative. Being creative creates a buzz for the host whether corporate or social. Who doesn’t love when their guests walk away from their event thinking that the host is the most creative mastermind to ever hit planet earth? Using places that are accessible to everyone and creating an unexpected experience a big deal.

The opportunities are endless. You’ve heard the saying, “Stop and smell the roses”, right? The same rule applies when looking for a unique or unusual venue. All you need to do is stop and take a look around you and let yourself dream a little. Ask the question, - what if? Thinking outside the norm of ordinary, will give you a chance to either find a unique or unusual venue or create one.

Let your imagination take a walk on the wild side. Try something that is out-of- the-box extraordinary when your next client calls looking for something unusual. Make sure to consider every detail carefully. Creative venues are more challenging, and sometimes more expensive, when you consider everything that needs to be brought to the site to make the event happen in a high level manner that is standard with a more traditional venue.
