The house was so beautiful and perfect for our shoot! Nina was an awesome host, she received us, let us have our space when we were shooting and checked in on us at the end to ensure we got everything we needed or if we needed extra time. I appreciated Nina so much. Would definitely recommend and will book again in the future!

All About Renting a House Location

You'll find everything from Spanish-style homes and cozy lake houses to modern farmhouses and beach cottages a walk from museums, shops, and city attractions. Start browsing Giggster's 10000 listings to find a venue that ticks all the boxes for your next event. From filming a movie scene to hosting work colleagues, a house location fits the bill!

The Best Events for a House Location

Giggster can help you find event venues like our Unfinished Basement. Great for horror. for a charity event, a networking session, or a bachelorette party. Homes fall into the category of unique venues, providing endless possibilities for seating layouts and rented furnishings. If you have trouble identifying the best event space, these ideas can help with the search.

  • Villas – Birthday Parties. Looking for a chic location to celebrate your milestone birthday? How does a beachfront villa with a pool and a backyard sound? Hire a DJ and make your party one to remember!

  • Resort Properties – Conference Meetings. Forget about plain meeting venues in your office. With Giggster's wide selection of resort properties, corporate events, meetings, and team-building activities, weekends will never be boring again.

  • Townhouses – Baby Showers. Rent a Victorian townhouse with an English garden for a tea party-themed baby shower. Dine al fresco on the patio or roof terrace.

  • Restaurant Homes – Wedding Receptions. If you've had enough loud and lavish banquet halls and ballrooms, you can't go wrong with a historic restaurant house with landscaped gardens for your wedding.

  • Lofts – Film Shoots. Loft studios have natural light and the best offer city skyline views. They favor video or photo shoot projects but can provide a backdrop for any intimate gathering.

House Location Must-Haves

Giggster has unique venues for all private parties, but the event space you pick should have everything you need for an unforgettable event.

Is the house easily accessible? The perfect place should have easy access to public transportation and other conveniences, whether you're planning a wedding, a team-building meeting, or a conference.

What is the parking situation? A house usually won't have a large parking lot, especially in a central location. Check the available options and arrange for those driving to use a nearby lot if necessary. If you're filming a movie scene, you'll need ample space to unload gear.

Do you need a pool or an outdoor patio? Do you envision a backyard with a pool? Or would a rooftop access and outdoor terrace with plenty of photo ops be better? Know what you want from an event space before you start your search.

Pros and Cons of Events at a House Location

An event at a house location can be somewhat beneficial but don't expect it to be all that perfect. Here are reasons why you should host your next event at home and what you should do to overcome the obstacles.

Advantages

  • A house can provide overnight accommodation, which can come in handy for guests traveling from afar.

  • Event venues like restaurants and banquet halls have in-house catering, and you have to discuss the menu with the chef to customize it to your needs. One of the best benefits of a house party is that you can bring your food and drinks.

  • Most event spaces have opening and closing times but not private house rentals. You can set the start and finish time whenever it best suits you.

Disadvantages

  • Residential areas usually have limited parking spaces, which could be an issue for large events. Let attendees know about the lack of parking space; maybe they are uncomfortable paying parking fees, especially if the event lasts the entire day.

  • Unlike restaurants, cafes, ballrooms, and other event venues where you can be a guest with the rest, a house party means cleaning up afterward. If you don't want to ask friends and family to help, hire an after-party cleaning company and let someone else deal with the messy part.

  • Not having set hours for a party can be both good and bad. When planning an event at a house location, getting everyone to leave when you are done and ready to sleep will be hard.

Planning Your House Location Event

Giggster can help you find different venues in any U.S. city and beyond, from San Diego to Chicago to Miami to London and Rome. Giggster is your one-stop destination for unique spaces with everything you need. Use these helpful tips to plan a memorable event in your chosen house setting.

Rent the Perfect Venue – Do you want a serene beachfront location or a townhouse in the buzzing downtown? Consider the size, layout, accessibility, and accommodations for out-of-town guests.

Decorate the Event Space – Decorations can turn a regular venue into an outstanding party space. A reception venue needs flowers, centerpieces, and photo backdrops, while a celebratory meeting can make do with balloons and banners.

Create a Menu – Do you have a food and drinks menu? Are you getting a cake for the birthday party? Cocktails help people relax and mingle, while buffet-style service suits a bridal shower. A wedding reception and business meeting are normally sit-down events.

Plan Entertainment – Will you hire a DJ or band? It depends on your budget and the occasion, but party classics like charades are always a hit.

How to Save Money on a House Location Rental

The best thing about house rentals is spending as little or as much as you want. That said, you must carefully allocate a budget to each aspect of the event without cutting corners or overindulging.

Have you booked a house location?

A micro wedding, for example, doesn't need a large estate or a three-story house; book a suburban home with a pool and a BBQ grill and reduce rental fees. Special events are always amazing around a gorgeous pool.

Get creative and DIY decor.

Decorations are an additional cost, but they certainly add to the atmosphere, especially if you have a theme. You can decorate the event venue without breaking the bank by making DIY decorations using items you already have.

Embrace the BYOB (bring your own beverage) concept.

Alcohol is one of the biggest hosting expenses, especially at large-scale events. If you don't feel comfortable asking guests to bring their drinks, limit the bar to wine and beer only, offering a set number per guest before closing the bar.

Plan Your House Event with Giggster

Private residences have much to offer for a filming location or photo shoot, an intimate birthday party, or a mega charity event. Between the unique ambiance, privacy, and personalized experience, the right house location can turn any plain event into an unforgettable evening. On Giggster, you'll find many house locations for your next event that match your style, budget, and needs. Scroll through the curated listings on the app and book the perfect venue today!
