Definition: The venue is supplied without any services – no catering or services, you bring all your own people.
Variations:
- Full Dry Hire: You handle everything—catering, furniture, lighting, the work.
- Partial Dry Hire: Venue provides basics (e.g., tables, chairs) but you bring the rest, like custom linens or AV equipment.
- Pop-Up Venues: Temporary spaces like rooftop terraces or art galleries for one-night-only vibes.
Presentation Tips:
- Transform the Space: Use draping fabrics or fairy lights to turn a venue into a wonderland.
- Statement Pieces: Bring in vintage furniture or neon signs to set the mood.
- Cohesive Vision: Tie it all together with a mood board to ensure your rentals match the theme.
Tips & Tricks:
- Budget for extra rentals like tables, chairs, generators or portable restrooms for truly raw spaces.
- Hire a day-of coordinator to manage vendor setup and avoid stress.
- Check venue restrictions (e.g., noise limits or load-in times) before booking.
- Plan a site visit to map out logistics like power outlets or guest flow.
