An industrial venue as a party room

Start looking early for an industrial venue with the character you have in mind: factory halls with an authentic history are popular and can be fully booked up to a year in advance.

Every industrial venue tells a different story: an old brewery has a different feel to a former laboratory or a power station. Let yourselves be guided by the atmosphere that appeals to you most as a wedding venue.

Think about your budget for your wedding or party before visiting an industrial venue. The basic set-up varies greatly from venue to venue: some venues provide only the bare space, whilst others already include furniture, lighting or a sound system. You should therefore always ask exactly what is included in the hire price and what you’ll need to provide yourself.

Industrial venues range from compact halls to enormous factory spaces. Work out how many square metres you’ll need for your guest list, and whether the space can be divided into smaller areas.

During your visit, take a close look at the acoustics, heating and electrical capacity: large, open industrial spaces sometimes require extra attention in these areas.

Opt for an industrial venue with a history that suits you: a factory hall, laboratory or power station each offers a different atmosphere. Take into account the number of guests and the dimensions of the space, and check which basic facilities, such as lighting and heating, are already in place. That way, the venue will be ready to be decorated entirely in your own style.

Are you drawn to the urban atmosphere of an industrial venue, but looking for something a bit different? A modern venue offers the same sleek aesthetic with more natural light. Are you looking for a venue with a bit more charm? Then a historic venue, such as a castle, will provide that character. If you’re more of a fan of a rural setting, be sure to check out a barn or farmhouse.

You can usually hire an industrial venue for between 750 and 7,300 euros, excluding food and drink. If you want to hire the entire property exclusively, the cost rises to around 35,000 euros, also excluding food and drink. The final price depends on the location and exactly what’s included.
