A modern party room location

Start looking for a suitable modern function venue well in advance, especially if you have your eye on a venue with striking architecture. These venues are often in high demand for both weddings and corporate events, which limits their availability.

Think carefully about the atmosphere you want to create at your wedding or event: a modern venue can be decorated in a sleek, minimalist style or a warm, homely one. Check whether the venue’s basic décor already matches your style, or whether you’d prefer to personalise it further with your own decorations.

Consider your budget before visiting a modern function room. Ask exactly what is included, such as furniture, lighting and décor. The sleek, minimalist interior of a modern venue often offers plenty of freedom for your own styling, which may affect your decoration budget.

Think about the number of guests you wish to invite. Modern function rooms come in a variety of sizes, from compact spaces for an intimate gathering to large, flexibly configurable rooms for hundreds of guests.

Think in advance about the questions you want to ask during your visit to a modern function venue, for example regarding the flexibility of the space, the technical equipment available and parking facilities in the vicinity. In our article featuring 35 practical questions, you’ll discover what you should look out for to make an informed choice.

Choose a modern function venue based on the architecture and natural light you’re looking for, the number of guests and the scope for your own decor. A venue with lots of glass and high ceilings creates a different atmosphere to one with a more compact, intimate layout. Also bear your budget in mind, as some venues have their own catering, which may incur additional costs. Ask what’s included as standard in terms of furniture, lighting and technical facilities. That way, you’ll find the perfect modern venue to suit your needs.

As well as a modern function venue, you might also be drawn to an industrial function venue, with a similar urban feel and raw, authentic touches. Would you prefer a timeless look? Then a historic venue such as a castle is a classic choice. And if you love a rural setting, you’ll find that atmosphere in a barn or farmhouse.

For a modern function venue, expect a hire price of between 750 and 7,300 euros, excluding food and drink. With a modern venue, the price often depends on the location (city centre versus the countryside) and the technical facilities included as standard, such as bespoke lighting or audiovisual equipment. All-inclusive packages can cost up to around 35,000 euros, excluding food and drink. Make sure to ask each venue specifically what is included. Want to know more about the total cost of a wedding?

Yes, modern function venues in central locations or with striking architecture are often fully booked months or even more than a year in advance, partly because they are also in high demand for corporate events. So make sure you start your search in good time.

Modern function rooms are usually newly built or recently refurbished, which means they are often easily accessible as standard, with a lift, wide corridors and a level floor, unlike some older or historic venues. Always check this with your specific venue, as this can vary from place to place.
