If you’re looking to dance, check with your host to see if the town has any noise restrictions.

How many bathrooms are in the house? This really becomes crucial for larger parties where you may need to rent a bathroom trailer. Your caterer or chef may also be able to use the existing kitchen, versus building out a separate one with rental equipment. If you are having an intimate wedding, you may be able to use the china and glassware at the house. Get information about what’s included in the kitchen. Does the neighborhood have street parking, or do they have recommendations of nearby public lots? If parking is an issue, you’ll have to factor in shuttles for guests. Not only do you need parking for any guests who will be driving, but your vendors will need space as well, especially to unload during set-up. Parking is a super important and often overlooked piece of planning weddings in private homes. There also may be a set of rules around minimum nights and exclusive vendors. Most times there is an additional event fee that comes with booking the property. Even if the listing says it does allow parties, message the host before booking your stay. While you could search all houses and individually message hosts to ask, it’s a big time saver to first go for houses that already have a policy in place. Because they aren’t traditional wedding venues, you’ll want to make sure you do thorough research before booking.Īlmost all of the rental sites have filters for “allowing parties and events”. There are so many advantages to having an Airbnb wedding, but there are some major factors to keep in mind. If you’ve been searching “unique wedding venues” and haven’t had much luck, I recommend turning to the rental home sites Airbnb and VRBO.
