Hotels and conference rooms are always a classic choice for events, but they can get repetitive for event attendees on occasion. In your next search for a creative event space think about a library for your event!

Some of the most beautiful venues around might be right under your nose! Libraries are more than just shelves and books; they hold art, knowledge and have stunning architecture. Libraries vary in size around the world, and all serve a special role for the community they are a part of. This venue can work for business meetings, lectures or social events.

When researching libraries in your area, make sure there is enough space to accommodate the size of your party. Libraries can work for a wide variety of events, but consider using the space for the following event themes:

  • Intimate weddings: For anyone who has seen Sex and the City, you know how spectacular this would be (only with a better ending!)
  • Come as your favorite literary character party: This would be great for Halloween or for a themed party!
  • Cocktail party

  • Corporate meeting
  • Anniversary of a major event

  • Fandom parties
  • Children’s Benefit

Consider theming your event to a popular book series, or holding a “Who Done It” type of event in the Library – circa Sherlock Holms, Murder mystery party etc. This is the perfect place for the characters to come to life.

And Who wouldn’t love a Harry Potter Themed event in an older historic library!

These are just a few themes that could take place in one of these historical sites. Just make sure you have permission to be loud!
