Think outside the box and consider odd, out of the ordinary, venues. You will be a hit with your guests.<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n<p>One challenge that a meeting planner faces is selecting unique or out of the ordinary venues. Planners are always trying to outdo themselves for their next event. And quite often, especially with associations, they\u2019re dealing with repeat customers. So it\u2019s vital that a meeting planner provides a fresh agenda as a way to keep the delegates coming back time and time again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From my full service destination management (DMC) days, it was always a priority to propose unique or odd venues for dinners and receptions. Of course by doing so it was our hopes that we would be awarded the piece of business. We understood the importance of this to a prospective meeting planner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Unique_Venues_That_Will_Have_People_Talking_about_Your_Event\"><\/span>5 Unique Venues That Will Have People Talking about Your Event<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An Airport Hangar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check with your local CVB or DMC and ask if their city has a hangar which houses older nostalgic aircraft for added atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An Old Bank Vault<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many older banks have been converted into condominiums or retail space. However because of the size and weight of old bank vaults many have remained in their current locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dinner on Stage \u2013 Literally<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve done this one with several groups. Surprise the guests by having them think they\u2019re going on a theater tour. At the end of the tour the curtain rises revealing the dinner setting. People love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An Outdoor Dinner with Food Trucks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking the outdoor event up a notch: replace food stations with food trucks. The evolution of food trucks has them now offering a variety of gourmet foods. They are not just burgers and fries anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Barns<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn\u2019t that long ago that barns were all the rage on Saturday nights. Lately most people don\u2019t think of using barns as an event space. The plus \u2013 built in decor. And you just know that the entertainment will involve a barn dance (or two).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_out_these_additional_articles_on_venue_spaces\"><\/span>Check out these additional articles on venue spaces:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20201023021329\/http:\/\/mastertheevent.com\/event-venues-every-budget\/\" target=\"_blank\">Event Venues for Every Budget<\/a><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20201023021329\/http:\/\/mastertheevent.com\/3-simple-ways-select-venues\/\" target=\"_blank\">3 Simple Ways to Select Venues<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Want_to_add_a_bit_of_spice_to_your_next_meeting_or_conference_Think_outside_the_box_and_consider_odd_out_of_the_ordinary_venues_You_will_be_a_hit_with_your_guests\"><\/span>Want to add a bit of spice to your next meeting or conference?
