In fact, we’re getting ready to enjoy a space themed event on Saturday. But alas, it’s in a gym.

Sometimes we forget that non-traditional venues can actually excite people. I did an event in the 80s in the D/FW area in an empty museum building. It had restrooms and a nice parking lot, and the space was vast for our bars, tables, chairs and casino equipment for what we billed as a Great Gatsby party. The costumes were fun. Netted $50,000. Your story gets me thinking about a space-themed party in a nice airplane hangar.

I appreciate you writing, Sue. I bet your event is fabulous! One thought … don’t be afraid to survey your guests with some different venue options and see what they say. (And maybe you’ve already done this.) I like unusual venues, but you are right … they can be “trouble!”

Sherry, thanks for blogging on this topic. It’s good to know that we are on the right track. We hold our event in a hangar and sometimes I wonder if it’s worth all the trouble. It always looks fantastic the night of, but the work to get it there is something else! This year we were considering a different venue that is more “standard.” After reading your blog, I’m going to book the hangar again.
