If you’re an event planner looking for complete control over your event setup, dry hire venues offer the ideal solution. These venues are provided as a blank canvas—offering the space alone, without in-house services like catering, audiovisual equipment, décor, or staffing.
At Best Venues London, we specialise in helping planners source the perfect dry hire venues across the capital.
Full Creative Freedom
Bring in your own trusted suppliers and tailor every detail to suit your client’s needs.
Maximum Flexibility
From room layouts to menu design, you control how the event unfolds.
Cost Efficiency
Manage your own budget by selecting vendors that meet your price point and quality standards.
Dry hire venues are suitable for a wide range of occasions, including:
Product launches
Corporate meetings & conferences
Weddings & private celebrations
Brand activations
Creative workshops & exhibitions
While dry hire offers a high level of flexibility, it also requires careful coordination. As a planner, your role in managing logistics, schedules, and third-party vendors is key to ensuring the event runs seamlessly.
At Best Venues London, we have an extensive portfolio of dry hire venues—from modern industrial lofts to elegant historic halls. Our expert team is here to support you in sourcing a venue that fits your creative vision and practical needs.
Contact us today to discuss your event brief. Our venue-finding service is fast, free, and fully tailored to professionals like you.
