Choosing the right venue for your corporate event is crucial. It can make or break your event's success. Here are some key factors to consider when making your choice:
1. Define Your Event Goals
Before you start searching for a venue, clarify your event's objectives. Are you aiming to educate, network, or celebrate? Understanding your goals helps narrow down your options.
2. Consider the Location
The venue's location significantly affects attendance. Choose a site that is easily accessible for your guests. It should ideally be near public transportation and accommodations.
Located in the heart of Denver’s vibrant RiNo Art District, our gallery is easily accessible by public transport, just minutes from downtown hotels and attractions.
3. Assess the Capacity
Choose a venue that comfortably accommodates your expected number of guests. Consider not only seating arrangements but also space for networking and activities.
4. Evaluate Amenities and Services
Check if the venue provides essential amenities such as restrooms, parking, Wi-Fi, and catering services. Additional services like event planning assistance can also be beneficial.
At Rainy Days Gallery, we offer on-site restrooms, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a prep area for catering. You also have direct vendor access through our service entrance. We partner with local vendors like Millers & Rossi and Chef Andrea Frizzi for curated food and beverage experiences.
5. Budget Considerations
Establish a clear budget for your venue. Remember to account for hidden costs like service fees, parking, and equipment rentals.
Rainy Days Gallery charges a base fee of $675.00 for a 3-hour event, with each additional hour costing $225.00. Be sure to ask about our event planner discount program!
6. Check Availability
Once you have a shortlist of venues, check their availability for your desired date. Popular venues may get booked well in advance.
As a rising destination in Denver’s event scene, our calendar fills up quickly. Contact us in advance to secure your ideal date.
The only day you cannot book an event at Rainy Days Gallery is the first Saturday of every month. However, you're welcome to attend our monthly first Saturday community event!
7. Visit the Venue
If possible, always visit the venue in person. This helps you assess the space, ambiance, and overall suitability for your event.

8. Read Reviews and Testimonials
Look for reviews from previous clients to gauge the venue's reputation. Positive testimonials can provide valuable insight into the experiences of others.
"This is some of the nicest art in Denver."
"Working with Jordan was extremely easy, and the event went so smoothly thanks to his help!"
"We can actually spend time looking at this art, unlike the Denver Art Museum."
"Your rates are extremely reasonable. Thank you for accommodating our needs!"
9. Flexibility and Customization
Consider whether the venue allows customization of the space to fit your event's theme. Flexibility in setup can enhance the overall experience, making it more memorable for attendees.
Our open-concept floor space and easily adjustable art hanging system allow us to customize our installation to best fit your vision!
10. Plan for Contingencies
Make sure the venue has contingency plans for unforeseen circumstances, such as inclement weather for outdoor events or technical difficulties during presentations.
Our indoor venue ensures that your event runs smoothly, rain or shine. We offer backup tech support and have a team on-site during your event to assist with logistics.
By taking all these factors into account, you can choose a corporate event venue that aligns with your objectives and provides a memorable experience for your attendees.
