Best Airbnb Wedding Venues in New York & NYC
Pre-Covid, it was possible to rent select Airbnbs and use them as Airbnb wedding venues in New York. However, in 2020, Airbnb instilled a temporary event ban, which went permanent in 2022.
For those yearning for the good ol’ days, Peerspace is the answer, offering small spaces that are actually meant to be used as event spaces. For couples originally planning an Airbnb wedding in NYC, whether you’re looking for a ceremony space or one that can also be used for a micro reception, Peerspace is a great platform to search for affordable microwedding or elopement venues. Not only are many of them easier on the wallet, but some also have hookups with catering, furniture like tables and chairs, and other rentals that make a backyard DIY wedding such a hassle.
If you’re looking for a small wedding venue in NYC but don’t want to shell out the big bucks, consider these Peerspace wedding venues in New York.
