How to List Your Space on Native Spaces

Looking to list your venue for professional events? A well-crafted listing will help you receive targeted inquiries and meet event planners' specific needs.

In this article, we guide you step-by-step through the process of creating a listing on Native Spaces.

Step 1 - Venue Type

To create a listing, go to your Host area, under the "My Venues" tab.

👉 Learn more about your Host area

To begin, simply click the "List a new venue" button.

The first question you will be asked concerns the type of venue you are offering. It's important to select the category that best matches your primary location: Villa, Rooftop, Castle, Apartment, Restaurant, etc.

The chosen type helps categorize your venue correctly in search results.

As soon as you select an option, a message will appear to remind you that it is possible to create a main listing for the entire venue, but also to declare sub-spaces that can be rented separately. This allows you to tailor your offering to varied needs: for example, renting only a meeting room, a rooftop, or a terrace.

Step 2 - General Information

In this section, you will provide the overall information about your venue. This helps event planners quickly understand what you offer when they view your listing.

Venue Description

Next, you will need to fill in the fields related to your venue's description.

The title you enter will only be visible to you: it serves to identify your venue in your dashboard. The platform automatically generates a title optimized for the public.

However, the detailed description is essential and entirely up to you. It will be visible on your listing. Take the time to write clear, informative, and specific text. Highlight the features that make your venue attractive for events: room layout, general atmosphere, accessibility, available equipment, included services, etc.

Specify Your Venue's Capacity

Capacity is vital information for event planners. It lets them know immediately whether your venue can accommodate their event. In this section, you must indicate the maximum number of guests your venue can accommodate, standing and seated, indoors and outdoors.

This is not about the number of chairs or tables available on-site, but rather the structural capacity of your venue.

This information is used in search filters, so the more accurate it is, the more likely you are to appear in the right results. It also helps clients visualize their event in your space without having to ask additional questions.

Indicate If Accommodation is Offered

If your venue offers accommodation (even as an option or supplement), you can specify it. This is an advantage for events that last several days or finish late.

You must also indicate check-in and check-out times to clearly manage arrivals and departures.

Add Quality Photos

Photos are a determining factor in event planners' decisions. A good listing starts with a great first impression. This is why you must upload at least 5 photos of your venue that clearly showcase what you offer.

We strongly recommend:

• Sharp, well-framed photos, in landscape orientation
• Natural light if possible
• Photos that show volumes, different areas, and access points

Additional Services

If you offer services in addition to the private rental of your venue, you can indicate them here. This allows you to enrich your offering and attract organizers looking for full support.

You can specify:

• Event services (DJ, bartender, caterer, furniture, children's entertainment, photography, event planning, transportation, etc.)
• On-site activities (spa, hiking, horseback riding, karaoke, skiing, cooking, cycling, etc.)
• The presence of a professional or standard kitchen, with or without catering equipment (crockery, chairs, tables, etc.)

This field is very useful if you offer all-inclusive packages or regularly work with local providers. It can also justify certain prices and enhance your appeal.

Define Your Availability

By default, your venue is considered continuously available. If you have specific periods when it is not available for rental (booked, maintenance, personal use, etc.), you can block them in the availability calendar.

Use the calendar to indicate unavailable dates, which helps to:

• Avoid irrelevant inquiries
• Save time for both you and the clients
• Keep your agenda up to date, which improves your visibility on the platform

Provide Your Pricing

Native Spaces offers you two pricing models based on how your venue operates:

1. Rental Price

You charge the rental by the hour or by the day. No minimum spend is imposed for catering or services.

2. Minimum Spend

You require a minimum consumption amount (per guest or total), with or without a rental fee. This option is ideal for venues like restaurants, bars, or event spaces with integrated offerings.

In all cases, your starting prices must include:

• VAT (if applicable)
• The Native Spaces commission
• And any other fixed fees (cleaning, venue manager, security, etc.)

A free-text field is provided to add details about your pricing structure, such as: seasonal variations, possible discounts, menu examples, weekend supplements, etc.

Create Packages

Packages are an excellent way to make your offer clearer and gain visibility. They allow organizers to view a complete proposal at a fixed price for a common event type:

• Wedding weekend
• Seminar day
• Company evening event
• Ad-hoc meeting

You can then customize each package during negotiation with the client. It provides a clear foundation that facilitates discussions.

Regulations

Define Deposit and Security Deposit

You can indicate the required down payment amount to confirm a booking. We generally recommend between 30% and 50%, but you can request up to 100% if you wish.

You can also add a security deposit, paid directly by the organizer, to cover potential damages. This deposit is managed by you, not by Native Spaces. You are responsible for its collection, verification, and return.

Choose Your Cancellation Policy

For each venue, you must choose a cancellation policy. This defines up to what point a client can cancel and under what conditions you receive a portion or the entirety of the reserved amount.
