How booking works

From first look to event day.

Every venue takes inquiries; member venues can be booked and paid online. Here’s how booking a member venue works:

  1. 1. Explore the map.

    Browse venues across central Virginia, and open any listing for photos, spaces, and details — including the nonprofit your booking supports.

  2. 2. Request your date.

    Pick a space and time, and tell the host about your event: the type, the guest count, and anything special you'll need.

  3. 3. Get a response.

    Hosts review each request and reply within a week. Once yours is approved, you'll get a payment link for the rental fee plus GuildeHall's 5% service fee.

  4. 4. Check out.

    Pay online in one step. Liability insurance is required — we'll email you a pre-filled form to make it simple. Any security deposit is collected now and refunded after your event.
