Blank canvas venues give you plenty of freedom when it comes to arranging the space, and some of them will also be flexible in other aspects, such as catering. For example, Warehouse Space at Bighouse Arts in Coburg North and ON3 Studio in Brunswick East both offer BYO venue hire, which means you are free to bring your own food and alcohol to the event. Not only does it give you more freedom, but it can also be a good way to save some cash if you’re on a budget!
