Hosting Events at short term vacation rental.
Hi! My wife & I started our AirBNB business in October 2021. We have received a few requests to have weddings hosted on the property. These requests are super flattering but are catching us off guard. We honestly didn’t anticipate these kind of requests. (Likely because we are rookies!). Any advice on what we should consider when someone is requesting an event? Thanks in advance!

Depends on your property. Cabin in the woods with a lot of land, go for it. Suburban home, probably not a great idea to have large events.
You will also need to consider that you will need to draw up legal contracts for the events, liability insurance, possibly food and safety/alcohol permits, and a bevy of other things that I probably don't know about.
If you think this would be a good idea I would ask around your local area and see who is doing events and try to get info from them. Once that is done you will have a better idea of whether or not you actually want to go this route. Good luck!
