Top 10 – best event venues in Brussels [part I]

One of the biggest and most convenient spots to organize an event in Brussels is the European Parliament.
It is convenient because you can have it for free, as long as a member of the EP hosts the event for you.

Speaking by experience

This is what we did, for instance, for the conclusive event of Once upon a time in Anderlecht but also as the background of many other video productions.
Needless to say, the Parliament offers a wide range of rooms, of all size, with full equipment and a magic atmosphere.

Back again to more conventional and fully equipped event venues, you may consider dragging your guests to the lovely area of Châtelain.
The MCE conference & business centre has all kind of rooms and services, which a big conference may require.

Pick your city

The rooms are named after the major European capitals and the reception area is big and elegant. Maybe not that easy to reach for a non-local audience, at least compared with the other venues.

If you are in the mood for a small, participative event, maybe with a cultural appeal, you shall take a look at La Piola libri.
Located very close to the European Commission’s headquarters, in Schuman, the venue is a bar, which easily turns into a fancy spot for book presentations, Italian aperitivi, and warm networking.

All you need is wine

A wide collection of wines strengthens a cozy atmosphere, which your guests (no more than 20-30) will definitely enjoy.

Going back to more conventional venue spots, a warm advice would be the very central and fully equipped Bip, managed by the local municipality.
You may expect a slightly less expensive proposal for a large room with all the necessary ingredients to a successful public event, conference, or similar.

Keep your event central

Very close to the Magritte museum, it can offer your guests a quick access to the city centre, in case they are more interested in tourism than your event.

If you like the thrill to host your event in the European cradle of terrorism, the notorious Molenbeek area, you may consider Lavallée, an event and co-working space, where – by the way – Smart Videos has its headquarters.

Arts don’t bite

The venue is a 5000 squared metres area, which specializes in cultural and artistic events.
The decoration matches the street art feel, which rich people love very much, as it offers adrenaline to their boring comfortable life.
