There are a number of places in my area that allow you to rent space for
a private party or other gathering. Typically, they provide tables,
chairs, etc., along with perhaps a bar or other services.
OSM doesn't seem to have a standardized tag for this. The ones I've
found in use are:
1 amenity_1 event hall
1 amenity event
4 amenity event_center
1 amenity event centre
5 amenity event_centre
2 amenity event_hall
2 amenity event_location
2 amenity event_space
1 amenity event_vanue
4 amenity event_venue
1 amenity function_centre, wedding venue
1 amenity function hall
1 amenity function_hall
9 amenity function_room
1 amenity function_rooms
1 amenity restaurant;event_location
1 building event_hall
4 building Event_hall
1 building Event_Venue
1 building function hall
1 building:use event_hall
1 designation event center
1 designation Event Center
1 designation Event Hall
2 designation Event location
1 designation Event Venue
1 landuse event_center
1 leisure event_location
1 office event hall
1 tourism Function Hall
1 type function_hall
1 usage event_hall
3 usage Event_hall
...along with a bunch shoehorned into name or description, and sometimes
using other inappropriate but understandably close tags like
amenity=community_centre.
I think this should be standardized.
There are a couple of considerations that should be made:
a) How to distinguish this from amenity=community_centre and
amenity=social_centre (intuitively obvious, but perhaps tricky to write)
b) How to deal with wedding venues. There are many places (hotels,
B&Bs, etc) that don't exclusively host events but are well prepared to
and do so on a regular basis, and even advertise such. Sometimes the
space usage is ambiguous or reconfigurable. Is this worth worrying about
or should we leave the boundary fuzzy and let mappers decide
case-by-case in tricky situations?
Finally, what should the chosen tag be?
