Seminars and company events
Venestalo is a village hall in Finnish Ostrobothnia that an organiser can hire for parties, meetings, evening events and camps. The main building covers about 300 square meters. The ground-floor hall is furnished for 120 people, and the upper floor offers a room with meeting equipment. The hall belongs to the local village association, Veneskoski-Viitala seura ry, and sits in the Viitala village, in the Isokoski area of Seinäjoki.
For a working meeting, the upstairs room is the natural choice. It has table places for 20 people and, according to the association, room for a larger group to gather. Meeting technology is available on that floor. Larger company gatherings, such as a staff party or an association day, fit the ground-floor hall.
Weddings and receptions
The association presents the hall for celebrations in general terms. The official text mentions parties, evening events and camps, and it does not describe wedding hire. A couple planning a reception should ask the association directly whether the format suits the hall.
Rooms and capacities
The ground-floor party hall has furniture for 120 people. It comes with an electric piano and a sound system. Next to it is a well-equipped kitchen and a set of new toilets. The tables measure 80 by 180 centimeters, which helps when planning a seating plan. The rental includes dishes for about 120 people.
The upper-floor hall has table places for 20 people, with room for more. Meeting technology is available there.
Rental can be booked by the day for 12 hours, by 24 hours, or for a weekend from Friday or Thursday to Sunday. Tablecloths, toilet paper, kitchen paper and bin bags are not part of the rental, so the organiser brings them. After the event the association checks the premises and may charge a cleaning fee. It can also arrange the cleaning itself by agreement.
Accommodation
The main building has three bedrooms with six beds in total, laid out as three double beds. One of the bedrooms has its own bathroom. Overnight stays are not included in the hire of the hall: the bedrooms must be rented separately and cannot be used without a rental. For a group arriving with caravans, the association also offers caravan places, which should be mentioned when booking. Caravans may only stand on the field or in the marked parking places.
Catering
The site does not describe in-house catering. The hall has its own kitchen and dishes for about 120 people, so the organiser or a caterer of the organiser's choice prepares the food on site.
Getting there
The address is Viitalantie 221, 60640 Isokoski, in the Viitala village of Seinäjoki. The grounds also hold a gym that is used every day of the week, so guests may meet other users on the property. The association also lists a winter swimming sauna on its site. Rental questions go to the association by email, and the site is written in Finnish only.
