If it is a 1000-square-meter venue, the monthly rent in first-tier cities may be 200000 to 500000 yuan, and in second- and third-tier cities it may be 50000 to 200000 yuan. Usually, 3-6 months' rent needs to be reserved as an initial investment.

If a high-end venue with a sense of technology and fashion is created, the decoration cost per square meter may reach 2000-5000 yuan; intermediate-level decoration costs approximately 1000-2000 yuan per square meter; simple basic decoration costs 500-1000 yuan per square meter. A venue of 1000 square meters requires 2-5 million yuan for high-end decoration, 1-2 million yuan for medium decoration, and 500,000 to 1 million yuan for basic decoration.
