How To Pick The Perfect Party Venue

When planning a party, you will be faced with a list of decisions you have to make to upgrade your celebration from fine to fabulous. Accommodation choice tops that list, and for a good reason. It will be the starting point of your big bash, where only good vibes must roll. To create an unforgettable event experience, you will first need to find a spacious and suitable party venue that will match your theme and preferences.

So, you are planning to get the party started but find yourself clueless about how to choose a party venue for your squad. We got you! Here are all the ins and outs of finding the top-notch spot to host your festivity.

Things to consider when searching for a party venue

Party vibe

First things first! Start your search for the best party venue by first deciding on the type of fiesta you want. Are you picturing a leisure get-together where your guests can chitchat and mingle, or do you want to reach the rock-the-house kind of vibe? Maybe you dream about a cool countryside bonfire gathering while sipping beer and telling jokes until the wee hours. Perhaps what you have in mind is a hip penthouse suite with skyline views where you can shake, rattle, and roll with your besties while cute Cocktail Boys pour champagne and take the party up a notch.

So, chic or chill, what is your choice? Solve this one first. Then you can start digging for the perfect party place.

Type of Accommodation

Before casting a wide net for your party crash space, you might want to decide on what type of venue you are actually trying to find. If you are planning a downtown party and want to posh up your event, the most convenient option will be finding a space that is close to the nightlife buzz. In this case, you can opt for hotels or premium rentals. The high-end charm of hotels is the ideal warm-up for a party drenched in luxury before heading to the club. The flip side of this type of accommodation is the price, as hotels always tend to cost a little more. 

If you have a limited budget and do not want to spend all of your money on your party venue, think about renting an apartment. You can find pretty cool spaces that are ritzy, glitzy enough, close to all the city’s attractions, and still won’t break the bank.

But if your vision for a perfect party is a poolside house where Cocktail Boys serve drinks and play your favorite tunes while you dance with your girls like there is no tomorrow, you might want to consider renting an entire residence. In that way, you will have more privacy and space for all your fun and festive activities.

Capacity and comfort

Another vital aspect when choosing a venue for a party is its capacity and comfort. Trust us, there is no bigger party spoiler than a place that is too small for your crowd. You surely don’t want your guests to feel uncomfortable and be forced to scooch in a room with a limited capacity. The same goes for huge spaces, as they can make the event seem scattered and disorganized.

To guarantee the success of your bash, the best option is to calculate the number of guests that are expected. After having a rough number, you can choose a party venue accommodating everyone. Don’t forget that it is not only about the physical space but also about the arrangement of the furniture. Plus, don’t forget about the ease of movement within the place. The comfort of your party crowd is a critical factor to ensure that everybody will have the time of their lives and have nothing but a positive experience of the event as a whole.

Additional party venue services

Once you pick the right party place that provides the best possible capacity and comfort, it is important to ask about additional services included in the rent price. Think about things like parking, pools, garden furniture, kitchen utensils, music speakers, etc. These may sometimes be the dealbreaker if they are missing. Who wants to make unlimited rounds around the block to find a free parking space? Or park three blocks further and drag their bags up to the final destination? That is no way to start a party, for sure!

Discuss additional services that are not included in the price as well, like catering services, for example. Maybe the owners of the party venue you want to rent can suggest some excellent restaurants nearby where you can grab a bite or food service to prepare your party appetizers and deliver them directly so you can scratch that one off your list. Talk with the landlords about everything you might need for your celebration. In this way, you will avoid misunderstandings and unpleasant surprises when the event date arrives.

Budget

The choice of the perfect party place is also linked to the event’s budget. It is crucial to balance the needs of the fiesta and the financial limitations. It is a real bummer when an impressive space you fancied so much is out of your reach. To avoid drooling over places you want but can’t afford, filter your search to show you only places that fit your budget. 

Here is some good advice: book your party venue far in advance to get cheaper rates. That will also turn out well with availability issues, as the best places offered always tend to be booked first. But in the end, it’s the people that make the party a blast, not the spot itself. Therefore, don’t bang your head against a wall if the venue you want is not available or overpriced.

Read reviews

Accommodation reviews are like a godsend that will help you make or break your final decision for the desired party venue. Sometimes, the things you see in pictures will amaze you. However, right when you are about to say ‘Bingo!’, you’ll read the reviews and see that it’s not quite like you have imagined. This mainly goes to points that cannot be seen in photos, like space, cleanliness, renovation, amenities, or hospitability. 

Obviously, you will come across super tidy rooms in pictures that look modern and spacious enough. But that might not be the case once you get there when it will be far too late to look for another party place. That’s why you must read the reviews before booking. That way, you will be able to find out all the hidden details and hear all the honest opinions from people who have already been there and done that.

In essence, you will discover very useful information. This includes things like whether the host is pleasant and open for communication. Or if the walls of the room are too thin, or even if the space has some peculiar smell. There are even times when there are not sufficient linens or towels for all guests, or not all amenities are the same as described. The only way to find out all about these details is by reading the reviews of past experiences.

Extra things to pay attention to when deciding on your party venue

Here are some extra tips for choosing a venue for a party that will ensure nothing will spoil your good times.

• Noise restrictions: Tell your host the reason why you want to rent the space before booking. Let them know that the music will be loud, and people will shout and sing even louder. Any kind of noise restrictions are not welcome in your party.
  
• Location: Explore the area of your chosen party venue to find out if there are any close grocery shops or liquor stores so you don’t have to drive for miles to refill your stocks.

• Customization: Ask the property manager if it’s ok to decorate the space according to your taste. We are talking about banners, balloons, or confetti that are an inevitable part of a party. This is especially important if it’s a themed one.

The space chosen for a party is the first impression that the guests will have. As we well know, the first impression is the one that always counts. From the moment your fellow party crew arrives at the place, they will begin to evaluate the quality of the event. Usually, this is based on the appearance, location, and atmosphere created. A well-chosen space creates positive vibes, good memories, and an experience that guests will remember with pleasure.

For that reason, your chosen party venue must represent the nature and purpose of the event. And with these handy tips on how to pick the perfect party spot, we are sure your party will be unforgettable, and everyone will have a blast. Keep the music loud, let the Cocktail Boys entertain you, and never stop dancing!
