Private Party Options in Cardiff

Hosting a private party isn't easy. There are several different aspects you should consider: entertainment, food, music, lighting, and furniture, to name a few. To pull off a memorable soirée, you're going to need some help from several party vendors, including a caterer, a furniture hire company, and a mobile bar hire company.

• Catering
  Ask anyone what their favourite aspect of a party is, and they're probably going to say it's the food. That's why it pays to have a good caterer who will provide excellent food for your hungry guests.

• Furniture Hire
  So, you've found the perfect venue. Now it's time to think about furniture. Your chosen venue may provide some furniture, but it may not be exactly what you were hoping for. If this is the situation you find yourself in, there's no need to worry! Hiring furniture couldn't be easier.

• Mobile Bar Hire
  Aside from the food, guests will also be looking forward to having a tipple or two. Step up your private party a notch or two by hiring a mobile bar with experienced bartending staff. Why order a bog-standard beer when you can have an espresso martini made by an expert mixologist?

So if you'd like to wander through nature or even rent your party venue near these green spaces, there are plenty of places to choose from.

• Friendly locals
  Welsh people are known as really quite friendly. A study found that Welsh people are actually some of the least competitive in the UK and are known for being selfless and preferring collective communities. So if you're not originally from Cardiff and you plan to throw a party here, you're sure to encounter warm people in Wales!

Disadvantages

• Weather
  Wales is well-known for its incredibly wet weather. For example, one Welsh village, Eglwyswrw, saw 82 solid days of rain! But don't worry, the rainy village is around 90 miles away from Cardiff, so hopefully, you'll experience better weather conditions in the location that you choose! Of course, it wouldn't hurt to always be prepared and bring your rain gear at all times.

• Transport links
  Compared to the rest of the United Kingdom, Wales doesn't have the best transport links. The M4 is one of the most complained about roads in the country, especially the section between Newport and Cardiff. Additionally, trains are often overcrowded. If you're not a fan of tightly packed spaces, you may want to avoid taking the train!

  Cardiff's most iconic building, the Millennium Centre, is viewed as the city's cultural hub. The centre hosts a variety of exciting shows, concerts, opera, seminars, and much more. Once you've seen a show or danced the evening away at a concert, why not have a quick bite to eat or something to drink in one of the Millennium Centre's food and drink outlets? If you're in the mood for a cup of coffee and a slice of cake, head over to Caffi or Double Zero. But if you're looking for something a little bit stronger, head over to Teras or Bar One for a delicious tipple!
