The Best Place for an After Party

Weddings and other events with ceremonies have one thing in common: they end with a grand after party. The official festivities kick off once you say "I do," accept an award, or get the graduation certificate, so get the party started by finding a perfect event venue.

An after party is the icing on the cake after your dream wedding reception or attending your graduation ceremony. It keeps the party going long after the final song at the reception or receiving an award recognizing your achievements. The difference is receptions have speeches, toasts, and entertainment, whereas the post-ceremony celebration is about dancing, drinking, and late-night food, so it's important to host it in a place where everyone can be comfortable and have fun.

If you want to toast to the next chapter and are looking for the best setting for the occasion, Giggster can help you find after party venues no matter your budget and style. From unique retro spaces and charming greenhouses to luxury lofts and modern homes, we'll help you find the perfect location to impress your guests at a price you can afford.

Why Choose Giggster for Your After Party?

Whether you want to book a party bus for a celebration on the move or explore local bars after your destination wedding, Giggster can help you rent an event venue. Find after party venues like Natural light creative studio by browsing our extensive lists.

• Maybe, you'd rather have your wedding party and all the other festivities in the same venue. Rent an event center with an outside space and a banquet room. Your reception might unfold beautifully in a banquet hall, and you can move the after-party outside.

• If your idea of a perfect post-ceremony celebration includes live music and indoor/outdoor seating, host your party in a dive bar. Look for a spot with a sound system and a DJ booth for music and entertainment.

• Book an easily accessible house near the ceremony site if you prefer to take the party indoors. Look for a residence near the trendiest spots if you are up for a night in the town, or choose an estate with a bar.

• Hosting your after-party at an outdoor patio restaurant will leave a lasting Impression. Search for a spot with food, drinks, and music or speakers to play your own curated playlist.

Choosing the Right Type of Location for Your After Party

You could go bowling, clubbing, or host a bonfire party or pizza party. No matter what experience you want to create, Giggster can connect you with the best space, with 14728 wedding after party venues. An evening of fun awaits after you choose a venue. Here are a few ideas and tips to help you decide.

Clubs – Dance Parties. Nightclubs are where after-parties come alive. A dance party is an exciting way to wind down the night, so look for a club with a dance floor, a great DJ, and a fully stocked bar.

Bowling Alleys – Bowling Parties. If you want some friendly competition between you and your guests, host your after-party in a bowling alley. Party rooms are available at most bowling alleys, or you can reserve the entire space for your late-night gathering. Book a venue that serves food and drinks or can let you bring yours.

Banquet Halls – Formal Parties. A banquet hall is the perfect place to host a reception, followed by an after-party that extends into the late hours. It can accommodate a mixed group of guests, including family and close friends, and is the safest option to please everyone.

Apartments – Small Gatherings. Before you call it a day, have the final drinks at an apartment venue. Invite your closest friends, but ensure everyone knows the noise restrictions in residential areas. Choose a venue that lets you bring your own alcohol and accommodates overnight stays.

Rooftop Lounges – Private Gatherings. Your entire guest list will attend after hearing that the after-party is taking place at a rooftop lounge. It's a plus if the venue has live music and serves cocktails.

Top Features to Look for in an After Party Venue

You are up for an evening you'll never forget after saying "I do," accepting an honorary award, or receiving your graduation certificate. You'll have to make many decisions, like renting the venue early on the date you need it or only renting the room for a few hours.

Can the venue host your event? Wedding after-party venues vary. A resort is suitable for a spa vacation, while a nightclub can host a drinking or dancing event. Depending on its location in the city and the venue's rules, a private house can be the backdrop for an epic party.

Does the party venue have the facilities you need? It would help to have a bar area with seating and facilities for your after-party. Since most post-ceremony events revolve around guests busting moves, a dance floor is a must. Other useful amenities include lighting and audio/visual equipment.

How is the security situation? Most wedding after-parties begin late at night and continue into the early morning. Security guards keep the peace and manage crowds to keep you and your visitors safe.

After Party Venue Checklist

Whether it's your wedding day, a classy cocktail reception, or any other type of party, use this checklist to organize an after party your guests will love.

Connect with Professional Planners – If your budget allows, start by searching for experienced event and party planners in your area. They can help you choose a venue, book catering, organize entertainment, and more, saving you plenty of time and stress in the planning process. But if you can't afford it, you can complete the following steps yourself.

Choose a Theme/Experience – Develop a clear idea of what you want your guests to experience and enjoy at your after party. Will it be a sophisticated affair or something a whole lot more casual? Is there a theme? What about a dress code? Get this sorted now before moving on to the next steps.

Find a Venue – Now it's time to look for wedding reception or party venues near you. The right venue for a wedding after-party might be very different from the ideal venue for a graduation after-party, so consider your event needs carefully.

Book Catering – Your guests are going to want to tuck into some late-night snacks, so check out the best catering services near you. Look for a menu that suits your taste buds and budget and a caterer who will work with you to customize a menu for your needs.

Sort the Entertainment – Will you want a live band to play some classic tunes? A DJ pumping sick beats? A comedian? Circus performers? Shop around to see what you can find.

Provide Transportation – How will your guests get to your event? Will you need to provide transportation, such as a party bus, to get them from the reception to the after party venue? How will you ensure that they get home safely at the end of the night?

Extras – Lastly consider whether you need any extra equipment to get the space just right. Should you hire a dance floor for an outdoor after-party or additional lighting to create an intimate mood? You could probably use extra lounge seating to keep your guests comfy and relaxed.

After Party Expenses to Plan For

You'll spend a lot on the main event and can't afford to splurge on the after party. That's okay; use these ideas to organize a budget-friendly yet legendary celebration.

Invite a few guests.

Fewer people invited means lower expenses. As hard as it may be, you should trim your guest list unless they're willing to contribute, be it on food and drinks, decor, or venue rental.

Create a budget.

Set a budget and stick to it to avoid spending more than necessary. An after-party usually won't cost you much. The location is the most expensive item, followed by transportation and drinks, so allocate your budget wisely.

Skip the decoration.

Most party locations are already furnished and ready; you only have to add unique accents to fit your theme or preferences. You could still forego it entirely or use what's available to breathe life into the venue.
