Hosting a cocktail party means ensuring your guests are comfortable and having a good time. How would you like a few tips on the location must-haves to host a beautiful cocktail? These tips apply to personal events and corporate meetings.
Is the bar conveniently located? Let's not forget that the whole purpose of a cocktail party is to serve up delicious drinks! Ensure your bar is easily accessible to guests so they can get a refill whenever they need one.
Is there enough room to mingle? Cocktail parties are not sit-down events. People enjoy moving around, chatting, and mingling. When you're finalizing the location, check the seated and standing capacities.
Have you checked the lighting? You don't want stark white lighting for your cocktail get-together. Instead, make a note to recheck the mood lighting—warm lights, fairy lights, and any other needed to create the right ambiance.
Find the perfect location for your cocktail party from among the 10000 listings available on the Giggster app. However, like any event space, you should check whether it's the right one for your requirements.
Advantages
On the Giggster app, you'll find plenty of unique venues for cocktail party celebrations. You can even hold your pre-wedding photo shoots with a backdrop of stunning views.
Most cocktail party venues offer comfortable seating, a good quality sound system, and a ground plus first floor for larger venues.

Disadvantages
Your chosen unique venue may have a minimum requirement booking amount, which could be problematic if you're planning an intimate event.
The cocktail venue should be a great space for dancing with friends and family, but not all venues may offer a fully functional dance floor with lighting.
Some locations could have strict time restrictions, which could dampen your plans for the evening and after-party.
Giggster can help you with cocktail party listings for intimate and large event spaces. You can easily find a hidden gem among our 10000 properties and make it your own with a bit of organizing.
Rent The Perfect Venue – Renting the correct party space will help elevate your occasion. When you're shortlisting, consider a built-in bar for cocktail hour, natural light for classy photos, and function rooms that your guests can use to freshen up or change.
Finalize The Time and Date – Whether you're planning intimate weddings, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, or business meetings, finalizing the time and date is necessary to send out invitations well in advance. You'll also be able to save money on the food for cocktail parties since they're mostly evening events that wind up by 8 pm, saving you the cost of a full sit-down meal.
Curate The Drinks Menu – No cocktail party is complete without the drinks. For cocktail hours, plan four or five delicious cocktails and mocktails to enjoy with finger foods. Don't forget to include wine—red, white, and rose.
Plan the Entertainment – Whether you're planning a DJ, live music, or playing a list of songs from your phone, ensure you have the music and entertainment sorted weeks before the function. Since it's a celebration, keep the music lively and fun.
Cocktail parties, like those held during corporate events and wedding receptions, can become expensive quite fast. It's easy for the costs to spiral out of control without a few checks and balances. Don't make this mistake at your next cocktail party. We can help you with rental listings starting at $18 USD/hour while you save on the expenses.
Can you opt for an affordable venue?
Unique cocktail party venues are usually quite costly to rent. To secure a spot like A Bodega with a lounge for your private event, you'll have to book the place quite early. Opting for something at a convenient location with a dining room and cocktail tables can be useful when curbing costs. On the Giggster app, you'll find plenty of popular cocktail party venues that are within affordable range.
Do you need multiple photographers and videographers?
For intimately hosted private events, one photographer is usually enough. If you're having a cocktail reception with many guests, you may want more than one photographer and videographer to cover the entire venue. However, hiring multiple people for the photo shoots and filming will drive the overall costs higher.
Can you reserve the cocktail party venue on a weekday?
Weekday bookings are cheaper than weekend bookings (which are more in demand). If you can host your next event on a weekday, you could save money, get a larger venue, invite more people, and even have an indoor and outdoor space.
Check out our listings for the best cocktail party venues. Book venues that are conveniently located and have a fabulous dance floor or intimate spaces for quiet conversation. From studios to outdoor garden locations, your perfect space is just a few clicks away.
