Frequently Asked Questions about Small Party venues

Have a question about Small Party venues?
  • How much does it cost to rent a small party venue?
    Venue features, rental periods, location, amenities, and size all affect the overall rental price. For a small party venue, you may need to prepare a budget between $100 and $300 an hour. Unique venues, such as outdoor areas, community gardens, and converted spaces, may have better rates. Always double-check their offerings because some locations may provide packages with a range of services at an affordable fee.
  • What sizes are available for small party venues?
    If you’re expecting up to 100 people, party spaces spanning 500 square feet to 2,500 square feet are good options. For medium-sized to large events, you might have to explore social halls or rooms with at least 2,500 square feet of space so there’s enough room for socializing without feeling packed.
  • Are catering services available at small party venues?
    Many small party locations either have preferred vendors they collaborate with or provide their own catering services. Often, venues have packages with food items suitable for various budgets and tastes. Ask the venue about catering flexibility if you have a specific cuisine in mind or dietary requirements. They might even let you hire outside caterers for additional flexibility in the menu choice.
  • What travel logistics should I consider for my small party venue?
    Consider how easily your guests could access the venue and get to the location. Does it lie close to public transit? Does it provide valet or parking functions? Pay attention to the area's walkability to surrounding attractions or lodging, especially if you have guests from out of town. Providing clear directions and available transportation options can go a long way to reducing stress and guaranteeing a good experience for every guest at your event.
  • Can I decorate my small party venue?
    Most venues let you customize the space to align with your concept and vision. Still, it’s important to check the limitations they set in terms of decorating or changing the room’s layout. Small details can create a huge visual impact and enhance the ambiance, like table centerpieces, lighting, and banners. No matter what embellishment you prefer, make sure any decorations do not damage the venue and follow its policies.

Location was perfect! Host was so helpful as well…. Only negative thing I would have to say is that we rented the backyard and it was pretty dusty not dirty just could have used a little dusting off (seating areas). Other than that everything else was great!

Alice was great! Very responsive and proactively asked me the number of chairs and tables i needed beforehand. The place was nice and spacious. It was good to have the entire place to ourselves.

Daniela and her Plant Paradise Loft provided a fantastic NYE experience for our group. The PPL is particularly perfect for a small party (30 folks would fit comfortably), a casual movie screening, an open mic night or pretty much any event that isn't specifically food and drink-focused. We cannot thank Daniela enough for all of her help and would recommend her venue to pretty much anybody. The loft is impeccably decorated, and Daniela's entertainment setup is perfect for hosting a proper party. The kitchen has plenty of counter space for staging food and drinks, along with pretty much every extant cooking instrument. The programmable lighting and sound mixer elevated the event dramatically - we flipped the lights to magenta at midnight, and that tonal shift was the perfect catalyst for dancing to start. Daniela herself was extremely helpful and responsive (also clearly just good people). Our walkthrough of the PPL on event day was comprehensive and made it easy to set up quickly on arrival. We had a couple quick questions that came up during the party and Daniela responded quickly to both. In these and myriad other ways, Daniela made every effort to accommodate us and make sure our NYE was a great one.

A small celebration gives you the perfect chance to enjoy an intimate connection with your guests and spend some special time with each of them. So, regardless of whether you're planning a birthday party, engagement party, corporate party, or special event, keeping your guest list short can help turn it into a memorable experience.

And if you want to find small party venues for an upcoming event, rest assured that you're in the right place. With Giggster's selection of numerous small party venues, it's a breeze to find the ideal event venue for your celebration. You can quickly compare spaces online or via our app, and our range of venues includes something for every occasion and theme.

So regardless of whether you're searching for an underground club, a rooftop lounge, or anything in between, here's how to find your perfect event space and plan a successful party.

Small Party Venues Curated by Giggster

When you've got a special occasion worth celebrating, a small party fits the bill with ease. And with the user-friendly Giggster app at your fingertips, your perfect venue is just a tap away. Rather than banquet halls and other party venues that are grand in scale, these are some of the settings that provide the right setting for small gatherings.

  • With large windows letting in an abundance of light, high ceilings, and timber floors, a NY-style loft is as warm and welcoming as event venues get—the perfect space for a cocktail party, corporate meet-and-greet, or small get-together with your closest friends.
  • Giggster's collection of wonderfully unique spaces includes underground speakeasy bars that ooze old-world charm. Immerse yourself in one of these birthday party venues and you'll find the privacy and seclusion you need for a memorable occasion.
  • Restaurant dining rooms offer the ideal setting for quiet drinks and a delicious meal with a few friends, or a networking meeting when important business clients visit from interstate. They provide an exclusive atmosphere, an intimate setting, and a treat for your taste buds too.
  • Featuring concrete floors, exposed beams, and large windows, an industrial-style warehouse space is equally suited to a distinctive photo shoot as it is to a small gathering. Even weddings wouldn't look out of place in these unique spaces, so add them to your list of small party venues that are well worth checking out.

The Best Type of Venue for Your Small Party

A banquet hall may not be the ideal setting for a small party, but there are plenty of other event spaces that tick all the boxes. These are just some of the options you can find among the Giggster app's selection of 10000 wonderful event venues for private events, rehearsal dinners, birthday parties, and much more.

Lofts – Airy Ambiance. A loft is suitable for anything from a cocktail party to a wedding venue. It's a fantastically versatile event space that can be customized to suit the ambiance you want for a small party, and it offers a bright and airy setting for your special event.

Cafes – Quaint and Cozy. A cozy and inviting cafe is the perfect venue for a birthday party, relaxed engagement party, or a variety of other private events. It's the ideal setting to chat, enjoy a sweet treat and a hot drink, and enjoy the smell of coffee wafting through the air.

Private Dining Rooms – Exclusively Yours. A private dining room is an excellent small event venue for a number of reasons. It's private (as the name suggests), allows you to celebrate away from prying eyes, and gives you the perfect opportunity to enjoy good conversation with your guests—not to mention the chance to enjoy a delicious meal.

Art Galleries – Creative Inspiration. An art gallery offers a warm and welcoming setting for your next event. With colorful artworks lining the walls and acting as conversation starters, these inviting spaces are great when you need to host special events that require an intimate atmosphere.

Poolside Patios – Summer Celebrations. For a small celebration with a difference, why not host a pool party in the summer sun? You can sip cocktails by the water's edge, hit the water for some fun and games, or maybe just soak up the ambiance of a cool summertime celebration.

What do the best small party venues have to offer? What does your ideal event venue look like? Keep the following features in mind when searching for a space.

Small Party Expenses to Plan For
