Whether you’re a lifetime local or your party in Australia is a destination affair, a little preparation can go a long way. Here are some things you need to know about Adelaide that could impact your event (both positively and negatively):
Advantages
Adelaide is rated as one of the most affordable cities in the country—you can expect some of these savings to trickle down to party services and vendors too!
Nestled between a wine region and the ocean, this urban paradise offers a little bit of everything.
While still maintaining rosy, warm temperatures, Adelaide sees significantly less humidity and rainfall.
Disadvantages
The city is sprawling, making getting around a bit more challenging.
Nightlife is fairly limited when compared to other major cities like Sydney.
Public transportation systems could use some improvement, especially when it comes to the frequency of trips around the city.
The key to a memorable event is the perfect venue. Here are some of the most popular venue types in the city that are guaranteed to bring your private celebrations to the next level.
Bars – Birthday Parties Made Better For your next nighttime affair, explore our selection of speakeasy-style underground bars, friendly neighborhood pubs, and everything in between. You might even be able to get your hands on a rooftop bar! Bring in a DJ for drinks and dancing and you’re all set for a party-all-night reception, networking event, or bachelor/bachelorette party.
Ballrooms – Modern Elegance on Your Special Day. When it comes to accommodating larger crowds, function rooms are an obvious choice. Wedding and corporate events benefit from their chic and contemporary design, and the ability to dress them up or down to suit a variety of formality levels. As industry vets, they offer a lot of event must-haves like top-of-the-line audio-visual equipment, table/chair hires, and in-house alcohol and catering.
Cafes – Charming Meeting Venues. Morning/brunch events, showers, and business workshops all love a casual gathering at a centrally located cafe. Your barista will greet all your guests with a boost from the espresso bar alongside some light fare from the bakery, while you mix and mingle in a bright and airy lounge.
Industrial Warehouses – Private functions with Personality. Need a venue with all the space and versatility of a standard banquet hall but with a bit more spunk? A warm and inviting loft of exposed brick, iron beams, and Edison lighting is exactly what you’ve been looking for. With a blend of contemporary and historic elements at every turn, these spaces are fairly low maintenance and don’t require a ton of “dressing up”.
Ready to start planning? Here are some fun ways to get the ball rolling, while keeping stress at bay:
Curate Your Guest List Carefully – Who you invite will impact the overall vibe of your party. Consider how people from your various social circles have interacted at other social gatherings in the past and work to create an assortment of people who will not only get along but contribute to a lively, fun atmosphere.
Settle on Decor – Whether your venue is a bit of a blank canvas or almost completely decorated from head to toe, you’ll still want to add a few personal touches. Gather some inspiration online and begin hunting for your decor early so you don’t have to settle for second-best options at the last minute.
Book Early to Avoid Disappointment – The best event venues in Adelaide have limited availability during peak seasons, and that goes for other vendors too like photographers, planners, and bakers. Be sure you hire your top choices right away and snag a spot in their books before they fill up!
Explore Your Catering Options – Will you be going the DIY way? Does your venue include food? Will you need to bring in an outside vendor? Whatever you choose, remember that you will need to consider alcohol service (if any) under this umbrella, too.
If the cost of throwing your next event has your mind swimming, don’t panic. These tips, paired with one of our budget-friendly function venues, will help you host memorable social gatherings for less:
Skip the social media inspo sesh.
Unfortunately, social media can create a whole lot of pressure around throwing the biggest, best parties with lavish swag bags, floral installations, multi-tiered cakes, and top-shelf alcohol. While it can be great to peruse your feed for a fun theme, try not to get caught up in the competition over every little detail. Remember, it’s only a highlight reel (and often it’s fake!)
Use a party budget app.
Keep budgeting simple by eliminating crazy Excel spreadsheets and hand-adding costs. Download a spending tracker app and you can simply set your spending goal and log deposits as you make them. Some even scan receipts so you can add purchases without doing all the work!
Choose the right time.
By planning your party for mid-morning, mid-afternoon, or late evening, you can avoid serving a full meal, which will help cut down on food costs. Simply arrange for some finger foods or snacks in bowls. You can even do this yourself and skip the catering service altogether.
Let’s get your venue hire out of the way! From engagement parties at trendy cocktail bars to corporate events in private dining rooms, the Giggster app is the ultimate place to venue shop for your indoor and outdoor events across Adelaide.
