Disadvantages
Demand for venues in Brooklyn is always high, no matter the time of the year. If you want to get the best deals, you’ll need to book your venue in advance with a platform like Giggster.
While it’s true Brooklyn isn’t the borough with the highest cost of living, it’s still well above the national average. Expenses can quickly spiral out of control, so ensure a clear budget from the beginning.
No matter the borough in New York you choose, Brooklyn is no quieter than any other. Expect background noises at all times of the day unless you choose a soundproof venue.
You’ve chosen Brooklyn as the perfect location for your engagement party, and you’ve started working on your budget. Download the Giggster app and start browsing all the options, including the following types of venues:
Bars – Rustic & Classy. Choose between a rustic corner bar with a stunning sound system that is conveniently close to Downtown Brooklyn if you’re looking for a rowdy atmosphere, or go for a classically styled upscale bar, complete with a private lounge and fully equipped kitchen, for a more intimate celebration. Perfect for cocktail parties as well!
Rooftop Venues – Modern. If you’re looking for a unique space for your engagement party, a rooftop venue is sure to make an impression. With both an indoor and outdoor space, it's comfortable and sophisticated at the same time.
Retro Houses – Bohemian Highlights. Book a modernized, retro house in Williamsburg and make your engagement party a timeless event. With exposed brick walls finished with wooden accents, a distinct Bohemian color palette, and a fresh outdoor patio area shaded by a canopy of trees, this venue will make for unforgettable birthday parties and private events!
French Bistros – Cozy Space. If you prefer a more sophisticated event, book a luxurious bistro in the artsy neighborhood of Bushwick. It has a gorgeous long wooden bar, tiled floors, wood-paneled ceilings, and beautiful chandeliers, complete with a cozy banquette along one side of the tables and comfortable wooden chairs on the other. Browse the extensive in-house catering menu, hire a local chef, and make the most of the modern kitchen and dining room!
Planning your first private party? If you're not sure where to begin but are keen to get started, here's how.
Determine the Budget – The first step is to determine how much you can spend. Knowing how much you can spend will make everything easier.
Decide on a Theme – A good party theme can set the atmosphere for the evening and make your event more memorable. Have a clear idea of what you’re celebrating and the things you can do to enhance the ambiance. From relevant decorations to themed refreshments, there’s always something you can do!
Choose Your Venue – By far, the most enjoyable part of planning a party is choosing the venue. From the Giggster app, you can browse all the venues available and read detailed information about the location, unique features, and pricing. You won’t lack party spaces in Denver!
Set Up Your Space – Finally, it’s time to set up your party space. If the venue offers in-house catering you can browse their menu; alternatively, look at local restaurants to cater for your event. Hire a local band or DJ to liven up the atmosphere, and before you know it, you’ll be planning your next event!
Juggling all the expenses and ensuring you stay within your budget can be very hard, especially if you don’t have much experience. Here’s how to make the most of your budget.
Consider a smaller menu.
Most weddings in the US allocate 30% of their budget to catering alone. While engagement parties are nowhere near as expensive, catering can still account for a significant portion of your budget. Consider a smaller menu and two or three signature drinks instead of an open bar to minimize this.
Do you have flexibility with the date?
The most straightforward way to save money on a spectacular event space in New York, no matter the borough, is to plan it for the offseason. Low season in Brooklyn begins in the colder season, starting in January and lasting until March when temperatures start rising again. This is when you’ll find the hidden gem: the best deals on venues, hotels, and flights to New York and Brooklyn.
Reduce unnecessary expenses.
While it’s true professional event planners and decorators can take a weight off your shoulders, they can also be very expensive. An engagement party is the perfect space to get your hands dirty and get some experience under your belt for your upcoming wedding.
On Giggster, you can narrow down the most stunning engagement party venues—from warm bistros and rooftop venues with breathtaking views to the classic corner bar and chic event space in Downtown Brooklyn. No matter your budget and no matter your plan, Giggster’s got something for you!
