Have some questions about the pros/cons of LA nightlife? Here’s a quick run-through of details you’ll want to consider before booking a club event venue:
Advantages
Celebrity sightings aren’t that out of the ordinary so keep your eyes peeled. You might find yourself boasting about that night you met a famous DJ or reality TV star for years to come.
The nightlife scene in LA is generally pretty safe for LGBTQ+ partygoers and there are tons of venues that are catered to the queer community.
Believe it or not, nightlife in Los Angeles comes with a long history of iconic moments and breakthrough career performances. The “Old Hollywood” vibe is still present to this day in many exclusive club venues.
Disadvantages
Clubbing in Los Angeles is not cheap. Surge pricing on ride fares, cover fees, cocktails, and dress-code-appropriate attire will certainly put a dent in your entertainment budget.
Transportation is a bit of a nightmare, especially at peak clubbing hours. You’ll need to rely solely on taxis or ridesharing apps to get around and even that will take longer than you’d typically expect.
Once you’ve created an account, it’s time to sit down and browse the Giggster app for an epic party location. There’s certainly plenty to choose from, so you’re guaranteed to walk away with an event space that’s certifiably insane, down to every last detail.
Bar Sets – Easy Party Productions. Are you renting a club for a video shoot? If so, why not choose a venue that’s optimized for the screen? These club and bar sets come with hair and makeup areas, professional lighting, and of course, fully stocked bars. There’s no need to craft a set from scratch, but it alleviates some of the rigidity of working with an operational club venue.
High Tech Nightclubs – Dance the Night Away. Renting out one of LA's hottest venues is anything but a traditional nightclub experience. Imagine having the DJ booth, bottle service, velvet ropes, and red carpets all to yourself (and 200 of your closest friends). Plus, you don't have to think about catering anymore because the club will already have its own menu for you.
Speakeasies – The Old Hollywood Experience. Mix up your wild night out with a bit of whimsy and host a party at a low-lit lounge hidden underground and behind secret doors. With curtained booth seating, live music sets, chandeliers, and a private mixologist, the vibes around here are unmatched.
Iconic Music Venues – An Intimate Party Scene. Celebrate Hollywood's up-and-coming artists with a private concert! A hip rendezvous at these exclusive rock and roll legends beats a crowded club any day.
The bigger the party the bigger the responsibility. But don’t worry, hosting a private club experience can be fairly close to stress-free if you integrate some of these pro planning tips:
Make Guest Safety a Priority – Ensure proper security measures are in place (do you need to hire bouncers?), bartenders are properly certified to serve alcohol, and you have taxi/rideshare information handy so everyone has a safe ride home. You may even want to hire a party bus to get everyone to and from the venue to enhance the guest experience and avoid liability issues.
Decide on a Dress Code – It may sound overbearing, but dress codes are nothing new in the nightclub scene. Should you throw an all-out occasion with heels and hosiery? A themed party that throws you back to your college days? A glow-in-the-dark rave? The choice is all yours—just ensure you give everyone enough time to go shopping.
Hire a Photographer – Some of the best nightclubs have roaming pros with cameras who document you having a blast. This can be a money-making endeavor or an opportunity to send your guests home with a fun favor, but in this social media era, party photography is a must.
Boujee nights out don’t come cheap these days. Thankfully, pairing some of these expert budgeting tips with an affordable club space from the Giggster app can help you party like there’s paparazzi waiting outside, without spending your last dollar:
Choose a venue that includes AV equipment so you don’t need to outsource.
Lights and music are such a big part of the clubbing experience and skimping here is not an option. Choosing a venue that already has top-of-the-line equipment for your use, however, is a great way to wrap two costs into one.
Factor tips and gratuities into the first version of your budget.
Servers, bartenders, performers, vendors…this is a service-based industry and tips will be expected. Especially for such a large-scale event, you need to ensure everyone is fairly compensated for their efforts and these costs can creep up if you’re not careful. Calculate these ahead of time and build them into your budget to avoid costly surprises. Some venues may have mandatory gratuity amounts too, so be sure to reference your contracts.
Charge a cover.
Working with a venue that holds hundreds? Hosting massive parties is hard work and almost no one expects to roll up to a Los Angeles club for free. Charging a cover is well within your rights and as long as this isn’t an intimate affair for your closest friends and family, it isn’t tacky either.
From megaclubs that hold hundreds to hotel rooftops designed for elite members, nightlife events with the Giggster app in your back pocket are guaranteed to be a wild ride. Get ready to bring down the house in Downtown Los Angeles and book your dream venue today.
