• Birthday Celebrations – A Night of Cake and Fun Times. Instead of going out for your birthday meal at a public restaurant, why not enjoy complete privacy with your guests at a venue of your own? It'll feel much more special to rent your own space than have to share semi private spaces with strangers.

• Awards Banquets – A Chance to Show Appreciation. You could be handing out awards for your employees, sports team, or students, but your awards banquet should make them feel special.

Essentials for a Private Dining Room in Melbourne

Private rooms are versatile, which is why they're used for such a wide range of events. Make sure your chosen venue is perfect for what you're planning before you complete the booking.

Does the location suit the event? If you're planning a sophisticated and professional sit down lunch with important clients, you probably don't want to choose a venue with a party atmosphere. Instead, choose a location that's decorated with contemporary art and natural lighting so you can focus on your guests.

Your guests should all fit comfortably. When shopping for a venue for larger functions, you need to choose a space that guarantees everyone can fit. Make a count of how many seats there are, too, so all your guests can have a spot at the table.

Can the venue accommodate entertainment? Live entertainment, such as a performer, comedian, live show, or band, can add a special flair to your event. If hiring entertainment is on your to-do list, make sure the venue has somewhere for them to perform.

Things to Consider for Renting a Private Dining Room in Melbourne

There aren't many events that the private dining rooms in Melbourne can't host. These spaces are perfect for many celebrations, but that doesn't mean they don't have their disadvantages.

Advantages

• Having your own venue is much better than sharing a semi private space. Aside from having more control over how your venue looks, you can also enjoy complete privacy without interruptions from strangers.

• Melbourne is home to the world's biggest urban tram network, which makes it pretty easy to get around. You can choose a location almost anywhere in the city, knowing that there's probably a tram stop just next door.

• Planning a gathering outside of the office is always a nice change of pace. You're bound to have a productive and enjoyable night when you book a spacious, clean, and welcoming Melbourne venue.

Disadvantages

• Renting a space from a host means following their rules. Check in with them before rearranging or decorating the space, and respect the time slot that you booked for.

• Having your own event space lets you be creative, but it also requires work. Be prepared to put time, money, and effort into making your event awesome.

• Did you know that Melbourne is Australia's second most expensive city, after Sydney? There's a higher minimum spend for planning events here compared to many other cities, so plan your budget accordingly.

Planning Your Private Dining Room Event in Melbourne

Finding a venue is just part of the job. Here are a few more things you need to do when planning your event.

Make a Custom Menu – Are you serving Italian fine dining with a wine bar, or a menu filled with Melbourne specials? This city has fantastic Chinese, seafood, comfort food, and Japanese restaurants, so you'll have many great options.

Buy and Set Up Decor – Decorating your chosen venue will make it look great and can also help your guests find the party. If you've booked a corner room, add signs directing your guests where to go, and consider decorating your space based on a theme.

Invite Guests – It won't be a very exciting party without guests. Are you inviting coworkers, close relatives, or your best friends? If you're hosting a public event make sure you do plenty of advertising to spread the word around.

How to Save Money on a Private Dining Room Rental in Melbourne

Now that you know everything that's involved with creating an event, you can probably see how it can get expensive. Try these tips for saving money.

Choose a restricted menu.

If you're organizing a big event, chances are you're hiring a caterer. Ask them about their budget friendly menu options and work together to figure out what dishes you want to serve.

Go for background music instead of a band.

Maybe you just don't have the funds to hire live entertainment. Rent speakers or use the private dining room's audio system and play some nice background music instead.

Add minimal decor.

Decorating your venue makes it personal and can help the location suit the event. If you don't have enough spending money left in your budget, try adding minimal or DIY decorations.
