• Charity Auctions – Good Food for a Cause. Host a charity auction for a fabulous cause and rent the entire restaurant if there isn't a private room with a big enough capacity. People will love sampling delectable cuisine, enjoying cocktails at the bar, and checking out the merchandise up for auction.

• Corporate Luncheons – Work and Dine. What better way to encourage productivity than getting out of the stuffy office and heading to a fresh, trendy restaurant for a working lunch? Gather your team and enjoy a delicious meal while letting your creative juices flow!

Top Features to Look for in a Minneapolis Private Dining Room

When planning your next event, make a list of must-have features and another wish list of amenities you would like but can live without. Then open the Giggster app and scroll through our amazing private dining room listings in Minneapolis.

Is it a social affair or a business meeting? Social events do have a different set of standards than business meetings. Generally, a social affair will offer drinks from the bar. A business meeting is all about getting things done and closing the deal. A more trendy, louder restaurant is great for a social event, but a quieter space is desired for business luncheons.

How big of a space do you need? Check the maximum capacity of the spaces you're looking to rent and make sure your guest list is not going to exceed it. Most restaurants can accommodate smaller groups, but larger parties may have to check the availability of larger eateries.

What vibe are you going for? Are you looking for an elegant atmosphere or a more down-to-earth vibe? Find the right restaurant with the atmosphere you need for your function. Burgers and fries might do well for a farewell party but not so much at a charity gala.

Pros and Cons of Events at Minneapolis Private Dining Locations

There are plenty of pros and cons to renting a private dining room in Minneapolis. Before deciding on the locale of your next event, carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages of hosting a party in a private room.

Advantages

• You don't have to clean your house or have people traipsing through your kitchen! Groups can be messy, and it's stressful trying to make sure your home is up to snuff.

• Guests can't complain about your cooking. Granted, you're probably still in charge of picking the menu choices for your event, but you're not the one manning the stove! The stress of getting the dishes perfect is taken off your shoulders.

• No clean-up after guests go home! This is probably the biggest advantage of hosting an event in a restaurant's private room. Once the last guest heads for home, your obligations are complete, and the staff is left on clean-up duty. Just remember to leave a generous gratuity for the staff.

Disadvantages

• There are fewer personal touches to the event when hosted at a restaurant. The restaurant already has its decor set, and while you may be able to bring in some decorations and party favors, guests will miss your creative style.

• Parking can be a nightmare in Minneapolis. Choose an establishment that has a dedicated parking lot or offers valet service to keep guests from having to search for parking.

• Many restaurants do have food and beverage minimums; if you're hosting an intimate dinner with a handful of guests, you may have to pay extra to meet the minimums.

Planning Your Private Dining Event

The stress of planning any event can be overwhelming, especially if you're not used to hosting a party. Don't worry; we're here to offer a few tips and tricks to get the ball rolling for you.

Set the Budget – No matter how low-key or high-end you plan, set a reasonable budget and stick to it. You may want the Hennepin Salon or Nicollet Island Inn, but your budget may not handle the expense. Check out several spaces that rival these on Giggster and stay on budget.

Plan the Menu – While you may enjoy burgers and brats, your colleagues will be expecting more at a corporate event. Pick a menu that goes with your party theme but also has plenty of options for those with dietary restrictions.

Set the Guest List – Whether hosting a small gathering with close friends or a product launch, the guest list is important. Leaving off a potential client or a rising star in your firm can be a big faux pas.

Set up the Room – The staff will already have tables and chairs set for you, but if you're bringing in other decorations or equipment, you'll want to make sure the staff is aware, and you can access the room early.

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

Saving money is always a good thing, especially when you're on a budget! Here are a few great tips to keep money in the bank.

Are you flexible on your date and time?

Certain times and days are at a premium and can cost more. Choose a day and time not during the establishment's rush or busy days to get a slight discount.

Find a cheaper neighborhood or restaurant.

The Twin Cities are brimming with eateries. Finding a few hidden gems in a less popular neighborhood can keep your costs down. Guests will be delighted to try somewhere new.

Choose a limited menu.

Limit menu choices for your guests and do not offer expensive dishes. A solid menu filled with delectable options will impress everyone without breaking the bank.
