Planning a graduation party in Montreal? If you’re still not sure if Montreal is the right place, here are some things worth considering.
Advantages
Montreal remains one of the most affordable large cities in Canada and North America, with the cost of living well below similar cities. No matter the type of event you’re planning, in Montreal, you’ll get good bang for your buck.
Public transport in Montreal is among the best in the country, with very affordable prices and a comprehensive network of buses and metro stations. Your guests won’t have trouble getting around Montreal, even without a car!
You won’t have trouble finding any type of specialized equipment for your party. In Montreal, you can save money and find anything you need at local rental businesses.
Disadvantages
Winters in Montreal are bitterly cold, with temperatures often dipping below freezing. If you’re planning a party between December and March, you’ll need to go for an indoor venue.
Traffic in Montreal isn’t just bad; it was ranked among the 3 worst cities in Canada by a 2024 study. Even in the off-peak season, you’ll find traffic is still a real nightmare. Plan your party before or after rush hour to avoid the worst of it.
Montreal is one of the most visited cities in Canada, just behind Vancouver, and is a favorite for tourists. While this sounds good, it also translates into higher demand for venues. If you want to find affordable spaces, you’ll need to use a platform like Giggster.

Private Clubs – Luxurious. Host your graduation party at a sophisticated club just a short drive from Downtown Montreal. With room for hundreds of people, private clubs in Montreal typically offer full bartending services, lounge areas, and luxurious furniture and equipment like a pool table and grand pianos. Host the perfect wedding reception or graduation party in these luxurious spaces!
Restaurants – Foreign. If you don’t want to spend a lot of time planning your graduation party and would rather go for a simple dinner, go for an exotic restaurant with a stunning glass front with a view of one of the most iconic streets in Montreal and conveniently close to the city center. Ask about the catering options and craft the perfect menu!
Studios – Multipurpose. Repurpose an eclectic studio often used as an art gallery and make your graduation party an unforgettable event. Make the most of the open floor plans and lighting, and look for local rental businesses if you need additional equipment. Plan your party on a budget!
Party Houses – Rowdy. Step into the artsy Griffintown neighborhood and rent a huge house for your graduation party. Far enough away from other homes to avoid noise complaints and complete with an outdoor dining area protected from the elements, private party houses are the perfect spaces to let your creativity loose. Turn your special occasions into a family reunion and celebrate in style!
If you’re planning your first big event or you already have some experience under your belt, here are some key things you should always consider when planning a party.
Determine the Budget – Oftentimes, the biggest obstacle to planning a graduation party is deciding on a budget, especially if you’re teaming up with your friends or classmates to divide the expenses. Figure out how much each of you can spend and find common ground before you start looking at venues.
Choose the Venue – After deciding on a budget, it’s time to start looking at venues. Since there’s always so much demand for graduation parties, it's usually a good idea to get multiple quotes. With Giggster, you’ll always get the best deals from the best go, plus you can get in touch and negotiate with the owners directly from the app.
Define the Menu – On a graduation party, finger foods and canapes are more than enough to take care of the food. Just make sure there are options to match all dietary restrictions, and you should be fine.
Set Up Your Party Space – If you’re not planning your party at a dedicated event venue, you’ll probably need to do some groundwork to set everything up. Take your time setting the tables and double-check that all the sound systems, lighting rigs, and any other equipment are working as they should.
You’ve talked it over with your friends and decided on a budget, but you’re still hoping to fit some extras; here’s how to get the most bang for your buck.
Book the venue as soon as possible.
If you’ve found the perfect venue for your graduation, don’t delay. One of the easiest ways to save money on your graduation is to book the venue 2-3 months in advance before demand drives prices even higher. In Canada, graduation parties are either in June or April, so there’s no excuse. You know exactly when you’ll need the venue!
Rent the equipment you need.
You shouldn’t be buying brand-new equipment for any kind of party, and that includes graduation parties, especially in a city like Montreal, where you can easily find everything you need from local rental businesses for a fraction of the cost.
Consider a more select menu.
You don’t need to offer dozens of different dishes and an open bar to make your party memorable. Instead, decide with your classmates on a few select drinks and finger foods to keep costs down. Ask if the venue has an in-house catering menu; you can often snag some amazing deals!
With Giggster, you can browse the most amazing venues Montreal has to offer straight from your mobile device. From themed restaurants and luxurious clubs to colourful party houses in the most vibrant neighborhoods, you're sure to find the perfect place where you can celebrate this milestone!
