A night out on the town in New York City is a great experience, especially if you are partying in the hip bars and venues in the Flatiron District or Garment District. But you can bring the party vibe to your own home or, even better, choose from the many venues on Giggster. When doing so, consider the advantages and disadvantages of hosting a house party in New York.
Advantages
Private parties in New York City offer a more intimate atmosphere, allowing you to better connect with your guests.
Hosting a party in a private house in New York, as opposed to a restaurant or a banquet hall, is easier on the pocket.
When you host a home party, you can personalize the menu and the space and create a unique dining experience with personalized catering companies.
Disadvantages
House parties can get really loud, which might lead to noise complaints. Make sure to notify neighbors or find the perfect event space that's just far enough to avoid such incidents.
Small house parties are easier to handle when it comes to food and drink refills, even cleaning afterward. However, larger private events can be more demanding. Avoid the stress by hiring additional staff like servers, bartenders, and cleaners. You'll find plenty in NYC!
Small party venues may have a limited number of bathrooms, which can cause awkward bathroom lines. Book a private event space that can accommodate all your guests, and depending on the number of guests and venue space, consider one with more than three bathrooms.
Don't want to host the party in your own home? We have you covered. From the Lower East Side to Hell's Kitchen, Giggster has the perfect event space location among our 79 listings.
Private Homes - Intimate and Cozy. There's nothing like cozy homes to bring people together, whether it's historic mansions or modern loft apartments. From cocktail receptions to bar mitzvahs and birthday celebrations, private homes are some of the best venues for a home party in the Big Apple.
Versatile Event Spaces - Looking for an artistic loft space in Soho with enough natural light for your small celebration? Or a private room in downtown New York City that you can transform into anything you want? NYC has a ton of versatile event spaces that you can easily adapt to suit different needs and requirements.
Waterfront Estates - Romance Galore. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, a wedding, or an engagement, a house by the lake or a beach house with easy access to turquoise waters and white sand sets the right stage for romance.
Outdoor Space - A Sense of Fresh Air. In addition to your own backyard, you can utilize a rooftop terrace, a garden, or a backyard patio to host a memorable event. These event spaces are ideal for baby showers, birthdays, anniversaries, small weddings, and more.
Mountain Cabins - Secluded and Inviting. What better way to escape New York City's concrete jungle than to retreat to the mountains surrounded by close friends and family? Celebrate your birthday or small wedding in style, away from the city noise. Think cozy fireplace, jacuzzi, and stunning views, and most importantly, some peace and quiet.
A good party host has everything organized in advance. This checklist will keep you on the right track and ensure your party turns into an unforgettable event.

On Giggster, you'll find 79 popular event spaces in New York that can accommodate groups of any size.
Choose a Party Theme - Set the stage for a fun night with an exciting party theme like Las Vegas casino night, Hollywood Glam or Murder Mystery. When you have decided on the theme, you can easily plan invitations, decorations, and outfits to match it.
Plan Activities - Take your home party up a notch and engage guests with fun games and activities. For instance, if you rent a villa with a pool, organize pool activities, or plan a scavenger hunt if you are up in the mountains.
Serve a Feast - It's not a party without food, so make sure there's enough for everyone. If your budget allows, hire a professional catering company, servers and bartenders, so you don't have to worry about that aspect of the party.
When hosting a party you need to be prepared to spend some money and some more. Contrary to popular belief, you can save money when partying in NYC, especially if you're celebrating in a house.
