Pasadena Restaurant Location Must-Haves

When browsing our listings of private dining spaces in Pasadena, it helps to know which features top your list. Create a checklist of must-haves using these ideas as a guideline.

Is there a minimum spend amount? When you pay a certain amount to reserve an entire restaurant, it is closed exclusively for your wine tasting, rehearsal dinner, or birthday. Food and beverages are usually included in a full buyout; however, the rental cost may increase if you want to reserve the space during a busy period.

Which private rooms suit your event? Dining spaces are as distinctive as private events; a restaurant delivering a private dining experience suits a formal event, while a family-style location suits a more laid-back celebration.

Can the chef prepare a custom menu for your event? Booking a private room means you want an exclusive and unique dining experience; it helps if the venue can enhance it with a chef's table or chef-customized menu.

Things to Consider for Renting a Restaurant in Pasadena

Advantages

• Pasadena offers some of the top restaurants in Southern California, and their delicious food will inspire your private dining menu. You can also hire a private chef to deliver an exclusive dining experience.

• Pasadena experiences Southern California weather nearly all year long. You will have a great time if you choose an indoor or outdoor private dining room.

• The city's picturesque neighborhoods and proximity to the San Gabriel Mountains give you enough reasons to explore outdoor private rooms. Even better, the beach is nearby and provides ideal settings for a lovely outdoor dinner.

Disadvantages

• When there is a major event in Pasadena, traffic becomes extremely congested. The Rose Bowl activities, in particular, are frequently the cause, and you should avoid organizing a dinner that requires considerable travel time or choose an easy-to-reach venue.

• The cost of living in Pasadena is high; you'll notice it through income, sales taxes, and housing costs. The same applies to hotel accommodation, which is worth considering if you have out-of-town guests.

• Pasadena's air quality can be terrible at times. It can be offensive to outdoor diners, so avoiding scheduling an outdoor event in areas with such issues is best.

Selecting the right private dining space, creating a perfect menu, and your creativity will help you plan a memorable dining event. Giggster takes care of the first part, with hundreds of private rooms listed on our site, and that leaves you with putting together a memorable dinner party.

Contact the Property Owner – Visit the venue to ensure the capacity, amenities, and services suit your dining function. Seeing the place in person can also give you decorating ideas. Most dining rooms are pre-decorated but have room for personalized accents.

Work with Professionals – Unless the event is a simple get-together with friends or after-work cocktails, work with a party planning team. You can choose between day-of coordination and full-service planning, depending on how much help you require. They'll handle the heavy lifting, leaving you to enjoy every moment.

Personalize the Menu – Have a chef create a custom menu with the best food and wine pairings. Plan a chef's table experience so guests can watch the expert in action or schedule a cooking or cocktail-making class as part of the experience.

Deliver an Excellent Experience – Besides serving an outstanding menu, you should aim to provide exceptional service. Hire a mixologist to run the bar and entertain guests as they mix drinks.

Saving Money on a Restaurant Event in Pasadena

It does not have to be expensive to organize an outstanding private dining experience. Giggster helps you rent a private room for $120/hour, allowing you to stay on budget.

Create a reasonable budget.

To avoid going over your budget, consider all costs associated with hiring the venue, serving food and drinks, decorating, and paying vendors. The venue, drinks, and food are the most expensive; pick a reasonably priced dining space.

Can you invite fewer people?

Reducing your guest list is the most effective way to save money. In most cases, only inviting relatives and friends is quite acceptable. For corporate affairs, invite those you feel will get the most out of the work/networking session.

Schedule your dinner at the best time.
