I booked this space for a karaoke party for about 20-30 people and it was perfect! Everyone loved and complimented the venue. It is not what you would expect based on the outside so we missed it at first, but the space was well maintained, cute, and the hosts were super kind and accommodating. I would book this space again!

Pros and Cons of Sweet 16 Venues in Philadelphia

While finding a great place in Philadelphia to celebrate with your friends and family won't be hard, first make sure that the city itself is a good fit for you.

Advantages

  • Philadelphia is only located a couple of hours' drive from Washington DC and NYC while still being cheaper. You can easily drive out to celebrate birthdays in Philadelphia.

  • Your guests can enjoy the unique architecture in the Old City and historic monuments like Independence Hall and Liberty Bell during their free time.

  • Excellent public transport systems mean you don't have to drive around and find places to park in downtown Philly.

Disadvantages

  • Philadelphia is an overcrowded, bustling city so you'll be battling crowds as you go about trying to plan the party.

  • If you're trying to get around by car, be prepared for terrible traffic.

  • Winters are cold and harsh and snowstorms are common. That might not be a good time to plan a party in Philadelphia.

Choosing the Right Type of Location for a Sweet 16 in Philadelphia

Finding the perfect venue, whether you're planning corporate events, business meetings, or intimate gatherings, is the key to event planning. And that's where Giggster can help you out! Giggster's 100 venues in Philadelphia will suit every occasion.

Event Spaces – Trendy and Versatile. When you're planning a milestone event like a Sweet 16, a proper event space or ballroom is just the location that you need! Find a spot with adequate seating, and if there's a dance floor, all the better for the youngsters! The best part is that you can decorate it however you like.

Loft/Studio – Cozy and Intimate Setting. Hosting a small group made up of your son or daughter and their friends? You don't need to splurge on a banquet hall. A loft or studio has all the same features while being much better suited to small gatherings. Lowkey game nights or karaoke nights are a great deal of fun for a bunch of teenagers.

Cafe – Parties with Chill Vibes. A cafe with warm-toned hues and large windows that let in plenty of natural light is the perfect setting for an afternoon party. Not only do you not need to worry about catering and furniture rentals with these locations, but you'll also have enough privacy if you book the whole space.

Restaurant/Bar – Food and Fun Combined. A cocktail bar or lounge might not be your location of choice for your kid's sixteenth birthday bash but as long as they're serving non-alcoholic drinks and good food, they're pretty convenient venues. Alternatively, an Italian restaurant works just as well!

Garden – Ideal for Summer Birthdays. If you want to take advantage of the warm summer temperatures, an outdoor celebration might be just the thing for you! A house with an outdoor deck or a tranquil and beautiful garden with enchanting climbers along the walls serves as a sanctuary in the heart of the city.

Planning Your Sweet 16 in Philadelphia

Finding the perfect event space isn't the be-all and end-all of the planning process. There's so much that needs to go into making your child's day special and memorable.

Make a Guest List Sit down with your daughter or son and make a list of the people that they want to invite. It's their day so making them feel a part of the planning is a big step. While there does need to be adult supervision, it's best to limit the number of adults.

Pick a Theme Teens love parties with themes! Whether it's an elaborate costume party, a luau, or a casual tea party in the middle of the afternoon, a theme will need to be addressed in the invitations as well as in the decor and food.

Hire a DJ and/or Limousine Depending on your budget, you can choose to have a limousine drop off your daughter at the venue. It'll be a once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience for her and her close friends. A DJ for a dance party is an absolute must.

Arrange for Catering This, of course, depends on the venue. You can just as easily buy different kinds of pizza and finger food for a Sweet 16 bash or get the fanciest of Asian-inspired bar eats served up in a restaurant.

Get a Photographer Yes, professional photographers are expensive. But this is a milestone that won't come around again and if you want to keep tangible copies of the memories, it's a good idea to have a photographer on the scene.

How to Save Money on Your Sweet 16 in Philadelphia

A Sweet 16 is a very special occasion and we can understand the urge to go all out with the celebrations. But there are still ways that you can keep a lid on the expenses.

Book venues well in advance.

The earlier you book, the wider your options are and the more likely you are to get the pick of the best locations. Once you've picked out the ideal location, see if you can arrange a visit. This will give you an idea of how to set up the space and what you might need to buy.

Skip the professional photographer.

In this day and age, many amateur photographers in the family can take brilliant pics! Designate a photographer at every table to make memories.

Get the birthday kid to pitch in.

Making the birthday girl or boy feel involved is a good way to hype them up in the run-up to the party! Leave the food and cake to the professionals but things like designing the online invitations and making the playlist are definitely things that you can do at home together.
