Sacramento, CA, is the land of vineyards and old-fashioned charm. The capital city of California is much quieter than you would expect, unlike big cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco. But for all that, the little museums and Gold Rush-era relics in some parts of the city, like Old Sacramento, are a big draw for tourists. It's kind of the ideal place to host a Christmas party!
Giggster has a bunch of venues that your friends and colleagues are sure to love! From private dining rooms and tasting rooms inside wineries in downtown Sacramento to an elegant estate with large open spaces, find the best holiday party venues in the city with Giggster.
Looking to host a more formal corporate event? Then a convention center or event hall is just the space for you. On the other hand, if you're looking for a more casual and fun vibe, a poolside terrace might be more to your liking! And the California weather, of course, makes sure that no one feels too cold.
The Giggster app has a wide variety of venues, in terms of both aesthetics and price, available for you to rent. So find your next holiday party venue and blow your friends' minds with your pick!
Whether you're planning a formal corporate event for the whole company or just a small team get-together in a restaurant venue, Giggster will have a place for you. Indoor or outdoor venues for your Christmas party await on our app!

Like every other city, there's some good and some bad in Sacramento. Think carefully before booking: is this picturesque city well-suited to your needs?
Advantages
There's plenty of exciting architecture and museums in downtown Sacramento to keep your guests entertained even outside of the party.
Good wine and food accompany the territory in Sacramento so you can plan a grand celebration to your heart's content, knowing the essential features are taken care of.
You don't need to worry about a cold and dreary Christmas season in Sacramento. It's unlikely that rains will disrupt your holiday party in California!
Disadvantages
Unfortunately, it's pretty expensive. So finding even a cozy, intimate spot for small groups isn't exactly a cheap proposition.
Sacramento isn't exactly the wildest party city. If it's nightclubs and bars you're looking for, you're better off elsewhere.
Public transport is practically non-existent outside of downtown Sacramento. If you don't have a car at your disposal, you might be in trouble.
Choosing the venue for your location isn't the beginning and ending of planning a Christmas party but it sure is important! With the help of Giggster, you can sit at home and pick from 13 venues, whatever may catch your eye.
Trendy Event Space – Modern and Versatile. A ballroom or event hall is a spacious and versatile setting for any number of occasions and a Christmas party is one of them. The high ceilings and pale wood floors add to the feeling of spaciousness, and the best part is that you can deck it up however you like. Go wild with your themes and color schemes.
Estate – Sprawling Open Spaces. Why not serve a proper sit-down Christmas dinner on the back deck of a home located right on the banks of the Sacramento River? And when it gets cold in the evening, you can retreat indoors into the luxurious living room without even pausing your party.
Gallery – Upscale Company Parties. Whether you're planning unofficial business meetings at a classy Christmas party with your business partners or just enjoying some chit-chat after a year of hard work, a gallery is a classic location. The white walls and colorful art form a charming backdrop to your conversations.
Wineries and Taprooms – Picturesque Venues. Some of the most distinctive venues in Sacramento are the private dining rooms and taprooms of wineries. Not only can you treat your friends or colleagues to some rounds of wine tasting, but you can also enjoy an elegant meal in between sips of wine. The aged oak barrels lend a rustic charm to an otherwise elegant location.
Poolside Lounge – Fun and Casual Occasion. Hosting your immediate circle of friends on a terrace beside a pool is a nice idea for an intimate gathering. Set up tables of food along the side and even if you don't want to take a dip in December, the cool waters of the pool still provide a soothing ambiance.
Suppose you have some kind of unique event vision and you want to plan it out to the last detail. It's always best to go step-by-step so you don't get completely overwhelmed by everything!
Set a Budget – Whether it's a company party or a private holiday party, a budget is a must! How else will you know not to go overboard with the dinner, the decor, and the venue and rack up too many expenses to keep track of?
Decide on a Theme – Christmas parties are supposed to be fun. No one takes them very seriously and everyone will enjoy a theme like an ugly sweater party or dressing up in a red and green color scheme.
Send Out Invitations – You have to remember that this is a busy time of year and everyone has multiple engagements. Sending out invitations early and having your guests RSVP gives everyone time to prepare and also builds the hype.
Plan the Meal – Two catering options would be either to serve snacks and drinks buffet-style so the guests can help themselves or have a proper sit-down lunch or dinner. You could even arrange a potluck so everyone feels involved.
Set Up the Space – You can pick out a team to help you with this part! From putting up Christmas decorations, laying out the food, and the party games to setting up a photo booth, this might be the most fun part of party planning.
We understand that it's a special occasion and you want to go all out to impress your guests. But you can make this an unforgettable experience for your friends without emptying your bank account!
Limit your guest list.
If it's a company party, you can always skip the plus ones. That way, there won't be any unaccounted people at the party and you'll have an exact idea of how many people to prepare for. If it's an intimate gathering of friends and family, stick to the people you're closest to.
Skip the alcohol.
If you aren't hosting at a winery, then you can just skip the alcohol altogether! Do you know what's always a hit during the Christmas season? A DIY hot chocolate bar! And it's definitely much cheaper than serving alcohol.
Send out invites by mail or social media.
Printed invitations on expensive cardstock might be fancy. But in this day and age, it's so easy to make a digital invitation card with a free website and circulate it on social media. Or you can always invite people with personal emails.
From a historic wine-tasting room with a cool, exposed brick wall and long tables to an elegant estate littered with sprawling trees, Giggster has the best event spaces in northern California! So look through all your options and pick out a breathtaking venue for your next event.
