Planning the perfect home party in sunny Sydney? Before you start looking for a venue, here are some of the pros and cons of choosing Sydney as your party destination.
Advantages
Averaging 200 sunny days per year, the weather in Sydney is very inviting year-round, with warm summers and very mild winters.
If you love the outdoors, you'll love Sydney. From snorkeling to visiting national parks and iconic beaches, there's something in Sydney for everyone.
Home of the busiest airport in Oceania, and with coverage for both domestic and international flights, your attendees will have no excuse to miss your event. The Sydney Airport is just a 15-minute drive from Sydney Central Business District.
Disadvantages
Ranked just below Canberra and Adelaide, Sydney is firmly in the top rankings of the most expensive cities in Australia. Book your venue in advance with Giggster to cut down costs for your event.
Sydney isn't just the most populous city in Australia—it's also the most densely populated. During peak season, prices for everything skyrockets. Plan your event for the offseason between June and August.
Traffic in Sydney can be a real nightmare. On the flipside, Sydney has one of the best transport systems in the world, with a comprehensive network of buses and trains.

Party planning can be stressful. No matter if it's your first time or if you already have some experience under your belt. Break your planning into steps and make your party manageable!
Choose the Theme – Before choosing a venue, you need to decide on a theme. Make sure the theme aligns with the general purpose of the party and elevates it. Are you celebrating a special event like a birthday, or is it just a meet-up with friends?
Determine the Budget – How much can you realistically spend on this party? Based on how much you can spend, you then have to prioritize things like booking the venue and securing refreshments and entertainment. Additional equipment like professional sound systems and fancy decorations should come last.
Select the Venue – After you've chosen a theme, it's time to have some fun. Browse all the possible venues and pick the one that resonates with you. Giggster's got all the best venues in Sydney, from industrial homes to ground-floor mansions with enough space to accommodate the biggest home parties.

While looking for venues and planning the menu can be fun, juggling all the expenses and ensuring you stay within your budget is not. Here's how to ensure your home party's costs stay manageable.
Plan your event for the offseason.
In Sydney, you can get the cheapest deals on venues during the winter months of the offseason, between June and August. Your attendees will also get the best deals on flights and hotels. If you don't have that much flexibility with your event date, you can always book your party for a weekday when there's less demand and still make a decent saving.
Cater for your guests yourself.
If you're inviting your closest friends and family to your gathering, you don't need to hire a professional caterer. Take care of your party attendees yourself—prepare the refreshments or make it a potluck party to make them feel more involved.
Save money on decorations.
While decorations can add to the atmosphere, they can also be expensive and are one of the easiest ways to cut costs on any party. Consider reusing old decorations, shopping at thrift stores, or looking up DIY projects online. Let your creativity loose!
