Pros and Cons of Affordable Parties in Toronto

Toronto is the largest metropolitan area in Canada and a major economic hub, housing one of the largest stock exchanges in the world. With more than 6.6 million residents and a healthy influx of tourists all year round, only a few places can compare to Toronto when it comes to parties.

Advantages

• Being the economic capital of Canada and home to one of the largest stock exchanges in the world, Toronto's nightlife is just as diverse and rich.

• As the most populated metropolitan area in the country, Toronto's nightlife has to cater to a very wide audience, meaning you're sure to find your dream venue.

• From Toronto to outlying Greater Toronto Areas like Hamilton and Durham, Toronto's expansive public transportation means all your attendees will be able to get there easily.

Disadvantages

• From early December to the middle of March, freezing temperatures can put a damper on most outdoor activities. In the colder months, look for an indoor venue instead.

• Getting a permit for your party can be a long process if you're doing it on your own.

• Toronto consistently ranks among the three most expensive cities in Canada, so picking the right venue for your budget becomes even more important.

How to Plan an Affordable Party in Toronto

Toronto is known as the financial capital of Canada, but it is also known for its dynamic and vibrant nightlife and rich cultural heritage, from museums, theaters, and galleries to bars, nightclubs, and cafes. In Toronto, you won't lack options to host a party. The difficulty is often in the planning—here's how to get started.

Determine the Budget – Between booking a venue, catering, and decorations, party expenses can quickly grow out of control. The first step to planning any successful party is to determine your budget—even before looking at venues—and stick to it.

Select the Venue – After determining your budget, it's time to have some fun. From Victorian-era houses and sophisticated venues in Old Toronto to cafes and karaoke in the Entertainment District, Giggster makes it easy to browse the 187 best locations for your party in Downtown Toronto.

Entertainment – Different venues have different rules regarding sound levels and entertainment. Keeping that in mind, you'll want to hire a DJ or captivating live music to brighten the atmosphere. Try your hand at DJing, or look for local bands for more budget-friendly options.

Catering – Part of being a good host is foreseeing what your attendees will need to have a good time. Whether you're hiring a caterer or doing it yourself to reduce expenses, make sure your attendees are well taken care of in your party venue and they won't forget it.

Saving Money on a Party in Toronto

Planning your first event can be a difficult affair—there are so many moving parts that seem out of your control. Here are some tips to help you spend your money wisely and effectively so you can focus more on making your event an extraordinary occasion.

Stick to your budget.

It's easy to get sidetracked if you don't have a clear budget. Account first for unavoidable expenses and let your imagination loose with the rest. Otherwise, you may end up spending more than you should on a venue, having lackluster entertainment, or not having enough refreshments for your attendees. Plan ahead and make it a memorable night!

Are you getting the most out of the venue?

When booking a venue, think about what amenities you will realistically use and avoid overlaps. Does the venue offer a sound system? Does the band you hired also include a sound system in their initial quote? You may want to negotiate with both parties and see if you can reach an agreement—and save some money in the process. Also check if you really need a large venue, since small party venues are a much cheaper option.

When should you book a venue?

How much flexibility do you have for your event? A birthday party, holiday parties, or special date celebrations may not have much flexibility, but booking in advance will save you more than you think. If you have more flexibility, plan for off-peak and midweek days—or when there's less demand. Book your private event space only when you're absolutely convinced it's the right fit!
