Beautiful space and it was wonderful meeting the host, Charlotte. She was very accommodating. My guests and I felt welcome in her space. I hosted a small dinner party outside and it was a perfect summer evening. Clean, well-kept space with a lot of charm. It made the event that more special. Highly recommend.

This venue was the perfect space for my event. It was spacious, chic, clean and reasonably priced for the private space and service I received. The owner was very accommodating, friendly and professional from my initial contact to inquire about the venue, to making sure all was well during the event and ensuring that all ended well. I’ve already told some family and friends about this hidden gem venue. I look forward to hosting another event at this space.

Exceptional Events for Cocktail Party Venues

The Giggster app offers plenty of cocktail venues perfect for hosting baby showers, pre-wedding cocktail functions, corporate events, and more. You can even host milestone birthday celebrations or holiday parties with plenty of indoor and outdoor space.

  • Galleries – Mixology Demos. Imagine hosting a cocktail mixology demo session for your near and dear ones. Make and taste your own cocktails while enjoying a beautiful view and clicking fabulous pictures.

  • Bars – Themed Nights. If you're planning holiday parties like Halloween, Christmas, or even a friends and family Thanksgiving, you can easily host a theme night. Plan the cocktails around the bar theme, and have a boozy night out.

  • Lofts – Live Entertainment. Plan a musical night with drinks when you host a cocktail party at a stylish loft in the downtown area. Offer live musicians playing jazz, catchy tunes, acoustic duos, and more.

  • Lounges – Dance Parties. Host a fabulous dance party at a lounge venue while you sip on delicious cocktails made by an experienced bartender. Pair the cocktails with popular dance music, or even have a silent party with headphones.

  • Mansions – Cocktail Tasting Sessions. Planning to host a VIP gathering or a fashion soiree after-party?

You can be the star of the show with a cocktail-tasting session for all the guests.

Cocktail Party Location Must-Haves

Hosting a cocktail party means ensuring your guests are comfortable and having a good time. How would you like a few tips on the location must-haves to host a beautiful cocktail? These tips apply to personal events and corporate meetings.

Is the bar conveniently located? Let's not forget that the whole purpose of a cocktail party is to serve up delicious drinks! Ensure your bar is easily accessible to guests so they can get a refill whenever they need one.

Is there enough room to mingle? Cocktail parties are not sit-down events. People enjoy moving around, chatting, and mingling. When you're finalizing the location, check the seated and standing capacities.

Have you checked the lighting? You don't want stark white lighting for your cocktail get-together. Instead, make a note to recheck the mood lighting—warm lights, fairy lights, and any other needed to create the right ambiance.

Pros and Cons of Cocktail Party Venues

Find the perfect location for your cocktail party from among the 10000 listings available on the Giggster app. However, like any event space, you should check whether it's the right one for your requirements.

Advantages

  • On the Giggster app, you'll find plenty of unique venues for cocktail party celebrations. You can even hold your pre-wedding photo shoots with a backdrop of stunning views.

  • Most cocktail party venues offer comfortable seating, a good quality sound system, and a ground plus first floor for larger venues.

  • Cocktail party spaces have beautiful interiors and decor. You'll find ornate chandeliers, contemporary art, tasteful furniture, and more.

Disadvantages

  • Your chosen unique venue may have a minimum requirement booking amount, which could be problematic if you're planning an intimate event.

  • The cocktail venue should be a great space for dancing with friends and family, but not all venues may offer a fully functional dance floor with lighting.

  • Some locations could have strict time restrictions, which could dampen your plans for the evening and after-party.

Planning a Fabulous Cocktail Party

Giggster can help you with cocktail party listings for intimate and large event spaces. You can easily find a hidden gem among our 10000 properties and make it your own with a bit of organizing.

Rent The Perfect Venue – Renting the correct party space will help elevate your occasion. When you're shortlisting, consider a built-in bar for cocktail hour, natural light for classy photos, and function rooms that your guests can use to freshen up or change.

Finalize The Time and Date – Whether you're planning intimate weddings, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, or business meetings, finalizing the time and date is necessary to send out invitations well in advance. You'll also be able to save money on the food for cocktail parties since they're mostly evening events that wind up by 8 pm, saving you the cost of a full sit-down meal.

Curate The Drinks Menu – No cocktail party is complete without the drinks. For cocktail hours, plan four or five delicious cocktails and mocktails to enjoy with finger foods. Don't forget to include wine—red, white, and rose.

Plan the Entertainment – Whether you're planning a DJ, live music, or playing a list of songs from your phone, ensure you have the music and entertainment sorted weeks before the function. Since it's a celebration, keep the music lively and fun.

Saving Money Planning the Cocktail Party

Cocktail parties, like those held during corporate events and wedding receptions, can become expensive quite fast. It's easy for the costs to spiral out of control without a few checks and balances. Don't make this mistake at your next cocktail party. We can help you with rental listings starting at £15/hour while you save on the expenses.

Can you opt for an affordable venue?

Unique cocktail party venues are usually quite costly to rent. To secure a spot like Traditional London Pub w/ Roof Terrace & Private Room for your private event, you'll have to book the place quite early. Opting for something at a convenient location with a dining room and cocktail tables can be useful when curbing costs. On the Giggster app, you'll find plenty of popular cocktail party venues that are within affordable range.

Do you need multiple photographers and videographers?

For intimately hosted private events, one photographer is usually enough. If you're having a cocktail reception with many guests, you may want more than one photographer and videographer to cover the entire venue. However, hiring multiple people for the photo shoots and filming will drive the overall costs higher.

Can you reserve the cocktail party venue on a weekday?

Weekday bookings are cheaper than weekend bookings (which are more in demand). If you can host your next event on a weekday, you could save money, get a larger venue, invite more people, and even have an indoor and outdoor space.
