Start with a Budget – How much you spend on your private dining room event depends on many factors, starting with your guest count. When allocating your funds, knowing your priorities is key. Is it the decor you want to spend more on, or does entertainment matter more?
Find the Right-Sized Private Dining Room – The size of the room can make or break your event. Are you hosting a networking mixer for 70 standing guests? Or a small private dining room for 20 seated guests is exactly what you need for your Christmas dinner. Is the private dining room seating arrangement important? These things matter when choosing the space and capacity.

Though dining in a private room of a restaurant sounds a bit posh, it doesn't have to cost a fortune. These ideas will help you enjoy the upscale experience without the hefty price tag.
Book a smaller venue.
The charges for a smaller venue are normally lower than those with a seating capacity of over 50, for instance. But to make sure your guests have plenty of space, it’s important to keep your guest list small.
Choose an off-peak date.
If you have some flexibility with your dates, consider booking your venue for a weekday event. Many restaurants offer special discounts for brunch and lunch or early evening bookings.
Go with a set menu.
Choosing the right food can help you stay within budget while still offering a memorable experience. Instead of giving guests an endless choice of food, why not create a fixed-price set menu?
