• Wedding Reception – Romantic Events.

• After Work Party – Time to Unwind. Need a fun after-work spot to unwind after a long and busy day at work? Reserve a table or two at a sports bar in the clouds. A pool match, foosball or air hockey are excellent ways to let your hair down.

Rooftop Location Must-Haves

The ideal rooftop locale has everything you need and more to ensure your next event goes smoothly. Pull out your checklist and check off these must-haves.

Plan for plenty of good food. There is no venue in the world where guests have a great time without good food. Whether you're hosting a wedding or a baby shower, food should be your priority. If the bar doesn't serve the food you like, check if you can bring your own food or hire caterers to do the job.

Will there be panoramic views? The point of renting a rooftop location is obviously the views. Cityscapes are fascinating, and it would be a shame to book a rooftop garden with obstructed views. Visit the location to examine the views in person.

Will you need outdoor heaters? Unless you're hosting on a scorching summer day, it is best to find venues with outdoor patio heaters or a retractable roof for those hazy evenings.

Pros and Cons of Events at Rooftop Venues

Though the pros of rooftop locations outweigh the cons, it's worth pointing them out to help you prepare.

Advantages

• Rooftop celebrations are known to offer breathtaking views and an incredible atmosphere. What could be better than sipping cocktails and celebrating love as the sun sets across the iconic South Bank?

• Rooftop locales are synonymous with summer parties, whether you're hosting a corporate event or an anniversary dinner. Everyone could use some cool, fresh air.

• Forget about overcrowded party venues! The best rooftop venues can accommodate large crowds.

Disadvantages

• Unpredictable weather is a major drawback when hosting a party on an open rooftop terrace. Don't let the weather ruin your celebration; be prepared with an indoor backup plan.

• Things are more likely to go wrong on an outdoor terrace than on a ground floor, although that's not always the case. Keep in mind that exposed surfaces can be slippery when wet, so walk with caution if it has just rained, especially if you've already had a few drinks.

• Since most rooftop event spaces are restaurants, bars, and pubs, they almost always have strict rules regarding alcohol consumption, noise levels, and opening and closing times.

Planning Your Rooftop Event

Whether you are hiring an event planner or doing all the planning and organizing yourself, some elements require more attention than others when it comes to partying in the clouds. Elevate your big event with a checklist to keep you organized and on track.

Get Creative with Food and Drinks – There's no rule that says you must serve a three-course meal for your wedding, graduation party, or corporate event. Consider your budget and guests' preferences and special requirements to create a menu that is befitting to all. Sometimes, light bites and nibbles can go a long way to keeping hunger at bay.

Be Prepared for Inclement Weather – Celebrating an important milestone on a London rooftop bar is like playing Russian roulette. You never know when the weather can change on you. Having a backup plan for rain and strong wind is essential!

Entertainment is a Must – It's one thing when you casually walk into a bar and are satisfied with the music in the background. But your own party should be a lot more than that! Hire a DJ or a live music band for an all-night dancing under the open sky.

How to Save Money on a Rooftop Venue Rental

City locations can be very expensive, but there are ways to cut costs on partying, even in the best rooftop bars. A gorgeous rooftop terrace on Giggster starts at just £25/hour.

Host your event during the day.

Evening events can cost a lot more than daytime matinees. Pick an hour on a weekday, preferably before 4 pm to significantly reduce costs.

Take advantage of happy hour deals and specials.

After-work partygoers know exactly what this is all about. Most happy hours are between 4 pm and 8 pm, during which you can get drinks and food at discounted prices. If you plan your event during that time, you could absolutely maximize your budget.

Simplify the decor.

Outdoor rooftop spaces are already perfect to host any occasion. Given the natural decor and gorgeous backdrop, less will be more when it's time to add a personal touch to the space.
