Why Choose Giggster for Your Summer Parties?
Hosting summer parties doesn't have to be an arduous task when you have Giggster at your disposal. Your unique summer party venue is just a few clicks away, and we'll make sure it's memorable.
-
Thinking about a pool party? Your venue can be an elegant poolside affair or a family-friendly get-together complete with a pool slide for the kids. Tailor the venue to the guest list easily with Giggster.
-
The perfect summer party venue will likely include an outdoor space to take advantage of the potentially good weather. Consider a stately home with beautiful outdoor space, a country estate for something grander, or a covered patio to cover your bases. The intuitive Giggster app means quickly finding all these and even more summer party venues.
-
When planning a company summer party, a modern venue for a cocktail reception may be what you're after. Pick from a contemporary home with good light and great kitchen space or a London showroom for ample room for guests to mingle.
-
The ideal venue for a casual birthday party, family reunion, or retirement celebration might be a London Gastropub that offers outdoor access in the form of a charming beer garden. If that feels too conventional, our app will direct you to a restored railway arch or a treehouse terrace, the ultimate garden party spot.

Essentials for a Summer Party Location
Every summer party is different and your needs may be entirely different to the needs of others. With Giggster you can select great summer party venues based on location, amenities, furniture, theme, and so much more. Consider these factors before making a final decision:
Location, location, location. One of the main venue factors should be the location. Is it easily accessible for guests? Will there be enough parking? Try to select somewhere that's under an hour for the majority of your invitees. We have spaces in Central London, surrounding towns, and all over the UK.
What type of space do you need? Is your party vision one that includes London skyline views from a rooftop? Are indoor and outdoor spaces required? Will you be providing decor or does the space need to have it already? Consider other amenities like kitchen availability, tables/chairs, music, air conditioning, and natural light as well.
Is your planned entertainment possible? If your summer party plan includes live bands, a DJ, or other types of entertainment, ensure the space can accommodate. Is there room for the food truck or photo booth you plan to hire?
What if it rains? In England and the rest of the UK, rain is a part of life, even in the summer. Although outdoor events can be wonderful, it's good to have a contingency plan on site if the weather doesn't cooperate.
How to Plan a Summer Party
A summer party won't come together on its own. Giggster goes a long way in helping secure the perfect venue, but these steps will ensure you treat guests to one of the unforgettable events of the year.
Define Your Party Vision – First, decide whether the party's nature is formal or casual. Then, consider your theme, which could be anything from an elegant garden party to a tropical escape beach party to a relaxed BBQ.
Decide on Date, Time, and Budget – A summer party won't be the same if your guests don't get the date and time of the event in advance. Set your date and pick the ideal time. Determine your maximum budget and use Giggster to get your venue for a pocketbook-friendly price.
Choose a Venue – This one's easy. Simply download and open the Giggster app. Then, put in your criteria and you'll have a venue that meets your date, budget, and theme needs in no time. Create the guest list before finalising the venue so that you have enough space for everyone.
Plan Food, Drinks, and Entertainment – A summer party needs food, drinks, or both. Decide whether you're procuring these items directly from the venue or if you'll be getting a caterer/food truck independently. Entertainment options can range from pool activities and lawn games to DJs and other performers. Make sure your favourites are available for your date.
Decorate the Space – Elevate the already great space by adding things like centrepieces, twinkle lights, and flowers. Don't forget about the outdoor areas, either. Magical evenings are often bathed in the light of tiki torches and lanterns.
Summer Party Expenses to Plan For
Party budgets are meant to be set in stone, so prepare for all these potential expenses when planning your unique summer celebration:
Is the summer party venue reserved?
There's nothing worse than finding the perfect unique venue only to find out it's already booked. As soon as you know your dates, reserve online with Giggster. It can also be useful to tailor the party date to the availability of the ideal venue. With us, secure the party location in minutes for as low as £13/hour. For example, an event at a renovated farmhouse with a pool in Dunsfold costs £195 per hour. A greenery-filled covered patio in Beckenham can be yours for only £50 per hour. Party venues in London tend to cost a little more but are still totally manageable with Giggster.
What does the menu and bar look like?
A menu full of seafood and other fancy treats will cost more than a more basic offering. Food trucks are great for summer events and in London average anywhere from £11 to £15 per guest, whereas an elaborate sit-down meal can be two or three times that. The same goes for drinks. Serving beer and wine exclusively is more economical than spirits, especially top-shelf ones.
Do you have a weather contingency option?
An outdoor venue is just lovely during the London summer, but what if it rains? Placing a tent or other structure to ensure guests can escape the elements, can cost between £200 and £1,000+.
