Planning Your Christmas Party in Edinburgh
Whether you're considering private rooms for smaller groups or unique venues to indulge and celebrate with your guests, you need to plan the Christmas party well. Book the perfect place on the Giggster app with a few clicks for a great night out in town.
Set a Budget – December is the month for expenses! Don't get carried away by the festive fun and think about your party with a clear head. Plan a realistic budget to help control costs, manage expenses, and get everything ready properly. You can get the perfect venue on trendy streets like George Street, New Town, if you budget and book early.
Choose the Venue – Choosing the correct venue is half the battle won. You can easily choose from different rental properties like Irish bars, Indian restaurants, boutique hotels, wine bars, banquet halls, event spaces, and more. With more than 38 party venues, you're sure to find the best for your festive cheer. You can host a Christmas dinner, plan the entertainment, and have a fancy table setting only when you secure a fabulous venue on the Giggster app.
Finalise the Entertainment – You can't have a Christmas party without some fabulous entertainment options. Edinburgh has a wide talent pool, and you can recruit local artists for Christmas skits and plays, dances, music, and so on. If you want, you can also hire a local DJ to keep everyone on their toes throughout the evening.
Arrange the Transport – Depending on the venue location, you should arrange transportation for your guests. Organise the buses or cars from a central location so everyone can easily travel to and from the designated meeting spot.
Saving Money on a Christmas Party in Edinburgh
Work toward hosting at the best Christmas party venues and not worry about going overboard with the expenses. You can save money on planning, organising, and decorating while having festive fun. One quick way to find the best venues is to search the Giggster app (we have rental rates as low as £25/hour).
Can you book the venue early?
Venues during the festive season, especially Christmas party nights, get booked out very quickly. If you're late to secure a location, you may end up paying astronomical rates for the rental. Reserving early (weeks or months in advance) can help you get excellent rental properties at a cheaper rate. If you're lucky, you may even get a fabulous venue hire in Edinburgh City Centre.
If possible, negotiate with vendors quickly.
The holiday season can get quite chaotic. Get in touch with vendors who are experienced at planning parties and getting everything ready at multiple popular Edinburgh venues. Ensure the festivities commence with delicious food, wine, a dance floor, and more. Negotiating with the vendors and organising everything early will help control costs, and ensure Christmas cheer all around.
Can you control the bar menu?
Instead of keeping an open bar, plan your own bar with a few select delicious Christmas-themed cocktails. Having a curated drinks menu will make your party seem exclusive, yet will help curb costs. An open bar with unlimited drinks will significantly increase the cost of alcohol and mixers. For bartenders, consider a private hire instead of opting for an agency, so you can save additional money.
