Disadvantages
If you're cramped for space and size matters, you may be better off booking out the entire bar or restaurant instead.

From family gatherings to corporate parties, successful events take a lot of planning (and sometimes stress). The steps below provide a rough guide to the key tasks you need to tackle during the planning process.
Set the Date – First and foremost, choose a date and time for your party and contact all your key guests to tell them to save the date.
Choose a Venue – Compare party rooms to find your perfect party venue. Whatever you're looking for in a space—a private bar, an outdoor bar or outdoor terrace for a summer party, a Northern Quarter location, exclusive hire of the entire venue, a large maximum capacity, or anything else—shop around to find the perfect venue. Remember to send out the invitations once the venue is locked in.
Book Catering – Delicious food is a key ingredient in any successful party, so work with the venue or your own caterer to ensure a top-notch food and drinks menu.
Sort the Entertainment – If you need to book a band to play live music or hire some party games to keep everyone entertained, now is the time to make those arrangements.
Get Decorative – Buy, create, or hire any decorations you need to get your party venue looking just right for your event.

Keep more money in your pocket with these budgeting tips.
Stick to your price range.
Use Giggster's price filter to restrict your search results to party spaces that fit in your price range. We have plenty of options to suit all occasions and price points.
Keep the numbers down.
You don't need a long guest list to have a great party. Keep the vibe intimate (and the cost low) by limiting the number of people you invite to your colleagues, best friends, and/or closest family members.
Be realistic as you plan and budget.
Put together a detailed breakdown of all the event expenses you're going to have to budget for. Add them up to set a realistic spending limit rather than an overly ambitious target.
