5 types of events that you can celebrate at a party venue

If you’re thinking about why you should hire a party venue, it’s worth remembering that not all venues will be suitable for your chosen occasion. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular events that are celebrated and consider the best party venue to complement the occasion.

Birthday parties

When it comes to organising birthday parties, it’s important to consider the age of the person whose birthday you’re looking to celebrate, as you will need to choose a party venue that’s appropriate. As an example, you wouldn’t choose to celebrate a 10 year old’s birthday in a restaurant or bar, and you’d probably rather not celebrate your 30th in the local village hall. Square Meal UK have lots of party venue options available for party planners to browse which makes the process of finding the right party venue for your birthday boy or girl much easier. 

Wedding receptions

If you want to know why you should hire a party venue for your wedding reception, let me enlighten you. When it comes to weddings, everything is expensive. When I was planning my own wedding I found that simply sticking the word ‘wedding’ in front of anything essentially doubled the price – this was especially true of venue hire. If you’re looking for a way to save money on your wedding reception, but still ensure you and your guests all have an amazing time, checking out local party venues is a great idea. We hosted our wedding reception in a lovely country pub that had a huge cellar room for us to enjoy. The bar was open for guests to purchase drinks and we agreed on a meal that was catered by the restaurant’s chefs.

Christmas Parties

If it’s your job to plan the staff Christmas party, this is why you should hire a party venue: staff expertise. If decor isn’t your thing, or designing a menu to suit everyone’s needs has you pulling your hair out, considering a restaurant party venue for your big bash could save you the headache. Often the staff at party venues know exactly how to decorate and manage guests to ensure everyone has a great time and that everything runs smoothly. If you want to be the hero of Christmas this year, you should definitely consider hiring a party venue for your work’s Christmas do! 

Hen and Stag Parties

Calling all Maid Of Honours and Best Men, is planning the best hen parties and stag do’s stressing you out? It’s a huge responsibility to plan a party for someone who’s getting married soon and it’s natural for you to want what’s best for your favourite person. When it comes to this type of party, the venue you choose is paramount. Party animals will probably favour a bar where there are plenty of drinks flowing, whereas nature lovers may enjoy a more scenic event in a country lodge or spa. The most important thing to remember when planning a hen party or stag do is to talk to the bride or groom before you make any arrangements to ensure that you plan the best bash ever! Don’t forget to discuss the hen/stag budget with the other party go-ers to ensure everyone’s able to afford it and be part of the celebrations; click here for some cheap party ideas to get you started.

Baby Showers

Baby showers are so fun to plan, but if you’re wondering why you should hire a party venue for one, the main reason is that it’s pretty likely you’re going to want a lot of space for your guests. Additionally, baby showers are all about celebrating and making memories with the people that you love most in life, so very often mums-to-be have large photo props and baby themed decor scattered around to help bring the venue to life.

    You’re so right about specific wedding venues being very expensive as soon as the W word is mentioned. But hiring out a different type of venue could save loads of money x
