How to find the ideal venue for your birthday party in Sydney 

So you want to properly celebrate your 21 but don’t know where to start? No worries. The whole venue hire process is relatively easy. You just need to decide on some key elements before picking the ideal party space. Below, we’ve listed everything you should know, so make sure to read them and take some notes so that your venue search goes off without a hitch:

• What kind of party are you planning? – One of the first things you’ll need to decide is whether you’d like a sit-down dinner, a crazy bash, or an experience-centred event.  This will help you rule out spaces that won’t fit with their decor, and keep your venue search focused only on ones that will match your desired party vibes. If you’re doing the hard work of organising a 21st bday for someone else and don’t know which route to take, why not gather some inspiration from those closest to them to get a feel for what they’d like best?
• What if it rains? – If you’re opting for an outdoor venue, such as a rooftop bar, a garden or a patio, you might want to make sure you can have a plan B in place just in case the weather goes south. Discuss your options with the venue manager. Many venues offer electric heaters, blankets and shelter when it starts to rain, but that doesn’t mean that all do. 
• The number of guests – Maybe your 21st is the perfect excuse to invite a lot of people to come and help you celebrate or perhaps you’d rather be surrounded by just your nearest and dearest. Either way, figure out how many people you’ll be inviting so you can look at the right-sized venues! Even an estimate of your guest list will do! 
• Consider your younger guests – This is an important one not to overlook! If you’re planning on inviting friends that are under the age of 18, this might be an issue for licensed venues. Chat with your chosen venue to check on the rules!
• Make it unique – Though every birthday should be special, your 21st is even more so! Why not arrange something super unique, like a scavenger hunt, a themed party, or even a two-day affair? Once you’ve got a concept in mind, it’ll be much easier for you to find the right venue that can help fulfil your vision!
• Set a budget - Now, let’s talk about money. How much would you like to pay for the whole event? You need to know your limits to avoid overspending. It will also help you to be reasonable - you shouldn’t make any rushed decisions and always pick a space that fits in your price range. 

• Consider the location - Thai Town, Wynyard or maybe The Rocks? Here’s the thing with choosing the location: it needs to be accessible! Check whether you can easily reach the venue by public transport or car. If not, consider looking for something else. After all, you want everyone invited to show up, and location can have a huge impact on attendance. 

• Decide on the menu - Deciding on what type of food you’d like to serve beforehand will help you find a venue that meets your needs. Consider whether a full-course meal, a buffet or finger foods match best your event. If you don’t know, you can always ask the venue manager for help! They will dispel any of your doubts and give you some recommendations based on their experience. 

Have you made some notes? Great! Now you can start your quest of finding the perfect venue for your legendary bash! Just remember to take as much time as you need to pick spaces that have caught your eye and compare them based on your requirements. Only by being thorough will you be able to find your dream space and host a successful celebration. But we know that you’ll do just fine! Now, take our smart engines for a spin and pick your ideal space on Tagvenue!
