Perth’s CBD is home to many cool venues that can be very easily accessed by your guests. The area from West Perth to East Perth won’t disappoint as well. Discover its bars and pubs of all sizes serving outstanding cocktails and mocktails. We also recommend having a look around bustling Leederville or Northbridge for cocktail venues such as Niche Bar or Planet Royale.

You can cut the costs with several strategies:

• Book in Advance: You can easily negotiate for better rates when you secure your booking early.
• Off-Peak Hours: Consider hosting your event during off-peak times like weekdays or earlier in the day to take advantage of lower rates.
• Minimum Spend Deals: Look for venues that offer a minimum spend option rather than a flat hire fee. This way, your expenditure goes towards food and drinks, effectively utilising your budget.
• Package Deals: Opt for venues that offer comprehensive event packages, which can be more cost-effective than paying for individual services.
• Negotiate: Don’t hesitate to discuss pricing with the venue manager. They might offer discounts for larger groups or longer booking durations.
• BYO Options: Some venues allow you to bring your own food or drinks for a fee, which can sometimes be cheaper than buying from the bar.

Keep these factors in mind:

• Location: Ensure the venue is conveniently located for your guests, ideally close to public transport or ample parking facilities.
• Capacity: Check the venue’s capacity to ensure it can comfortably accommodate your guest list.
• Amenities: Look for essential amenities such as large screens, sound systems, and food and beverage options that meet your event’s needs.
• Event Packages: Evaluate the packages offered, considering what is included (food, drinks, entertainment) and if they align with your budget and requirements.
• Atmosphere: Visit the venue to evaluate the atmosphere. The ambience should match the tone of your event, whether it’s a casual watch party or a more formal gathering.
• Customer Reviews: Read reviews to know the venue’s reputation for service, cleanliness, and overall experience.
• Flexibility: Check if the venue is flexible with booking terms, such as cancellation policies and the ability to decorate or rearrange the space.
• Technical Support: Ensure the venue has on-site technical support for AV equipment to avoid any issues during the event.
