Since Christmas is one of the most popular times of the year, we recommend booking the venue around 6 months in advance for bigger parties, and at least 2 months in advance for smaller ones. This gives you plenty of time to make sure that you definitely get the place, can decorate it to your liking, hire any external vendors, and get all the details ready and set before the official day of the party. Make sure all your guests RSVP so you don’t end up overpaying for anyone who won’t be attending.
