On a tight budget and searching for a more affordable function room in Melbourne? Don’t stress. At Tagvenue, we know how to find a function venue that won’t break the bank. Here’s a short list of our handy tips:

• Go for a space with a BYO policy – Bringing your own drinks is likely to help you save heaps of dollars – the same goes for self-catering. We know plenty of function rooms in Melbourne that won’t mind you bringing a couple of bottles or your own food. Cheers!

• Picking a venue with a reasonable minimum spend is another way to cut costs. This approach gives you practically free party room hire, as you’re not spending a single cent on the space itself. You only need to spend a set amount on food and drinks. Sounds fair, doesn’t it?

• As a rule of thumb, it’s usually better to go for a small room than a big one that you won’t be able to fill. Hiring a function space that’s just the right size will encourage your guests to chat and mingle – and it’s often much cheaper, too. What’s not to like?

• You might also want to choose from unusual spaces located slightly off the beaten track. We know plenty of unique places (with attractive price tags) available for private hire. See our collection, and you’ll be amazed by what you can discover in Melbourne!
