When hiring a function room, you might choose a blank canvas space. This type of room allows you to decorate and serve your guests according to your wishes. You might choose to BYO alcohol or even hire an outside caterer. For a function room that charges a per-person package fee, you can expect to receive a set menu of food and drink suitable for the size of your event.
If you choose to hire a venue that allows BYO alcohol, you can serve alcoholic beverages. You can search for these venues on a platform such as Tagvenue, which offers filters for catering options. Be aware that some historic venues may prohibit you from serving certain dark-colored drinks such as whiskey or red wine. Remember, you cannot serve alcohol to minors, even if you have hired the space.
