If you’re planning to host a dinner for a smaller number of people, then we recommend booking your event around 6 to 8 weeks in advance. This gives you plenty of time to prepare, send out your invitations, get your guests to RSVP and overall manage all the details. If you’re aiming for a slightly larger party, then booking at least 3 to 6 months in advance will be a safe bet. Don’t leave the venue hire till the last minute!
