For the best selection, it’s a good idea to book at least 4 to 8 weeks in advance, especially if you’re planning a party on a Friday or Saturday night. Popular venues in the City Centre and West End tend to get booked up quickly, particularly during peak seasons like December and summer months. If you have a specific venue in mind or need a larger space, booking 3 to 6 months ahead is recommended. Smaller venues or weekday events may have more last-minute availability, but it's always best to secure your booking as early as possible.
