How to plan an unforgettable birthday party in a cheap venue in London?

Planning a marvellous birthday party in an affordable London venue is easier than you might think. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you:

  • Set a Budget: Determine how much you're willing to spend on the venue, catering, and entertainment. Luckily, London offers a wide range of budget-friendly options.
  • Choose the Right Area: Consider areas like Shoreditch, Peckham, or Brixton, which often have inexpensive event venues compared to central London. These neighborhoods have their own adorable charm and plenty of trendy spots.
  • Pick a Date: London has peak seasons for events, typically from late spring to early autumn. Booking during the off-peak months or on weekdays can save you money.
  • Select a Venue: Use Tagvenue's smart search engine to find cheap venues that match your budget. Keep an eye out for packages and promotions that venues may offer.
  • Guest List: Create a guest list and confirm the number of attendees. This will help you choose the right-sized venue.
  • Catering: Opt for budget-friendly catering options such as buffets or food trucks. Some venues such as The Clubhouse at the Victoria or Semi Private Back Area at Simmons | Mornington Crescent may also allow you to bring your own catering.
  • Entertainment: Consider free or low-cost entertainment options, like hiring a local DJ, using a playlist, or organizing fun games and activities.
  • Decorations: DIY decorations and minimalistic themes can save you money. Many venues offer a blank canvas, allowing you to customize the space to your liking.
  • Transportation: Ensure the venue is easily reachable by public transport, as it can save your guests hassle and money on travel.
  • Book in Advance: Secure your venue well in advance, as popular spots tend to get booked quickly.

Booked The Terrace at Studio48 Bar & Kitchen
Such a fab night for my 30th here! The staff were so lovely and accommodating, from my initial contact with the host to organize and then on the night. They really made sure I was looked after and kept up to date with the whole process. I booked the top floor terrace and it was perfect for my 30 guests, plus no problem hitting the service charge/rent charge.

Booked Garden Room at TOLA
Thank you so much TOLA for a fab birthday. Everything was great from communicating with Frank prior to our party to the tola team being so friendly and brilliant on the night (bar team and security were wonderful), the cocktails were delicious and the space is perfect for a party, great to have such a nice/private outside space and was nice having a sound proof door to the downstairs for when the music starts at 11 but then also fab having the option to go and dance downstairs too!

Booked The Gallery Bar at Dirty Martini St. Paul's
Excellent service!!! Highly recommend!! Friendly staff! Me and my friends all had a good time! Thank you to our amazing bar man too! He is super nice and super friendly. I was worried because I have a lot of guest coming and I thought 1 barman wouldn't be enough, but he exceeded all our expectations.

Booked The Clubhouse at the Victoria at The Clubhouse at The Vic
My wife absolutely loved her birthday! It was the best experience and the staff were wonderful. So helpful, kind and understanding. We had no issues whatsoever with communication and they were incredibly easy to work with. The venue itself is a hidden gem and so very little needs to be done in terms of decorations. They are flexible with their approach also. I would definitely use them again.

Booked Function Room at Simmons | Temple
Great room, tidy and clean. Great drinks, friendly, helpful and fun staff. Great cocktails. Speakers were more than adequate for playing bass oriented dance music. I was misinformed about lead requirements for the decks and as a result we had the wrong one. This did cause some unnecessary stress and delay to our music but it was resolved promptly by Simon, thanks!

Christian A.
Booked Discotheque at Queen of Hoxton
Really recommend Queen of Hoxton for a big event. The staff are so friendly and the space is perfect for a birthday event. There is a bar in the basement with really great staff. The tech guy helped set up the decks which which was really great because I would have been lost otherwise! Cannot stress enough how much I recommend the venue!

Booked The Library at L'Escargot
Great service, excellent food (we had two chefs in our party who have worked in Michelin starred kitchens and both loved the food) all in a beautiful room. Would reiterate, service was outstanding (thank you Tom) and the events team are super helpful. Everything ran like clockwork and we all had a great evening.
