Absolutely! Here are some helpful tips for hiring an event space in Edinburgh!
- Determine your budget - Before looking for a party hall, decide on your budget. This way, you'll determine a reasonable price range that will help you narrow down your options and avoid overspending.
- Know your guest list - Have a clear idea of how many guests you'll be inviting and their needs. This will help you choose a venue that can accommodate your group size and any special requirements. For example, if you're organising a birthday for your child, you might look for kids' party venues in Edinburgh!
- Consider the location - Edinburgh has a range of function rooms for parties to choose from, but make sure that the one you will go for is convenient for your guests and has easy access to public transportation.
- Ask about amenities - When considering a party venue, ask about any amenities they offer, such as catering, audio/visual equipment, and decor. This can help you save time and money on additional services.
- Read reviews - Do research and read reviews from other customers to get an idea of their experiences with the party venues. This can help you make a final decision and avoid any surprises on the day of the event.
- Visit the venue in person - If possible, visit the venue in person before booking. This will give you a better idea of the space and help you envision how your event will look. Will it be a luxurious party in Edinburgh's city centre or a laid-back garden bash at a patio?
- Thoroughly read the contract - Ensure you understand the venue's terms and conditions before signing a contract. This includes details on payment, cancellation policies, and any restrictions on using the space.

Booked Wee Tap at Hanover Tap, Edinburgh
My event couldn't go ahead at Hanover Tap because of emergency maintenance that was required the morning of the event, so I can't really comment on the venue itself, but I felt I needed to leave a review on how things were handled. Chris and the team were absolutely fantastic at handling this so last minute, I was immediately offered options including an alternative venue (The Chanter) which turned out great for us. A new booking, including the catering, was fully sorted under two hours after I was made aware there was an issue and I never felt in any way pushed towards a particular option out of refund/reschedule/move the event which I really appreciated. This could have been horribly stressful with a good 90% of guests having flown in from other countries for the event, but it was handled really, really well. Can't recommend the team highly enough based on how they handled an emergency, I think it's important to know when booking somewhere that anything going wrong would be well taken care of and that's certainly the case here.

Booked The Other Room at Dragonfly Cocktail Bar
Our engagement party was a great success at Dragonfly! All our guests had a great time and many told us how much they loved the venue. The staff were very friendly and informative, both leading up to the day and throughout the event.

Booked Versatile Space at Slow Progress Records and Coffee
I loved the venue, perfect for the amount of people that I had, wouldn't be too good for more than 25 for a party. Staff was super friendly and helpful.

Booked Dirty Martini at Le Monde Hotel
Kevin and the team at Le Monde were very attentive from start to finish with the plans for my son's 21st in The Dirty Martini. They did everything and more to ensure we had all the information we needed, and they were always happy to meet us at the venue beforehand for continued discussions about table and buffet set ups. On the evening they were amazing at helping us set up for the party without a hint of bother. The bar staff were incredibly helpful and the party could not have been better. I have been telling everyone that they should use this venue. It's central, great value, enclosed for your guests, there's lift access (great for granny to get in and out and for the youngsters to get direct entry to the club below afterwards.

Booked Versatile Space at Slow Progress Records and Coffee
Excellent venue in a very handy location! The room was perfect for hosting our hen party afternoon activities and all the guests kept commenting the same. Connie was very helpful and let us in slightly early to decorate. Would definitely recommend using this room for similar events.

Booked Entire Venue at NOIR
Louise and the gang went out of their way to make our wedding party an event to remember for all the right reasons. Attentive service, plenty of access before the event and great food. Nothing was too much trouble and every guest had a wonderful time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this venue to anyone seeking an intimate and quirky place to celebrate any occasion. Happy customer here.

Booked The Garden at Rabble
Just hosted my 21st birthday party here for 40 people. The Sales and Event Manager was incredible throughout the whole organisational process. When I arrived, all staff were super friendly and were fantastic at helping with a slightly broken cake as well as showing me the space for setting up decorations.
Catering was incredible, all guests loved the food! Drinks were also delicious with a huge choice on the menu. Venue was also absolutely stunning , couldn't have found a nicer location for my birthday.
