Wedding Receptions

Some of the most memorable parties are wedding receptions. Here you can have food and dancing with friends and family to celebrate the new chapter starting in your life. Rooms such as The Last Talisman in Kipling Estate are elegant party spaces with premium leather furniture and a rare  atmosphere that encourages everyone in the room to enjoy a few cocktails and socialise, bringing two families together.

Birthdays

London has plenty to offer when it comes to birthday parties. Soho is one of the party capitals of the world, and it certainly has the venues to prove it. You can expect to find places like clubs for dancing, as well as classic pubs for a couple of beers and a football game depending on your taste and the occasion. Regardless of what you choose, your birthday party in London will be nothing short of an amazing time. Cheers!

Stag & Hen Parties

Right before you tie the knot, you’re going to want to go out with your friends for the night. A great place to start your night off is in one of London’s premier party spaces. Here you can enjoy a chill cocktail party and some great food before hitting the town. Picking a centrally located party room is great, as it throws you right into the action as your party wraps up. There are also some amazing spaces available for the main event of your night, with some great semi-private rooms that will allow for socialising not only with your guests but with some other partiers as well. So, whether you plan on starting your night off or finishing it, Tagvenue has spaces available to make this happen.

How to plan an amazing party in London?

This is an essential question that goes through every party planner’s mind. There are many moving parts that go into planning a party but do not fret; there are a few things to keep in mind that will ensure that your party will go smoothly.

Guests – It is important to know how many people will be attending your party. An easy way to keep track is by requesting an RSVP. Sending out your invitations a few months in advance will allow your guests time to respond and save the date. Once you have a proper guest count you can begin to organise the rest of your party.

Food and Drink – When you figure out how many people will be attending your party, it is time to look into the perfect food and beverage package for your party. Venues will often have a variety of options to choose from, whether it is a cash bar in the event of a minimum spend option, or the all-inclusive open bar, whether it is just beer and wine or a full-service cocktail bar. 

Many places will often have open kitchens for your party. If you are having a sit-down dinner as a part of your evening, you can expect there to be a limited menu for your guests to choose from, and there are also buffet options as well. If you have a preferred caterer, you can check in with the venue to see if they will allow an outside party to provide food for your event.

Vibe – The vibe of your party greatly depends on the occasion and the group of people you are catering to. If it is something more formal, it is best to choose a more elegant space to host the party, but if it is something casual, a pub will often suffice. 

Hints for booking a London party venue:

• Book as early as possible (the best venues book out months ahead).
• Consider the location (remember to check public transport connections and parking facilities).
• Think about the type of venue that will best suit (bar, restaurant, minimum spend venue, dry hire party venue).
• Establish whether there are any vendor restrictions–if the venue offers catering in-house, ask if you can do a tasting.
• Check if you’ll have exclusive use of the venue.
