Whenever you are planning a party, it is important to prioritize your and your guests’ comfort during the event. It can be very tempting to opt for a venue that checks all the boxes when it comes to decor, entertainment, and beverages, but you might find yourself in a tricky situation if there aren’t any accessible transportation links or you get overheated in the midst of your dance-off due to a lack of air conditioning. Important amenities to always look for include:

  • Nearby public transportation and parking spaces
  • Air conditioning
  • Sitting/lounge areas
  • WiFi or any technical equipment you may require

Additional aspects to consider include possible in-house catering, flexibility when it comes to the layout, and of course, an experienced venue staff who will be able to support you prior to and during the event.

Booked The Mezzanine at The Bull
5.0

Absolutely perfect throughout the whole process! Communication was clear and prompt - Heidi, Dan, and Kristi were so lovely! I highly recommend the mezzanine for your next party, it was private while still having a lively atmosphere from the rest of the pub. The area was clean and spacious, with comfortable seating. The staff put out our drinks packages for our arrival and they were arranged beautifully. I cannot recommend enough!!

Booked Whole Venue at Notes Coffee & Wine Bar - Kings Cross
5.0

We hired the whole venue for our Xmas party of about 40 people. The food and drink were lovely although I think there should have been more cooked food and less bread based snacks. The service was lovely. The agreed minimum spend was very reasonable. We could put up our own decorations and played our own music.
