Hiring a private party venue in Manchester – essential tips:

  • Start planning as early as possible – The best private party venues book out months in advance. The sooner you start the search, the more choice you have. What’s more, if you start planning your private party early, you’ll have more time to sort everything out (and the whole process will be less hectic, too).
  • Write down your guest list – This is particularly important for bigger events, weddings, for example. Preparing the list in advance will help you with choosing the right sized private party venue and estimating the budget for your event.
  • Consider the location – Spinningfields, full of luxury private party venues, is the perfect location for an elegant feast, while Northern Quarter usually hosts more alternative events. Manchester is big and diverse, but with our insider knowledge picking the right area is headache-free. Last but not least, don’t forget to check the venue’s transport links and make sure there’s enough parking space nearby.

Hiring a private party venue in Manchester on a budget:

On a tight budget? Don’t stress. We love helping people find their best venue deals! Here are the best tips for hiring a cheap private party venue in Manchester:

  • Aim for self-catering venues – Manchester is full of private party venues that allow external catering. This solution helps you save a significant amount of money. What’s more, if any of your guests have special catering needs (for example halal, kosher, vegan or gluten-free) it might be easier to meet their needs by choosing self-catering.
  • Hire a community hallCommunity centres usually offer much cheaper rooms for private events than other spaces in Manchester. That makes them an excellent private party venue option if you’re on a budget. Most community halls in Manchester work on dry hire basis, which means you only pay for hiring the space, while organising other aspects of the event is entirely up to you.
  • Choose a smaller venue – If you’re organising a private party for 50 people, there’s no need to hire a space that’s able to accommodate twice as many. We’re listing a large variety of beautiful small party venues in Manchester – check them out and enquire directly with the ones you like the most.
  • Decide on a minimum spend – Minimum is perfect for parties. This hire option will allow you to book a party venue basically for free. All you will have to do is spend a set amount of money on food and drinks. Anything you order from the venue ahead of the event will contribute to this amount also! What if you don’t cover the minimum spend? If you don’t  quite make it to the threshold by the end of the event, you will need  to pay the amount remaining. Or buy something within this price range.
  • Check out different locations – In some locations, prices for private party venues may be cheaper than in the city centre, for instance. Which locations are we talking about? Salford Quays, with party venues starting from £350 per day! Harpurhey for as little as £10 per person per day or in Piccadilly where prices start from £400 per day.
  • Choose off-peak hours and days – On some days and hours the venues aren’t particularly crowded. Because of this, owners let the private party rooms at lower prices to attract more clients. Usually party venues like pubs and restaurants are cheaper in the week during early hours.

Booked Cellar Bar at Northern Monk Refectory MCR
I hired this venue for my 30th birthday party in December. While other bars request £2000+ minimum spend, this venue only requests a £50/hour fee. This took away the stress of whether people would spend enough to cover it. The staff were super friendly and helpful throughout and responded to my queries quickly. On the day of my party they let me set up 3 hours in advance and had staff on hand to help where needed. My guests had a fantastic time and the venue was great for live music!

Booked The Loft at Revolution Oxford Road
The staff on the night of the event couldn't have been more helpful. There were a couple of things we forgot to bring (e.g. ping pong balls, aux cable) and they went above and beyond to help us sort those. I also appreciated that we didn't have to go back and tidy up after the event since the venue took care of that.

Booked Semi Private Mezzanine at Gusto Italian Manchester
I just wanted to email for you to pass on my thanks to the team at the Gusto for our Private Dining Experience on Saturday 28th October 5:30 onwards. They were immaculate! Their presentation, manner and the room. We had a brilliant day, the food was fresh and on time, the staff were organised and helpful. So thank you for helping organise and also the guys working with us on the day. They made my sister's Hen Party a very special day!

Booked Private Dining Room at Hotel Indigo Manchester - Victoria Station
The communication with Ellie was pristine. I booked whilst in a different country so this was imperative to me. She helped with everything and even called me when it was needed. While on location her colleague showed the room to my friend which was very kind of them. When the day of my event arrived I went to see the room the day before and they really did their best to accommodate my requests and event needs. On the day everything went smoothly. The catering was impeccable and the room cosy and comfy. Lunch was a delicious delight and the staff did their best to help make it a luxurious and memorable experience for everyone involved. Thank you all once again.

Booked Lost Weekend Basement Bar at The Shack NQ
Alex was of great help in organising the perfect wedding after party for us. All of our guests had a great time and it was exactly like how we had planned it to be. The entire staff (especially the bar staff) during our event were extremely helpful and they assisted us with all of our requests. We’re thoroughly impressed with the professionalism and dedication portrayed by everyone involved in managing & organising our event. This is the place to be if you want to have the best time with your loved ones! The fun part is you get to have different games so it makes for a great socialising experience as well.
