Planning parties in function rooms is never too much trouble. You have to be aware of your budget and to make sure you give guests more than enough time to respond to your invitation so you can plan with the venue manager. Once you have these things figured out, then you can plan the menu and prepare everything you will need in terms of seating arrangements and entertainment for your party.

Not all party spaces are going to require a hire fee in order for you to plan a party in one. Venues will offer a minimum spend hire option which will allow you to book the space without an upfront hire fee, but you are required to spend a certain amount of money on food and drinks over the course of your party. This is a great way to keep costs down, especially for large parties
