Start by choosing a venue with a minimum spend rather than a high hire fee, as this allows you to allocate your budget towards food and drinks. Opt for off-peak times like weekday evenings to secure lower rates. Simplify the menu to include shared platters or set meals, which can be more cost-effective than individual dishes. Additionally, consider a BYOB (bring your own bottle) option if the venue permits, to save on beverage costs. Booking well in advance can also help secure better deals.
