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.

Lovely owner. Great location. Unique venue. Set in a beautiful flower shop with ornate features. The space fitted our group well ( 14 people). Plenty of space to setup and have some drinks or snacks upstairs! Private space, to host those more special or small events. Highly recommend 😊
