The price can include different things depending on the venue. For example, Friday's Glasgow on Buchanan Street offers packages that often include meals and drinks. Minimum spend venues, such as NYC Bar & Grill, allow you to allocate your budget towards food and drink. Some places charge a hire fee, like Mackintosh at the Willow, which includes the exclusive use of the space and basic amenities.

It's best to book your special occasion restaurant at least 3 months in advance. Consider booking 6 months to a year ahead for larger events or popular dates. This gives you a better chance of securing your preferred venue and helps with planning other details like food and entertainment.
