  • Plan Your Menu - Good food and fabulous drinks are essentials you can’t miss out on! Make sure to offer a variety of options that cater to all dietary needs. If you know your crowd will like it, don’t be afraid to serve something with a twist. 
  • Consider Entertainment - If you want to host a fun party where people relax and enjoy their time, you need to think of entertainment options. Of course, music is a must-have but you could also consider preparing some fun drinking games and activities that will keep everyone entertained. 
  • Prepare for the Weather - London weather can be unpredictable, so be sure to plan for all eventualities.Make sure the venue you book has some plan B options in case of rain or a heatwave. 
  • Decorate the Venue - Adding some decorations to your venue can help create a festive atmosphere. Also, it will make the event more personal. Consider using bunting, balloons, or fairy lights to create a cosy and welcoming vibe.
  • Have Fun - Finally, remember to have fun! Hosting a summer party can be a bit overwhelming, but it's also a great opportunity to relax, socialise, and enjoy the summer weather with your friends and family.

Booked Exclusive hire at Savage Garden
5.0
Amazing venue and staff. Everything from the outset was clearly organised and the team are fantastic. What makes Savage Garden different to other venues is that it's clear they take great interest in your event and work closely with you to bring your vision to life. We hosted an event for around 200 people and it couldn't have gone more smooth, all feedback I have received has been incredibly positive! The food, venue and vibes are 10/10! Thank you again for helping us plan an amazing event

Booked The Lawn at The Jugged Hare

Excellent location for an after-work event in the heart of the City. The bar staff and event manager were great, however the staff serving the food were less so. When asked if one of the dishes was vegetarian they didn't know, and seemed annoyed that they had to find out.
