To cut costs, consider booking during off-peak times like weekdays or outside of the summer months. Some venues offer lower rates for non-prime hours. Opt for a minimum spend agreement instead of a hire fee, which can save money if your group meets the spending requirement. Additionally, ask about package deals that include food and drinks, as these can often be more cost-effective.
Start by checking the venue's capacity to ensure it can comfortably accommodate your guest list. Look for amenities such as weather protection (e.g., heaters or covered areas), a good sound system if you plan to have music, and available catering options. Also, consider the venue's location and convenience, ensuring it's easy for your guests to reach. Finally, read reviews or get recommendations to ensure the venue has a good reputation for service and ambiance.
