Tips for Planning a Memorable 40th Birthday

  • Choose a Venue That Matches Your Vision
    Want a laid-back wine-and-cheese night or a full-on dance party? Decide early. Not every venue fits every party type, so narrow your search based on what you really want—Tagvenue’s filters make this easy.
  • Set a Smart Budget
    Include everything: venue hire, food, drinks, entertainment, and décor. Ask venues about per-person pricing, minimum spend deals, and BYOB options to keep things within budget.
  • Create a Thoughtful Guest List
    Your guest count sets the tone. Hosting 15 people? A cozy private room works great. More than 50? Look into lofts or banquet-style spaces with a bit more room to move.
  • Get the Menu Right
    Good food and drinks are a must. Some venues offer in-house catering, while others let you bring in your own. Want to elevate the night? Hire a mixologist to serve personalized cocktails or create a custom menu based on your favorite dishes.
  • Don’t Skip the Music
    Music sets the atmosphere. Whether it’s a playlist of tracks from your teens and twenties or a live band, tailor it to your crowd and the event flow, mellow for dinner, upbeat for dancing.
  • Add a Surprise Element
    Keep things fun and unexpected. Add a photo booth, games, a live performance, or even a custom cocktail bar. Small surprises make big memories.
  • Pick a Convenient Location
  • NYC is vast, so choose a spot that’s easy for your guests to reach. Venues near major subway lines (like in Manhattan, Williamsburg, or Long Island City) make for stress-free arrivals and exits.

Booked Trixie's at The Gem Saloon
5.0
The moment I walked up the stairs, I knew Trixie's at Gem Saloon was perfect for my event! The price of the bar and food package was very reasonable and the team was super easy to work. Everything was taken care of, including a mic and speaker for toasts, serving plates and utensils for the cake I brought, to-go boxes so food wouldn't go to waste, and even a personalized welcome sign! My friends were impressed and kept asking how I found the place :)

I had an amazing Birthday thanks to the staff he greeted us at my scheduled shoot with a pleasant smile.
