Yes, many engagement party venues in New York City allow you to bring your own catering. This can be a great way to save money and personalize the menu to your preferences. So, once you find the event venue that you like, we recommend checking with the manager beforehand, as some may have restrictions or additional fees for outside catering! One of our favorite options is 86 Ralph, located near the Gates Avenue subway station. It offers an event space that allows outside catering. There's no buyout fee or corkage fee for bringing in your own food and drinks, and the venue is equipped with a small kitchen area for food preparation and storage.
Here are a few tips for budgeting for an engagement party in New York City:
- Set a realistic budget and stick to it. Set your limits and stick to them.
- Pick a non-traditional and affordable venue. Consider hosting the engagement party in a private garden or a community center, which often have lower rental fees compared to traditional event venues.
- Cut costs on food and drinks. Look for the party venues that allow external catering or bring your own alcohol (BYO) to save on catering expenses. Another option is to have a potluck-style engagement party where guests can contribute dishes and drinks, reducing the overall cost.
- Use DIY decor to save money. Consider creating your own centerpieces, table settings, and other decorations using affordable materials. This not only adds a personal touch to the event but also helps cut down on the expenses of hiring professional decorators.
