Seattle Beer Gardens Rental Checklist

So you’ve decided to rent a beer garden in Seattle. Fantastic! Since you’re already here, we hope to give you a fab checklist for the rental process. Since you’re probably booking the space for some cool event, it’s better that you have everything in check for the day. So, without further ado, let’s get into the details!

• Budget. You may have heard that beer garden parties are cheap and easy to throw together—but that's not always the case. You'll want to make sure you have enough money to rent a big enough event space. If you want to rent the space more affordably, don't go overboard with decorations or food—get creative! You can always try to do some DIY or provide some homemade catering if you need snacks to go along with your beverages (that is, if the venue allows it). Try to negotiate as much as possible and see where it gets you. 
• Type of event. Consider the type of event you're planning before deciding on your guest list. Are you hosting an intimate gathering or throwing an extravagant cocktail party? Either way, having fewer people will keep costs down. And if it’s just a friendly gathering, why not try to split the cost among you and your friends? 
• Location. The location of your beer garden matters as much as anything else. Consider how much space is available and what kind of atmosphere will be created by the potential space you’d like to book. It’s also good to consider if there are parking spaces nearby and if the venue is easy to get to by public transport. Also, if you’re planning to make some noise, ensure the space is suitable for such shenanigans. 
• Guest List. A smaller guest list will keep costs down. On another note, if you're hosting a large gathering that doesn't already have a built-in crowd of guests, it can be helpful to have someone (or multiple people) who can help spread the word about your event. They could invite people they know who might enjoy coming out for good conversation and a few drinks. This goes for any product launches or promotional events. Just make sure you know roughly how many people are coming since the capacity of the venues varies. On average, you can expect to have enough space for roughly 80 to 100 people max. 
• Menu. If you're serving food, make sure your menu has enough variety and is accessible for all types of dietary restrictions and preferences. Don't neglect vegetarian options, as well as vegan, and gluten and dairy free. Make sure to include snacks that people can eat while drinking beer. Some good options are chips, pretzels, and popcorn. Think about what foods might go well together, like pickles and hot dogs!
• Beverages. Apart from beers, you might also want to have some soft drinks available so guests who don’t drink beer have something else. And in that case, it could be good to try a BYOB option. As for beer drinkers? Make sure staples are included in the venue’s offer! Stout beer, pale ale, lager, kriek, pilsner, witbier - all the good stuff! Check out with the host what they have to offer. If you know that grand beer lovers are coming to your event, it might be worth renting a location that provides a lot of different variants!
• Decor. Last but not least, don’t forget about the decorations. Of course, if the gathering is simple, there is no need to decorate the space, but if you’re getting ready for an event, it could be good to get something that looks presentable. Perhaps some balloons and decor on the tables? Take your pick!
