How to Save Money on Party Venue Rentals in LA
-
Set a Budget (and Stick to It): Start by deciding how much you can spend overall and break it down into categories like venue, food, drinks, entertainment, and decor. This will help you stay realistic and make smarter choices from the start.
-
Use a Venue Platform to Compare Prices: Search platforms like Tagvenue let you filter by price, capacity, and rules like BYOB or external catering. This saves time and helps you avoid overspending.
-
Choose the Right Size: Don’t pay for space you won’t use. If you're inviting 40 people, don’t book a venue for 100. Small spaces not only cost less, they feel fuller and more fun with fewer guests.
-
Explore Less Touristy Areas: Popular spots like Beverly Hills and Hollywood come with a premium. Check out neighborhoods like Highland Park, North Hollywood, or East Hollywood for great venues at lower rates, you might just find a hidden gem.
-
Bring Your Own Food & Drinks: Venues that allow external catering or BYOB can save you hundreds. Potlucks work great for casual parties, just organize a shared list so guests don’t all bring the same thing. Be sure to check for corkage or service fees.
-
Look for Package Deals: Some venues offer all-inclusive per-person pricing that bundles venue rental, food, drinks, and staffing. These packages can simplify planning and offer better value, especially for larger groups.
-
Consider a Cash Bar: If you’re hosting in a bar, consider a cash bar where guests pay for their own drinks. Or, offer a free welcome drink or limited-time open bar to keep costs down while still treating your guests.
-
Keep It Simple: You don’t need a high-end setup to throw a great party. Use your own speakers, keep decorations minimal, and reuse or borrow what you can (tableware, lighting, etc.). Focus on what guests will actually remember.
-
Be Flexible with Your Date: Weekday and daytime events are usually cheaper. If you’re not set on a Saturday night, ask your venue if they offer discounts for off-peak bookings, you might be surprised how much you can save.

Verified Reviews of Cheap Party Venues in Los Angeles, CA
This place is amazing. I was here from 8am to 2am, literally. It's gorgeous. The staff is wildly helpful. The bathroom is pristine. We accommodated a zoom session, easy music and mics. Honestly, I loved it, and would book again.
We hosted a charity fundraiser at St. Felix and John and the staff were excellent - communicative and supportive during planning and on the day. Staff working the event were helpful and on it, food was tasty and plentiful. It’s a really gorgeous space - no complaints.
This location is very spacious, worth the price and easy to communicate with. Had a lovely time. At this location, highly recommend.
Mike was great! The venue was perfect for my going away gathering. It had everything we needed, was aesthetically pleasing, and clean.
Beautiful space for a get-together. It has a super fun vibe, and the decor is inviting. You won't need to do much but bring your group and the fun! The venue took care of everything else for us.
Perfect venue for my event of about 50 people. The staff was so helpful and friendly and took all the stress out of hosting my event in their space. I will for sure be hosting another event here again in the near future.
Customer service and catering was excellent. We had a surprise birthday party for my husband and the entire staff was excellent!
