A few tips:

• Look for spots with a minimum spend instead of a flat rental fee—this way, your money goes toward food and drinks.

• Book during off-peak hours (weekday evenings or afternoons) for better rates.

• Consider smaller venues—these spaces can be just as fun, and you won't have to pay for unnecessary rooms.

• Split costs with friends and make it a joint graduation party if you want a bigger space without blowing your budget.

You can book bars like Rick & Roxy's in Cow Hollow, restaurants such as Sazerac on Union Street, or even art galleries like Michelle Thomas Fine Art Gallery. If you're planning something unique, consider a party limo from All Bay Limo, a private lounge, or a magic-themed event space like The Magic Patio in Bernal Heights.

If you're planning a weekend party, especially in May or June, book at least 1 - 2 months in advance—graduation season gets crazy! For a weekday event, you might have more flexibility, and you could even score a better deal. If you're eyeing a prime spot with a killer view or a popular bar, don't wait too long—those places fill up fast.
