You'll find minimum spend venues in various sizes, from smaller spots to larger venues; keep in mind that the type of space and your chosen layout will affect the capacity!

In Los Angeles, a minimum spend venue requires you to commit to paying a set minimum on food or beverage costs during the event instead of a venue hire fee. After agreeing on the amount, your group must meet or exceed this spend through purchases. You will need to cover any shortfall.
When your event needs guaranteed exclusivity and service, minimum spends ensure venues dedicate ample resources just for you. If you'll have over 75 guests and want privacy, consistent drinks/food, and customized décor, a minimum spend rental makes venues cater the space and staff specially for your vision. It allows hosts freedom to craft an upscale experience worthy of their guest list. It works great for a small intimate wedding party or a company’s end of year party, for instance.
