Benefits of renting restaurants with private rooms

You might be wondering why you need to rent a restaurant with a private room in the first place. Wouldn’t renting a table or two be just as good? Of course you can find pros and cons for any type of event space, but there are some things that you might want to consider before renting this type of space:

• How much you value your privacy. If you prefer to not have people snooping around your private party, then renting a space away from everyone else will give you the confidence  that no additional guests will take up your space. You’ll be sheltered away from the hustle of the rest of the venue, and if you don’t wish for others to know where you dine, but still want to hang out in the center of town, this might just be the ideal option for you.

• If a VIP experience is something you’re after. From time to time we all want to be treated in a special way. A private dining experience is bound to make you feel important. By renting a private space, you’re going to get the waitstaff to yourself, and you won’t have to worry about waiting for someone to collect your order. With some private rooms, you might also be presented with special beverage and food options. Make sure to ask the host of the venue what’s included in the offer.

• How many guests you’re planning to invite. Private rooms are usually not going over the 100 people mark. These spaces are especially perfect for gatherings of around 20 to 50 people. You can have a great small wedding or engagement celebration, a birthday party or a small networking event. However, if you wish to organize a bigger party, we suggest renting an entire venue, it just makes more sense.

• If you wish to decorate the space by yourself. The special occasion you might want to celebrate could benefit from some fab decor. By renting a venue with Tagvenue, you’ll have the opportunity to talk with the host beforehand about decor options, and more likely than not, you’ll be able to bring some lovely decorations for your special event. 

Venue rental tips and tricks

Now that you know why renting this type of space would be beneficial for you, why don’t we take a look at some other things you might want to consider before you book.

• Budget. With Tagvenue’s search engine, you can filter the prices, and exclude venues which are not really suitable for your budget. While San Diego has some expensive options, thankfully it has some lovely affordable ones as well. If we can offer some pro-tips on how to make the renting process more affordable, we suggest trying a BYOB option, negotiating a discount, and renting during the off-peak season. 

• Location. Is it important to you which part of the city the restaurant is located in? What’s the commuting situation like? If it’s not the best, perhaps it would be a good idea to rethink some stuff. Sometimes it’s better to splurge a bit more on the venue, rather than the transportation!

• Menu. Well, since you’re going to come to enjoy some great food, it would be good to know what type of cuisine it is! Check with the chef about what’s in the offer, and perhaps if any special additional options could be available just for you. You can always check with the host if any external catering is allowed if you decide that you want to rent a private event space, but you’re not a huge fan of the venue’s food selection.
• Additional amenities. Do you need any extra amenities? If there are any additional things which you may need when renting the space, contact the manager and make sure you’re not renting a space that’s missing something valuable to you.
