How to organize a private dining party? 

There are many things to keep in mind when organizing a private dining event in NYC. In case you missed something, we’ve prepared a list of what to look out for before your dining room gathering.

Location

Have you decided which part of the city you would like to host your small private party in? New York City is large, so if you’re organizing a private bash for your closest friends or family, it could be a good idea to ask them if they have any location preferences. Check out how easy it is to reach the restaurant, and how close it is to certain subway or bus stations. A lot of small private dining rooms at Tagvenue are spread out across the city's boroughs, so figure out which areas are of interest to you!

Budget

How much are you willing to spend on your private dining experience? New York City has a reputation for being quite pricey, but you can find plenty of affordable restaurants with private dining rooms as well. Want some tips on how to make the booking experience more budget friendly? We recommend that you check if the restaurants offer any BYOB options, which can reduce the cost of the venue rental. If you’re a fan of home cooked meals, but prefer having someone else wash the dishes for you, then you’re going to love this option. If the situation allows it, you can opt for splitting the bill with your guests. This is a great solution if your private dining option involves a get together with friends. And if all else fails, try to negotiate the price with the manager of the venue, who knows, maybe you’ll be able to get a few dollars off your private dining event!

Guest List

How many people are you planning to invite? Are these just your closest family or friends, or are you having some special guests coming as well? Perhaps you’re throwing an intimate networking party, or an integration for your employees? Whatever the occasion may be, and whoever you plan to have at your small private dining room party, make sure that your guests RSVP, so you don’t overpay for the venue. Also, it’s good to just have a peace of mind about who’s coming, and who’s not. 

Date and Time

This is one of the most important aspects of private restaurant venue rental! Chosen a date and time yet? Most dining events take place somewhere during the afternoon or evening, but if you want to, you can always opt for a great breakfast or brunch. Enjoy a delicious meal during early hours, and it can actually save you a couple of bucks as well. Managers like to reduce the price at unconventional hours. Once you’re set on the date, book the venue preferably around 6 weeks in advance. 

Decor

Have you thought about the types of decorations you would like to have at your dining party? The decor can make your special event much greater. From home-made accessories, to beautiful flower arrangements. As long as it’s not glitter, and it’s not messy, the venue should have no problem with you bringing in something extra. Maybe you’d like to bring something that will be unique to your guests? Search the web for some fun decor ideas and transform your small private dining room into a setting that truly amazes!

Cafe Skye was such an intimate space for a dinner with friends. Josh the bartender/waiter was so kind and patient with my excited bunch of friends. Every interaction I had with Cameron about setting up the dinner and exact details was lovely! He was kind and accommodating, making sure that it was special for my birthday! Loved that everyone got to pay their own tab and there was no down payment required!
