Guide to celebrating a special occasion:

• Venue. Before you start the search for the ideal restaurant, you must answer one important question: what is your special occasion? Are you hosting a birthday party, celebrating a recent engagement, or organizing your best friend’s baby shower? There are many options when it comes to Los Angeles restaurants, so make sure the place you choose matches your event as closely as possible. The place’s decor and ambiance are one thing but don’t also forget about the venue’s capacity. After all, the last thing you want to happen on your special occasion is too many people squeezed into a small room. The number of guests will also determine whether you’ll be renting a private dining room or the entire restaurant.

• Budget. Another important factor when choosing the perfect spot that you can’t omit is your budget! Calculate how much you can spend on your event - remember to include venue rental fees, catering costs, and any other extras such as decorations or entertainment. Once everything is clear, it’s time to set the price range in Tagvenue’s search engine and browse through the results that meet your requirements.

• Food. It’s such an important part of any event that perhaps we should put it first on our list?! Anyway: the food. You will be delighted with the wide variety of restaurants found all over Los Angeles. You can choose from classic American burgers, Japanese sushi, vegan and vegetarian spots, as well as Mexican el restaurantes. But before you make up your mind on the cuisine, think carefully in what form you’d like to have it served: are you going for a formal sit-down dinner or an open buffet? And finally, don’t forget to ask other attendees whether they have any dietary restrictions. Whatever you decide on, let us assure you that all of your (and your guests’) culinary dreams will come true in the City of Angels.

• Decorations. First things first, check with the venue of your choice whether they allow your own decorations. Once you get a “YES”, you can start planning everything! Think about the amount of decorations you’d like to put up and what kind of ornaments can’t be missed for the event. You can either choose the classics like balloons and streamers or order custom decorations made especially for the special occasion.

• Extra facilities. Think about whether you’ll need any extra facilities to run your event smoothly. Will there be any people with disabilities attending your party? If so, make sure to choose a restaurant that has all of the appropriate facilities. Are you planning to become a DJ for one day and play your own music? Check with the venue of your choice about the availability of a sound system and ask the venue manager if you’ll be able to put on your own playlist.
