Choose a venue that suits your group size and vibe. Make sure to confirm if the bar allows external decorations so you can personalize the space with balloons, banners, or themed table settings. Some venues may even have built-in lighting or quirky decor, which you can use to set the mood without much extra work. 

For entertainment, look for bars that offer live music, DJs, or even private areas with AV equipment for custom playlists or karaoke. If you're planning to include food, many bars offer catering packages or can suggest local vendors, so you can avoid the hassle of bringing in external food. Finally, consider booking the space for off-peak hours (morning or afternoon) or on a weeknight to get better rates.

You should book a space at least 3 to 6 months before your event. This is particularly important in high-demand areas like Northbridge and the Perth CBD, where venues tend to get booked out quickly, especially during peak seasons like summer (July to September) and the holiday period.
