How to lower the cost of a birthday party venue in Melbourne?

There are plenty of cheap birthday party venues for hire in the city. When exploring these venues, you should start by focusing on a few key elements:

  • Choose an Affordable Venue Type: You should start your search by exploring inexpensive venue types such as community centres, parks or clubs. You can also check unconventional venues like rooftop bars or beer gardens with minimum spends during off-peak hours or function rooms at pubs.
  • Don’t Overpay: Some venues will require you to spend a minimum amount on food and drinks instead of an hourly rate. This can be cost-effective if you plan on spending that amount anyway. However, you should compare minimum spends across different venues to find the best deal. If you choose to go with a venue that charges an hourly rate, try to negotiate, especially if booking during off-peak times.
  • Reduce the Cost of Your Catering. If the venue allows you to bring your own food and drinks, you can save on catering costs. However, some BYO (Bring Your Own) venues might have corkage fees (charges for bringing your own alcohol). You can search for these types of venues on our platform by using the BYO filter. 

There are many other strategies you can use to reduce the cost of your birthday party.
