Northbridge is a great place to start looking for other party halls with function rooms, and we suggest you then try moving north to Leederville and Mount Lawley. Places such as Partystar are also worth a look if you don't mind heading a bit father out of the city. You might also consider one of the local function centres that can be hired either as a dry hire or via an event package. Local community centres or dedicated venues for hire such as the Empire Function Centre are worth a look and are good choices if you are considering saving money by hunting down a BYO venue.

Scarborough is quite far from the inner city, but it's got a great mix of old and new. You can discover the beautiful historic architecture of the suburbs while hosting your celebration at a posh hotel's function space across West Coast Highway with its breathtaking ocean views. Or why not have a business meeting at a conference room with any amenities you need closer to the Innaloo suburb? These corporate venues can be hired for far less than their counterparts in the city centre. Northbridge is much closer to the Perth City Centre, but it has plenty of affordable options for any budget. It's Perth's hot spot for nightlife, but it also has lots of big and small function venues that are relatively cheap and come with plenty of character. If your event needs a bit more quirkiness and a modern feel, Roe Street has everything you need from private dining rooms at the restaurants featuring creative menu options to ultra-modern function spaces for those on a budget which give you the flexibility to create your own design for the event.
Check the venue's policy regarding outside catering or bringing your own food (BYO). It gives you more control over what you serve at your event and how much it costs. If you prefer to hire a function space with in-house catering, consider the ones with minimum spend pricing. This means that you have to spend a certain amount on food, beverages and other products or services during your event. This can help you limit your spending and you won’t have to worry about the hire fee, which comes for free. If you're flexible with dates and times, you might want to consider booking the venue during off-peak periods—that way, you can get a better deal on both hire fees and catering services.
