Scheduling your event to take advantage of the best time of day often depends on the type of event and the ambience you want to create.
We also recommend taking the weather forecast into account when planning your event. During summer months, even early evenings can be quite warm. Consider offering shaded areas or fans if your event is later. Conversely, during winter, provide heaters or ensure the rooftop space is adequately heated for comfort in the evenings.
As a general guideline, booking at least 8 weeks to 6 months in advance is recommended to secure your preferred date and ensure that the venue can accommodate your event requirements. For larger events or during particularly busy periods, such as major festivals or events in the city, it may be prudent to book even further in advance, possibly up to a year ahead.
