Party venue rental tips and tricks

When searching for a party venue, you have to remember a couple of important tips to make the rental process easier. Make sure to take some notes as you check out our rental guide. Once you get down some of our tips and tricks, you’re going to have a great rental experience. So what should you look out for when renting a private party venue? 

Definitely one of the most important things is to decide on the location of the venue. Where would you like to have the party? Which part of the city will be the ideal area for your private event? Are you looking to rent a place near another location? Perhaps you want to party somewhere near your sleeping location, or need a venue closer to an airport because you have people traveling from out of town? You might want to be closer to any well-known tourist destinations if you want to visit a couple of places on the day of your event. Think this through, perhaps in collaboration with your guests, as this may be a deciding factor.

Another important aspect of renting is the price. Have you thought about how much you’d like to spend on a venue for this event? Are you splitting the cost with anyone, or are you the only person who’s going to be paying for the venue? To make the location more affordable, you can check which days of the week offer lower prices, and if there is a BYOB option available. Just remember about the corkage fee. Talk to the manager, as more often than not you’ll be able to come up with a solution that will make both of you happy. You can also check if the private venue has a minimum spend rental fee, or if you can pay per person. If you’re inviting a smaller group of people to your event, then the latter might be a more affordable option. Think about the number of guests you’re planning to invite before you book!

Decide which types of venues are most suitable for the type of private occasion that you are planning. Wedding parties, corporate events and any type of larger parties are probably better to have in venues such as private dining rooms or lounges, while smaller parties, and more casual ones, can be held in bars and small private rooms. And of course you still need to choose if you prefer to have an indoor or an outdoor option. Since the weather is so lovely in Houston, you can opt for outdoor parties in the fall, winter and spring. An outdoor party is certainly going to be a more original option. Your choices are endless, so narrow down your search by deciding on your favorite!

A good strategy is to check out the less in demand options, like private venues which are further away from the city center. Actually, there are so many hidden gems in these areas, you wouldn’t believe it!  Don’t stop with your search at the first page, and don’t get discouraged by the first few venues if they are not what you’re looking for. You’d be surprised what awaits you here on Tagvenue. Take your time to look for the perfect private event space, and check areas which you didn’t think to check before. Locations which are away from the city center can be just as enticing, and often more affordable, so don’t limit yourself if you don’t have to. Houston offers unique places at every corner, be prepared to be on the lookout for them.

Last but not least, when renting, make sure to do everything on time. You wouldn’t believe how many people decide to book venues at the last minute, and it turns out that it’s already booked on the date they wanted. If you wait too long, someone is bound to take it. And that’s because party venues are in demand and very popular. We told you, Houston likes to party! If you’re looking to rent a venue for a smaller number of guests, then we recommend renting a private venue at least 6 weeks in advance. For big parties, 6 months is actually the better option to ensure availability. Just make sure you have everyone RSVP, so you don’t pay more for people who aren’t going to be there.

Feel more comfortable now with this useful information up your sleeve? If you keep all of these in mind, you’ll be able to rent without trouble in no time. It really is an easy process if you think the details through. And if you still need some additional help, then feel free to drop us an email. We’ll be happy to answer all of your questions.
