Private dining experiences in the Upper East Side are usually hired on a per person hire fee, which will range in price from $35-$70 per person, but there are outliers on both sides of this average. Many other restaurants charge a flat fee for private dining events, which will cost around $1000-$2500 on average. (All data from Tagvenue)
This may seem impossible, but minimum spend restaurants allow you to skip the hire fee. When you book a minimum spend restaurant, you commit to paying a certain amount of money over the course of your event. This figure can range from around $500-$2500 depending on the size of your party and the space. Minimum spend restaurants are great for larger parties so you can keep the per person spending to a minimum.
When you are planning a private dining event in the Upper East Side, you don’t always have to break the bank. One of the best ways to keep your spending at a manageable level is to find a BYOB restaurant, which will allow you to save a good amount of money on drinks. Aside from this, you can save money by keeping your guestlist exclusive, especially if the venue is paid for on a per person basis.
