The Complete Small Party Venues Rental Guide

Miami has a variety of venues to choose from, and deciding which would suit your event best can be overwhelming. Here are a few things to remember when renting small party spots in Miami:

Location

When choosing a venue location, consider which part of the city it is in, so it's easily accessible by public transportation and not too far away from everyone's accommodations. If anyone is coming from out of town, let them know how to get to the venue and maybe recommend a hotel near the event space.

Budget 

When it comes to venue rental, budget is everything. What's your upper price limit, and which amenities will you need inside the venue to ensure the party's perfect? Are you up for a BYOB option, which will drastically reduce the cost, or would you prefer to have everything paid for and taken care of during the event? One top tip is that if you're planning to invite a small number of people (under 20 guests), booking the venue per person is likely the most cost-efficient option. 

Capacity 

Make sure that the venue is suitable for your event size. How small would you like your venue to be? Are we talking about a micro party (up to 20 people?) or a small party with 50 to 100 guests? Some venues offer more guest space if the party is cocktail-style and people mostly stand instead of sit and dine. Make sure your guests RSVP so you know who's coming!

Decorations

What would a party be without a theme, balloons, and fun decor? The internet is brimming with cool ideas, from vintage 70s/80s to 2000s styles. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a budget-friendly bash, Hang up balloons, decorate cakes, and prepare some personalized goodies—depending on the party and your mood, go all out with the decorations if you wish.

Beverages

It's time to make some excellent beverage choices. Check the restaurant's menu and see if they prepare your favorite cocktails. Some venues make their own signature drinks, which we really recommend you try. Of course, if the small party involves children, make sure that they have some nice fruit juice and lemonade options, too. And as we mentioned before, a BYOB option is good, especially if your party exceeds the 10-person count.
