Establish your budget – Setting a clear budget is the essential first step in planning your summer party. It helps you define priorities and allocate funds effectively. Start by listing key areas such as venue hire, catering, entertainment, staffing, drinks, and décor. Think about what matters most to your guests, whether that’s food, atmosphere, or a memorable setting, and assign budget accordingly. Having a well-defined plan from the outset will guide your decisions and help prevent overspending.
-
Capacity and layout – A venue’s capacity isn’t just about numbers — it’s about how well the space works for your event. Consider guest flow, layout flexibility, and accessibility. A well-matched setup ensures a seamless experience, whether for drinks receptions or seated dining. To help you choose, we’ve listed the capacity and layout options for each venue in our 2025 Venue Guide.

Booking the right venues for the right event – The type of event you’re hosting should guide your choice of venue. A relaxed garden or courtyard space might suit team socials or informal celebrations, while a rooftop setting offers impact for client events or launches. Consider the tone, purpose, and expectations of your guests — the right setting will enhance the overall experience and help you create the right atmosphere from the outset.
