1. Finding the Right Place to Party - London Party Venues & Venue Hire
One of the most crucial ingredients for a really good party is the venue.
Whether the party is in a private house or garden, on a sun soaked French beach, or at a
famous and awe-inspiring London landmark, a venue can make or break a party.

Hiring a party venue, if you don’t have a suitable house or home, doesn’t have to be
expensive – some venues even allow you to use their space free of charge, as long as you
use their own caterers and bar suppliers for the party itself. But of course a large business or
company, a corporate organisation, or someone simply with a bigger than average
number of guests, will all need a proper party venue.
Lots of party venues have other uses. Museums and monuments often make great venues,
and of course lots of London tourist attractions double up as great London party venues
too, with their own events teams and so on. Popular London party venues include the
Natural History Museum and The Science Museum, Madame Tussauds or The London
Aquarium, Guildhall, The Roundhouse, The Design Museum or The Saatchi Gallery, in fact
the list of London party venues is endless.
These party venues often work with a list of preferred suppliers – the florists, party planners,
caterers, DJs, bands, and lighting & production companies that they feel do the best job
of creating parties in their spaces. Some of the best catering companies for example, such
as The Recipe, Eclare and Urban Caprice are all experienced in working in London’s
biggest and best venues.

And now, as Summer draws to a close and people turn their thoughts to the Christmas
party season, party venues with scope for real seasonal creativity start to appeal – places
with that little something special for the festive season, or venues that are just plain
extraordinary. The Silver Fleet in London for example is a fleet of luxury vessels available for
hire for Christmas parties – your guests are offered impressive panoramic river views, superb
food by one of the UK’s top caterers - “rhubarb” food design – and some perfect
Christmas party memories.
As for the process of finding the perfect venue, the Internet has made that much easier.
There are now a variety of event-led venue hire websites and organisations, which allow
you to browse through all the venues located in a city.
Of course, as times have been hard financially for some companies, some are looking into
cheaper party venues this year, or even ‘in-office’ events, with a bit more time and money
spent on creative decoration of the less exciting space. Stunning flowers and candles,
evergreen table decorations, swags of mistletoe and gorgeous twinkling lighting, can turn
even the most uninspiring corporate boardroom into a winter wonderland. And don’t think
the colour scheme has to be restricted to traditional reds and greens either. Colour co-
ordinating your Christmas table or venue is easy for those companies experienced in this
kind of thing - how about white and hot pink, or black and purple? The better event
production companies and in house design and décor departments can wave their
magic Christmas wand over anything!
Certainly finding the right party venue, be it in London or elsewhere, takes you more than
half way to having the perfect Christmas party – just don’t forget the Christmas tree and
mince pies!
