How to book the perfect Christmas party venue at the last minute

If you are looking for a Christmas party venue and you’re running short on time, these are some of the things to consider:

  • Is it possible to book a party on a weekday? Almost all venues will be booked up on weekends and on a Friday but it might still be possible to secure somewhere good on a weekday. If you’re flexible with times you’re much more likely to find a venue that meets your requirements. It might be cheaper than booking at one of the more popular times as well.
  • Look for cancellations. It’s not often that big companies cancel Christmas parties but it does happen. There could be a waiting list for some venues but if you find an opportunity at the right time, it could work out well for you. Consider shopping around for cancellations.
  • Compromise! Accept the fact that you may not get the Christmas party of your dreams at this late stage and start looking at venues with an open. Make a resolution to begin looking at venues earlier next year rather than feeling annoyed or disappointed in your choices this year.
  • Work with a professional events agency. They will have access to many Christmas party venue opportunities that you wouldn’t be able to book yourself, thanks to the relationships they have directly with venues. If there are 2019 venue cancellations, they are the people most likely to know about it. If you build up a good relationship they might even be able to help plan your party next year.
  • Look into group parties. This is where a venue hosts a party with a certain theme and various groups of people all attend the party together. This is one of the best ways to get the most for your money. You can attend an impressive party in a beautiful venue without having to book it privately.

You will still be able to book a great Christmas party venue for your 2019 party. It may just require some flexibility, some creativity, and some thinking outside the box. If you approach the task in the right way there will be options you hadn’t even thought about.
