Party Venues in London and Further Afield What makes a party? The guests certainly, the food and drinks undoubtedly, the weather (sometimes)…however, perhaps one of the most crucial ingredients for a really good party is the venue. Whether it’s in a private house or garden, a village field or at a famous and aweinspiring landmark, a venue can make or break a party. Party venues don’t have to be expensive, and if your house or home is suitable, that can make life much easier, but of course a large company, a corporate organisation, or someone simply with a bigger than average number of guests, will all need a proper venue. Lots of party venues have other uses – a church or town hall, a public garden or country house. Museums and monuments often make great venues, and of course lots of London attractions double up as great party venues too, with their own events teams and lists of preferred suppliers. Popular London party venues include the Natural History Museum and The Science Museum, Madame Tussauds or The London Aquarium, Guildhall, Two Temple and Chelsea Hospital - the list is endless. These 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 party venues. Some of the best catering companies for example, such as Rocket, Alison Price and Create are all experienced in working at the country’s biggest and best venues. In fact they are pretty adept at turning any location at all into the perfect party! During Summer, you may be looking for a party venue with outside space, and there are plenty of extraordinary places to choose from. The Silver Fleet in London for example is a fleet of luxury vessels available for hire for a party – a party that then cruises the River Thames! Your guests are offered impressive panoramic river views, superb food by one of the UK’s top caterers - “rhubarb” food design – and some perfect party memories.
If you prefer a land-based venue in London, you could also consider The Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea. This venue is situated in the old Duke of York’s Barracks and couldn’t be a better space for West London events. As for the process of finding a perfect venue, the Internet has made that much easier. There are now a variety of event-led venue-hiring websites and organisations, which allow you to browse through all the venues located in a city. And good catering companies will also help you find the perfect venue when you have your date in mind. Companies such as London Launch can help you find London party venues, in fact they split up their venue searches into useful sub sections such as hotels, restaurants and bars, away day venues, marquee venues, and boats, yachts and moving venues –don’t forget you can party on an old routemaster bus too! All making the job of finding a party venue much easier. Wherever you are looking to hold your party or event, and whatever that event might be product launch, wedding or corporate gala dinner - once you’ve found the perfect party venue you are halfway there. - Author Sara Allom View Source: Rhubarb Food Design – London Party Venues
