Hiring a private party venue in Manchester – essential tips:

  • Start planning as early as possible – The best private party venues book out months in advance. The sooner you start the search, the more choice you have. What’s more, if you start planning your private party early, you’ll have more time to sort everything out (and the whole process will be less hectic, too).
  • Write down your guest list – This is particularly important for bigger events, weddings, for example. Preparing the list in advance will help you with choosing the right sized private party venue and estimating the budget for your event.
  • Consider the location – Spinningfields, full of luxury private party venues, is the perfect location for an elegant feast, while Northern Quarter usually hosts more alternative events. Manchester is big and diverse, but with our insider knowledge picking the right area is headache-free. Last but not least, don’t forget to check the venue’s transport links and make sure there’s enough parking space nearby.

On a tight budget? Don’t stress. We love helping people find their best venue deals! Here are the best tips for hiring a cheap private party venue in Manchester:

  • Aim for self-catering venues – Manchester is full of private party venues that allow external catering. This solution helps you save a significant amount of money. What’s more, if any of your guests have special catering needs (for example halal, kosher, vegan or gluten-free) it might be easier to meet their needs by choosing self-catering.
  • Hire a community hall – Community centres are usually much cheaper than other spaces in Manchester. That makes them an excellent private party venue option if you’re on a budget. Most community halls in Manchester work on dry hire basis, which means you only pay for hiring the space, while organising other aspects of the event is entirely up to you.
  • Choose a smaller venue – If you’re organising a private party for 50 people, there’s no need to hire a space that’s able to accommodate twice as many. We’re listing a large variety of beautiful small party venues in Manchester – check them out and enquire directly with the ones you like the most.
  • Decide on a minimum spend – Minimum is perfect for parties. This hire option will allow you to book a party venue basically for free. All you will have to do is spend a set amount of money on food and drinks. Anything you order from the venue ahead of the event will contribute to this amount also! What if you don’t cover the minimum spend? If you don’t  quite make it to the threshold by the end of the event, you will need  to pay the amount remaining. Or buy something within this price range.
  • Check out different locations – In some locations, prices for party venues may be cheaper than in the city centre, for instance. Which locations are we talking about? Salford Quays, with party venues starting from £350 per day! Harpurhey for as little as £10 per person per day or in Piccadilly where prices start from £400 per day.
  • Choose off-peak hours and days – On some days and hours the venues aren’t particularly crowded. Because of this, owners let the venues at lower prices to attract more clients. Usually party venues like pubs and restaurants are cheaper in the week during early hours.

Booked South Terrace and Lounge at King Street Townhouse
The venue was absolutely superb, the staff were amazing on the night and very welcoming/accommodating. They really gave us an amazing experience. The food was also fantastic and the room itself is a brilliant size for a good sized gathering of people. We had ~ 60 and it was a perfect size for that.

Booked Private Ballroom at Black Dog NQ
- Everything about the experience was incredibly smooth, from the booking to the payment to the day itself - Staff we’re all super accommodating, friendly and answered any questions I had. - They helped me sort out the food situation as they weren’t doing food that night because of kitchen problems I believe, but I spoke to the manager and she let me and my friends order food to the venue instead as food was originally promised, the night couldn’t have gone any better I was super happy with the service and will definitely be booking here again! :)
