Homes – Cozy and Laid-back Gatherings. You want the familiarity and comfort of a home party, but your house is too small to fit all your guests. In that case, rent a house venue like a historic barn house or a picture-ready home in East Central Edmonton that has a skylight, large windows, and two bedrooms you can decorate or use for sleepovers.
Game Rooms – For Added Thrill and Adventure. Say goodbye to boring celebrations and take your party to new heights. Gather your friends, colleagues, and family in a game room and make entertainment the center of your event. A billiard-themed entertainment center with darts, ping pong, and pool tables will keep everyone entertained throughout the night, while escape rooms give a different level of satisfaction and adrenaline rush for small groups.
Restaurants – Memorable Culinary Experiences. Restaurants and other dining places aren't exactly what you call a unique venue, but their distinct features, amenities, and services are enough to make you want to host your next event there. Check out one of Edmonton's upscale Italian restaurants or invite your guests to feast on clay bowls of stews, hand-pulled noodles, and fresh dumplings at a Chinese restaurant with a cool vibe.
Banquet Halls – Event-Ready and Professional. Since banquet halls are made to host events, you know your party is in the experts' hands. You can pick a full-service banquet hall that takes care of everything from food and drinks to staffing or a dry hire that allows you to personalize the space to your liking.
Outdoor Spaces – Open-Air Soirees. Parks and gardens are an obvious choice but also consider unconventional spaces like outdoor patios, rooftops with views of the North Saskatchewan River valley, farms, and event boathouses. The sunshine, fresh air, breathtaking scenery, and the chance to witness the glorious sunset and twinkling stars are just some of the things you’ll enjoy in your outdoor soiree.
Whether it’s a business-related function or a party for family and friends, it’s not always easy to put together a successful event. Leave your worries behind; allow us to help you with this guide, so you can get the party started.
Pick a Convenient Location – Where you host your private party can affect guests’ overall experience, so have to do it right. Edmonton has numerous neighborhoods and each has a distinctive vibe and unique offerings. You might want to start your search at the heart of the city where most business facilities, entertainment, shopping, and dining options are found. If none of the venues appeal to you, then you can start exploring other places like Aspen Gardens or Garneau, one of Edmonton’s oldest neighborhoods.
Shop for Supplies – You’ll need more things than décor and furniture. There are also tableware, tents for outdoor spaces, AV equipment, plates, serving dishes, and other items to add to the list. You can go to a rental shop to rent instead of buying brand-new supplies you’ll rarely use.
Create the Menu – Before you think about adding all your favorite party food and drinks to the menu, consider what type of party you’d like to host. For example, finger foods go well with cocktail parties, while food trucks are great for outdoor gatherings, festivals, concerts, and fairs.
Get Help from Friends or Vendors – Don’t be afraid to ask for help from your friends or family. Trust us; they’ll be happy to assist. You just need to ask. If they can’t, then hire an event manager or coordinator to unload the burden.
