How to Plan a Rooftop Event in New York
Hosting an event can be fun, especially when looking for the perfect event venue. What's not so fun is tracking expenses and staying within a budget. Here are some key things to do to make the most of your investment.
Book the venue as early as possible.
Booking your dream venue early on will not only ensure you get the first pick of your favorite spaces but also save you a considerable amount. You can also save money by booking for the offseason or planning your next corporate event for a weekday.
Consider a more limited menu.
When deciding on a menu, keep in mind that in the average party, food & beverages alone account for more than 30% of the total event budget. Factor in that you're planning a party in one of the most expensive cities in the US and offering a smaller menu and doing the catering yourself becomes even more appealing.
What amenities does the venue offer?
Are you hosting a movie night or a night event? You'll need sound systems, a big display, and lighting rigs. Figure out what the venue offers and what you actually need. Do you really need that fancy mini golf course for your corporate events? Don't overpay for something you don't need.
