Whether you’re in charge of hosting your next corporate event or a holiday cocktail party for your closest friends, next-level event planning always starts with the perfect venue. Here’s a sneak peek of the best event venues in Paris, available on the Giggster app:
-
From blank canvas to fully curated spaces, our photography studios have tons of natural light and are perfectly sized for a small private gathering with an exclusive feel. Music studios are also an option with sound optimization if live performers are the highlight of your party plan.
-
If your crew appreciates a good brew above all else, heading to a craft beer purveyor should be your top choice. The microbrewery industry in Paris might take a backseat with wine bars and clubs in the city, but you can still rent out a few gems right here on the Giggster app.
-
To host an event with a certain “je ne sais quois”, choose a trendy local bar. Bursting with Parisian class, these cocktail lounges have gorgeous furniture, professional mixologists, low lighting, and killer playlists…you can’t do better than that!
-
It may be an unexpected choice, but Paris’s coworking spaces make phenomenal party venues with fully styled rooms and a wide variety of seating options from lounge areas to bar tops and dining tables. This is optimal for drop-in events or mix-and-mingle type get-togethers where there won’t be a central focus or activity at any given time.

Things to Consider for a Party in Paris
One of the perks of working with professional event planners is the wealth of knowledge they have of the city’s challenges that need to be navigated with care. Don’t worry! The DIY approach is totally doable with this cheat sheet for the Paris party scene.
Advantages
-
The wine and food is unmatched. If you’ve been dreaming of fine wine and a massive charcuterie spread, you’ve come to the right place.
-
Paris has extensive and efficient public transportation systems, making it easy for guests to get to your event and back home again.
-
Paris is inherently photogenic. With a rich history and tons of artistic heritage, there's plenty of striking historic architecture and greenspaces to enjoy.
Disadvantages
-
Especially in the summer, Paris is fairly overrun by tourists. Not only does this create a crowd to contend with, but also increased prices on goods and services, which may impact your party budget.
-
Bad weather is not uncommon. They recommend you never leave home without an umbrella so it should be obvious that a rain plan is a must, especially if your party is being hosted outdoors.
-
As a top tourist destination, petty crime rates are inflated, so you’ll want to remind your guests to be diligent on the journey home, especially if they are dressed to the nines.
What Kind of Venue Can I Rent for Parties in Paris?
Choosing from the most popular venues across Paris doesn’t mean sacrificing a unique space. Here are some of the top choices from our app, with every property promising a one-of-a-kind backdrop, well-suited to every niche theme and party type.
Cafes and Restaurants – Ultimate Parisian Feel. If treating your guests to good French food is top of your priority list, you need to rent out a private function room or do a total buyout of a local cafe. Whether you’re looking for pastries and morning coffees or a fully plated dinner, these events are guaranteed to be as sophisticated as they are delicious.
Chic Apartments – Get Cozy Indoors. A house party in a stunning loft in a historic Parisian walk-up is practically a right of passage. With stunning balcony views and a warm atmosphere, there’s no better place to share wine, charcuterie, and good stories with friends.
Stunning Event Halls – Unmatched Elegance. Need something with a large capacity for upcoming corporate events, weddings, or charity galas? These multi-level ballrooms boast dance floors, seating and service for plated dinners, premium AV systems, and fully-stocked bars. All that, plus they are drop-dead gorgeous, with high ceilings and massive chandeliers.
Photography Studios – Decorate to Your Heart's Desires. Who says you can't party in a photography studio? With blank walls and minimal furniture, these spaces allow you to get creative and be totally yourself.
Coworking Spaces – Trendy Yet Convenient. With tables and chairs already available, as well as a working kitchen, it's no wonder coworking spaces are also being used to host all kinds of parties. These are especially suitable for smaller corporate parties or casual get-togethers.
How to Plan a Party in Paris
Hosting events is an art, not a science. While we encourage you to get creative and explore all possibilities when planning your next event, here are a few tips that are universal, transforming you into the perfect host:
Set the Stage – For a successful party, you’ll want to create a lively atmosphere with the right decor. Spend some time browsing inspiration and shopping for the right pieces that suit your theme or overall vibe of your event.
Timing is Everything – Especially when scheduling corporate events, you’ll want to choose the right timing for the best balance of work and play, contributing to a more enjoyable experience for attendees all around. Schedule any business meetings for the start of your conference and allow plenty of time for socializing, dining, and entertainment afterward.
Hire Your Entertainment – Everyone loves a little live entertainment. You could go the traditional route with some live musicians, but you could also do something a little wild with acrobats, dancers, or live painters!
Consider and Map Out Transportation Options—Navigating transportation systems (even just calling taxis) at the end of the night can be overwhelming, especially if you’re from out of town or you’ve been drinking. Part of being a considerate host is taking care of your guests, so helping them find the best way home and keeping the info for cab companies handy would go above and beyond expectations.
How to Save Money on Your Party in Paris
Got money on your mind? Besides choosing a luxury event venue at an affordable price, there’s plenty you can do to bring your party to life with a minimal budget.
Take an eco-friendly approach.
Not only is this beneficial for the environment, but making eco-friendly party choices is easy on the wallet. It can be as simple as reducing or reusing (hello borrowed decor and thrift store finds!) when choosing what you need, but could also go as far as hosting outdoors or renting your party outfit rather than buying something new for single use.
Consider unexpected catering options.
If you’re throwing a smaller party, you might want to avoid hiring an industry pro and choose a more unexpected food provider. Simple takeout could be an option, food trucks would be an unforgettable addition, and there’s always the DIY approach if you know your way around the kitchen.
Use a cashback credit card for big expenses.
It may seem too good to be true but these little percentages here and there add up. Especially if you’re putting big corporate purchases on your card or knocking big-ticket deposits off your to-do list, there’s no reason not to make your money work harder for you.
