Things to Consider for Your Party in Santa Clarita

From intimate gatherings to corporate meetings, an event venue in Santa Clarita is always a great choice. That said, you’ll want to consider all the advantages and disadvantages before diving in head first to avoid party planning errors.

Advantages

  • Surrounded by protected wilderness, Santa Clarita is simply gorgeous, brimming with outdoor options to take advantage of the picturesque landscape.

  • Santa Clarita is significantly cheaper than Beverly Hills and much quieter than Simi Valley, but easily commutable to both.

  • The neighborhoods in the city are safe, so you can freely choose a venue location that you like without worrying too much about your safety.

Disadvantages

  • Summer temperature spikes can be intense. You’ll want to avoid mid-afternoon activities in direct sun.

  • Transportation options can be few, so you'll need to rent a car or private shuttle if you don't have one.

  • The cost of living here is higher than the national average, which means throwing a complete party will be more costly than in other cities.

What Kind of Venue Can I Rent for Parties in Santa Clarita?

From large events to more intimate gatherings, Santa Clarita boasts dozens of indoor and outdoor options to accommodate your crew. Here’s a snapshot of what your special events could look like when booking with Giggster:

Serene Backyards – A Celebrity-Style Pool Party. What’s the best part of renting a Santa Clarita estate that’s tucked into the hillside? This versatile event space holds a ton of peopleno need to worry about your guest count! With high curb appeal, an afternoon lounging by a turquoise infinity pool, pretty palm trees, and a desert landscape, it will leave your guests thinking they’ve found heaven on earth.

Spanish Ranches – A Southwest Celebration. Embrace your inner equestrian at one of these sprawling countryside estates. With acres of outdoor spaces, rustic touches, and horses galore, a ranch is the perfect place for any social event, ranging from corporate retreats to cowgirl-themed bachelorettes.

Sport Court – Infuse Athletics into your Next Event. Tennis courts, basketball courts, beach volleyball courts…Oh my! Well-suited to launch parties for new activewear lines, brand shoots for new social campaigns, or a birthday party for your most competitive friend, a sporty site can be tailored to fit nearly any occasion.

Valley Mansions – Intimate, Open-Air Weddings. Can you imagine your bridal party posed for pictures in front of the mountains, mingling on the terrace, and sipping champagne from European fountains before breaking it down on the dance floor? While these grandiose reception spaces are the ideal location for weddings under the California stars, they would also be the perfect spot to host other functions like family reunions and rehearsal dinners.

How to Plan a Party in Santa Clarita

Not sure where to start? Consider Giggster your party planning concierge. Here are some of our highly recommended first steps that will help you hit the ground running:

Outline Expectations – If you’re hosting on someone else’s behalf, it’s really important that you understand what the guest of honor wants. It doesn’t need to be a full-blown collaboration, but be sure to schedule a meeting of the minds so everyone can enjoy themselves come party day. Do they have a creative vision? Is there someone they really don’t want you to invite? Remember, it’s just as crucial that you understand what they don’t like as what they do.

Center Yourself – Maybe you’re throwing your own birthday bash. In that case, it’s time to get serious about what’s important to you. It’s easy to get caught up in what everyone else would enjoy, but today is your day. If a wild, out-there theme is your jam, honor that. If you’re an introvert who doesn't feel too comfortable with being the center of attention, don’t allow yourself to compromise on comfort because you think you’re supposed to.

Shop Around – You don’t need to book the first vendors you like! Take some time to browse the surrounding area, make inquiries, and get estimates before making food and beverage selections or hiring a photographer. This is the only way to ensure they're the right fit for your special event. After all, good things come to those who wait.

Schedule Your Time – Rather than creating a general to-do list prior to your party, sit down with a calendar and assign yourself tasks for each day leading up to it. This will help prevent you from dashing last-minute to the store. Try to keep as few of these tasks on party day as possible because new chores always pop up.

How to Save Money on Your Party in Santa Clarita

Even parties with massive budgets need to cut down on costs somewhere. If you do it in the right places, your guests will be none the wiser. Here are a few areas you can save instead of splurge that won’t immediately scream “low-cost event”:

Work with off-peak timing.

The more flexible you can be with your schedule, the more money you save. If your event can happen at any time of the year, great! Stick to the cooler months and avoid holiday periods for lower rates. Working around a specific occasion? Choose a weekday, or opt for a morning celebration over evenings. Make sure you balance your guests’ needs with the budget though or you might end up with fewer attendees!

Explore low-cost or no-cost entertainment.

The type of entertainment you book will vary drastically depending on the type of event you are throwing, but there’s almost always a lower-cost solution. Ask your friend Mike to DJ instead of hiring a local band, plan some no-equipment team-building games instead of heading to the local high ropes course, or set up a projector and watch a classic movie together for slumber party vibes. If you’ve already worked an elaborate meal into the budget, allow food to be the focal point of your event and take formal activities off the itinerary.

Make your own dessert.

Enlisting the help of a pro baker does not come cheap. If you’re operating on a tight budget, there’s nothing wrong with baking your own cake. And yes, you can use the box mix and no one will notice. If baking a cake seems too intense, there’s no rule that says you can’t serve chocolate chip cookies or ice cream cones instead. In that case, all you need to do is prep some fun toppings like fresh fruit, gummy bears, and sprinkles.
