Advantages
Beachy, usually sunny, laid-back, and fun—that’s Santa Monica for you. It instantly puts you in the mood to party, and most outdoor celebrations here work.
With the iconic Pier, restaurants, bars, beaches, fun attractions like Santa Monica Playhouse, and an amazing selection of venues, everyone at your milestone birthday celebration will have a blast.
Santa Monica is centrally located and relatively easy to get to compared to other parts of LA, so guests at your private event can get to the location on time without much stress.
Disadvantages
Because Santa Monica is a popular and favored location, party and business event venues here can be more expensive than in other less desirable cities in California.
Expect to find a lot of people, especially on weekends and sunny days. The Pier, promenade, and beaches can be crowded, so avoid them if you want a quiet celebration.
It can be a pain to find parking in the city, and if you find a good spot, it’s probably expensive.
If you’ve decided to throw a birthday bash for yourself or a loved one in Santa Monica, then the next thing to think about is what look and party vibe you’re going for. We have a few venue ideas that might inspire you if you don’t know where to start.
Restaurants or Bars with Private Rooms – For a VIP Experience. It's your day, so you deserve to feel like a VIP. Treat yourself and your favorite people to something special on your birthday. You don't have to mix the crowd in the main hall or dining room; book your own space for a more intimate and upscale party experience.
Outdoor Patios – Fresh Air and Birthday Flair. If you prefer to be outside and want to soak in that quintessential California vibe, take everyone outside and set up the tables and chairs on a patio. Fresh air, sunshine, views, good food, and great company—what more could you ask for?
Houses with Pools – Pool Party Oasis. Rent a house with a pool, and you’re in for a treat. Even if your birthday isn’t in summer, it’s going to be summery, playful, and fun. When the sun sets, you and your guests can stay overnight and have a pajama party before bed.
Beachfront Spaces – Sand, Sun, and Birthday Fun. No one needs those fancy decorations when you can have the clear blue skies and the Pacific Ocean as your backdrop. Rent a studio or any oceanfront space nestled on the sand of Santa Monica Beach, with private access to a bar or lounge area.
Activity-Based Venues – All the Adventures in One Location. Bowling alleys, arcades, mini golf courses, or entertainment centers with lots of activities for all ages. It’s more about fun play and doing things than just sitting and chatting, which is sure to be exciting.
Santa Monica, CA, is a dream destination for many, and it’s easy to see why. A party in a place like this is pretty much half the fun already baked in. Let’s take care of the other half so you can start the party with more fun and less stress.
Who’s the Party for? – Are you planning it for you, a family member, or a friend? And more importantly, is it a kid’s party, an adult bash, or a combination of both? Your answer to this will shape the overall event vibe.
Set the Budget – No matter your budget, you can create a memorable party, but you must know your limit to help you make smart choices as you put together the event.
Choose a Party Space – You don’t need to scour the Third Street Promenade to discover a unique and elegant setting. The perfect venue is easy to find and book on the Giggster app, so get it now and explore your options. Use the smart filter to narrow your choice.
Plan for the Food and Drinks – You want guests to leave the party satisfied and happy, but it doesn’t mean expensive meals from a high-end restaurant. Match the menu style to your theme or party vibe. And of course, don’t forget the birthday cake.
A birthday party in Santa Monica sounds dreamy until you realize how expensive it can be to host an event in this seaside California city. But don’t worry; you can still turn that dream into reality with our money-saving hacks and tips.
Party during the day or evening festivity?
When you book at the right time, you’ll have more chances of saving a lot of money. Weekends and evenings are a no-go, especially if you have your eyes set on a restaurant, pub, or bar because those are their busiest days and times, which mean high prices on services and rentals. Opt for a daytime party on a weekend, and your savings will thank you.
Can you ask guests to bring stuff?
If it’s a chill, casual party, feel free to ask your guests to bring dishes or drinks. You won't want most people bringing the same plate, so suggest categories like sides, desserts, salads, and appetizers.
Let nature be your decorator.
You don’t always need to hire a vendor for everything, like a professional decorator. For outdoor soirees, let gorgeous Santa Monica be your decorator. Take advantage of the beaches, parks, palm trees, and legendary sunsets, and use them as a backdrop for a magical bash.
Your search for the best birthday party venues in Santa Monica, CA, is now over.
