Advantages
All those diverse neighborhoods of Tacoma, from the vibrant art district to the quieter lanes with quaint cafes, make for fun and exciting venues of various kinds.
The community feeling and excellent food scene in the city means that you can easily find family-owned and local businesses to provide you with one or two party packages that would suit your needs.
Tacoma, while scenic and beautiful, isn't as popular or expensive as bigger cities like Seattle which means that you can quickly snap up your favored venues if you start planning early enough.
Disadvantages
Sadly enough, public transportation isn't the greatest outside of downtown Tacoma and most of the neighborhoods don't have easy access. You'd probably need your own car to get around while planning your birthday party.
The weather can be unpredictable and extreme and the rainy season spans a long while! So beware if you're thinking of booking an outdoor space, especially if you'll have young kids or elderly people around.
Laidback as Tacoma is, the nightlife in this city isn't by any means a thriving one. If you're looking to party and have some fun in a club for your birthday, you'll find your options quite limited.
Choosing an event venue is the basic first step to throwing spectacular birthday parties. Tacoma definitely has lots of fun outdoor events like laser tag and mini golf for the more adventurous and non-traditional birthday boys and girls out there. But there are plenty of indoor spaces on our 28 listings.
Historic Mansions – Party in Style. Book a Victorian-era mansion with high ceilings and a penthouse suite or a sophisticated mid-century house for an elegant party to impress your guests. The wooden floors and lovingly restored space will lend your party just the touch of charm that you need.
Rooftop Plazas – Enjoy the Views. An outdoor location is always a great idea in Tacoma, what with the great views! Rooftop plazas give you a breathtaking sighting of Mount Rainier as well as the Chihuly Bridge of Glass. Not to mention, there's plenty of room to set everything up and move around in, especially if children form a part of the party.
Museums – Soak in the Grandeur. It's not every day that you can say you celebrated your birthday in a museum. That's a unique location that Tacoma has to offer. With space enough for a party of 500, birthdays are only one of the grand events hosted by these locales.
Breweries and Pubs – Casual and Relaxed. If all you want to do is relax and converse with your friends, you couldn't pick a better venue than a classic pub or brewery. You can book out the whole place and get food catered. Best for lowkey events, a pub is a great place to really take the time to interact with your friends individually.
Lofts and Studios – A Quiet Night In. These versatile meeting spaces can be just as effective for a birthday party as for office parties. Go all out with the decorations if the modern chic style of original steel beams and minimal furniture isn't good enough for you. The best thing about lofts and studios? They can be completely transformed to suit your tastes.
Birthday parties take a lot of work and prior planning. There's only so much a person can do without some help. Thus, it's important to narrow down the priorities for this event and tackle them one by one. And remember, it's okay to bring in help for the other tasks that you aren't able to do yourself.
Pick Out a Theme – A theme for the event will influence everything from venue to budget. Do you want a luxurious birthday in a mansion? If so, serve delicate finger foods like quiches and cupcakes and try to limit the guest list to your nearest and dearest.
Determine the Budget – Being organized is the key to planning an unforgettable event. Decide on your budget, big or small, and try to stay within it at all times. Don't be afraid to go with one of our inexpensive studio spaces. The perfect location and party packages don't need to be pricey.
Select the Venue – Since you know the theme, budget, and date, you can now go ahead and rent a place. Keep in mind the size of the group and the presence or absence of any children and people who might have special needs as you browse through our 28 listings in Tacoma.
Decorations and Food – In most cases, you'll need to organize both the setup and cleanup of the party room so it's best to keep your expectations manageable. Some places have facilities for in-house catering whereas in others, you'll need to arrange for catering and get the decorations up separately.
You want to throw a memorable birthday bash without making a hole in your pocket. There are enough party packages starting at low prices out there and it always helps to make a budget and stick to it.
What is your budget for the event?
Be firm about the figures that you put down and get your family or older kids to help keep you on track. The place you rent, the number of guests you invite, and the menu you put together are all determined by the budget.
Book the venue ahead of time.
Begin looking at places and trying to book them well ahead of time. You can opt for a daytime affair rather than a nighttime one, which cuts down costs considerably.
What about the amenities?
Decorating the party room, setting up games and entertainment, arranging for catering, and perhaps renting chairs and tables are amenities that you have to take into consideration. Try and work out how much of it you can do yourself.
On Giggster, you'll find perfectly curated venues for all kinds of parties. Whether it's a room in a mid-century home, a vintage pub with a welcoming atmosphere, or a rooftop with a stunning view that you're looking for, we're sure to have a great place for you.
