Rooftop Party Location Must-Haves
A successful rooftop party requires a rooftop terrace equipped with certain features. Between outdoor heaters, lighting, retractable roofs and catering, your venue hire must-haves greatly depend on the nature of the event and, of course, the weather.
Stunning views are a priority. The main purpose of hosting in a rooftop space is to enjoy amazing views of the city's skyline. If you are planning your party in London, consider locations like Canary Wharf or central London, where you can marvel at impressive views of Tower Bridge, Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral.
What's the ambience you're going for? Do you envision having a wedding reception under the stars? Search for a rooftop terrace venue with an outdoor space that will give your guests room to dance and mingle without feeling cramped.
Is the rooftop venue easily accessible? Whether you're throwing a birthday bash or organising a huge corporate event, ensure your location is conveniently located near public transport. Ample parking space or valet service will enhance the experience.
How to Plan a Rooftop Party
From finding the perfect rooftop venue to setting the vibe for your party, planning an al fresco affair requires a lot of attention to detail. We simplified the most important steps to help you plan the perfect party without much hassle.
Set the Theme – Having a theme sets the tone for the entire party. Think Hollywood glamour for your team-building event or tropical beach theme for your summer bachelorette party at a rooftop pool. Once you set the theme, the rest will fall into place.
Create Your Menu – Are you hosting a fashion show in a penthouse or a networking event at a rooftop terrace with a poolside restaurant? Surely, you want to impress your guests, and deliciously flavourful food is the best way to do that. Whether you opt for a buffet spread or a cocktail party with gourmet hors d'oeuvres, make sure to accommodate your guests' dietary preferences and restrictions.
Plan the Entertainment – Rooftop parties go hand in hand with music, whether it's a DJ, a live music band, karaoke or your own playlist. A dedicated dance floor is a must if your event includes dancing.
Have a Backup Plan – Though most outdoor event spaces in the UK, especially London rooftop venues, are prepared for bad weather, having a backup plan to move the party inside should be at the top of your list.
Rooftop Party Expenses to Plan For
Hosting a party in the sky doesn't have to break the bank. Start by setting a budget and list your expenses as you go. Always be prepared for potential hidden costs, including cleaning fees and permits.
Have you booked your rooftop terrace?
Rooftop venues are in high demand, especially in spring and summer. Booking early helps you secure availability and lock in better prices. Our best rooftop hangouts range from flexible outdoor spaces with London skyline views for £80 per hour to romantic wedding venues charging £500 for the evening. Whatever the occasion, Giggster ensures a terrific roof terrace location at an affordable cost.
Will you need catering?
Private party catering costs in the UK depend on many factors, including the catering style (buffet, BBQ, sit-down meal), the type of event and location, to mention a few. For instance, prices of a cocktail reception with canapes can range between £20 to £50 per person, while a buffet spread for casual parties like birthdays can cost you between £15 to £30 per person.
What about entertainment?
Entertainment in the UK is not cheap, especially in the capital. If you want to hire a DJ to set the mood at your rooftop event, expect to pay no less than £400 for an event that lasts up to 5 hours.
