People Also Ask…
What if I want to host my event at a restaurant or bar, but I don’t need the entire place to myself?
Restaurant/bar venues come in all shapes and sizes. No matter the number of guests, you’ll probably be able to find places with rental options that fit your needs. Reach out to venues and inquire about private and semi-private dining areas. Lots of spots have a variety of options with varying capacities, so there’s a good chance you’ll find a space that works for you, no matter the size of your group.
Can I decorate a restaurant or bar, or do I have to use the existing decor?
Restaurants and bars may have differing rules in place about outside decor, so be sure that your venue allows for as much or as little decor as you’d like to bring. Do you want a blank canvas for a floral artist to work magic in? Would you prefer a venue that you don’t need to accessorize? Check with a venue about their regulations before booking to ensure that the space can be exactly what you envision.
