Venue Selection Guide

Guide to Planning an Event for 23 Guests

Choosing the Right Space

For intimate gatherings of 23 guests, prioritize venues that feel cozy rather than cavernous. Private dining rooms and boutique lounges create the perfect atmosphere for conversation and connection. Look for venues where your group fills the space comfortably without feeling cramped.

Budgeting Tips

Smaller events often have more per-person value in the minimum spend. Consider venues where food is included in the minimum, turning your spending into a complete dining experience. Weekday bookings can reduce minimums by 30-50%.

Day and Time Considerations

Peak times (Friday/Saturday evenings) command premium rates and require earlier booking. For budget flexibility, consider Thursday evening (still feels like a weekend celebration), Sunday brunch (unique and often lower-cost), or even a weekday happy hour. Your guests' schedules and the event's purpose should guide timing.

Questions to Ask Venues

Before booking, confirm: exact capacity limits, what is included in the minimum spend, cancellation/modification policies, deposit requirements, overtime charges, whether you can bring a cake or decorations, AV equipment availability, and accessibility features. Get all agreements in writing.

Great basement bar with cool nautical theme. A few corner spots good for a small group. The staff was very nice and the frozen grog drink was great. Happy hour until 8pm!

Laura H.at The Folly

Amazing birthday brunch experience! Brought my mom here during our weekend in NYC for her bday. Everyone acknowledged her birthday and made us feel welcomed as soon as we walked in. Iggy was our server and he was the best! Attentive and fun! He told us about the menu, made recommendations and got us started with some yummy mimosas. His service was great and the restaurant overall provided amazing service. The food was a 10/10. Steak and eggs and croissant French toast are a must! Will definitely be back and will request Iggy every time.

This venue is such a hidden gem! It is as stunning in person as it is in pictures! Brittany the owner answered all my questions and I had plenty! All of my guests could not stop talking about how gorgeous the place was! Thank you so much for making my 40th beetlejuice event amazing!

This place is absolutely amazing the atmosphere is not like a typical sports bar and it's so welcoming I had my 24 birthday in there and the food was so yummy I was stealing my best friends fries but all in all I had so much fun and especially when they brought out my birthday Sundae 😄😄😄😄😄 10/10 would recommend

Really nice layout with tons of really cool light fixtures on the ceiling and black lights. The drink were well prepared and served from a draft like system. They had several DJ’s playing including Matthew Law repping out of West Philly.
