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.
