Venue Selection Guide

Guide to Planning an Event for 50 Guests

Choosing the Right Space

Mid-size events of 50 guests offer flexibility in venue choice. You can opt for a dedicated private room at a restaurant, a semi-private lounge section, or a small event space. Consider how you want guests to interact - seated arrangements foster conversation while cocktail setups encourage mingling.

Budgeting Tips

Balance your per-person budget across food, drinks, and any venue fees. Most venues for this size include beverage service in the minimum. Compare all-inclusive packages against a la carte pricing based on your group's consumption habits.

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.

“This is a great space and as far as I can tell, the **only** 24/7 space in NYC you can get a day pass to. That's huge if you need to set up before 0800 / 0900. Plus it's a fun quirky space with tons of room.”
