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.

“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.”
Chris P.at Deluxx Fluxx
“Amazing food and service! The prix fixe menu was so good we came back the next night for happy hour pasta. The atmosphere was cozy and our server was accommodating and made some great suggestions. Highly recommend!”
Taraat Bird Dog
“We had a fantastic time at Complete Playground! The entire space was very clean and clearly well-maintained, which immediately made a great impression. There were tons of fun, age-appropriate options for our 4-year-old—from climbing structures to interactive play zones—he didn’t want to leave! What really stood out, though, were the thoughtful amenities and seating areas for adults. It was actually enjoyable for us too, whether we were joining in or just relaxing while keeping an eye on him. Highly recommend for families looking for a fun, safe, and comfortable place to spend a few hours!”
Joe Garciaat Complete Playground
“This is one of Manhattan's top cocktail bars, offering exceptional service and a highly knowledgeable bartender/owner. We tried the Just Peachy, Hibiscus Mule, and Tamarindo Picante Margarita, all of which were delicious. We will definitely be returning!”
