Find engagement venues near me

The best way to find engagement party venues is to use Peerspace, which keeps active listings of available jaw-dropping engagement party locations in your area that you can book. These may include hidden rooftop spaces, luxury homes, secret spaces in hip clubs or bars, creative gallery spaces, and so much more. Peerspace is the largest resource for booking engagement party venues, so chances are you'll find a space you love. Alternatively, search the web for engagement party venues in your city, which may turn up options for venues specifically advertising that service. Check social media to see where others have had engagement parties, too! This is a good way to see what the space will look like in full swing.

Decorations for an engagement party will depend on what matches the engagement party venue. An outdoor engagement party location, for example, will give you more options for hanging rustic, soft lighting. An indoor luncheon engagement party, on the other hand, allows you to use wall hangings and display gorgeous table centerpieces. Choose light, festive colors that brighten and open up the space, like teals, yellows, and pinks. Many engagement party hosts include cute marriage-themed decorations, like popcorn tins that say "He Popped the Question" or personalized napkins with the couples' names printed on them. If you search, you'll find a ton of amazing DIY engagement party decoration ideas.

Throwing an amazing engagement party on a budget is all about getting creative and going the DIY route. Food and drink is usually the biggest expense, so you might keep it light, opting for hors d'oeuvres that you can cook in bulk yourself (or with some help from bridesmaids and groomsmen!) Stocking large bottles or boxes of wine will keep alcohol costs relatively low, or you can skip that step altogether. Investigate crafty DIY decoration options that will make a huge impact without breaking the bank. Either host the party at your own home, or search for a gorgeous and unique engagement party venue right here on Peerspace. There are options for all budgets, and since you can rent by the hour, you can keep costs low.

Planning an engagement party has four main steps: First, reserve a stunning engagement party venue. Do this first since it will determine what's needed for the additional steps, and it will enable you to lock in the date and time of the party. Make a list of everyone you're going to invite and make sure you don't invite anyone who isn't going to also be invited to the wedding. With an estimated number of attendees in hand, decide what you'll do about food and drinks. Your venue may have options, but if not, you may choose to reserve a caterer, budget for adult beverages, etc. Finally, send out invites to your guests, and get ready to party! We recommend making an engagement party planning checklist to help you stay organized.

Engagement venues average $126 per hour to rent, but it’s easy to spend less or more depending on what you’re looking for. For a space on the smaller side, expect to spend closer to $138, whereas larger venues run about $133 per hour.
