Birthday parties – Whether it’s your colleague’s crazy 30th birthday bash or a relaxed celebratory dinner, choosing the right venue can make a special day even more memorable.

On a tight budget and searching for more affordable option in Melbourne? Don’t stress. At Tagvenue we know how to find a function venue that won’t break the bank. Here’s a short list of our handy tips:

• Go for a venue with a BYO policy – Bringing your own drinks is very likely to help you save you heaps of dollars – same goes for self-catering. We know plenty of function rooms in Melbourne that won’t mind you bringing a couple of bottles or your own food. Cheers!

• Picking a venue with a reasonable minimum spend is another good idea to cut down on costs. This approach gives you practically free venue hire, as you’re not spending a single cent on the space itself. All you need to do is spend a set amount on food and drinks. Sounds fair, doesn’t it?

• As a rule of thumb, it’s usually better to go for a small room than a big one that you won’t be able to fill. Hiring a space that’s just the right size will encourage your guests to chat and mingle – and it’s often much cheaper, too. What’s not to like?

• You might also want to choose from unusual spaces located slightly off the beaten track. We know plenty of unique places (with really attractive price tags) that are available for private hire. See our collection and you’ll be amazed by what you can discover in Melbourne!
