Criteria to consider when choosing the perfect venue for a private dinner
Define the atmosphere you want for your event
Before starting your search, think about the atmosphere you want for your dinner: chic, relaxed, romantic or festive. Choosing the right atmosphere will help you direct your search towards suitable venues.
The size and layout of the space
Think about the number of guests expected and the layout of the room. Some venues offer private rooms with several layout options to suit small or large groups.
Location and accessibility
Choose a venue that is well located and easily accessible for your guests. If your guests are coming from far away, make sure there is parking or access to public transport nearby.
Included or optional services
Some venues offer additional services, such as catering, dedicated staff or the option of personalising the decor. Make sure the venue you choose meets your expectations for the service.
Budget: a key criterion
Set a realistic budget for your private dinner and compare the prices of different venues. Some offer all-inclusive packages, while others charge for each service separately. Don’t forget to check for any extra charges.
Tips for a successful private dinner
Pay attention to the details of the decoration
Decoration helps to create a unique and warm atmosphere. Choose elements in keeping with the theme of your dinner, such as candles, flowers and soft lighting for a more intimate effect.
Prepare a menu to suit your guests
Discuss menu options with the caterer or restaurant to make sure it suits your guests’ tastes and complies with any dietary restrictions. A tasting menu, for example, can be a great option for a gastronomic experience.
Plan activities or entertainment
To add a personal touch to your dinner, offer discreet entertainment such as a live musician, a photographer or a photobooth area. This can add a unique and memorable dimension to the evening.
Communicate your expectations with the staff
Talk to the venue team to explain your expectations, such as times, room layout and service details. Good communication avoids misunderstandings and ensures that your event runs smoothly.
Check the logistics beforehand
Make sure that everything is in place to welcome your guests: seating, room layout and necessary equipment (audiovisual, projection equipment, etc.). Check the final details a few days before the event to avoid any hitches.
