Boohoo

Thank you all so much – it was a really good evening. The venue is perfect and whoever thought of the fish and chip van needs a gold star! This sums up all over feedback we had at the party. Your crew so helpful. So very uncomplicated - the whole booking, organising in advance and during the evening. A very big thank you! And I’m quite sure, some guests might consider you for their future private parties. I’ll surely will.

Virgin

Amazing! Chloe and her team were fantastic. Arabuko bar exceeded my expectations. It was a private party catering for 80-100 guests over 6 hours with unlimited drinks. Chloe had excellent communication and was flexible as our party needs changed. They even stayed longer until our last guests left. Both adults and children had fun thanks to their awesome team. 

Beefeater

Had a really great experience at Beetle Juice Brixton!! We hired this venue for a work do. The team were very accommodating. They organised a DJ and it's surrounded by neighbouring restaurants that do a variety of incredible street food. A definite must visit.

Memories from events we’ve already made happen

Are you wondering if a corporate summer party is necessary? A well curated event will benefit you and your organisation in many ways. These include:

A summer event at an amazing venue space is the perfect opportunity for you to thank your employees for their contribution to business growth and evolution.

The stress and pressure of working environments can add up over time. A summer party allows employees to unwind, it’s an excellent morale booster.

Also, such events make employees feel valued and appreciated, motivating them for the rest of the work year.

It may surprise you that though employees spend most of their time together, they rarely engage in non-work-related conversations.

The corporate event is an opportunity for employees to relate with each other on a personal level, improving working relationships.

Know that employees that don't feel valued are more likely to leave the organisation. Hosted events make employees feel appreciated, and therefore help with retention. 

The most popular dates for venue bookings in the summer are, surprisingly, January, February and March - the earlier you can secure your booking the better. Having your venue secured as many months in advance as possible helps with planning, any unknowable setbacks, extras such as food truck hire and mobile bar hire too! Most summer events are announced in March, this also allows your team to book their holidays and getaways around the event - you want to ensure 100% attendance!

A dry hire refers to hiring only a space, such as a hall or room. By contrast, a wet hire refers to hiring the space and venue extras like furniture, audio-visual services, catering, etc. Wet hires are also known as inclusive hires because the use of the “extras” is included in the venue's price. So should you go for dry hire or inclusive hire? Well, each of these venue options has its unique benefits. A dry hire gives you the following advantages:

Dry hire puts you in control of your event:

Going for a dry hire venue is like getting a blank canvas on which you can put your stamp. You can get creative and bring in different services instead of making do with what the venue provides.

You can put your touch on everything, from the style of the chairs to decorations. Instead of being restricted to the venue’s staff availability, you can hire your own event staff. You can bring in your own caterers, drinks suppliers, DJs, photographers and videographers, and more.

With Togather, finding and booking your own suppliers won't any hassle. We can connect you with some of the UK’s best caterers for outstanding food and customer experience, bar suppliers for delicious drinks, and photographers and videographers that’ll capture every special moment without compromise.

Dry hire allows you to showcase your theme well

If decoration is included in a venue hire, it may not showcase your theme well. But when you go for dry hire and have control of everything, you can fully bring your theme to life.


Dry hire helps you to save on event venue services. You can shop around and settle for the best quote for a particular service.

As you make your venue decision, what must you keep in mind, and what mistakes must you avoid?

Be clear and honest with your venue. Be honest about your party details, like the expected guest count, event time, planned attractions and activities, etc. For example, if you plan to play loud music, it'll be wise to let your venue know as some don’t allow loud music while others don't allow it past a certain time.

Check which space you'll have access to. Most venues have different spaces, so check and be sure of the spaces you'll have access to. Also, ask about parking spaces.

Check what the cost includes. Be sure you fully understand what services (if any) come with the space you hire. For example, it'd be a major disaster for you not to arrange a sound system (thinking it’s included in your cost), only to realise that you thought wrong.

Check timings. Determine when you can start setting up (preparing and decorating the venue) and when you have to take down your event.

Cancellations. You may change your mind about the venue, so make sure you know everything about cancellations. Can you cancel? If yes, when can you cancel, and will cancellation fees apply?

Holding the party in the office. To reap the full benefits of your event, everyone at the party would have to forget about work and really unwind. Unfortunately, you may not get that in an office space.

Booking the wrong venue. Don’t make the mistake of booking a venue that isn't the right size for you. For example, a venue will feel empty and soulless if it’s too big, and it’ll feel cramped and claustrophobic if it’s too small. Also, make sure that the venue is accessible - easy and safe to reach and leave.  

Assuming you can do anything with a dry hire venue. Some exclusive venues have restrictions. So, make sure you find out what's permissible and what isn't.

Leaving your venue sourcing or booking until the last minute. As mentioned earlier, it's wise to book months in advance as choice venues usually sell out very early.

The cost of a corporate summer party varies depending on factors like location, guest count, venue, menu and drinks, and more. 

On average, we project a cost of £90 per head in London and a little less in other UK locations. So, if your guest list is up to 50, your party will cost you around £4,500.

A venue will clearly provide pricing for hiring their space as well as an itemised breakdown of any additional services that may be included in their package such as AV equipment hire, security or staffing costs or bar hire.

You can pay by credit or debit card, setting up a monthly payment plan or paying in full to finalise your booking. We hold all funds securely until the working day after your event, before passing them to the supplier, helping to keep your mind at ease.

The cost of a summer party venue can vary widely based on factors such as location, size, amenities, and the time of year. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from £500 to £5,000 or more for a summer party venue, depending on these factors.

It's a good idea to book a summer party venue as far in advance as possible, especially if you're planning your event during peak season. This will ensure that you have your desired date and location available and give you plenty of time to plan and prepare for the party.

This depends on the venue. Some venues may have strict rules about decorations, while others may be more flexible. Be sure to ask about the venue's policies on decorations and make sure to get approval for any special arrangements you may have in mind.
