Five ways to keep the cost down
- Book a weekday slot. Use the weekday deals above, or ask any venue whether a weekday party costs less.
- Count heads honestly. Extra children are often charged per head beyond the package limit, so a package sized for your guest list beats a cheaper one you will outgrow.
- Check the food rules first. If a venue requires its own food, add that to the package price before comparing.
- Ask whether adults pay. Some venues charge admission for adults; others let them in free.
- Read the deposit terms. Some deposits are non-refundable, which matters if you might change the date.
