Top 10 luxury party venues for a party to remember

May 16, 2016

It’s not just weddings that need a great venue to invite family and friends to. These days there’s a growing trend in bigger and more lavish wedding anniversary parties and higher age Birthday parties. It’s wonderful to get together inviting your longest and dearest friends and family from around the world to celebrate a memorable wedding anniversary or specific birthday in style.

We think the growing number of parties is due to the fact people tend to live so much further away from each other these days, a good party can bring everyone together, like nothing else can. This is certainly the case with people getting their party invitations from us here at The Letterpress of Cirencester.

But, unlike weddings you might want to hold your party somewhere a little different. Plus you’re not as restricted as you can often be with weddings, you can hold your party anywhere in the world, as longs as you’ve got the money to pay for it is that is! You could hire Necker Island for example – Richard’s Branson’s exclusive desert island in the sun.

The best way to search for great party venues is generally a web search. Don’t limit yourself down too much and definitely look at the wedding venues as well. Wedding venues obviously make great party venues and all venues will hold any type of party. Also use listing sites as these have done the hard work for you. Try these, some are general and list venues others are specifically for party venue listings:

http://www.countrycalling.co.uk - south west predominantly.

https://www.headbox.com - wonderful, but not much outside of London.

But to help you all we’ve researched online and also taken advice from those getting their wedding anniversary and birthday party invitations from us. Some are a little different and more imaginative, not necessarily for you to use but just to inspire.

Pool party with a difference

Haymarket Hotel

Marquees make great party venues as you can put them in your garden if you’re lucky enough or in some amazing locations.

Plus due to their design you get great views outside too.

Music, once it was vinyl, then tape, then CD, then MP3 players, and now streaming, such as Spotify, but what’s growing exponentially? It's vinyl again.
