Choosing a Venue for Graduation Parties

Choosing the right venue is essential for a successful graduation party. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming. We’ve put together some tips about picking a venue for graduation parties.

Whether you’re looking to celebrate a graduate from Princeton University, Ryder University, Princeton Seminary, The Lawrenceville School, Hun Academy, Princeton Day School or any of the many local High Schools and Universities, the Princeton area offers many great resources to help you plan a memorable graduation event.

In the Princeton area, from outdoor graduation party venues near me to unique graduation party venue ideas, the choices are abundant.

Here are some suggestions to choose the best venues for graduation parties and provide tips for selecting the perfect space.

• Figure out how many people will be in attendance at your graduation party venue. Since many of your graduate’s friends and colleagues will also be celebrating, it might be difficult to estimate the number of attendees

  
  

• Think about what you’d like your guests to remember about the graduation event. Will the focus be on activities at the graduation venue, the food you serve or the party atmosphere. Once you decide “the main event” for your graduation party near me, you can then begin putting together a list of graduation party venue ideas

  
  

• Determine your budget. While some graduation venues offer all-in pricing, others require hiring vendors to provide services. Also, keep in mind that some venues don’t allow alcoholic beverages at their grad party venues. If they do, consider whether to have a cash bar or include beverages for your guests

  
  

• Check the basics of the venue. Do they have enough parking and restrooms? Do they have other transportation options? Will all of your guests be comfortable with the space itself? Will they be able to access the space and other facilities?

  
  

• Indoor or Outdoor? For Spring graduations in the Princeton area, it can get warm in May or June. It also rains regularly in those months. The best case is that your venue offers flexibility for your guests with both indoor and outdoor spaces
