Top Features to Look for in a Rooftop Venue

Whether hosting a small gathering or a large-scale event, there are important details to factor in to ensure your celebration goes off without a hitch.

Do you need a quality sound system? Most rooftop venues on Giggster have the equipment to seamlessly host your wedding, bachelorette, or Bar Mitzvah. An essential amenity to look for is a quality sound system to host karaoke, hire a DJ, or play your favorite songs.

Ambiance is important. Most outdoor spaces on Giggster set the stage for the perfect event, but it all comes down to your preference. Are you planning to propose before the party? Prepare for a "Yes" with a romantic setting, dim lighting, candles, flowers, and heart decorations—key marriage proposal elements sure to win a woman's heart.

What's the size of the venue? Space is crucial whether you're hosting an event in a private dining room, a hotel lounge, a restaurant, or a sky bar. Knowing the accurate number of attendees will help you pick the right room size and prevent an overcrowded event.

Pros and Cons of Events at Rooftop Locations

Like every event space, rooftop venues have advantages and disadvantages. Find out why we love rooftop spaces and what you can live without when hosting.

Advantages

• Rooftop venues offer an atmosphere like no other. From the dramatic views to the ambiance and dancing under the skies, these sought-after venues are incredibly appealing.

• With a gorgeous backdrop and panoramic views, rooftop locations make excellent photo opportunities.

• Most rooftop rooms offer both indoor and outdoor space, which gives you the perfect backup plan if the weather changes.

Disadvantages

• Rooftop venues include restaurants, bars, and lounges. Unless you're hosting on a private rooftop terrace, these spaces come with rules and regulations, which means you don't have the freedom to do what you please.

• Because of their height, outdoor rooftop venues can be more dangerous than ground-floor venues. Be cautious when drinking, don't go close to the railing, or avoid walking around if it has rained or snowed to prevent slipping and injury.

• Like any outdoor space, insects like flies and mosquitos are possible, especially in summer. Make guests feel comfortable by providing insect repellents or sunscreen.

How to Plan an Event on a Rooftop Venue

You don't need to be a seasoned event planner to throw a memorable event. This guide will help you get started.

Make a Guest List – A rule of thumb is to have a fair idea of the guest count before searching for the perfect place. The last thing you want is to book a small room in a rooftop bar for a large-scale event.

Find a Location – When choosing the perfect space, consider accessibility, safety, and other factors affecting your experience. Does the venue tick all the boxes? From intimate nooks with heated pools to lively bars with inventive cocktails and funky patios, your ideal location is just a click away on the Giggster app.

Plan Your Entertainment – Are you planning on hiring a live music band for your rooftop wedding? Perhaps a comedy stand-up show will better fit into your corporate event. Or maybe you have a small budget? In that case, fun games and activities can go a long way toward a successful night.

Craft a Menu for Food and Drinks – A party is not complete without food. Whether you're hosting a cocktail hour, a gala dinner, or an engagement party, consider your catering options. Do you prefer light bites, finger food, and shared plates? Or a lavish three-course meal is what you fancy? Are you hosting a buffet or a sit-down dinner?

Saving Money on Rooftop Events

A rooftop space with spectacular views doesn't come cheap. Use these money-saving tips to throw an amazing rooftop event without breaking the bank.

Negotiate dates that make sense.

Rooftop venues are in high demand, especially in summer. Many sell out on weekends, which are often the more expensive dates. To cut costs on rental fees, try booking your reservation on a weekday, preferably in the morning or brunchtime. An afternoon tea with the bridal's entourage is a beautiful and cost-effective way to celebrate the new bride-to-be.

Limit the bar and offer alternatives.

It's hard to have a successful rooftop party without alcohol, but there are ways to reduce costs, even with an open bar. Have a selection of beer, wine, and a few signature cocktails. Offer homemade lemonade, mocktails, and iced tea instead of fizzy drinks.

Can you simplify the decor?

If you picked an outdoor rooftop venue, only a little is required to beautify the space, as the impressive views and the fresh air are more than enough. Whatever the event and occasion, enhance your gathering with low-cost decor like flowers, balloons, string lights, and greenery. Minimalistic decor never goes out of style.
