What makes a party? The guests certainly, the food and drinks undoubtedly, the weather (sometimes)Â…however, perhaps one of the most crucial ingredients for a really good party is the venue.Whether it's in a private house or garden, a village field or at a famous and awe-inspiring landmark, a venue can make or break a party. Party venues don't have to be expensive, and if your house or home is suitable, that can make life much easier, but of course a large company, a corporate organisation, or someone simply with a bigger than average number of guests, will all need a proper venue.Lots of party venues have other uses - a church or town hall, a public garden or country house. Museums and monuments often make great venues, and of course lots of London attractions double up as great party venues too, with their own events teams and lists of preferred suppliers.Popular London party venues include the Natural History Museum and The Science Museum, Madame Tussauds or The London Aquarium, Guildhall, Two Temple and Chelsea Hospital - the list is endless.These venues often work with a list of preferred suppliers - the florists, party planners, caterers, DJs, bands and lighting & production...more
