03 Things To Consider

Choose the right room for your numbers
A dining room should feel atmospheric once guests are seated, not sparse or overcrowded. Check the venue's dinner capacity for your preferred layout and allow space for staging, entertainment or a dance floor if required.


Reception & dinner spaces
Consider where guests will have their arrival drinks before dinner. A separate reception space can make the evening flow naturally and allows the dining room to remain hidden until you're ready for the reveal.


Catering & menu flexibility
Christmas dinner doesn't have to mean a traditional festive menu. Look at the venue's catering options, dietary provision and whether menus can be tailored to your guests and style of celebration.


Dinner, dancing & entertainment
If the celebration continues after dinner, consider where the dance floor, DJ or live entertainment will go and whether tables need to be removed. Venues that can transition easily from dinner to party tend to create a much better guest experience.


Dates & getting home
Popular December dates, particularly Wednesdays and Thursdays, can book well in advance. Location and late-night transport are also important when guests will be leaving after dinner and potentially several hours of celebrations.

03 Things To

Consider

04 Frequently Asked Questions

What type of venue is best for a Christmas dinner?
It depends on the style of celebration you're planning. Historic venues, ballrooms, hotels, private dining spaces and contemporary event venues can all work brilliantly, provided they offer the right dining capacity, catering and atmosphere.


How much space do we need for a seated Christmas dinner?
Look beyond the venue's maximum dinner capacity. You'll also need to account for reception space, bars, staging, entertainment and a dance floor if you're planning to continue the party after dinner.


Can we have a drinks reception before dinner?
Yes. Many London venues offer a separate reception room or adjoining space where guests can enjoy drinks and canapés before moving through for dinner.


Can we have entertainment during dinner?
Usually, although this depends on the venue. Live music, performers, awards, speeches and other entertainment can often be incorporated into the evening, with staging and production arranged where required.


Can we have dancing after our Christmas dinner?
Many venues allow dinner to transition into dancing afterwards. Check whether the dance floor can be incorporated into the original layout or whether tables need to be removed after dinner, as well as the venue's sound restrictions and finish time.


Do Christmas dinner venues offer festive packages?
Many do, particularly during November and December. Packages can include room hire, a festive menu, drinks and sometimes production or entertainment, while other venues offer completely bespoke pricing.


When should we book a Christmas dinner venue in London?
For the best choice of venues and dates, start looking as early as possible. Wednesdays and Thursdays in December are particularly popular, while late November and less sought-after dates can offer considerably more availability.


Can Match My Venue find a Christmas dinner venue for us?
Yes. Tell us your date, guest numbers, budget, preferred location and plans for the evening, and we'll curate suitable London venues around your brief. Our venue finding service is free for clients to use.
