You can't talk about Anaheim without mentioning the "Happiest Place on Earth"—Disneyland Resort and Theme Park. And with the Anaheim Convention Center, Angels Stadium, and the Honda Center all here, this is a top spot in Orange County to gather and celebrate.
While hotels like the Embassy Suites Anaheim, the Westin Anaheim Resort, and the Hilton (Orange County's largest hotel) are perfectly reliable, you might want alternative spots that are sure to impress anyone. That's where Giggster comes in! We bring the "wow" factor when you need a vibrant and versatile venue for your holiday celebrations with friends or your next corporate event.
Download the Giggster app and see just how affordable your Christmas party venue can be. We have options in all price points while maintaining tons of variety. The first stop for a special event space is always Giggster!
For the perfect venue near the Anaheim Resort Area, downtown, or East Center Street, look no further than Giggster. Your next event space can be conveniently located near major highways and city attractions. As for style and venue type, those will vary, too, and can be any of the following:
Because it's SoCal, part or all of your party can take place outside, even at Christmastime. Book an outdoor patio, a home with a sprawling backyard, or a rooftop deck with lovely city views.
Each location can have the space features you want, too. Need a full kitchen? That's easy. Want a huge dance floor? That's covered. What about a grand theater for speeches and presentations? We've got that as well.
Decor is a big part of what sets the tone for a special occasion, so our venues can have luxury textiles, posh furniture, and breathtaking views over the cityscape.
When conventional just won't cut it, think outside the box and choose Giggster venues for your family or corporate party, like a fully renovated chapel, a luxe champagne parlor, or a tried-and-true saloon.
Exceptional Variety & Quality: Whether you need a space that can accommodate a few business meetings and the Christmas party or a more intimate space for a small gathering, you'll find the perfect solution among our 48 options.
Hassle-Free Booking: The holiday season is a very busy time, so the last thing you need is a complicated booking process. Luckily, with Giggster, making a reservation only takes a few minutes because everything is displayed so clearly. If there are still questions after reviewing the images, features, availability, and price, simply message the hosts for more info.
24-Hour Free Cancellation Policy: If you booked a space for an event, and you changed your mind later, you can cancel it for free within 24 hours of confirmation, provided the booking is made at least 48 hours before the event.
Platform Protections: Christmas parties will have a lot of moving parts. To lessen the stress, consider adding extra optional coverage for liability, damage, and last-minute cancellations when you book The Hide Escape Room or any other location.
Southern California has a lot of different cities to choose from for your next party. To confirm Anaheim is the place to be, weigh these factors collectively:
Advantages
Anaheim is a family-friendly place, so it's easy to find venues that have appeal for children as well as adults, especially if you choose the Anaheim Resort Area as the location.
Venue parking is much easier to find in Anaheim than in nearby cities like Los Angeles. Even though the bus is the main public transportation option, it covers the city well for guests without cars.
Anaheim offers warm year-round temperatures, so unlike many parts of the country, you can dazzle guests with outdoor space for any holiday party.
Disadvantages
As in most big cities, the prices for venues around the holidays tend to surge, so expect to pay a bit of a premium.
Also, because of increased demand for staff like bartenders and servers during the Christmas season, it may be tricky to find enough support for your party.
Anaheim generally does things on a large scale, which can be great for big corporate gatherings, but it can be harder to secure smaller, more intimate venues. At least you know that Giggster should be your first stop for venues of any size!
The truth is that you can rent pretty much any type of venue you please, but here are a few ideas from our 48 total spots to get your creative juices flowing:
Escape Rooms – Built-In Entertainment. Worried that the work party will feel a little flat? Get guests involved in a mission at one of the escape rooms in the city. This works well for smaller Christmas parties, but you can also rent multiple rooms and divvy people up by their work teams.
Concert Venues – Live Music Meccas. When you want to dazzle your friends and family or co-workers with a fun musical performance at the party, pick a Giggster venue with plenty of seating, a dance floor, and a well-lit stage, and you have the perfect space. While it may not rival the City National Grove of Anaheim, it will feel much more intimate and personal.
Lounges and Nightclubs – Celebrate in Style. Any holiday party venue that includes neon lights, a top-of-the-line sound system, and large built-in bars pretty much makes it impossible to have a bad time. This type of event venue is sure to keep the high energy going well into the early hours.
Restaurants – Tasty Menus. Planning on making the food the focus of your holiday party? Filter for restaurants in the Giggster app and discover elegant dining rooms with large windows and ornate chandeliers, more rustic and casual locations with comfortable seating and warm decor, or go back in time to a 1920s speakeasy for an unexpected atmosphere.
Warehouses – Lots of Space to Mingle. Rent an Anaheim warehouse for your company Christmas party or family celebrations, and you'll find plenty of room to move. High ceilings, concrete floors, and columns just waiting for some tinsel and holly complete the picture.
Whether you're booking one or two private rooms or a huge concert or event venue in the city, most of the planning will be the same. Do a little extra work in the lead-up to the party, and you can relax and enjoy the festivities when the day arrives:
Choose a Unique Theme – Yes, Christmas counts as a theme, but you can be more creative than that, right? How about a California Christmas theme with decorated palm trees and flamingos in Santa hats, or a mostly white decor for a true Winter Wonderland in this hot semi-arid climate?
Get Festive with the Menu – Even though it's going to potentially be pretty warm outside, consider adding a cider or hot chocolate bar to the mix. Tacos are a crowd-pleaser, and you can add a Christmas touch by filling them with turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce, for example. Dessert can be a range of Christmas cookies for a very portable menu.
Activities and Entertainment Keep Things Lively – Don't rely exclusively on good conversation. Instead, book a great band, rent a karaoke machine, or plan games like Christmas bingo, a gift exchange, or trivia.
If it's a corporate party you're planning, you may have plenty of budget, but then again, you may be looking to keep costs low. Whatever your original budget, these ideas can help:
Can the party be on a weeknight?
So, it really has to be scheduled in December, but does the Christmas party need to be on the weekend? Consider weeknight festivities for a cheaper rental fee, and it may encourage guests to be more moderate if they have to work in the morning.
Rent a flexible space.
Pick an all-in-one space to avoid moving the party from place to place. For example, don't rent a restaurant for dinner and then a nightclub for an after-party. Stick with one versatile space and save money. The Giggster app has many event venues that can do it all!
Re-purpose office or home decorations.
Instead of buying or renting a whole new set of Christmas decorations for the venue, gather everything you and your friends have at home or whatever is being used for Christmas in the office. Then, move them temporarily to the party space for a few hours.
Whether you're searching for unique Christmas party venues in Anaheim or places to hold birthday parties, corporate events, rehearsal dinners, or weddings, the Giggster app has an expertly curated list of all the top locations. Find the ideal private space in Southern California to celebrate in minutes without blowing your budget.
