It's safe to say that West Hollywood is well-known. It's close to posh Beverly Hills and the sprawling city of Los Angeles. From iconic hotels like the Andaz West Hollywood to famous clubs like Whisky a Go Go and the laughs at the Comedy Store, this city is the place to be for fun and relaxation! There's the trendy atmosphere of the Fashion District, plus the Sunset Strip and its link to the world of entertainment. And even better if you're hosting a birthday party for someone who's into music, movies, history, or the LGBTQ+ scene of Santa Monica Boulevard.
Getting birthday party venues right is key to a fun and memorable gathering and will set the tone for the entire event. Luckily, Giggster curates a catalogue of the top spots, so finding the perfect West Hollywood event space is a breeze. Whether it's a secret lounge, an elegant restaurant, or a design-forward home you're after, we have plenty of amazing options for every budget.

For parties with live music or speeches, rent indoor or outdoor event spaces with a stage, sound equipment, and plenty of room to dance.

Advantages
West Hollywood is generally very walkable, so wherever you choose to hold the party, everyone can walk to the after-party spot easily on Sunset Blvd or Santa Monica Blvd.
The venues here pretty much exude style. Keep your party trendy and Instagram-worthy with a well-designed and modern space. And it doesn't hurt that the area is celebrity-adjacent.
When you choose a restaurant or bar here as your venue, you'll have your pick of world cuisine from top chefs, and service that reflects West Hollywood's exclusive vibes.
Disadvantages
WeHo, as it's affectionately known, isn't generally cheap. The exclusivity comes at a higher price for everything from venues to parking and entertainment options.
Weekends in West Hollywood are crowded, so if you're looking for a quieter area and venue, this may not be the right choice for you.
Booking can get competitive due to West Hollywood's popularity. You'll need to plan the venue in advance to get your pick of the options.
Now that we know why (or why not) you should choose West Hollywood as the base your your party, let's get a glimpse at some of the venue types you can rent from our 169 different locations:
Rooftop Bars and Lounges – Memorable Outdoor Space. Nothing says fancy like a rooftop bar or sky lounge with views of the city (especially at night). Our options range from a casual bar-like setting with greenery and comfy couches to an exclusive lounge complete with a helipad and awe-inspiring garden.
Mansions – Celebrate in Total Style. LA has its share of mansions, and West Hollywood is no exception. Choose Spanish villas with colorful walls and gourmet kitchens or modern masterpieces with clean lines and a monochromatic aesthetic. There are smaller homes for more intimate gatherings, too.
Restaurants – Classic for a Reason. While it may seem more of a conventional choice, the restaurants of West Hollywood are anything but ordinary. Picture elegant chandeliers, ornate bars, and cozy booths. You can pick a classic American diner, a restaurant that would fit into an Old Hollywood theme, or a spot with vibrant retro vibes.
Nightclubs – Dance, Dance, Dance. Nightclubs are actually more of a conventional birthday party choice in West Hollywood since nightlife is one of its main draws. Host up to 100 of your closest friends in a space with lush furnishings, a killer sound system, and a bar staff that's always willing to help.
Warehouses – Chic Festivities. Planning a birthday party rave? Or maybe something more low-key like an art showcase or cocktail party? A West Hollywood warehouse in a historic building, with polished floors and easy access to the bustling street out front, is the perfect venue.
Even though it's easy to sort out an exciting venue, there's more to the planning process to take your birthday party to the next level.
Decide on the Guest List – The number of people you're expecting will dictate the venue size and the amount of food and drinks you need, among other things. Set this early on and get the invites out ASAP to make sure all your besties can make it.
Set the Mood – Use decor and lighting to achieve the effect you want. Set up candles, neon lights, or string lights for the ideal ambience and go all out with banners, balloons, and streamers, if that fits the overall vibe.
What's the Food and Drink Situation? – The refreshments are a very important component of a good party. Choose your caterer wisely and decide what type of cuisine suits the event best. For example, a menu you pick for casual kids' birthday parties will be different from one you'd go with for a lavish evening affair for adults.
Yes, a birthday is a special occasion, but your next event can be cost-effective. Use the Giggster app to get a good venue hourly rate, and consider these additional money-saving tips:
Avoid the weekend.
It may sound odd, but there's no reason you have to hold the party on Friday or Saturday night, other than the fact that most people have the following day off. Venues are cheaper during the week and often have a lower minimum spend. Host on a Thursday night and you'll certainly save.
Beware of the minimum spend.
Although the minimum spend is likely to be lower during the week, it's still a thing. This can be in the five-figure range, and if your invitees don't meet the minimum, it's you who will be on the hook to make up the difference.
Keep it small.
Aside from saving on venue, invitation, and food costs, parties for smaller groups also keep things intimate. The birthday person will get to connect with all the guests easily. In general, a party will cost at least $20 per person, but $50 to $100 is likely more reasonable. So, each person who doesn't make the cut puts money back in your pocket.
From birthday parties and corporate events to milestone celebrations and everything in between, the Giggster app is your one-stop shop for the top party locations in West Hollywood, CA. You can create a special event that the guest of honor will remember for years to come without breaking the bank or compromising on quality!
