Rent a small party venue in Philadelphia, PA

Bumping elbows with the general public can be fun but sometimes we really want to be surrounded by our favorite people. The best way to make a party feel even more memorable and exclusive is to make it a private event! Private party venues create a more intimate environment when everyone around you is a party guest. Even the largest party venues like ballrooms, mansions, and banquet halls become exclusive events this way. Philadelphia has all of the amenities you'd expect of a major US city and that includes private party venues to explore. You can host one at activity centers where there's fun to go along with the food and conversation. Batting cages, bowling alleys, mini golf courses, laser tag arenas, and go kart tracks all have private rooms for a birthday celebration. Many of these venues have several of these activities - and more - all under one roof, making it easier to please diverse interests. Other great activity venues that cater to private parties include wine tasting centers, shooting ranges, and hotel tea party rooms, any of which can be great for bachelorette parties.

Restaurants are a time-tested classic when it comes to throwing a private party. You'll not only have great food and staff to assist with setting up and maintaining the party; the venue will have a private room where you can escape the crowds with your family and friends. Restaurant private dining rooms are decorated elegantly with chandeliers, wall art, and historic architecture. You can choose riverfront dining, hold your Halloween party in a rooftop restaurant overlooking downtown, or book the restaurant's entire dining room for your next party!

Outdoor spaces are some of the more unique private party venues in Philadelphia. You can have a cocktail party on the deck of a ship, a wedding reception in an early 20th century estate, or a baby shower in a historic garden! Dilworth Park next to the Philadelphia City Hall is one of our favorite choices. Fountains, a lawn, groves of trees, and thousands of square feet of open space make it one of the most flexible downtown venues for a private outdoor party. For an even more exclusive feel, check out Morris Arboretum & Gardens of the University of Pennsylvania. Galas, wedding receptions, celebrations of life, and other private events have been held here for decades. You can transform any of their green spaces into a party venue, complete with outdoor reception tents, seating, and a catered dinner for your guests.
