Planning a New Year’s Eve party? Get it right with VenueScanner’s 5 essential elements.

Music
It’s a well-known fact that music is the life and soul of a party. It gets people dancing, prevents painful bouts of small talk, and sets the pace for the entire night. Only play a selection of down-tempo tracks and half your guests will be snoring through the countdown to 2017. You’ll need a mixed playlist, a dancefloor, and a top-notch DJ set. Fifty9 Bar can help with that one!  If you need some extraordinary musicians at your party to make it super-special, Encore, the online home for musicians, can find you the very best.

Drinks
Make sure to quench your guests’ thirst with a choice of drinks. Alcoholic or not, you’ve got to have some sort of drink in your hand when you make a toast to the New Year.  Some guests may need a few cocktails to loosen up; The Waterway makes it easy for you – its private room has its very own bar! 

Good Atmosphere 
The atmosphere at a party is very important. You’ll need the right company and, of course, the right venue. Want a high-energy and vibrant atmosphere? Aviary Bar may be just the place.  Or perhaps you’d prefer a more tranquil, cosy atmosphere – one that Clerkenwell London and its New Year’s Eve Buyout can definitely provide.

Food 
Don’t want your guests to feel bloated or unable to make it to the dancefloor? Provide bowl food or canapés. Rooms on Regent’s Park can help fulfil your canapé dreams and also organise a brilliant drinks reception. If you’re offering your own canapés, make them extra special or wacky – like these ones here!

If you’d much rather a fancy sit-down meal, Royal Overseas League has a professional kitchen that exists to whip up some fantastic cuisine for partygoers.

Entertainment

Liven your party up a bit with some unique entertainment. Maybe you can hire some fire-breathers, a comedy act, or simply play a game of Monopoly. Make your New Year’s Eve party a memorable experience. And of course, don’t forget the fireworks!

Follow these steps and you’re bound to have a superb end to 2016!
