Guide to Throwing a Successful Party (Without the Stress)

Welcome to the **Designed Events** blog — your new favorite corner of the internet for all things celebration, style, and stress-free planning! Whether you're throwing a birthday bash, a graduation send-What Makes a Party “Successful”?

Success isn’t about spending the most or having the fanciest things — it’s about:

- Creating an experience guests enjoy and remember

- Staying organized and ahead of the curve

- Making smart decisions based on your budget and your *why*

And yes — it helps to have a space that does half the heavy lifting for you. (More on that in a second.)

-- 💸 What’s the Average Cost to Rent an Event Space?

According to industry data, the average cost to rent a venue in the U.S. ranges from **$1,500–$4,000** depending on the day, size, and location. In the Atlanta metro area, full-day Saturday events typically fall between **$2,500 and $5,000**, not including extras like décor, food, or rentals.

At **Designed Events**, we intentionally keep our pricing competitive — with packages that include:

✔️ Tables and chairs

✔️ A sound system and mic setup

✔️ Dressing rooms

✔️ Wi-Fi + a moveable bar

✔️ Day-of event insurance

✔️ A sleek, modern space with up to **4,080 sq. ft.** and room for **250 guests**

We’ve designed the space to be a blank canvas — flexible, functional, and fabulous — so you can truly make it your own without needing to spend a fortune.
