So, remember these 3 things to consider when choosing a Private Dining Room.

First, What food does the buck like?
The old adage that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach is true. So make sure you know what the buck likes to eat and find a private dining room that can deliver.
Steak? Yep, you can get that. Seafood spreads? Yep, you can get that too? 15 types of sliders? You betcha, just say the word.
A bucks party in a Private Dining Room gives you a lot of options for the menu. It could be a mountain of meat, a three-course a-la-carte meal or a 15 course degustation with matching wine. What ever it is, make sure you work with the restaurant’s staff to plan a spread that that buck will really enjoy.

Second, What drinks does the buck like?
No doubt the buck will have a favourite drink that he’d love to have free flowing all night long. It’s your job to make sure that drink, or those drinks, are on the restaurant’s drinks menu. Many private dining venues will have a specialty – perhaps its high-end wines from a particular region, an eye-widening array of craft beers or a cocktails made on the buck’s go-to spirit.
One great option is to go for a degustation where you can get the chef to match the buck’s favourite foods with his favourite drink and deliver a real sensory experience. Get the matching right, and the buck will be remembering this night for the rest of his marriage and will probably try to recreate the experience with his wife for years to come just to prove that the bucks party was a good influence on their nuptials.

Lastly, What overall experience do you want?
Will it be a high-brow fine-dining sit-down event? Perhaps you want something a bit more interactive that provides a dinner and an experience? Or maybe you just want a space that the buck and the crew can commander for a few hours so you can run your own show and someone else brings the food and drinks?
What ever overall experience you want, private dining is always more than just eating in drinking. You’ll probably want a speech or two, maybe a ‘sensible’ prank and some undoubtedly a couple of other festivities. Work out what you want to do and make sure you discuss it with the venue. Some venues might be more accepting than other when it comes to extra-curricular activities, and there will likely be some things that simply are not tolerated.
And remember, if you have no idea what you’re doing – or you want to do something a bit borderline – discuss your ideas with the venues you’re looking at. No doubt they would have hosted one or two events and will have some killer ideas to help make the Private Dining Room experience the best time of his life, before the best day of his life!
