New Year's Eve is one of the biggest party nights of the year and with everyone looking to mark the New Year with a big celebration, getting your party requests in early is the key to having a great night. If you don't book early, then you run the risk of having a night to forget rather than remember.

Here are some examples of the advantages of booking early or consequences of being late:

1) Venues

Book Early:

You find the perfect location for you and your friends to celebrate all night long, PLUS you get a full choice on all the optional extras for that special touch.

Don’t Book Early:

The night resorts to a few glasses of champagne at your Mum and Dad’s house with the fireworks on the TV.

2) Prices

Book Early:

Get a huge array of discounts on all your party essentials and if you are in a large group, some venues will even give a discounted price on a bigger booking!

Don’t Book Early:

Wait until the last possible minute and pay extortionate prices on basic packages as venues look to sell out for the night. An overpriced and uninspiring night out awaits you!

3) Dinner

Book Early:

Find a top venue offering a special New Year’s Eve 5 course sit down dinner, with some complimentary glasses of champagne for you and your guests.

Don’t Book Early:

Drink way too much cheap champagne round your mate’s house and end up chucking a few pizzas in the oven for everyone to share.

4) Romantic City Break

Book Early:

Find a great bargain on a trip to your favourite city and make a big saving on your flights and luxury hotel. Maybe you get to Paris for a memorable view of the fireworks.

Don’t Book Early:

Settle for a last minute, one night stay in a ropey hotel and a 20 minute cab ride into town to get a glimpse of some fireworks, ANY fireworks.

5) Boat Party with West End on The Thames

Book Early:

Get a luxury river vessel with all the features of a top night club and restaurant that sails through the heart of London for unmatched views of the fireworks. Receive discount on your New Year’s Eve package and customize your night with loads of unique extras. Relax and let us take care of the preparation so you can focus on inviting guests and finding a killer outfit for the night.

Don’t Book Early:

Be disappointed as you discover all the boats have been booked up and end up standing in a long, winding queue for a nightclub you promised yourself you would never go back to and pray that you will be let in before midnight!

So now what...

As we all know, New Year’s Eve is one of the key party nights of the year, so book early to avoid disappointment. New Year’s Eve is more than just a night out, it is an experience and getting the right atmosphere is vital. You can go to a night club any night of the year, so treat yourself to a luxury New Year’s Eve boat party you will remember. Share the night with all your friends and feel the buzz of the city as you sail down the river. Don’t get stuck with a last resort, plan ahead and celebrate NYE in style.
