At Sassy Events, we believe the perfect party starts with the perfect venue. The right space doesn’t just hold your guests — it sets the tone, elevates your theme, and creates those unforgettable moments everyone talks about long after the last song plays.
If you’re planning a birthday, engagement party, baby shower, corporate event or milestone celebration in Portsmouth, here are four venues we absolutely love styling — and why they work so beautifully for our clients.
Our Recommended venues
🌟 Spinnaker Tower – For Events That Truly Wow
If you want your guests to say “WOW” the moment they arrive, this is the venue.
Why we love styling here:
1. The Views Do Half the Work
With panoramic views across Portsmouth Harbour and the Solent, you already have a breathtaking backdrop. We design décor that enhances the skyline rather than competes with it — think elegant balloon installs, statement florals, and luxe table styling.
2. A Modern, Sleek Canvas
The contemporary interiors allow us to go bold and glamorous or keep things chic and minimalist. It’s incredibly versatile for themed events.
3. Built-In Guest Experience
Drinks at sunset? A skyline birthday celebration? A corporate event with impact? Hosting an event this high up makes it memorable before the party even begins.
4. Incredible Photo Opportunities
From golden-hour celebrations to evening city lights, the photo potential here is unmatched — which means stunning content for you (and us!).
5. Perfect for Milestone Moments
30ths, 40ths, engagements, corporate launches — this venue elevates any occasion in every sense of the word.
🍸 Becketts Southsea – Intimate, Stylish & Full of Character
If you’re looking for a venue that feels personal, stylish and effortlessly cool — Becketts is always high on our recommendation list.
Why we love styling here:
1. Character-Filled Interiors
Set within beautiful Georgian townhouses, the space already has warmth and charm. Think exposed brick, cosy corners and statement bars — perfect for layered, textured styling.
2. Ideal for Intimate to Mid-Size Celebrations
Whether it’s a 30th birthday, engagement drinks or a chic baby shower, the layout creates a social, connected atmosphere where guests naturally mingle.
3. Chic Bar Vibes
With a well-loved cocktail bar at its heart, this venue already feels like a celebration space. We enhance it with floral installations, balloon styling or bespoke signage to tie your theme together.
4. Instagram-Ready Corners
From lounge areas to feature walls, there are so many built-in photo spots — and we love adding statement backdrops to elevate those moments even more.
5. Relaxed but Elevated Feel
It strikes the perfect balance between laid-back and luxury — which makes it ideal for clients who want stylish without feeling overly formal.
🎉 Waterside Club & Bar at Baffins Milton Rovers FC – The Hidden Gem with Party Potential
Don’t overlook this one — it’s one of Portsmouth’s most adaptable party spaces.

This is where creativity shines. The flexible layout allows us to completely transform the space — whether you want glam, boho, disco vibes or elegant neutrals.
2. Great for Larger Guest Lists
Need room for dancing, DJs, and a big celebration? This venue gives you space to design flow — from welcome drinks to dancefloor moments.

The club-style setup instantly feels social and energetic — perfect for birthdays, engagement parties and celebration nights.

We love helping clients achieve high-end styling in accessible venues. With the right décor, lighting and statement pieces, this space becomes something truly special.
5. Community Feel
It’s relaxed, welcoming and ideal for events where you want guests to feel comfortable and ready to celebrate.

Every celebration is different — and that’s why we work closely with our clients to recommend the perfect space based on:
• Guest numbers
