Frequently Asked

Frequently asked: Party Radar

When is the graduation party in 2027?

The spring 2027 graduation party is on Saturday 5.6.2027, when the school year ends. The day has been confirmed from the calendars of Helsinki schools, so check with your own school.

How much does it cost to rent a party venue?

Prices vary a lot: for example, the King's Hall of Turku Castle costs 130 €/h during the day and 250 €/h in the evening (2025 price list), and the Sampola party hall in Tampere costs 180 € VAT 0 (2025). The prices of public and parish facilities are often cheaper than private ones.

Can a parish hall be rented for a wedding party?

Yes. For example, in the Haaga parish, a wedding party of less than 6 hours is free for church members and 100 € for others (2026). Ask for prices and terms from your own parish.

What is the most popular wedding month in Finland?

In 2025, the most couples got married in August (3,506) and the second most in July (3,041) (Statistics Finland). A total of 22,082 marriages were concluded throughout the year, so it's a good idea to book summer Saturdays well in advance.

Where can I find a party venue?

The Venuu service has over 7,100 venues from different parts of Finland (10/2026). Additionally, it's worth checking the booking services of cities, such as Helsinki's Varaamo, as well as parish and museum facilities.

Can a party venue booking be cancelled within 14 days?

Usually not. The right of cancellation under Chapter 6 of the Consumer Protection Act does not apply to leisure services that have been agreed upon for a specific date or period. Cancellation fees are determined by the terms of the booking agreement, so read them before confirmation.

What is usually included in the party venue price?

It varies by venue. Always ask if the price includes cleaning, dishes, linens, technology, a caretaker and value-added tax. For example, the price of the Tampere Sampola party hall (180 € VAT 0, 2025) also includes a caretaker's hourly fee of 35–70 €/h.

How many confirmation parties are held per year?

In 2024, 48,682 young people attended confirmation school, which is 73% of the 15-year-old age group (Church Council). Confirmations are concentrated in the summer, on the same weekends as weddings and graduation parties.

Are company Christmas parties tax-free for employees?

Yes, if the event is ordinary and reasonably priced and is available to all staff (Tax Administration's instructions VH/7540/00.01.00/2024). There is no fixed euro amount in the instructions. The participation of a spouse can be accepted if it is ordinary.

Can a company deduct the VAT of Christmas parties?

The VAT of ordinary recreational events for staff is deductible for a VAT-liable company, and the expenses are fully deductible in income tax. If the event is intended for customer representation, VAT cannot be deducted (AVL 114 §) and only 50% is deductible in income tax.

What VAT rate applies to party catering in 2026?

The VAT rate for restaurant and meal services is 13.5% from January 1, 2026. The general VAT rate of 25.5% applies to the serving of alcoholic beverages and, for example, programme services.

Does the party venue lessor have to charge VAT?

Rental of mere premises is basically exempt from value-added tax as a transfer of the right to use real estate (VAT Act 27 §). If the rent includes a significant amount of other services, such as catering, technology or staff, the whole may be a taxable service. VAT liability arises when taxable sales exceed €20,000 in a calendar year. The premises can also be rented with VAT to a VAT-liable tenant by becoming tax-liable under certain conditions.

Tips

This is how you benefit from the information

  1. Book a party space for graduation parties (Sat 5 June 2027) and summer Saturday weddings in good time – July and August are the most popular wedding months of the year.
  2. Ask about parish premises: for example, in the Haaga parish, a wedding party under 6 hours is free of charge for church members.
  3. Compare day and evening prices: in Turun linna, the evening rent is almost twice the day rent.
  4. Winter and weekday weddings are often easier to arrange and more affordable than summer Saturdays.
  5. Check if you can bring your own food and drinks to the premises – it affects the total cost more than the rent.
  6. Request an offer so that the rent, catering, cleaning and dishes are shown separately. Only then can you compare the premises with each other.
  7. Check the cancellation terms before booking: consumers do not have a 14-day right to cancel in leisure services agreed upon for a specific day (Consumer Protection Act, Chapter 6).
  8. Keep staff Christmas parties and customer events separate: the costs and VAT of Christmas parties are deductible, the VAT of representation is not, and in income tax, only 50% of it is deducted.
  9. Invite all staff to the Christmas party. Tax exemption requires that the recreational activity is available to all and is not a reward.
  10. If you rent out your own party space, check the VAT status: renting out the space alone is initially VAT-free, but catering and other significant additional services can make the overall package taxable. The VAT registration threshold is €20,000 per year.
