Conviviality is the friendliness and cheerful warmth of a gathering, or a person’s gift for making a room feel that way. Writers use it for the atmosphere at a meal, a wedding, or an old pub — that easy, talkative pleasure in being together. It is not a word for wild excitement or for a huge festival crowd; it sits closer to good company than to noise. You will find it in fairly formal or literary English. In speech, people more often say “a friendly atmosphere” or “good company.” Though actually, you can praise a person’s conviviality as a character trait: they bring that warmth with them, even before the food arrives.
