Browse Best Birthday Party Venues

Whether it is a first birthday, a kids' party or a milestone celebration, the right venue makes planning easy. Use this guide to pick the right kind of place and compare packages fairly.

Start with four decisions

1. Who is it for. A toddler's party, a teen's get-together and an adult celebration need different spaces, food and timings.
2. Guest count. Count adults and children separately, since many packages charge them differently.
3. Date and time. Weekend evenings are the busiest. Afternoons and weekdays are often cheaper and easier to book.
4. Budget. Decide a per-guest amount for food and space, then add decor, cake and entertainment.

Pick the right type of venue

Party halls

Private space for decor, cake cutting and games. Best for family and kids' parties.

Cafes and restaurants

Good food with little setup. Great for small groups and teen or adult parties.

Rooftops

Open-air evenings with a view. Ask about weather backup and music limits.

Banquet halls

Room for bigger guest lists and milestone birthdays like a 1st, 50th or 60th.

Poolside and farmhouses

Daytime fun and privacy for larger groups.

Understand party packages

• Per person: food and soft drinks for a fixed number of hours. Check the minimum number of guests.
• Private area or minimum spend: some cafes and lounges reserve a space if you spend a set amount.
• Extras: decor, outside cake, entertainers, DJ and extra time are often charged separately.

Know when to book

For weekend parties at popular places, book a few weeks ahead. Weekday and afternoon slots are usually easier to get at short notice.

Check these on your visit

• Space for games, a play area or a dance floor, and safety for small children.
• Sound and timing rules, and parking for guests.
• The advance amount and cancellation terms, in writing.
