In Melbourne, you'll find an array of 1st birthday venues just as diverse and lively as the city itself. These include:
- Party rooms and function spaces like the Deck Kids Party Room at The Deck Brighton Kids or the Sports Center Function Room. Picture your little one and their friends having a blast in these vibrant spaces!
- Cafes with private events space, for example, Lennox Cafe or The Expressionist. These spots offer the perfect balance between adult-friendly relaxation and child-centric fun.
- Unusual spaces that'll have everyone talking, such as The Beer Garden at the Keysborough Hotel or the Event Space at Artea - Art School & Party Venue. In these spots, unique charm meets party vibes.
Outdoor spaces like The Garden at Novotel Melbourne Preston, for those parents who believe that their children's laughter is best echoed under the clear Melbourne sky.
For your munchkin's first Melbourne bash, we recommend starting your venue hunt 1-2 months prior to the event. You can find a spot if you book at least 2 weeks in advance, but you are pushing your luck. Earlier is truly better in this case and you'll give yourself more time to plan the rest of your party to perfection. After all, early birds catch the best party spots and have the smoothest party planning experiences!
