Eighteenth birthday party venue suggestions

Hiya,

Not sure if this is still relevant but thought of pitching in an idea !

Had a mates B day party and hired one of the sumo wrestling gear and was a total hit !

http://www.canberrasumosuits.com.au/ was the mob .

My 2 cents.

Our school had their year 12 afterparty there. I just found that it was so cold (in the middle of summer), obviously kinda smelt like cattle and was very remote. This would tend to be a good thing although it was pretty easy for gate crashers to get to. There is no security and multiple entrances so there is pretty easy access to the venue. It does provide a good space though.

Speaking of bush, I know someone who had they’re wedding and afterparty at the Yarralumla woolshed. I’m currently sorting out my 18th, and thought that would be a great place as its further away from houses and such. Yeah or nah?

Go further south until you get to the bush. Have the party there where the “18ths” can go feral without damaging your homestead.

Don’t Maccas have party rooms?

Glad your daughter isn’t a douche, I wouldn’t worry too much about gatecrashers, like I was saying, with them, bullshit breeds with bullshit. They never pick a party at random to rock up to, they’re folk who have heard of a great party and assume they’re invited (like the douches they are).

Thanks DJPea, I’ll check them out.

I eventually did find a club (thanks to pptvb) and have made a tentative booking at The Canberra Services Club.

Sadly the party isn’t for me (how I’d love to be 18 again!) but for my daughter who definitely isn’t a douche. Her friends are good kids and I’ll make sure they keep it quiet (unlike a party they all attended last year where there ended up being hundreds of kids (and police) in attendance) 🙂

I believe you can hire Tharwa village hall. Bit remote and you have to cater everything yourself.

OJOS or The Maram both book out their rooms.

Instead of assuming clubs not wanting to hold 18th’s, just call them, the worst that they can do is say “no”, then you call the next club. Best bet would be to try a pub though, they would seem happier about your business and more than willing to cater (even though they may still be open for standard business instead of having a closed door party).

Also you shouldn’t worry about “gatecrashers” unless you’re a douche, your friends are douches and there is another group of people who are also douches that don’t like you.

In other words, tell your friends to keep the word on the party quite, you shouldn’t have any unwelcoming guests (except maybe a stray punter that I’m sure the venue can take care of).
