How a Brisbane 50th Birthday Comes Together

A 50th is usually a proper celebration, with speeches, a slideshow and a guest list spanning several generations. In Brisbane the strongest options are rooms you can hire outright, so the night runs to your plan rather than the venue's.

Give guests plenty of notice, as many will travel from across the city or further.

Rooms worth looking at for a 50th:

  • A CBD rooftop high above Queen Street, $2,500 room hire, pairing an indoor room with a deck that looks out to the Story Bridge
  • A Loganholme basement room with a stage, lighting and a dance floor, $3,550 room hire, for up to 150
  • A Moorooka warehouse with a covered deck and PA, $2,365 room hire, for a more casual crowd
  • A Calamvale pub-hotel with a large ballroom and suites on site for guests staying over

With room hire you bring your own food, so line up one of the caterers who serve canapés, buffets or seated menus. A DJ who MCs keeps the speeches on time, and a photographer covers the family shots.

Running the night

  • Plan the speeches early in the evening, before the dance floor fills
  • Give the MC a running sheet with names, so introductions go smoothly
  • Test a slideshow on the venue's screen or sound system before the day
  • Book DJs who play older and newer songs, so every age group dances

Food for a 50th

  • Canapés suit a cocktail crowd, while a seated menu suits speeches and toasts
  • Ask the caterer to supply service staff, so the host is not running the kitchen
  • Check whether the venue has a kitchen or the caterer needs to bring its own gear

Brisbane practicalities

  • The CBD rooftop is close to trains and buses, while the Logan and Calamvale venues have parking
  • A party bus can collect guests from several suburbs
  • In summer, ask how an outdoor deck is covered if an afternoon storm arrives
