Birthday Party Venues in Burbank

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Burbank sits on the bushy southern edge of Brisbane, where Cherbon Waters keeps a private garden on the shore of the Leslie Harrison Reservoir. It was built for weddings, but it also takes birthdays, so a milestone party gets the same lawns, marquee and lit-up cove.

What a Cherbon Waters birthday involves:

The marquee is permanent, hung with silk and chandeliers, with a sandstone bar and timber dance floor; round tables fit 160, long tables 200.
Room to grow: a big family 50th or 60th can stretch to 320 guests, since the marquee extends for an extra charge.
Four courses as standard: canapés outside on the grass, two plated courses and a dessert, with tea and coffee to close.
Drinks are BYO and the booking covers glassware and bar staff, which keeps the bar bill in your hands.
Speeches run through the in-house speakers and a cordless mic, and a band or DJ can play inside.

The whole property is hired to one party, so guests have the gardens, gazebo and cove to themselves for the night.

Dietary needs are covered, with vegetarian, vegan and allergy-friendly options built into the four courses.
An Indian menu with street food, curries, biryani and naan is offered, which some families choose for a milestone birthday.
Canapés are served out on the lawn first, so guests can mingle by the water before sitting down in the marquee.
Guests park free on site, handy for grandparents coming from around the southside.

Why the reservoir setting changes a Burbank party

The marquee looks out over Reflection Cove, which is lit after dark, giving an evening party a backdrop without extra styling.
Sweeping lawns, native bush and gum trees surround the venue, a quieter feel than a pub function room.
Before dinner, gather under the covered gazebo by the water for a toast or the group photos.
A private viewing can be arranged first, so you can see the marquee layout before committing to numbers.
