Anniversary Party in Cairns

How a Cairns Anniversary Party Comes Together

Anniversaries range from a quiet dinner with both families to a big 25th or 50th with everyone who came to the wedding. In the far north they often combine a meal with a waterfront setting, a chauffeured car and a photographer to mark the day.

Options for marking the occasion:

A set-menu dinner at an Esplanade restaurant, with share-style menus from $65 per person.
A courtyard restaurant in Stratford Village from $49 per person, or a steakhouse at The Pier for a larger table.
A function room with marina views on a $3,000 minimum spend for a big milestone party.
An exclusive waterfront space on the Port Douglas marina boardwalk that seats 50.
A hall at an Atherton community club for a country-style celebration with the extended family.
A chauffeured car from $135 per hour, or a limousine, plus a photographer for portraits.

For a vow renewal with a ceremony, a celebrant can lead it as part of the party.

Gather old photos for a slideshow and ask the venue about a screen.
Choose a room with air conditioning for older guests, especially in the wet months.
Book early for a dry-season weekend if many guests are travelling to join you.

Small and private

A pop-up picnic with bell tents can be set up for two or a small family group.
A private dining room keeps a dinner intimate while the staff look after the details.
An hour or two with a photographer captures a family portrait while everyone is together.
