Plan My Party

How a Canberra Anniversary Party Comes Together

A milestone anniversary is often planned by the couple's children, which means balancing what the couple would enjoy with a guest list of several generations. Comfort matters: good seating, a room that is easy to reach and speeches people can hear.

The ACT gives you everything from a club dining room to a cellar-door day out in the wine district.

Some ways to mark the years together:

  • Lakeside fine dining at Parkes, from $85 per person, suits a seated dinner for close family.
  • Clubs at Deakin and Queanbeyan have big rooms and set menus, with Deakin from $40 per person and a Queanbeyan rooftop terrace from $37 per person.
  • An old social club in Turner has a hall with a stage and a Polish kitchen of its own, which keeps speeches easy to see and hear.
  • A bushland estate at Sutton has indoor and outdoor spaces for a larger garden celebration.
  • A chauffeured limousine day to Murrumbateman cellar doors, from $250 per person, suits a couple and a few friends.
  • A private party boat from Kingston on Lake Burley Griffin takes up to 35 guests.

Ask venues about step-free access and seating near the speeches if older relatives are coming. See more venues.

Planning for every generation

  • Seat the couple where everyone can see them, with family close by.
  • Keep music low enough for conversation during the meal, then lift it afterwards.
  • A slideshow of wedding photos and family years works well; ask whether the room has a screen.
  • Hire an MC or choose one relative to keep the toasts in order.

Dressing the room

  • Event stylists can theme a room to the anniversary, such as silver, ruby or gold.
  • Event florists can match flowers to the couple's wedding bouquet.
  • A dessert or gelato cart from caterers adds a treat for younger guests.

Out-of-town settings

  • Sutton, Bungendore and the Gold Creek area of Gungahlin feel more relaxed than the city centre.
  • For wine-district venues, arrange a bus or driver so nobody has to worry about the trip home.
  • A fireside restaurant in Bungendore suits a winter anniversary, when evenings are frosty.

Anniversary Celebrations, Explained

Where can we hold a 50th wedding anniversary dinner near the lake?

Lakeside fine dining at Parkes and clubs in Deakin or the Inner South suit a seated family dinner. Ask about step-free access for older guests.

How much is a winery day for an anniversary couple?

A chauffeured limousine wine tour to Murrumbateman cellar doors starts from $250 per person on this page.

Can an anniversary be celebrated on Lake Burley Griffin?

Yes. A two-deck party boat leaves Kingston for private charters of up to 35 guests.

What suits a big family anniversary in Queanbeyan?

Queanbeyan clubs and hotels have function floors, including a rooftop terrace with menus from $37 per person and a Karabar football club auditorium for 100-plus guests.

Is a bushland estate at Sutton a good anniversary setting?

For a larger celebration with garden time, yes. The Sutton estate has four indoor and outdoor event spaces. Plan transport home, as it sits beyond the city's edge.

How do the children of the couple usually plan an anniversary party?

Agree on a budget and guest list first, then pick the venue. One person liaising with the venue avoids crossed wires.
