Your Central Coast 21st Birthday Planning Guide

A 21st usually brings the longest guest list someone has had – school friends, uni or work mates, cousins, and the parents' friends who've known the birthday person since day one. On the Central Coast the answer is mostly a pub with a room of its own, and they're spread from Umina Beach on the peninsula up to Wyong.

Wyong Milk Factory Tavern is built for a crowd: five function areas, an upstairs DO Room with its own bar, terrace and dance floor for 100, and room hire from $400. Ocean Beach Hotel's Westview Room at Umina Beach has its own bar, entrance and projector for 50, with minimum spends from $500 Monday to Thursday and DJ and karaoke packages. In Gosford, Hotel Gosford's covered beer garden has a retractable roof, while Bay Road Brewing can be hired outright for 100 standing, pouring 19 craft beers brewed on site with a food truck doing tacos and loaded fries.

Woodport Hotel in Erina and The Lakes Hotel at The Entrance round out the pub options when numbers climb, with up to 400 cocktail-style at Woodport and up to 120 in the Front Bar at The Lakes Hotel. Away from the pubs, The Savoy Bar and Music in Long Jetty puts a 21st inside a heritage-listed former cinema with a live music stage, and The Surf Club Avoca Beach hires a first-floor hall with its own stage above the sand.

Extras that come to your venue, and a few to start the day:

  • Soho DJ: live sets with QSC or Bose speakers, a lighting rig, a wireless microphone and the wooden SOHO DJ booth.
  • Shooting Stars Photobooth: the Photo Pod, a timber Vintage Booth or a 360 video booth, each with an attendant and online gallery, from $550.
  • Air Art Balloons and Celebration Set Ups: custom balloon archways, or signs, lanterns and lawn games from $120.
  • Bangin Bus Tours: a party bus for up to 50, with an optional DJ on board.
  • Kartatak Raceway or The Paintball Place Kulnura: drift karts in Tuggerah or bush paintball for the afternoon.

Still choosing? The 18th birthday party page covers younger crowds, and the photobooths page has more on booth hire.
