Birthday Party Venues in Norah Head

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Norah Head birthdays head upstairs to the Lighthouse Room at Dunes by Dish, the function space above Soldiers Beach. A lift brings guests up, and the balcony next door comes with the room.

A Soldiers Beach birthday at a glance:

Up to 144 guests for a cocktail party, or 120 at long tables for a sit-down milestone.
A private bar with its own staff, so the birthday crowd isn't queuing with restaurant diners.
A microphone and projector for speeches and a photo slideshow.
Rolling tapas, cocktail menus, plated service or family-style share platters, with grazing tables as an add-on.

The daytime slot runs from late morning into the afternoon, suiting a family birthday with grandparents.
An evening slot suits a party that keeps going after dark.
High ceilings and windows on the beach side mean the room needs little styling.
The room and verandahs are non-smoking, so plan around that for any smokers in the group.
