A Melbourne birthday can be twelve kids at a disco in the lounge room or two hundred friends spread across a pub's first floor, and the listings on this page cover both ends. Venues sit in every region, from Young & Jackson on the corner of Swanston and Flinders Streets to The Manhattan Ballroom @ Plaza Tavern in Hoppers Crossing, a high-ceilinged room with a long bar of its own. Travelling suppliers come to you, so a backyard or a hired hall works just as well as a function room.
Budgets stretch further than many people expect. Platter packages start From $14 per person at Three Crowns Hotel in West Melbourne, and both the Eltham Hotel and The Function Room @ Commercial Hotel in South Morang list canapés From $22 per person. Want the party to go somewhere? A crewed charter on MV Pearl or a Yarra River trip with Classic Steamboat Cruises (From $523 per hour) turns the night into an outing, while Strike Bowling Melbourne Central, Holey Moley Chadstone, MANIAX Abbotsford and Delta Force Paintball Melbourne in Heatherton give a group something to do before the cake.
Common ways a Melbourne birthday gets put together:
Planning around a particular age? The 21st birthday and children's party pages show only the listings tagged for those.
Yes. Kids' entertainers such as Melbourne Fairy Parties, Little Party Faces and Kidz Party Discos travel to every Melbourne region, and DJs like Entertainment First and Top Dog Entertainment do the same for adult parties.
Three Crowns Hotel in West Melbourne lists platters From $14 per person, with a minimum group of 10. The Eltham Hotel and The Function Room @ Commercial Hotel in South Morang both start From $22 per person.

Strike Bowling Melbourne Central, Holey Moley Melbourne CBD, Escape Hunt Melbourne and MANIAX Melbourne CBD all take group bookings, with food and drinks available on site at most of them.
Little Party Faces performers bring battery speakers, so no power is needed. Kidz Party Discos sets up its own sound and disco lighting, so check the room has power where the DJ will stand.
The Manhattan Ballroom @ Plaza Tavern in Hoppers Crossing holds up to 350 standing, and Function Room @ Glengala Hotel in Sunshine and The Phoenix Hotel in Point Cook are also in the Western Suburbs.
Face Painting Melbourne, We Love Face Painting (From $320) and Face Creations (From $230) travel to every region, and Rosy Red Face Painting covers the south and east. Face Creations and We Love Face Painting can twist balloons as well.
