Planning a Melbourne Hens Party

A Melbourne hens party tends to fall into two halves: something the group does together in the afternoon, then somewhere to eat, drink and talk until late. The listings here cover both, along with the hosts, cars and boats that link one part of the day to the next.

For the activity, the Inner North is where the dance studios sit. Maison Burlesque in Thornbury runs private workshops for hens groups of eight or more, and Bottoms Up Dance Brunswick teaches a 75-minute party routine from $40 per person, with props and dress-ups on hand. If the bride would rather make something, Little Lon Distilling Co. in the CBD and Here's Looking at You, Kid in North Melbourne both run gin sessions from $95 per person, while Sossy and Canvas hosts painting parties in its Elsternwick gallery from $490 per group.

Evenings tend to move into the city and the inner south. Rooftop @ State of Grace on King Street and Garden State Hotel on Flinders Lane both start from $40 per person, and The Sunroom @ Hotel Esplanade in St Kilda looks out across the bay. On the water, MV Pearl leaves Docklands with a chef on board, and Melbourne River Cruises runs function boats along the Yarra River.

Ways Melbourne hens groups put the day together:

  • Class, then cocktails: a dance or gin session in the Inner North, followed by a CBD rooftop or a pub function room
  • Cruise first: a skippered charter with Melbourne Boat Hire (from $880 per hour, minimum 2-hour charter) or Party Boat Cruises (from $300 per hour), then dinner at Left Bank Melbourne on the Southbank Promenade
  • Ride between stops: Hummer X Limousines, Triple Hummer Limos and Mr Hummer Limos send stretch Hummers to every Melbourne region
  • Hosts for adult guests: LuckyLadds and Butlers in the Buff supply topless waiters by the hour, while MenXclusive and Cheeky Strippers book male performers for a single show

Rooms for the night itself are gathered on the hens party venues page, and charters are compared under hens party boats.
