Birthday Party Venues in Belmont

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Lake Macquarie is the backdrop either way in Belmont, but the two birthday rooms here work at very different scales. The South East View @ Belmont 16s Sailing Club is a first-floor event room on The Parade, out over the eastern shore of Belmont Bay, while TINTA Belmont, at 690 Pacific Hwy, is a lakefront restaurant your party takes over outright.

For a big 21st, 40th or 60th with a dance floor and a crowd from every part of someone's life, the sailing club has the room. For a long-table dinner with close family and friends, the restaurant is the more intimate pick.

What each Belmont room brings to a birthday:

Room to grow – opened up as one, the South East View fits 350 for cocktails or 120 to 230 at tables.
Halves for smaller crowds – the East View seats 50 to 80 and the South View 80 to 120, so a 21st needn't rattle around a room built for hundreds.
Your own restaurant – nobody else dines at TINTA during your function; a birthday dinner there tops out at 100 seated, a cocktail party at about 150 with the deck.
Speeches without fuss – TINTA throws in a microphone, lectern and house PA that takes a phone.
A floor for dancing – white marble at the sailing club; at TINTA, seated numbers drop to 80 once one is set up.

Celebration packages at the club start from $79 per person whether you go cocktail or seated, and TINTA's canapé packages run from $39 per person – so headcount and food style usually decide it.

Guest lists past 150 – the club room stretches further, and its covered decks on two sides add more space again.
Family around one long table – TINTA's chef-selected shared plates, or an alternate-drop dinner of two or three courses, keep the focus on the table.
Arriving by water – a private jetty at the club takes boats and even seaplanes; drivers get free on-site parking.
Bringing a band – the club lets hirers book their own musicians or DJ, while TINTA's amplified music stops at 11pm.

Belmont birthday budgets and bookings

Grazing at TINTA – canapés roam for two to four hours, and oyster, sashimi, paella or sweets stations can join them.
Two bars, two systems – a private bar with drink packages or a tab at the club; bronze, silver or gold packages, or pay on consumption, at TINTA.
Deposits compared – 10% at the club, 30% at TINTA, which also wants final numbers a fortnight out.
Help with the detail – the club's events team can theme the room and line up entertainment suppliers; TINTA's booking covers coordination and staff.

Common Questions About Venues for Birthday Parties
