How to Plan an 18th B'Day in Southern Highlands

An 18th in the Highlands is often held at home, in a shed or on the family property, with a DJ and a dance floor at its heart. Parents usually want a safe, well-run night; teenagers want the right music.

DJs here cover Mittagong, Berrima, Bowral, Moss Vale and Robertson, though not every DJ travels to the southern villages.

What an 18th usually needs:

  • A DJ with MC hosting and a photo booth from $900
  • An open-format DJ who plans the set with you and reads the room
  • Speeches handled by the MC so parents can relax
  • Lighting for a shed or marquee dance floor
  • Food from one of the region's caterers
  • A marquee with sides and heaters, since frost can settle on a Highlands paddock well before midnight
  • Retro and current hits mixed together, so parents and friends both get a turn on the floor

Set clear start and finish times, and plan how everyone gets home before the night begins.
