Pinata Party – Ground Level, Substation No4
REGISTER HERE TO COMMENT ON THE PARTY
Saturday night was my Pinata Birthday Party event, held at Ground Level, Substation No4, Petrie Terrace in Brisbane.
It was an unusual event to have in the first place, let alone a 27th birthday! However, I love throwing parties, and I haven’t had much opportunity to have many this year.
After a few phone calls, looking for places which would allow pinatas, I found Substation No4. Thanks to Bec, my work colleague, I booked the venue for June 23rd.
To pay for the venue, I knew I’d have to have a cover charge of $20. This covered the venue, frozen cocktail machine, spirits for the machine, wine, food, equipment, soft drink and most importantly the pinatas, toys, lollies and fillings!
There were 7 Pinatas in total, including the traditional bull, butterflies, a star, and a fish. Filled with over hundreds if not thousands of lollies which burst into the crowds when cracked open.
There were approximately 140 people in attendance for the evening, a record number for any private party i’ve held so it was great to see that turn-out.
Anna Weatherup and Dale Carmody both played acoustic sets for the guests, whilst Cameron & Patrick gave the crowd a blast from the past rendition of “Ice Ice Baby”.
Mum was at the event helping out (in a big way), taking care of the food, greeting guests, decorating the venue and being the official photographer for the night. Thank you mum!
Amanda and my brother Ellery also played their part, by helping with decorations and checking guests as they arrived off the list.
The frozen cocktail machine consisted of Magarita on one side and Strawberry Daiquiri on the other. This machine was supplied by CitySlush
I had chairs, tables and the bain-marie supplied by All-Well Hire.
Finger food was supplied by Harry’s on Petrie Tce and Pizza was supplied by Pizza Hut.
Wristbands were supplied by AAC Wristbands
Pinata’s were supplied by Spotlight
Lollies and confectionary were supplied by Tom’s Confectionary Warehouse
