I’m looking to host the biggest pinata party in Brisbane again on July 5th for my Birthday. I can’t reveal too much but after last year’s effort which entertained 150 people with approximately 13 Pinatas, 20 kg’s of lollies, 100 toys and free gifts, 250 Spring Rolls, 1 Pregnant woman, 12 Pizza’s, 40 Litres of frozen cocktail drink, 40 kgs of ice, 180 Litres of beer, 140 Litres of spirits & wine… I’m looking to top that this year!
Stay tuned- contact me to get onto my priority notification list!
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

News:
ATTENDANCE:
As this is a closed door event, only people on the list will be allowed in, please be respectful of this and do not try and bring people on the night. When you arrive you will be required to have a shot of alcohol (unless you are driving). Then you be given a wrist band so that you can enter in and out of the venue.
NO RANDOM GUESTS OR PEOPLE OFF THE STREET ALLOWED IN
Alcohol:
I’ve booked the frozen cocktail slushy machine, there is enough for 220-240 drinks so you’ll have to get to the party on time to take advantage of that. Otherwise there will be wine available as indicated on the invite - Remember this is also a BYO event so feel free to bring your own eskies and drinks (we’ll have as much as we can hold and soft drink for mixers!)
Payment:
Thanks everyone who has paid so far, I still have people unpaid so can you please let me know?
Dress Code:
There have been a few people asking me if you have to dress up as a Pinata, no you don’t . Dress to impress as if you are going to a party. We will have some fun props for people to wear around so look forward to that! arghh matey!
Food:
After speaking with my “committee” Thanks Anna, Leesa, Noni, Bec, Paul and Helen, it seems easier to order pizza and have that as the heavy food and then have spring rolls, chips, biscuits and dip for snacking on. I’ll probably do 2 rounds of ordering.
Entertainment:
Anna Weatherup will do a small set, she’s a close friend of mine so i’m not gonna make her work - she’s supplying the PA and is coming straight from a gig so don’t get too angry if she isn’t in the mood to play more.
Music:
This is the worst thing to organised for a diversed group of people, not EVERYONE is going to be happy ALL OF THE TIME so please be respectful and just enjoy the music as “background” music, i’m sure you’ll be too busy socialising, drinking and hitting pinatas! I’m gonna try and play a fairly broad mix, please do not attempt to change, request or bitch and moan about what is playing - if anything is going to ruin my night it will be this!
Other than that, I can’t wait to catch up with everyone, i’m gonna be stuffing pinatas the next couple of days for the big one
