Turning 30 is a huge deal, right up there with getting engaged or buying your first car. And what better way to kick off your thirties than with a spectacular 30th birthday party? Melbourne is bursting with incredible venues that’ll help make your 30th even more memorable.
Whether you’ve decided to host a themed party for your closest friends and family or are planning a surprise 30th birthday bash for your best mate, you’ll need a fantastic venue to mark this special occasion. Luckily, there are heaps of excellent party venues in Melbourne for your special day! Now let's get to planning the best 30th birthday party.
If you’re expecting a good turnout at your event, choosing a minimum spend venue will help you get a fantastic deal on some of Melbourne’s top birthday venues. A minimum spend can be as low as 0 for a smaller space for a few dozen guests to upwards of 1,000 for the more exclusive high-end spots that can accommodate hundreds. The amount depends on the type and size of the venue, the amenities offered, the season or day of the week and the venue’s capacity.
Meal prices in Melbourne function spaces vary widely, depending on what area and type of establishment you’re in, whether you decide on a three-course meal at a mid-range restaurant or function venue in Melbourne's CBD. Of course, you can always go all out with a degustation menu complete with matching wines, which will come at a higher price point. Don't forget to ask if the venue has birthday party packages that may include a meal, as this could save you some money.

Once you’ve reached adulthood, few birthdays demand a grand celebration. Thirty is one of them! At 30, you’re young and independent, but you’ve also probably started to settle down and take on more responsibilities. Though it can be difficult for some to say goodbye to their carefree twenties, this is also the first milestone birthday where you can start to celebrate ageing and what you’ve accomplished in the previous decade — graduating, climbing up the career ladder, travelling or meeting the love of your life. 30 deserves a party!
