When planning a party in Sydney we’ve collected a list of key things to consider for the perfect party. We’ve been there, done that, and are happy to help you create memorable parties.

First, pick the perfect party venue to hire

What’s the perfect venue for your party? Whether it’s a Hen’s Party or 40th Birthday, the location and venue hire will be key to a successful party. Sydney has you covered with every venue option you could imagine.

From local councils offering cheap community spaces, or top bars around Sydney’s districts like Barangaroo, Circular Quay and even Bondi Beach.

Project Party has you covered, we have a huge selection of venues ready for your next event in and around Sydney.

Second, have you considered the weather?

Sydney’s weather is famously mild year-round, Winter through Summer. But when things get stirred up you can see some extremes as well.

When it’s hot it’s sweltering, and when it rains it literally pours. It can change on a dime and ruin the best-laid plans.

To ensure your party doesn’t fall victim to the elements make sure you’re prepared. If it’s an outdoor event have you considered marquee cover in case of rain, or heaters and fire pits if a Winter chill arrives?

In Summer, make sure you’re ready for the heat to hang around with a properly ventilated venue.

Who’s ready to get down? What Entertainment and Music will your guest’s love?

At Project Party, you’ll find us on the dance floor at any event. The best parties involve music and entertainment that allows us all to let our hair down.

After all, isn’t that what a party is all about? But how can you be sure you nail the music or entertainment for your event?

Consider your audience, and your budget, and make sure you are in contact with your chosen party entertainer or musician well in advance. Give them a rundown of your audience, their tastes and make sure they are receptive to your feedback.

It’s your party, after all, so don’t be scared to set the playlist or schedule yourself. You know your friends better than anyone! Find entertainers and musicians on Project Party.

You’ve got a lot of mouths to feed, how can you leave everyone satisfied?

Knowing how much food to cater your party has given party planners nightmares since Adam and Eve held their first house party.

Too much and your food, and budget, go to waste.

Too little and you’ll have party-goers with too little energy to enjoy themselves.

There are food calculators online to help you nail your party catering. You can check out all the caterers on Party Project to help you make the perfect catering plan too.

Themes can make or break a party, how can you make sure yours is a hit?

There’s nothing like the perfect party theme to bring a party to the pinnacle. Picking the perfect party theme is not easy, and for every perfect theme, there’s a dud just around the corner.

A party theme isn’t all about your choice either, it’s all about execution. All the details have to be there to make it the perfect party. Project Party has taken the work out of planning the perfect theme.

Our Theme Builder helps you find suppliers with services that match your theme. Just pick your perfect theme and we’ll connect you with supplies in Sydney who can do it.
