Birthday Venues in Abu Dhabi
When home is too small or you simply fancy a change, we find a suitable venue on request and bring everything else: the styling, the cake, the entertainment and a run sheet that keeps the day on time.
Kinds of venue we can arrange
- Event hallFor 50 to 300 guests, with room for a stage, a dance floor and catering. Suits 50th and 60th birthdays and big family celebrations.
- Private dining roomEight to thirty guests around one table, well suited to a 30th or 40th dinner that ends with the cake.
- Terrace with a viewA semi-private outdoor space with skyline or sea views for adult evenings in the cooler months.
- Play venueIndoor play and activity centres with per-child packages; we add styling, cake and an entertainer.
- Blank party roomAn empty room we can transform from floor to ceiling, for big children's parties and milestones.
- Garden venueLawns and shaded corners, including desert-edge gardens beyond the city, lovely in the cooler months from October to April.
How venue costs are split
Each venue prices birthdays its own way: a room fee, a minimum spend on food, a per-person menu or a price per child with a minimum head count. The food always comes from the venue's kitchen and is quoted by the venue, so it sits outside our quote.
Our side covers the planning plus what the venue leaves out: styling, the cake, entertainers, photography, the timetable and someone running the day. If we reserve an outside venue for you, our planning fee from AED 750 is added. We share each shortlisted venue's terms with you in writing before anything is booked.

Venue questions
Do you work with fixed partner venues?
We arrange venues on request. For each brief we contact suitable halls, gardens and rooms for your date and pass their rates on to you.
Who do we pay for the venue?
You settle the room, food and drinks with the venue, based on its own quote. Our services and planning fee appear on a separate quote from us.
Can a play venue be decorated?
Most let us style a themed table and add balloons in the party room. A few offer extras of their own, so we check the rules before we design.
Is venue food part of your package?
No. The venue prices its own food, while our packages cover the styling, cake and entertainment.
