Outdoor spaces like The Garden at Novotel Melbourne Preston, for those parents who believe that their children's laughter is best echoed under the clear Melbourne sky.
For your munchkin's first Melbourne bash, we recommend starting your venue hunt 1-2 months prior to the event. You can find a spot if you book at least 2 weeks in advance, but you are pushing your luck. Earlier is truly better in this case and you'll give yourself more time to plan the rest of your party to perfection. After all, early birds catch the best party spots and have the smoothest party planning experiences!
