50th Birthday Party

So you’re throwing a 50th birthday party in Perth, Western Australia? This is the big one, the no-holds-barred celebration of your adult life, so it’s vitally important for the party planner to GET IT RIGHT. As any delighted party guest will tell you, there are four simple yet important factors that absolutely must be included, if this occasion is to be an enjoyable and memorable event for the guests and host alike.

First: An important 50th birthday party must be unforgettable. This doesn’t have to mean extravagant or expensive, it simply means making sure the party isn’t something the guests and the birthday person do on a regular basis. There is not much worse than attending a dull, forgettable party and it’s the organiser’s job to make sure this HUGE milestone is celebrated in true style.

Making the celebration memorable is an extremely important factor in throwing a great 50th birthday party. Which leads to the next vital 50th birthday party ingredient…

Second: the 50th birthday party venue. You should avoid the ‘regular’ celebration venues if you want an unforgettable party. How many times have you celebrated at restaurants, bars, friends houses, even around your own dining table? I’d guess so many times that you couldn’t even say if your life depended upon it. Which rules out all of these venues – remember the point here is to delight the guest of honor with a celebration they’ll remember for the rest of their lives. It’s one of the best presents you can give – great memories!

The number one venue suggestion to hold an amazing birthday party is a charter boat. Many people automatically dismiss this option, thinking it too expensive or difficult, when in reality the exact opposite is true. Perhaps it’s time to step out of your comfort zone and try something new, exciting, stylish, VERY well priced, plus an organisers dream (it’s all done for you), the charter boat really should be your venue of choice.

We’re lucky to live in beautiful Western Australia, where the climate and geography make charter boats an extremely popular choice for celebrating special occasions. They’re extremely well-priced (often cheaper than a restaurant) and there are trips and cruises to suit all budgets, desires, and requirements.

Perth’s most popular charter boat is the Nordon, rated highly because of its stylish, characteristic look and feel. The Nordon has sailed Perth waters as a charter boat for more than 20 years, and locals will recognise her signature stunning red hull.

In 2007 the Nordon enjoyed a half-million dollar complete refit, with modern comfort and style being the result. She truly stands out of the crowd of converted cray-boats and aluminum ‘luxury’ boats, as the Nordon is a true piece of Perth history. The Nordon is highly recommended as an amazing, memorable venue for any birthday celebration.

Third: food and drink make the 50th birthday party. Whether you want a sumptuous fine-dining experience, tempting snacks and champagne, fresh seafood with great wine and beer, or even a good ol’ fashioned BBQ, the Nordon offers it all. Should you wish it they provide first-class on-board Perth caterers Ultimo, the best on-board service, and even have a fully equipped galley (kitchen) and refrigerators should you wish to BYO food and drinks.

Just imagine celebrating in this most stylish of venues, sipping chilled champagne with great friends as you watch the stunning sunset from the comfort of the Nordon deck. You might cruise up the beautiful Swan River, admiring the landscape as you’re served mouth watering delicacies by Ultimo’s smiling staff. What better way to celebrate a 50th birthday than a toast under the stars, as you and your delighted friends and family enjoy 360° views of Perth’s unrivalled river and city scenery.

Yet another option is to enjoy the cruise, and have the Nordon’s skipper moor outside one of the range of highly-rated river-side restaurants and bars, where celebrations can continue. Just a few of these restaurants include Coco’s, Zaffaranos, Little Creatures, Cicerellos, the Red Herring with ‘Shucks’ oyster bar, and more. If you’re looking for something a little different, many party organisers enjoy the ‘progressive dinner’, which involves each part of the meal (entrée, main, and dessert) being enjoyed at a different restaurant. The best way to enjoy what Perth has to offer – the possibilities aboard the Nordon are endless!

Fourth: have pity on the 50th birthday party organiser. Make sure you don’t overload on the organization, after all the point of a party is to relax and enjoy the company of family and friends. You DON’T want to spend the entire night looking after food, drink, transport, cleanup, bills, … let someone else take care of it without paying the earth for it.

Why worry about the details when all you need to do is book your cruise aboard the Nordon, choose from the range of wining and dining possibilities (BYO or catered), set your budget and make your desires for the party known…then leave the worrying details for the professionals. They’ll book the restaurants, supply the food and drinks, serve guests in style, play the music you choose, they’ll even take photos of the whole on-board party for you! All of this excellent service is included in the great price for your full day, half day, or evening cruise.

In fact, the proud owner of the Nordon, Peter Milner, is so certain that you and your guests will have an enjoyable, unforgettable 50th birthday party aboard his beautiful boat, that he personally guarantees it –

“You’ll have a fantastic trip, and enjoy unrivalled service aboard the Nordon, or you’ll get your money back.”

Make sure you throw a party that the guest of honor will remember for the rest of their lives – for all the right reasons! Choose the venue that’s 100% risk free, with the best options for truly celebrating in style that Perth has to offer.
