Whether it's a milestone 30th, a fabulous 50th, or a surprise party for someone special, planning a big birthday bash is all about creating memories that last a lifetime. From choosing the perfect venue to nailing the vibe, there's a lot to think about, but don't worry, we've got you covered.
At Memories Made Marriott, we believe every celebration should feel effortless, exciting, and totally personal. Here's your go-to guide for planning a birthday party that's as unforgettable as the guest of honour.
Step 1: Choose the Right Venue
The venue sets the stage for your entire event, and that's where we shine. Our collection of hotels across the UK offers versatile event spaces that can be tailored to any birthday vision:
Elegant ballrooms for black-tie glamour
Chic lounges for cocktail-style soirées
Outdoor terraces for summer garden parties
Private dining rooms for intimate gatherings
Whether you're hosting 20 guests or 200, we have the perfect space to match your style and guest list.
Step 2: Set the Mood
Think about the kind of atmosphere you want to create. Is it a high-energy dance party? A classy dinner with speeches? A themed bash with costumes and props?
Our event teams can help you bring your vision to life with:
Custom lighting and décor
Themed menus and signature cocktails
DJ and entertainment options
Photo booths and memory walls
Step 3: Plan the Perfect Menu
Food is a major part of any celebration. Our chefs can craft a menu that suits your taste and budget, from elegant canapés to indulgent buffets or multi-course meals. And don't forget the cake! We can help you arrange a show-stopping centrepiece that tastes as good as it looks.
Step 4: Add Personal Touches
Make the event truly special with thoughtful details:
A memory slideshow or video tribute
Personalised party favours
A guestbook or message wall
A surprise element (like a special guest or performance!)
Step 5: Make It a Weekend to Remember
Why limit the fun to one night? Many of our venues offer on-site accommodation, spa treatments, and next-day brunch options, perfect for turning your party into a full weekend celebration.
