Way Overdued: The 30th birthday edition

Being a hopeless romantic, i find a great need to make to celebrate the birth of the important being in my life in a very special way, given that my big man was turning 30, i figured it was one of those go big or go home situations, BUT of course to each it's own, i have absolutely no issues with making the celebration as low scale as possible and going with just something thoughtful but this time round i felt the need to gather his close ones around, being his beloved family and friends, the photos as follows
Just to give a good idea of how wide the site is and how it looks like!
Venue details: The Bunc @ Radius Upper Weld Road
Prior to the celebration, i had so much difficulty in searching for a venue, i mean i did refer to We are spaces for some ideas but none of it felt right for me, here's a link for those who might find it helpful instead http://blog.wearespaces.com/top-10-21st-birthday-party-venues-singapore (you're welcome) but then i came across Bunc Radius (http://www.bunchostel.com)for a 5 hour block option to rent out their movie deck and i didn't give second thoughts about grabbing it. I mean from the photos it looks like a pretty neat place to hold a party, i had absolutely no theme in mind, just a fun loving and cheerful venue and this definitely seems like it. Im fully aware the idea of holding a birthday celebration in a hostel might not exactly be the first thing that comes in mind, but that's exactly what i liked about it!
Another hostel I'm aware of that offers rental rates by the hour for special events would the Shophouse Social Hostel, yes the one directly above the ever popular Working Title Cafe.
Being very detail oriented i requested to have a site recce to fully be able to envision what i could do with the venue or if it was true to photo and most importantly if it would suit my liking. I highly recommend this to anyone who has qualms and doubts over a venue that they are holding their special event at because the last thing you would want is to be disappointed on the actual day itself.

I loved how the staff at Bunc were extremely accommodating to my request, upon my arrival they gave me a tour along with a printout which has a breakdown on what will be provided and what can be available upon request. Initially i wanted to book a bbq pit (YES!! ROOFTOP BBQ!!) but… i felt that 5 hours was too short of a timing and it might be a rush… but again, this depends on your own preferences.
With that being settled, next was the guest list, which wasn't really that hard because i've learnt who the people who held a special place in his heart were very well over a short period of time. And finally a theme! I wished i had more creativity, or at least the energy to conduct a super cool themed party e.g.: super hero, pirate, nerd alert, dream occupation, or something along those lines but no… i decided on a black and white party, keeping it real classy for the big 3-0
Decorating items weren't the most extravagant and elaborate but to name a few;
Black and white pompoms to hang around
Birthday banner with the mans face on it cos clearly he's the main focus!
20 black and pearly white balloons
Striped table cloth for the main table
Polka dot table cloth for smaller tables
So if you're looking for other options for celebration venues, this just might be it! Hope it might help those who've asked! :D
