Milestone birthdays are a big deal. It’s not every day that you turn 18, 21, 30, 40, 50, 60… you get the drift. It’s something that needs to be commemorated and let’s face it, a party every 10 years or so isn’t too bad (we know how expensive it can get). So, why not go all out and celebrate your special milestones with a rocking party hosted at one of these awesome venues in the city. We have a great selection of rooftop spaces to blank canvases if you’re looking to implement a theme of your choice.
