Are you planning a kid’s birthday party, 1st birthday party, or a themed corporate event? Look no further, Gathering Events have had the privilege of helping plan and bringing to life incredible themed parties.
We have catered for a myriad of events over the years, an incredible dinosaur party, an amazing minion party as well as a hungry caterpillar party, we do believe we are rather experienced when it comes to themed kids’ birthday parties.
We are specialists in food and drink catering when it comes to kids’ parties, whether they are 1st birthdays, indoor birthday parties, outdoor birthday parties, or girls’ or boy’s birthday parties.
We have seen everything from exciting Ninja-themed birthdays with physical games to beautiful rainbow-themed birthdays with inflatable jumping castles, face painting, fairy floss, and balloons. It's not our first rodeo and we are here to provide a guide for kids’ parties. It is also important to remember, parties are fun for the kids, but more so, you will have to make sure to make it fun for family and parents as well.
Jurassic Park birthday party - Oscar & Kenshin
Recently the Gathering Events team had the pleasure of being a part of a custom dinosaur Jurassic world-themed experience-themed combined kids’ birthday party. Join us as we embark on a voyage into Isla Nublar, where we created a custom-themed food and drink catering menu for children and adults.
It is no secret, children love themed birthday celebrations where they have the opportunity to dress up on the theme. Turning five and three years old, Oscar and Kenshin wished for a dinosaur-themed birthday. The dinosaur-themed party was hosted at a private property large enough to entertain the expected 60 children and parents. From real life sized, mechanical velociraptors and incredible balloon structures, to face painting, carnival kids’ ridereal-life-sized (including a giant slide of course), to delicious dino nuggets, nothing was missing that day.
Serving up dinosaur nuggets and fries, pre-packaged custom-branded fairy floss and popcorn as well as pouring coffee for adults and hot chocolates for the youngsters, everyone left the party well nourished.
The importance of fun for adults & kids alike
Fun is the essential part of every party, no matter what kind of party, how many people are attending or who the party is for. Kids’ parties are meant to enhance the experience of the kids in particular but often the adult attendants are overlooked.
How often have you and your coworker sadly discussed the fact you have three birthday parties this weekend, and you will have no time to yourself and your family? Hosting a birthday celebration, it is super important to cater not only for the kids but for the adults as well.
It is a party after all and everyone included should enjoy themself, right? Gathering Events has catered for hundreds of kids- and adult parties, we know and get to understand every client’s catering needs, and often provide customizable services and menus across the board.
Our fun pop-up bars or coffee carts are a beautiful and popular option for any party.
No matter if you want coffee or cocktails for the adults or loaded hot chocolates, and sodas for the young ninjas, we have endless beverage catering solutions that will keep guests of all ages hydrated, refreshed, and entertained.
Catering plays a huge role in making sure everyone is entertained and looked after.
With plenty of finger food like tapas, main courses like burgers and fries, or fun foods like popcorn and fairy floss on our menus you will have endless options to customize your guest's culinary experience.
Our menus are custom designed by our in-house chefs to be enjoyed by all, children, adult dietaries, vegetarians, vegans, and the rest.

7 Kids Party Food and Catering Ideas - the FUN way
When it comes to hosting an epic party, catering is one of the most important aspects. Guests will always remember three core things, food, drinks, and music. Your friends and family will remember the yummy rainbow tacos, that juicy hamburger, or the stunning grazing table from your event.
If it isn’t these three things, it may even be the awesome balloon artist! We take pride in our outstanding and sustainable food catering options. From Mexican to Japanese, Australian Fusion, or Indian, we design dishes that are delicious, locally sourced, and prepared in an authentic fashion, with a gourmet twist. Styling options for our carts include custom branding beautiful ceramics, flowers, and balloons (but obviously we are totally open to your child's ideas as well).
