Ask The Mums: Party venue and planners – Mumbai « Mummy Knows Best - The hands-on mum's guide to cool kids' stuff

Hi,
Wondering if any of you mums out there can suggest a nice venue for a 3 year old boy’s birthday party in Andheri West/Lokhandwala Complex/Versova in Mumbai ? (Either a hall attached to a nice restaurant OR a standalone hall). I do have a caterer in mind but I’m looking for recommendations for a good party planner from the same areas or from Juhu/Bandra. Someone who can do the decorations and think of some fun games to keep the kids occupied. I don’t have much time left so would appreciate any help! Thanks – Nina.

Hi Nina,

While I have not personally used a venue for a kiddy party in the areas you have mentioned; I have heard of a few that are popular. Based on the number of people you are expecting, you could check out:
Wild Dining, Oshiwara (the jungle theme may be fun for 3 year olds)
Banana Leaf, near Four Bungalows market, Versova
Time & Again, behind Infinity Mall
Kailash Parbat, New Link Road
Classique Club, Raheja
The Club, D.N. Nagar

Most party planners do not coordinate the venue. They may suggest options but you will have to tie that down yourself. Ideally fix your space and then give them a call and get them to do the rest.

As for party planners, you could try:
Fun Faktory. Call Crystal 9892955073 and check out their website: http://www.funfaktory.net
With Crystal you can be assured personalized attention throughout and they work the theme into all aspects of the party. They also offer a range of party games and activities that are semi educational. If you don’t want competitive games, tell them and they will come up with suitable, fun activities.
Play Time. Call Jatin 022 26706363 / 26706464 / 9821096751. Website:  http://www.playtimeindia.com/contact.html
A friend has been to a kiddy party organized by Play Time and was wowed by the professionalism in every aspect – the compere, décor (WWF theme) and activities. The children had a blast and parents were happy too.

Hope you have a wonderful party.
Priya.

    Thanks Priya for all that info. I had actually already checked out most of the venues you mentioned (except Wild Dining) but didn’t opt for any of them since I was keen to use my own caterer. Someone else had also given me Playtime Jatin’s number so I had spoken to him as well. Anyway I’m now planning to keep it pretty small and am trying to work out something at a kids’ activity centre close to home. That way, I can use my own caterer plus ensure fun activities for the kids:) Thanks again, you’ve been really helpful. I’m sure I’ll use either Fun Faktory or Playtime the next time around !

    Hi Nina. You are most welcome. Do share your experiences with using an activity center. Am sure there are many parents who would also like to use their own caterer and will be happy for the information. Have fun at the party.

      this is a year late and i apologise for the delay in replying:). last year for my sons 3rd birthday party i finally chose Toddlers
      Activity Center (TAC) in Lokhandwala Andheri. They provided some basic decor, kids chairs and tables, and their staff
      organised games and activities. they also had their tumble
      tots equipment which the kids enjoyed. sort of like a kiddy gym.

      i had my own caterer and i also looked after the return gifts
      myself. it was their first party at the lokhandwala center
      and i was pretty happy with the organisation except that they
      were expensive.

      this year im once again on the look out for a nice venue in the area
      and thats what brought me to this site again:) any suggestions
      are welcome :) thanks.

    Hi,
    There is an activity centre at the end of Hill Road called Windchimes. Clean, safe, big and open for the kids to run around.
    Had my son’s birthday party last year, the kids had a ball.
