What's Actually Inside the $150 Celebrate Birthday Package
The package covers the celebration setup, kept separate from whatever your group orders to eat:
Birthday Cake
An 8-inch cake, freshly baked and included in the price — no bakery run required beforehand.
Balloon Setup
25 balloons fully arranged at your table before your group arrives.
Birthday Banner
A banner with curtains and festive table props, set up on arrival.
Dedicated Team
The event team manages the setup and timing so the host doesn't have to.
Set Menu Access
The package pairs with the Birthday Sparkle ($40pp) or Birthday Shine ($55pp) set menu.
Choosing Your Cake
Two cakes are available with the package, both 8 inches, 1.4kg, and sized to serve up to around 14 guests. You pick one when you book — no extra charge either way.
Ferrero Rocher
Vanilla Raspberry
What the Package Doesn't Cover
A few things worth knowing before you book: the $150 package is non-refundable, it's billed separately from your dine-in bill, and any date changes are at the restaurant's discretion — so it's worth locking in a date you're confident about.
How to Book and Pay
Booking runs through a short online form on the Celebrate Birthday page: your details and guest count, then your cake choice, then a summary screen to confirm and pay the $150 package securely. Set menus are chosen and paid for separately at the restaurant. We recommend booking at least one week ahead. You can also call (02) 8021 7696 or email bookings@thegrandpalace.com.au directly.
Conclusion
At $150, the Celebrate Birthday package earns its price by covering everything that usually takes separate planning — cake, balloons, banner and a team managing the timing — while your set menu is chosen and paid for separately at the table.
It's worth locking in a date you're confident about, since changes are at the restaurant's discretion and the package itself is non-refundable.
Booking at least one week ahead gives you the best shot at the date you want.
