Real Parties, Real People — May’s Standout Celebrations 💖

🎉 Annie’s 18th in Wakerley – A Backyard Bash That Beat the Headlines

Mum Peta kicked off May by throwing her daughter Annie a glam 18th at home in Wakerley 📍. It was Federal Election weekend, but Annie’s party was the real headline act. We delivered our silver shimmer wall ✨ for insta-worthy photo ops and set up the slushie machine 🍹 on the patio serving up strawberry daiquiri + blue raspberry. With a chilled-out crowd and a happy mum, it was a smooth, unforgettable night all around.

💖 Darcy’s 21st in Wynnum – A Celebration Full of Heart

Mum Sheridan planned a meaningful 21st for her son Darcy at their local rugby club in Wynnum 📍. We created a striking setup with a circle backdrop, reflex blue, silver, and white balloon garland 🎈, and a glowing Twenty One neon sign 💡. The biggest win? Darcy’s brother was released from hospital just in time to celebrate. A beautiful night full of heart, sparkle, and family love.

🪩 Daune’s 60th in South McLean – A Queen’s Night to Remember

This one will go down in SweetAz history. Our new trailer and photo booth 📸 made their maiden voyage to Daune’s stunning property in South McLean 📍—and wow, what a setup. Porta loos, caterers, refrigerated trailers, teepee huts, and a DJ marquee where DJ Pete kept the beats going all night. We encouraged guests to snap sweet memories at the booth and watched Daune party like a total queen. Epic energy all round.

🤠 Horse Trekking in Comminya – Saddles, Steaks & SweetAz Shenanigans

Time to saddle up! We took a break from the sparkle and joined the crew at Nash Horse Trekking in Comminya 📍 for a half-day ride to the pub (yes, really). There was a little butt nibbling from our cheeky steeds, a lot of laughs, and the pub steak hit the spot. Amazing staff, scenery, and new friends made this ride one to remember. We’ll be back — cowboy hats and all

🏖️ 💡 Beach Energy Convention in Brisbane – Glow Cubes That Lit Up BCEC

NSW-based Expo Centric called on SweetAz Co. to help brighten up a booth for the Beach Energy Convention at Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre 📍. We delivered our glow cubes 🔧 to bring that fun, beachy vibe to life. Clean, cool, and classy — a subtle but striking addition that lit the space up perfectly.

🎂 Jamilla’s 25th in Cleveland – A Milestone Made to Shine

No 21st? No worries! Jamilla made her 25th the milestone and threw an unforgettable party at Cleveland Tavern 📍. We created a dramatic backdrop using our black shimmer wall ✨, purple and white balloon garland 🎈, and Happy Birthday neon sign 💡. Her helium 25 balloon wasn’t cooperating — but we tamed it and made it shine. P.S. Loved your party hat, Jamilla!

🎸 Mark’s 50th in Thornlands – A Surprise That Rocked

Wife Michelle pulled off an epic surprise music-themed 50th for husband Mark in Thornlands 📍. We delivered the slushie machine 🍹 and tables and chairs 🔧 just as the cake lady rolled in with a stunning guitar cake inspired by Mark’s fave guitar. Guests came dressed to impress — think Cyndi Lauper, Amy Winehouse, and Ozzy Osbourne! Themed and thriving, this party hit a high note.

✨ Maleesha’s 40th in Ormeau – Iridescent Energy at Shearers

Maleesha told us she wanted epic, not ordinary, for her 40th — and we delivered. Held at the Ormeau Shearers Club on the Gold Coast 📍, we rolled in with the iridescent shimmer wall ✨ and Let’s Party neon sign 💡, creating the ultimate photo zone. Her friends showed up in force and brought the energy. Truly next level, just like Maleesha.

💃 Sass & Soul’s Burlesque Show at HOTA – Red Carpet Glam

For their annual amateur burlesque show at HOTA on the Gold Coast 📍, the Sass & Soul team went all out — and so did we. We upsized to a commercial-grade silver shimmer wall ✨ and gave their photo zone VIP red carpet vibes. Classy, cheeky, and glammed to the max. The HOTA crowd loved it 💖

🎈 Violet’s 40th in Redland Bay – Wind, Wow & Family Surprises

Violet’s 40th was nearly a washout when strong winds threatened to shut down her outdoor marquee event at Redland Bay Hotel 📍. But with some quick thinking by the venue and a little SweetAz magic, the party moved to the covered deck — and we made it happen! We set up the circle backdrop with rose gold, rosewood, and black balloon garland 🎈 plus the glowing Forty neon sign 💡. Violet kept the surprise alive, with family from NZ arriving to celebrate. You did it, girl!
