π Catieβs Roaring 30th! π
We had an absolute blast hosting Catieβs 30th birthday at Tuggeranong Homestead, complete with a 1920s twist and a murder mystery that had guests laughing, gasping, and celebrating all night long.
From themed outfits to vintage props, plus a buffet-style menu and drinks from the bar, this milestone was unforgettable. β¨ Best of all, Catie had the entire Homestead to herself.
Thatβs the beauty of celebrating here, a peaceful, private Canberra venue where you can host your party your way.
