Private Parties

Birthday party for adults and kids in Jounieh, in one place

By Jinane & Sophanie, founders of Luciole··5 min read

At Luciole in Jounieh Souks, adults can book the whole bistro privately for up to 40 guests, and we plan the DJ, the music, the buffet and the drinks. If you bring the kids, you can also book the Luciole kids' atelier on the same floor, so children aged 3 to 12 have their own separate space while the grown ups celebrate.

Can adults and kids celebrate the same birthday without sharing one room?

Yes, and that is the whole idea. Most family birthdays end up one of two ways: a kids' party where the adults stand around holding a juice, or an adult dinner where the children are bored before the main course arrives. At Luciole, both can happen side by side. The adults book the entire bistro on the first floor of the Chiha Building in Jounieh Souks, and if children are coming, you can also book the Luciole kids' atelier, which sits on the same floor but is a separate space made for ages 3 to 12.

The grown ups get a real party with music and a buffet, and the kids get a room that is theirs.

What does Luciole plan for the adults?

When you book the bistro privately, it is yours, for up to 40 people. We plan it all for you: the DJ, the music, the buffet food and the drinks. You tell us the date, how many guests you expect and the kind of atmosphere you want, and we build the evening around that.

The bistro looks out over Jounieh Souks and the roundabout, which gives the room a lively, local feel once the souks light up. For a birthday that mixes cousins, old friends and colleagues, it feels like a proper night out, close to home for anyone living in Keserwan.

Where are the kids during the party?

If you book the atelier too, the children are in their own space, separate from the bistro but on the same first floor. Parents can enjoy the music and the conversation knowing the kids are close by. Children aged 3 to 12 can join. If the birthday you are planning is actually for one of the kids, our kids' birthday parties are a separate format with their own packages.

Guests can also come without their kids: the same booking suits a friends only evening.

How does the evening flow for both groups?

Every family is different, but a typical evening looks something like this:

  1. Arrival. Guests come up to the first floor. Families with children settle the kids in the atelier first, then join the bistro.
  2. Buffet and drinks. The adults ease in with the buffet and drinks while the DJ sets the mood you asked for.
  3. The birthday moment. When it is time for the cake, you can bring the kids over so the whole family is together for the song and the photos.
  4. Back to their spaces. The children return to the atelier and the adults get back to the music.
  5. Going home. At the end, parents collect their children from the atelier, a few steps away on the same floor.

Why choose a party venue with a kids' area in Keserwan?

Because it solves the real question behind most family birthdays: who watches the children? With a separate kids' area, nobody spends the night taking turns at the door. Luciole is in the heart of Jounieh Souks, with nearby parking with valet, which keeps arrivals simple for guests coming from across Keserwan. Directions are on our visit page.

How do I get a quote?

There is no fixed price list for private adult parties, because each one is planned around your guest count and the vibe you want. Send us a message on WhatsApp at +961 81 540 282 with three things: your date, your guest count and the atmosphere you have in mind. Mention if children are coming, so we can include the atelier in your plan. Planning a big number like a 40th? See our milestone birthday ideas.
