Their First Real Nightclub Night — Done Right

Sweet 16s are about a feeling — the lights, the music, the moment a teen gets to feel like the night is theirs. Time Out On Pine gives that feeling without alcohol, without strangers, and with parents fully looped in.

Every Sweet 16 is a full venue buyout, so the room is yours and only your invited guests are inside. A DJ runs the dancefloor, lighting transforms the space, and a mocktail bar keeps everyone refreshed. Themed décor, photo backdrops, and slideshows are all on the table.

Fun For Teens. Structured For Parents.

A Sweet 16 here looks different to a teen than it does to a parent — and that's the point.

For Teens

A real DJ on a real sound system, dancefloor lighting, a mocktail bar with custom drinks, photo walls and backdrops, and the run of the venue with their friends — without parents hovering on the dancefloor.

For Parents

Full venue buyout (no public crowd mixed in), alcohol-free for every guest, a hard 10PM end time, wristbands and ID checks at the door, on-site security throughout the event, and a dedicated parent and chaperone lounge.

Sweet 16 Policies — At a Glance

Private Buyout Only

Sweet 16 events are always full venue buyouts. Public programming does not run alongside a teen event — only your invited guests are inside.

Capacity

Up to 150 guests total, with the most comfortable Sweet 16 size landing between 60 and 120. We'll right-size the layout, the dancefloor, and seating to your final headcount.

Chaperone Ratio

We ask hosts to plan for at least one adult chaperone for every 10 teen guests, and to provide chaperone names and contact details at booking. Chaperones are on premises throughout the event and have a dedicated lounge area.

Alcohol-Free, Always

No alcohol is served on the event floor at any Sweet 16 — for any guest, including adults, during the teen event window.

Hard End at 10PM

Every Sweet 16 wraps by 10PM. The venue transitions to 21+ programming after that, with full reset between events.

Age-Identifying Wristbands & ID Checks

Controlled entry with age-identifying wristbands and ID checks. Only guests on the host's list are admitted.

On-Site Security Included

Trained security staff are included for every teen full-buyout and are on premises throughout the entire event.
