A Pre-Wedding Party Idea Everyone Will Love (Yes, There’s Pizza Involved)
Fun, dough-filled nights for hens, mixed groups, or mates who just want a good time
Your friend’s getting married, and you’ve been handed the party-planning job.
You want something fun, something different... but you’re not keen on novelty straws or a nightclub you’ll all want to leave after half an hour. So what do you do?
Here’s an idea:
Chilled backyard vibes. A few bottles of prosecco. Music, great food and a handsome bloke showing you how to knead dough like a Neapolitan nonna 😉 This isn’t your average hen’s night. It’s a proper pre-wedding experience, and the best part? You get to eat what you make.
Not Your Average Hen’s Night: A Private Pizza Class with Seriously Good Vibes
If you’re after something a bit different for the hens, not another nightclub crawl or cookie-cutter dinner, this one’s for you.
Luke’s private pizza masterclass feels like the ultimate mix between a hands-on cooking class and a laid-back night in with your favourite people. It’s relaxed, a little cheeky, and completely memorable.
You’ll make proper pizza dough from scratch (the good stuff, just like in Naples), top it with your favourite ingredients, and fire it up to perfection. Think more “Italian long lunch energy” than “party bus chaos.”
Here’s why it works:
Feels natural and engaging — perfect for hen’s nights, bucks or mixed groups
Ideal for Airbnbs or weekend getaways — Luke brings everything along, all you need is an outdoor space, some music and your favourite people
Real cooking, real connection and pizzas you’ll actually crave again
You don’t lift a finger once we’re done — we clean, pack, and leave you to keep the night rolling
Works beautifully as an afternoon session before heading out to party on or settling in for the night
Whether you’re planning a fun girls’ trip, a weekend away with mates, or a pre-wedding celebration that’s more about good food and good times, this is one of those experiences everyone remembers — for all the right reasons.
What the Night Actually Looks Like
We keep it simple. We bring everything you need: ingredients, tools, the gas fired pizza oven and all the know-how. You just bring your group, your favourite drinks, and an appetite.
We start with making your own dough from scratch, learning how to mix, knead, and rest it properly. It’s hands-on, but not hard. No one gets left behind. And if the dough party gets a bit wild? That’s half the fun.
Then we roll, top, and fire those beauties in the Gozney oven. Crusts blister, cheese bubbles, and someone always claims theirs is “definitely the best”.
This Group Experience on the Gold Coast is Perfect For:
Hen’s parties (Gold Coast & surrounds)
Low-key mixed events where everyone’s invited
Fun girls’ night ideas that feel special but relaxed
Airbnb pre-wedding stays with a personal twist
Group get-togethers that want good food and better stories
This is not just a class, it’s a vibe. Music’s playing, people are chatting and stretching dough, and the energy’s easy and warm. It’s about connection, not perfection.
For the Bride Who Wants Less Fuss, More Fun
Not every bride wants the traditional hen’s night. Some just want a great night with their favourite people, good food, and something real. This ticks all the boxes, no pressure, no awkward moments, just shared joy (and maybe a flour fight).
Plus, you leave the night with an actual skill, pizza-making is a lifelong gift. Just saying.
Or Give It as a Gift
If you’re not quite ready to book or planning from afar, a Marino & The Dough gift card makes a brilliant surprise. We’ll even design a custom card with your message, cheeky, sweet or sentimental, your call.
🍷 So… Why Not This?
There are plenty of ways to celebrate a wedding, but the best ones are the ones that feel true to you.
If your group loves food, and something hands-on with heart, this might just be the perfect pre-wedding party idea. There’s pizza. There’s prosecco. And yeah, there’s a good chance you’ll never look at supermarket dough the same way again.
