Christmas Party Venues in Cleveland

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Two Cleveland venues take work Christmas parties with Moreton Bay as the backdrop. One is a purpose-built marquee at a North Street pub that has traded since 1851, and the other is a seafood restaurant at the tip of Cleveland Point.

Comparing the two Cleveland Christmas party venues:

Stradbroke Marquee @ Grand View Hotel is a daylight-filled marquee for up to 150, with its own bar and built-in AV for speeches.
Its packages start from $36 per person for canapés, with banquets and buffets for teams of 30 or more.
The Lighthouse Restaurant runs functions over five hours, with a hire fee plus a minimum spend that depends on the space.
Its semi-private Deck starts from a $3,500 minimum spend, while Waters Edge suits large teams, up to 200 standing.
Both look across the bay, so a late-afternoon start makes the most of the light.

The marquee suits a team that wants a private, self-contained room, while the restaurant suits a group that wants to sit right on the water.

Food packages need a minimum of 30 guests.
Options cover grazing and seafood stations, a rotisserie buffet and shared banquets of two or three courses.
Drinks packages come in house, premium and prestige tiers for two to four hours.
Smaller teams can book half the marquee, with up to 45 seated on either side.

The Café and Bar Balcony suit smaller cocktail-style end-of-year drinks with their own bar service.

Hosts pick wines, beers and spirits from the house list, with soft drinks included.
