Christmas Party Venues in Kangaroo Point

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Both Kangaroo Point options put the end-of-year party right on the Brisbane River. Medley trades from the old Yungaba immigration depot grounds at the end of Wharf Street, and Riverlife Adventure Centre is based in the Naval Stores below the cliffs, with riverside function spaces and abseiling or kayaking on hand.

Sizing a Kangaroo Point Christmas party:

Up to 40 seated: Medley's Alfresco Dining Room looks over the river and gardens.
Up to 80 standing: the two river decks at Medley face the water.
Around 120: book Medley outright for 120 on their feet or 70 at tables.
Up to 300: Riverlife's Sunset Marquee holds 300 for cocktails or 180 seated.
Up to 800: the whole Riverlife site suits a company-wide cocktail function.

Medley's pricing guide starts from $60 per person, and Riverlife's from $85 per person.

Lunch is easy, as daytime trade runs from breakfast to mid-afternoon; evening events need 20 or more guests.
Menus range from canapés and walk-and-talk dishes to banquets, plated courses and a dessert spread.
Drinks run as two-hour packages at three price levels, or on a bar tab.
Music is kept low and the licence finishes at 10pm, so plan a lunch or an early evening rather than a late one.

Riverlife for a team that wants an activity too

Its event spaces are two marquees, Sunset and City Lights, plus a deck built out over the river and the heritage Cannon Room.
Teams can start with a guided abseil down the cliffs, rock climbing or a kayak on the river.
Twenty or more guests can follow the activity with a catered barbecue buffet beside the river.
Lawn games such as giant Jenga, plus archery, keep spectators occupied.
