Christmas Party Venues in Margate

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

An end-of-year team gathering on the Rooftop @ Sunny's Margate Beach swaps a function room for sea air and a wide outlook over Moreton Bay. It works for a small team in one shelter or a full staff party with the deck to itself.

Fitting a work Christmas party to the Margate rooftop:

Small teams of 10 to 25 can take the North Shelter, and 10 to 20 the South Shelter.
The Garden, a lawn-covered corner of the deck, takes 20 to 30 for a casual drinks session.
Section bookings start from $500 minimum spend and share the deck with other diners.
Whole-rooftop hire for up to 60 runs Monday to Thursday, with Saturdays open to 100.
Shared platters, each for 10 to 15 people, keep the food relaxed and easy to graze.

Because Friday and Sunday whole-rooftop bookings are unavailable, a midweek end-of-year party is the simpler date to land.

The deck closes to guests at 10pm, so an after-work start keeps the night unhurried.
Music is a playlist on speakers organised beforehand, as bands and DJs are not allowed.
Every rooftop booking hangs on the forecast, with an indoor fallback if conditions change.
Light decorations work, but anything loose needs securing against the bay breeze.

Budgeting the Christmas drinks

A drinks package keeps costs fixed per head for the company.
A bar tab lets the organiser set a limit and close it when the budget is reached.
Platters are ordered at the time of booking, and the kitchen can cover dietary needs.
A 15% deposit confirms the date once it is locked in.
