Christmas Party Venues in Erina

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Whether the office wants a big stand-up night or a brewery afternoon, two venues on The Entrance Road cover it. Woodport Hotel offers three private function areas sized from 35 to 400, and Six String Brewing Co., the craft brewery at The Sawmill, has four spaces for teams of 12 to 100.

Comparing them for a staff end-of-year function:

A large workforce can fill Woodport Hotel's Garden Bar, 300 to 400 standing in the open air by the water with its own bar.
The Loft at Woodport takes 100 to 350 and closes into two with bifold doors, handy when the guest list is still moving.
Six String's Upstairs room over the brewhouse fits 80 seated for a team dinner or 100 standing, and booking the whole level brings its own bar.
A presentation screen can be added upstairs at Six String for the year's highlights or the awards.
Per head, Woodport Hotel quotes set packages from $45 per person once the booking reaches 30, and Six String Brewing Co. lists platters from $35 per person.

Most teams book late November and December weeknights for these, and both venues ask for details up front: Woodport works on a four-hour event, while Six String takes a 50% deposit and sets a minimum spend.

Woodport's function menu lists charcuterie, cheese and vegetable boards, finger food platters, skewers, sliders and tacos by the tray.
Six String's kitchen cooks Filipino-inspired dishes, and its top shared option, the Filipino feast, is from $45 per person.
Two-hour drinks packages at Six String cover the core beers, hard sodas, wine and soft drinks, or the company can run a bar tab.
Woodport's bistro and live music on Friday and Saturday nights keep the pub lively if the party carries on.

Which space for which kind of team

Mixed-seniority dinners suit Six String's seated Upstairs layout, where everyone sits down together.
A long, social Friday works better at Woodport's Basement Bar, with its industrial fit-out and full sound and lighting.
Small teams of 10 to 30 can share high tables in Six String's Main Bar area beside the brewing gear.
A guided tasting or a behind-the-scenes brewery tour gives a Six String party something to do beyond drinks.
