Christmas Party Venues in Norah Head

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

A Norah Head Christmas party at the Lighthouse Room at Dunes by Dish puts the team above Soldiers Beach for the afternoon or evening. The company gets exclusive use of the room, its balcony and a private bar.

Why work groups book the beach room for December:

Corporate dinners and Christmas parties are part of the venue's regular events, and a coordinator runs the day.
A projector and microphone are on hand for the boss's end-of-year speech.
Seating for 100 at rounds suits a sit-down dinner with table service.
Rolling tapas or a cocktail menu keeps a standing crowd of up to 144 mixing.
Budgets start from $2,000 minimum spend, with the exact figure depending on the day.

Five-hour sessions mean a lunch can wrap up mid-afternoon, leaving staff the rest of the day at the beach.

Choose the daytime session for a long lunch in daylight.
Plated table service keeps a formal meal on time between speeches.
Family-style share platters make the lunch more relaxed and social.
Grazing tables can be added on top of the main menu for arrival.

Bar arrangements for a Norah Head team party

A bar tab with a ceiling lets the company cover drinks up to an agreed amount.
A beverage package suits a team where most people will be drinking through the session.
A cash bar works if the company is paying for food only.
Outside food and drink aren't allowed in the room, so everything comes through the venue.
