Christmas Party Venues in Wyong & the Northern Lakes

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Office end-of-year nights up this end of the coast gather in Wyong, and the town gives a team real choice of mood: a tavern inside a restored dairy beside the Wyong River, a moody Middle Eastern restaurant and cocktail bar that can be taken over completely, and a family-run pub in a building from the late 1800s.

How the Wyong options stack up for a staff celebration:

Wyong Milk Factory Tavern, 141 Alison Rd – five function areas in the heritage milk factory, led by a covered beer garden with a stage, seating for 150 and space for 200 on their feet; pricing starts From $400 room hire.
The DO Room upstairs at the tavern – a mid-sized team gets its own bar, terrace and dance floor on the second level, reached by stairs or a lift, for 60 seated or 100 standing.
Motel Mezza, 98 Pacific Hwy – exclusive hire of the whole restaurant and bar, with shared banquets From $65 per person and halal-certified meat throughout.
Royal Hotel Wyong, 40-44 Pacific Hwy – the private Canoe Club is set with high tables and stools for 80 standing or laid out for 60 seated, and two-course menus are priced From $38 per person.
For a big seated crowd – the Royal's Dining Room takes up to 130, while the tavern's covered Dome Tent seats 100 and suits a band or DJ.

Decide on the kind of night first: banquets passed down long tables and custom cocktails at Motel Mezza, a two-course pub dinner at the Royal, or a stage and a dance floor at the Milk Factory.

Just a handful of colleagues – the Cow Bar at the tavern seats 20, and Lizzie's, a part of the Royal's bistro that is sectioned off, suits about 25 to 35 people eating together, though not speeches.
Teams who want to share one table – Motel Mezza serves a single banquet per table, so the whole group works through the same dips, small plates and grill dishes together.
Crews that came to dance – the DO Room and the beer garden at the Milk Factory each have a dance floor; the Dome Tent also opens onto the terrace and floor it shares with the garden.
Everyone in the company – the Royal Hotel Wyong's Dining Room is the largest seated option in town among these venues, at up to 130.

Keeping the December budget in check

Weekend loadings – Motel Mezza adds 10% to Saturday and Sunday bookings and 20% on public holidays, so a weeknight banquet stays at the base price.
Let staff pay their own way – the tavern lets guests buy meals and drinks themselves on the day, or the organiser can pre-order one of its catering packages.
Canoe Club spend – the Royal sets a minimum spend on Friday and Saturday with no hire fee, and a room hire may apply earlier in the week; ask for current figures when you enquire.
Grazing instead of courses – share platters at the Royal feed 8 to 10 people, from dips and cheese to hot savouries, plus pizza slabs for a looser crowd.
