How a Geelong Graduation Party Comes Together

A graduation party around Corio Bay usually brings families and friends together across generations, often straight after a ceremony. The choice tends to fall between a heritage reception room in Geelong West and a large suburban hotel in Waurn Ponds, on the southern side of the city.

Guest numbers and whether you want a seated meal or a relaxed standing party will settle it.

Compare the two settings:

  • Pakington Street, Geelong West: a heritage building with three rooms taking 100 to 300 guests, from $35 per person, suited to a formal dinner with speeches.
  • Waurn Ponds: a large hotel with two alfresco areas seating 50 each and a room for 300 standing, from $32 per person, suited to a relaxed afternoon.
  • Food: a set menu for a seated dinner, or platters and finger food for mingling.
  • Timing: an afternoon party suits older relatives, while an evening suits friends.

Add a photo booth or bring in caterers for a party at home, or compare birthday party venues for other rooms.
