Christmas Party Venues in Surfers Paradise

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

A work Christmas in Surfers Paradise turns on headcount and the level of formality you want. A team of 20 at a pub table and a company of 300 at a banquet need different rooms, and these four venues cover that spread.

Four end-of-year settings, sized for the team:

Crowne Plaza Surfers Paradise has the Grand Ballroom at 320 for a banquet, and the Phoenix Room for 90 when the team is mid-sized.
The Glasshouse at The Island Gold Coast, with its LED screen, seats 350, and the top-floor Penthouse seats 144.
The Cavill Hotel suits a pub-style party, with four areas and a fully private Bistro for 120 standing or 40 seated.
Steampunk Surfers Paradise fits a relaxed end-of-year catch-up, in one private area or across the whole venue, free of hire fees.
Crowne Plaza Surfers Paradise can run a poolside party for 250 standing, while 120 suits the Pool Deck at The Island Gold Coast.

Two or three set courses reach the table as an alternating drop at The Cavill Hotel, from $61 per person, for groups of 20 upward.
Canapé packages at The Island Gold Coast are from $44 per person for 30 or more, and plated or share-style menus are other routes.
Crowne Plaza Surfers Paradise can build menus around dietary needs, so send the team's list with your enquiry.
Steampunk Surfers Paradise can serve canapés, finger food, platters or a seated meal, so ask which suits your budget.

Running the team's night: screens, stays and bands

Crowne Plaza Surfers Paradise has a G:link tram stop alongside and parking of its own, handy for staff leaving straight from work.
Speeches work at The Cavill Hotel, with a microphone, USB-ready TVs and a projector screen on hand.
Rooms for guests are on hand at Crowne Plaza Surfers Paradise and at The Island Gold Coast, so a late finish need not mean a trip home.
Plan speeches before 8pm on a Friday or Saturday at Steampunk Surfers Paradise, when the live bands start.
