Christmas Party Venues in Aspendale

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Work parties are one of the event types The Bridge Hotel Mordialloc plans for, and its three private rooms on the Nepean Highway can take a team of 30 or a whole staff of 250.

All food comes from the hotel kitchen and drinks can be packaged or run on a tab, so a December budget can be settled well before the night.

Rooms to weigh up for the end-of-year function:

Nepean Room: a small team of up to 50 seated or 70 standing, with a balcony and its own bar.
Nepean & Mordialloc Room: 100 at tables or 150 standing for a mid-sized business.
Private terrace: the combined room's windows fold out to it beside the water.
Starlight Room: for the whole company, seating 150 or taking 250 at a cocktail function.
Access: wheelchair access is part of the hotel's facilities, useful for a mixed team.

Canapé packages from $36 per person suit a mingling crowd, while plated menus of two or three courses work for a sit-down thank-you dinner.

A security charge is added for Friday and Saturday nights, so a weeknight in late November or December avoids it.
Room hire runs for five hours, which suits an after-work start.
Canapés with cocktail buffet dishes give a more substantial feed for a team arriving straight from the office.
A dance floor comes with the room for when formalities are over.

Drinks without the guesswork

A beverage package runs over four and a half hours at a set price per head.
A bar tab you set lets management cap the spend.
A cash bar works for a more informal break-up.
The Nepean Room has its own bar and the Starlight Room a long one.

Up to 250 at a cocktail party in the Starlight Room, which also seats 150.

Are there extra costs on Friday nights?

Yes – events on Friday and Saturday nights attract a security charge.

Can the team eat a proper meal rather than canapés?

Plated two- or three-course menus are offered, and canapés can also be paired with cocktail buffet dishes.
