Christmas Party Venues in Braeside

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Some end-of-year functions arrive fully dressed. At Events on Citrus, on Braeside's Citrus Street, the venue opens by appointment, gives each booking the whole place, and has staff handle the work from setup to pack down.

That leaves the office organiser to settle headcount, menu and drinks rather than chase hire chairs or a caterer.

Scoping the work celebration:

One department – the Coastal Suite seats 10 to 22 colleagues, or 35 for drinks.
The full staff – the Warehouse runs to 60 seated, or 75 for a cocktail function, across inside and garden areas.
Spend – hosted events start from $1,500 minimum spend.
Drinks – BYO alcohol is welcome, and drinks packages are offered for Warehouse events.
Dietary needs – vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and allergy needs are planned in advance.

Business events sit alongside milestone birthdays and showers on the venue's calendar. Arrange a visit before settling on a date in the busy weeks of late November and December.

Linen, candles, florals and curated tableware make up the styling, planned around a theme.
Each space has a private entrance and its own facilities, so colleagues aren't sharing with the public.
The owner-chef brings more than 25 years in food, design and hospitality.
With the venue to yourselves, speeches and thank-yous stay among the team.

Catering for juniors to directors

A seated thank-you works well over a shared dinner – two courses or three.
Grazing tables and finger food buffets keep a standing crowd mingling.
Wood-fired pizza or paella cooked live gives the party a focal point.
A signature high tea suits a daytime break-up for a smaller group.
