A Newcastle Corporate Event, Step by Step

A Newcastle work event usually comes down to three questions: how formal, how many, and how much of the day happens in one place. For a conference dinner or end-of-year presentation night, the big rooms carry it. The Del Hotel's Level 1 takes up to 500 cocktail guests on Darby Street, Bartholomew's spreads up to 450 across a heritage King Street building, and Merewether Surfhouse seats 250 above the beach with built-in AV in each room. A boardroom-style lunch fits The Flotilla's private room Vecina for 24, or the Blackbutt Hotel's 40-guest lounge.

Budgets range widely. Great Northern Hotel Newcastle offers daytime corporate packages from $25 per person in its Art Deco lounge, Toronto Workers Club includes room hire in its two-course menu from $60 per person, and Ravella's exclusive-use spaces on Watt Street start from a $3,500 minimum spend.

Many of the suppliers here travel to the venue or your workplace. Equip Multimedia crews sound, lighting, LED screens and staging for galas and conferences across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, and Fennel & Co. Catering runs a corporate arm, Cranky Chef, for boardroom lunches, launches and staff celebrations.

Where each part of the program can come from:

  • Production: Equip Multimedia, with LED walls up to 12 metres and moving-head lights
  • Team activity: Pinnacle Team Events from $50 per person, Premier Team Building's harbour foreshore scavenger hunt, or coached lanes at MANIAX Axe Throwing Newcastle from $47 per person
  • Food at an offsite: Billy Goat Catering's charcoal BBQ from $56 per person, or The Wilderness Chef's mobile kitchen
  • After-dinner music: Colour Theory, Jackson Broadway or the funk and soul five-piece Hamilton Alley, all bringing their own PA and lights
  • Transfers: H2 Hunter Hummers runs corporate transfers in a 15-seat stretch Hummer
