Christmas Party Venues in Alexandria

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

End-of-year planning in Alexandria usually starts with the headcount. A team that fits around one or two long tables is well served by Camelia Grove Hotel at 146 Henderson Rd, a heritage corner pub with an Italian kitchen, while a whole company that wants to spill outdoors can take the Beer Garden @ Iron Duke Hotel on Botany Road, where staff events are a regular booking.

Sizing up the December booking:

Leadership team or small crew: 16 seated at a single table next to the fireplace in Camelia Grove's curtained private dining room
A department dinner: up to 60 in the Camelia Grove dining room
Summer drinks outdoors: the Camelia Grove courtyard, about 70 standing or 40 seated
The whole office: 150 on their feet in the Iron Duke garden, or 100 at tables
Per-head starting points: from $60 per person for Camelia Grove's share-style set menu, from $34 per person for Iron Duke canapés with 30 the minimum

Send Camelia Grove the date, numbers and occasion and its events team puts a package together, emailing the event pack with pricing on request. At the Iron Duke, a group of 30 to 50 can have a section of the garden closed off, so a mid-sized team isn't lost in a space made for 150.

Wood-fired pizza packages at Camelia Grove come with classic or premium toppings
Camelia Grove's share menus bring burrata, arancini and wagyu ragù to the middle of the table
