Christmas Party Venues in Maroubra

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

For an eastern suburbs team tired of CBD function rooms, a Christmas party facing the surf is a real change of scene, and barmilano Maroubra Beach offers it on Marine Parade. The Northern Italian restaurant sits about 11 kilometres south of the city, with five event spaces that can be booked separately or as a set.

Work out the headcount first, then find the part of the restaurant that fits:

Small team lunch: 30 seated on the Front Promenade, across the road from the sand.
Department dinner: the Dining Room seats 70, or holds 100 standing.
Alfresco end-of-year drinks: the Sun Deck, joined to the Garden Terrace, takes 140.
Whole-company event: take over the restaurant, 180 at tables or 250 standing.
Budget anchor: from $55 per person for a Mortirolo grazing table, recommended once numbers reach 60.

Mixed-seniority groups tend to settle well over seated share menus, because passing plates gets graduates and directors talking. Weeknights in late November and early December are worth raising if Friday dates are already gone.

Seated share menus range between the Classico and the Valtellinese.
Roaming canapés come in three package levels.
Drinks can be packaged by the hour, up to five, or the company can run a bar tab instead.
Include the per-person deposit and the 10% group service charge in the finance request.
