Christmas Party Venues in Windsor

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

End-of-year functions in Windsor split between a hotel on an 8-hectare garden estate and a purpose-built function centre on Dight Street. One leans on outdoor spaces and private dining, the other on big rooms with stages.

How Windsor handles a work Christmas party:

Garden drinks: Crowne Plaza Hawkesbury Valley has Windsor Lawn, Gazebo Courtyard, The Woods and a fire pit for relaxed afternoon events.
Team dinners: the Harvest One and Harvest Two rooms suit a department of 30 to 50.
Whole-company nights: Windsor Function Centre combines Macquarie and Phillip for 440 seated or 750 standing.
Presentations: twin projectors, screens and an AV control room are built into the Macquarie Room.
Catering cost: cocktail function food at the hotel runs from $59 per person.

The function centre has free parking in its precinct, and the hotel has rooms for staff who would rather stay the night.

A long lunch on the lawn suits a smaller office, with the fire pit carrying things into the evening.
A seated dinner with a thank-you speech fits the Governor Phillip Ballroom, which seats 150 under chandeliers.
A big dance-floor party suits the Macquarie Room, with its timber floor and a stage with a motorised catwalk.
Smaller teams can take the Bligh Room for 96, where a grand piano is the centrepiece.

Christmas menus and bars in Windsor

Hotel menus use Hawkesbury produce, from canapés and two-hour cocktail menus to plated dinners and buffets.
Drinks packages at the hotel run for three to five hours, and dietary needs cost nothing extra.
Each function centre room has its own bar, staffed by RSA-qualified bartenders.
The function centre tailors a package to each event, with special diets covered given a week's notice.
