Tips for Planning a Christmas Function Venue
Make the most of the festive season with these quick planning tips for choosing the right venue:
Match the venue to your party style: Think about your group size, budget, and the vibe you’re after. Look for venues that have hosted Christmas parties before, they’ll usually offer festive packages, custom menus and entertainment options. A central location with easy transport access is also a plus.
Book ahead to avoid missing out: It’s best to lock in your venue 3–6 months in advance, especially if you’re planning for late November or December. These spots book out quickly, so early planning means better options and less stress.
Keep planning simple with inclusive packages: You’ll need to organise the venue, catering, drinks, music or entertainment, and maybe some decorations. Make sure to consider dietary requirements and transport options. A good venue team will help guide you through it all. These can save you time, money, and a few headaches.
Personalise the space with your own theme: Most venues are happy for you to personalise the space, as long as it fits within their guidelines. Ask about what’s allowed and whether they offer styling support or preferred suppliers.
Think beyond just the venue: Don't forget to plan for catering, entertainment, transport, and any dietary needs. A good venue team will help guide you through the details to make your Christmas event a success.
