Finding The Perfect Location For Your Christmas Party

The Christmas party is an institution to Australian culture; it’s a way for everyone to let their hair down and celebrate a big year of successes, highs and lows. It can be hard to find the ideal venue for the Christmas party though – especially when they all tend to be booked out so early on. What you should be looking for when researching Christmas party venues in Sydney is a location that offers both a relaxing environment, and one that is decked out and decorated to evoke the spirit of the season.

There are many great Christmas party venues in Sydney which you can choose, and you can always check out the customer reviews to get a sense of the experience that others have had with them. But many places are also reviewed very positively by customers, so the question is – what criteria should I be using to find the perfect location for my Christmas party?

How to find the perfect Christmas party venues in Sydney

1.Think first about location

Whilst you might have some flexibility on some of the things you need for your Christmas party, the location is often a key point. Beyond the inconvenience, a party location that is too far away has a knock-on effect on what the overall event will cost you. For example if attendees require overnight accommodation, then this will greatly increase the cost.

There’s a balancing act here: central city locations can be expensive and popular due to demand and seasonal prices can be higher than the venue would normally charge, however out-of-town venues will almost certainly incur accommodation and travelling costs. To save on costs, it might be worth looking at office spaces, meeting rooms or local halls that can be decorated… or even public areas such as beaches or parks where catering can be arranged ahead of time.

2. Learn to search like a pro

The quickest and most convenient way to find potential venues is to master the online search engine, making sure that you research across both location and venue type. Alternatively, you could also engage the services of a venue search service that will take into account your specific party requirements and help to identify the best options to suit your needs.

Directly contacting local hotels, conference suites and town halls to arrange to tour their facilities is also useful for asking questions that might not be covered by the website. Other uncommon choices to research that others often don’t think about include country clubs, health spas, National Trust properties, restaurants, pubs, and clubs.

3. Be methodical in narrowing down the options

Rather than set your heart on a single venue from the outset, create a shortlist of three or four venues and research them all simultaneously. Don’t just rely on your own judgement, either; be sure to take a colleague or friend with you for a second opinion and get their perspective, too. Be sure to look at all angles the might result in some people having a less-than-perfect event; the venue may well hold one hundred people, but how big is the car park? For those that don’t drive, is public transport to the location convenient?

Finally, make sure you book well in advance! One of the most common in the last two months leading up to Christmas is the simplest; availability. It’s far better to book the desired venue well in advance… because that’s what just about every other business and group of people will be doing.
