FAQs about Top Christmas Party Venues in Melbourne

Many venues in the city offer special Christmas menus for the season. So what’s the cost? Minimum spend for private Christmas parties in Melbourne usually starts at as little as £1500 for smaller celebrations and may range up to several thousand pounds, depending on what the venue has to offer and the size of your Christmas fête. If you’re keen on BYOB, working with an external caterer, or even organising the entire party yourself, the venue of your choice will be priced with a hire fee. This fee covers only the cost of using the venue. Typical hire fees for Christmas parties in Melbourne range between £350 and £500 per evening, while a full-day hire can reach up to £6000, depending on the location and venue size. Are you looking for a quick, convenient, and affordable Christmas party option? You can get it all with an all-inclusive Christmas party package. A typical package includes a special Christmas party menu, a choice of drinks, and venue hire costs. Prices usually range between £35 and £85 per person. (All data from Tagvenue.com)

Stretching from the famous Flinders Street Station all the way up to Queen Victoria Market (which gets a special festive look for the silly season!), Melbourne's CBD is the city’s favourite location for office Christmas parties. The Central Business District is an all-important corporate hub, but it knows how to have tremendous fun too! The iconic little laneways boast heaps of cosy pubs, fancy bars and restaurants offering special menus for the holiday season. Often described as the fastest-growing part of Melbourne, the Western Suburbs are anything but boring! So, what’s on offer? From function rooms for grand banquets to community halls of all kinds, the area is packed full of party venues. If you’re looking for a Christmas Soiree with a view, be sure to check out Werribee, a picturesque suburb in South West Melbourne. The Southside prides itself on picturesque beaches and hip neighbourhoods with the likes of St Kilda, South Yarra, Windsor and Prahran. If you’re on the lookout for quirky Christmas party that will leave your guests talking for months, the southern part of Melbourne is the place to go!

If you are looking for a unique experience, Christmas party cruises along Melbourne's stunning waterfront provide beautiful decorations and scenic views, perfect for getting into the festive spirit. Additionally, rooftop bars offer memorable settings for drinks receptions with breathtaking city views. Beachside venues are also popular for Christmas barbecues, combining festive celebrations with a relaxed outdoor atmosphere. For a more elegant affair, consider hosting an al fresco dinner and wine tasting at one of the city's many restaurants that offer outside spaces for hire during the Christmas season. These venues provide a charming setting for your guests to enjoy a festive feast in style.

For groups of less than 30 people, we recommend hiring a private dining room in one of Melbourne’s restaurants. Don’t forget that Melbourne is world-famous for its coffee culture – many coffee shops in town hire their pretty spaces for parties. If you’re after a boozy bash, then many bars in Melbourne offer special private areas that are perfect for small Christmas parties. If you wish to organise a budget-friendly christmas party, a small venue will be perfect for it.  We’re ready to help you to pick the perfect space – we promise it won’t take long!

Rebecca was absolutely amazing to deal with when organising our work Christmas Party - she went above and beyond to understand our needs and tailored a package to suit our budgets including providing suggestions and advice on how to best set up our event. The staff on duty on the night were exceptional - super friendly, professional, efficient and made sure all our guests were looked after and enjoyed themselves.

A belated review but we had our work Christmas Party at the Aviary (upstairs area) in November 2022 and it was fantastic. Sav was so flexible and easy to work with; the space was lovely; and it was so well-priced compared to other venues. Would definitely booked another function here in the future.

Amber was amazing from the get go with helping us plan an amazing office party at Zinc. Her support in connecting us with the right people went a long way and was so appreciated as we needed all the help we could get. The Operations team were fabulous with all our food and beverage needs. Everyone who attended the party had a blast and we were overwhelmed with the positive feedback on the quality of food, the space on the dancefloor, friendly staff. I would highly recommend Zinc to anyone looking to host a party. This venue is a one stop shop and their staff are friendly and helpful and it makes planning corporate events feel like a breeze.

I would recommend this as a venue for your small event in a heartbeat! Steff and Martin are very accommodating, attentive, and everyone at our party mentioned them as one of the favorite parts of the evening! The patio is very cute and the food is tremendous. I can't wait to go back for one of the special events they put on and everyone at the party was a huge fan. So glad I reached out about having our small work party here!

From Olivia at front of house to the wonderful staff in the restaurant we were made to feel welcome, they made sure everyone had plenty to eat, excellent quality and large servings of food and a really good selection of wines in our beverage package. Our 20 staff had a fantastic afternoon. Thanks so much everyone at The Aviary.
