First and foremost, consider venues that offer Christmas party packages. These packages often include venue hire, catering, and entertainment, and can be a great way to save money. For another pricing option, look for venues that operate on minimum spend. These venues will require you to spend a set amount on food and drinks during your event but won't charge for the venue hire. If possible, consider hiring a private room or function space instead of a whole venue, as this can be a great and cost-effective option for more intimate parties. Also, don't forget to check if the venue allows BYOB (bring your own bottle), which can be a cost-effective option, especially if you're planning on serving alcohol at your party.
