Your Guide to Hiring Christmas Party Venues in Richmond
Christmas is a holiday that can be celebrated wherever you are, but when choosing where to host your party, why not go with an area that has beautiful streets, fun restaurants and, of course, shopping! The Bridge Road factory outlets provide some of the best shopping in Melbourne, so everyone attending the party has a place they can swing by for that last-minute gift they need for your party’s gift exchange. Richmond also plays host to a few restaurants that are decorated very festively during the Christmas season.
Richmond is an excellent location for hosting Christmas parties, largely because of its bountifully diverse venue options. How about a classy Christmas cocktail party at one of Richmond's up-scale bars, or even a “Christmas in July” party at one of Richmond’s popular many indoor/outdoor function spaces?
Which parts of Richmond are the most popular for Christmas Parties?
- Church Street – Church Street is a unique roadway as it begins and ends at the Yarra River on both sides (because of the way the river winds through the city.) On its southern end, you can find several quaint little restaurants and party rooms that are ideal for hosting a Christmas party or gathering. The options here vary from high-end, posh living rooms, to casual diner-like eateries.
- Route 20 – Route 20 is one of the major roadways that run through Richmond. Both along it, and in the surrounding areas there are numerous large halls and dining rooms available for rent that are ideal for any larger company Christmas parties. Many of the venues along Route 20 offer in-house catering, leaving you one less thing to worry about when planning your corporate holiday party.
