Yes, it’s possible to hire a Christmas party venue without spending a fortune. Firstly, you can decide to hire a venue on a minimum spend basis, where you and your guests will spend an agreed upon amount on food and drinks. You can also hire a venue with a BYO policy, where you can bring your own alcohol, which usually comes out cheaper than buying it at the venue. Lastly, why not consider covering only the cost of each person attending with per person packages?
Since Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year for venues, start your venue search 3 to 4 months prior to your event. If you have a particular space in mind or are organising an event for a large number of people, it might be sensible to start your venue hunt even 6 months before your party. Securing your venue ahead of the event will give you plenty of time to compare venues to find the most suitable one and to discuss any details necessary for your Christmas event.
One fool-proof way to make your Christmas party more fun is by giving it a theme. An ugly Christmas t-shirt, Grinchmas, or Christmas Around the World are some of the most popular themes. Also, organising a gift exchange, such as a White Elephant or Secret Santa, will surely make your celebration more exciting! Games such as Christmas movie trivia or decorating the Christmas tree on time will leave your guests laughing their bellies off. Lastly, booking a fun venue can also help out your event. Look for spaces with interesting designs, an in-house DJ, or additional amenities such as board games, karaoke machines or a pool table.
Your Guide to Hiring Christmas Party Venues in Sydney CBD
The Central Business District is Sydney’s city centre and financial hub, packed full of corporate buildings and impressive landmarks. It’s not all work and no play, though! When the workday comes to an end, the city transforms into a relaxed playground of bars frequented by workers loosening up after a day in the office. In the evening, the area offers the perfect atmosphere to celebrate the special time of year with friends and colleagues, with the added benefit of being a stone’s throw away from the workplace. Even if your guests will need to travel to the CBD, the area is easily accessible via the city’s excellent network of buses, trains and cabs!
All sounds well, but how much does it cost to hire a Christmas party venue in Sydney CBD? Here are the three most common pricing models:
- The most popular method of pricing for Sydney CBD’s Christmas party venues is by minimum spend, meaning there’s no hire fee and you’ll just need to spend a certain amount on food and drinks. As this will take care of the cost of catering for the party, this could be a price effective way to go! Minimum spends for Christmas party venues in Sydney CBD start from just $500 and can go up to $10,000 - there is something for every budget!
- Many office Christmas party venues in Sydney CBD also offer per person packages, ranging from just $25 to around $80 per person. These packages tend to include a certain amount of food and drink, so you can tick catering off of your to-do list!
- Another pricing method is by hire fee, whereby you’ll pay just for the use of the space. You can expect to pay between $650 and $15,000 for a venue, with most on the lower end of the scale. It’s also worth considering that some of these venues allow you to bring your own food and drink!
