One of the most popular locations for these events is the Central Business District (CBD). The CBD is home to some of Melbourne's tallest buildings and offers stunning views of the city skyline, but it's also a thriving business district. It's no wonder so many companies choose this location for their corporate events! Other sought-after parts of the city include Port Melbourne, Southbank, and South Yarra.

Book your corporate party venue as soon as you’ve agreed on a date. This should take place at least 2 months in advance as it will give you a chance to discover fantastic spaces with attractive hire fees. You’ll be able to pick a few options that you like, compare them and take some time to decide which offers the most at the given price range. This will also allow you to plan your party from start to finish and ensure that your team will have a whale of a time.

Having a limited budget does not equal a boring party! There are plenty of ways to organise an affordable and successful event. First of all, when looking for a place to throw your party in, choose a function room instead of hiring a whole venue as they charge much lower hire fees. Second, a guest list will help you ensure that the place you choose will accommodate everyone. Third, make sure that you stay within your budget. That’s why we recommend hiring a venue that offers a minimum spend option. Minimum spend pricing means that you only pay a certain amount of money for food and drinks, but don’t pay any hire fee for the space itself. Finally, you may consider a venue that offers per-person packages, as the price of such a package includes both a meal and beverages.
