Experience the magic of a Christmas party like no other. But how do you make sure your venue is fabulous enough to impress your guests?

Sydney is a vibrant city with countless party venues brimming with festive lights to fill your mind with joy. As one of the seasoned wedding planners in Sydney, I was fortunate to work with some of the best Christmas party planners in the city. To have a ball this Christmas, take a peek at their recommendations. 

If you’ve ever imagined a Christmas celebration on the waters, it's time to turn it into reality! Embark on a harbour cruise offering a spectacular Christmas party. Enjoy the crystal-clear views of the surroundings. Indulge in the delectable flavours of the 4-course menu and refreshing beverages. These unforgettable moments will make you long for more similar experiences. 

Looking for some out-of-the-box ideas for this year’s Christmas celebration? Then, 55 George Street is undoubtedly the perfect venue for you!  Host a grand party or an intimate gathering with tabled seating, high-top standing bar tables or a combination of both at the rooftop terrace of the Ridges Sydney Harbour.  Do you feel goosebumps just at the thought of hosting it at a venue with stunning rooftop views? 

Seeking a two-level spacious party destination with some mesmerising waterfront views? Then Cargo Bar, overlooking the magnificent Darling Harbour is one of the best to get the party started and get into the festive mood. The venue sets the perfect stage for you to host a corporate party, an engagement party, and much more. 

Longing to celebrate Christmas or any of your special occasions at a heritage venue? Then, this is one of the top spots I would recommend. Hosting your events here is a great way to revel in the jaw-dropping views of the Harbour Bridge, City Skyline and the Darling Harbour. With 18 event spaces having the capacity to accommodate up to 4,000 guests and customisable options, this venue is a great choice for a corporate Christmas party.

Coming with an experience of hosting a multitude of similar events and parties, this team can create wonders to make your special occasions remarkable.

Planning to host a Christmas party for a group of 10 to 350 pax? The Pyrmont Bridge Hotel can be the perfect venue for you. Recent renovations of the first and rooftop terrace were made, with a special focus on event requirements. The entire construction was done with a view to maintain the charm of the 145-year-old building while maintaining the plush interiors to wow the guests. 

Looking for a perfect venue with ample indoor and outdoor spaces, with packages to celebrate numerous occasions? The Greenwood Hotel will definitely be an option worth exploring. The best part of hosting a Christmas party here is the availability of 3 options for you to choose from. The interior spaces include the Chapel and Lounge Bar and the exterior counterparts of the Southern and Northern Courtyard.
