Whether you’re celebrating the festive season with family and friends, or work colleagues and clients, you’ll need to get organised soon because Christmas is coming! If you’re looking for function venues in Perth, look no further than right here! Here at Varsity, we’re party pros, so if you’re in charge of the Christmas event this year, here’s a few things you’ll need to think about.
One of the first things to lock in for your Christmas party should be the date. Depending on the type of event and your guests’ availability, you can either host the party in early December to avoid scheduling conflicts or plan for a date closer to Christmas Day. It’s a good idea to set your date well in advance to make sure you don’t miss out on your ideal time slot! Additionally, the sooner you set a date and send the memo out, the sooner people can put it in their calendars and start getting excited.
Knowing what kind of budget you have to work with before you start booking anything is highly important – make sure to have a breakdown of the costs associated with the event i.e., venue, catering, entertainment, etc. Here at Varsity, we have a Christmas party solution that meets everyone’s needs and budget – just let us know your constraints and we’ll advise you on the best option.
If you’re thinking of hosting a themed Christmas party, make sure to let your attendees know ahead of time so they can plan their outfits. Stuck for ideas? Other than your classic Christmas colours (red, green, white), you can also go with an ugly sweater party or even winter wonderland. Why not make it easy to identify your group with a fun theme?
It ain’t a good party without good food and drinks! Make sure you’ve got enough refreshments going around to keep your guests happy – food and drinks are another thing to keep in mind when looking at venues, as catering can be an extra cost on top of your current budget. Celebrate the festive season with a feast at Varsity! We’ll keep the drinks flowing too with your favourite beers and our signature cocktails. Our function menus are customised for bite sized portions with platters, sliders and more available, along with dietary options and a bar tab on request.
Next step is deciding who’s invited to the party – are you planning on having a maximum number of attendees or will you tally up who’s interested before you look for a venue? The number of people you invite to the celebrations can impact where you can host. The good news is that Varsity provides function packages designed for a variety of event sizes, so just tell us how many people you’re bringing and we’ll find a space for your guests.
Finding the perfect venue is not always easy. However, when you do find the one, you should make sure to snatch it up quickly! The perfect Christmas party often comes down to location, atmosphere and comfort – if your venue is close to public transport, close to where your guests are coming from and fully equipped, you’ve probably got yourself a winner. Haven’t picked a place to celebrate yet? With 5 locations both north and south of the river and great vibes, Varsity is the perfect function venue in Perth for you and your guests. We do it all – with small or large function packages, our venues are perfect for all kinds of parties!
Are you planning on having any extra entertainment at your party? If so, be sure to arrange it sooner rather than later and keep the extra costs in mind. If you’re tight on budget, consider a venue that already has things happening for your guests to engage with. Level up your xmas party at Varsity, where we’ve got plenty of entertainment to keep your guests busy and having fun – from arcade games to a pool showdown to a sports game always playing on the big screen, our parties aren’t just standing around and talking.
Now that you know what you’re in for, you’d better get started! We know how to make this year’s Christmas Party the best one yet – break convention and host your end of year events at Varsity! Just let us know your requirements through our functions page and we’ll take it from there.
