5 Things to Consider When Planning Your Christmas Party

The silly season can be a hectic time of year, especially if you a charged with arranging the company Christmas party!

Our event coordinators have put together a list of helpful tips to keep in mind when planning your end of year event.

Menu
• Be sure to confirm the dietary requirements of all guests (ie gluten free, vegetarian)
• Your event co-ordinator is a good resource when it comes to selecting your menu, as they have the experience in what dishes work best with large groups and what is best avoided.
For example; steak can only be served medium in a function setting, which may only please a limited number of guests, so a better option may be a braised red meat plus a chicken or fish dish.
You may also love freshly shucked natural oysters, and be drawn to the idea of serving them to your guests, however in reality few people actually eat them when served at functions.

Beverage Package
• Will you select a set beverage package or arrange a bar tab?

Music / Entertainment
• Will background music suffice or do you require a lively band or DJ?

Photography
• Don't forget the photographer!

Decorations / Theming
• Understated elegance or loud fun theming?
• What about table settings? - flowers, balloons, candles, fruit or something entirely different
• Chair covers add to the look and feel of the venue -  there are a large variety of colours and styles available

Hassle free corporate events
If you need a hand organising your Christmas party on the water, our friendly event team is here to assist with everything from menu selection & music to photography & theming, our event experts can recommend a range of quality suppliers.

A variety of dishes are ordered and placed in the centre of the group, allowing everyone to enjoy the selection.

Be the first to delight in our traditional Yum Cha lunch with a difference. The inaugural Sunday Yum Cha cruise sets sail on 6th January 2013. Why sit in a conventional restaurant when you can come aboard our floating restaurant and cruise the beautiful waterways of the Gold Coast.

Sample popular Asian delicacies including delicious dumplings, BBQ pork buns, prawn fried rice, salt & pepper calamari, honey glazed chicken, Seafood San Choy Bow and more.

• Duck Jokes

A duck walks into a bar and asks the bartender for corn. The bartender says “We have no corn, get out of here.” So the duck leaves.

The next day he comes back and asks for corn again, and the bartender says “I told you, we don’t have any corn! Get out!” So the duck leaves.

The next day he goes in again and asks for corn, and the bartender says, “For the last time, we don’t have corn! If you ever come back, I’m going to nail those webbed feet of yours to the floor!” So the duck leaves.

The next day the duck comes and asks, “Do you have any nails?” The bartender says, “No, of course not. Why would a bar have nails?” The duck then says, “Good. Then can I have some corn?”
