THE BUTTON FACTORY, CREATIVE MELBOURNE CHRISTMAS PARTY VENUE

When it comes to Christmas party venues in Melbourne, we’d be remiss not to mention The Button Factory, Bayside’s hottest corporate event space.

Located in Cheltenham, The Button Factory is a quirky and charming venue with three unique function spaces, that are full of soul, making it an ideal staff Christmas party venue hire in Melbourne.

The lower level of The Button Factory boasts two adjoining spaces, The Garden and The Gallery. If you’re looking to host a more intimate work Christmas party, this may be the spot for you. With natural sunlight streaming in through a skylight, plus lush greenery covering the walls, a woodfire pizza oven, and a bar offering plenty of tipple, The Garden room can host your guests in cocktail bar style fashion, or as a small dining experience for your team to celebrate another successful year.

Or, for an even more exciting reveal for your guests, why not start with a cocktail hour in The Garden, allowing attendees to flow into The Gallery also, taking in local art work while enjoying a grazing table and some bubbly, before moving into The Loft for the grand reveal.

The Loft can accommodate up to 300 guests standing, or 200 seated for an iconic Christmas party, and has plenty of room for you to bring it to life depending on your Christmas party themes and entertainment ideas. Enjoy watching the sunset through the windows, allowing natural light to light up the space, and enjoy abundant space for a dance floor so that guests can dance the night away.

While your guests are tearing up the dance floor and celebrating to their heart’s content, why not secure a talented photographer to capture all the goodness to relive for many years?! We highly recommend hiring one of Art of Grace’s highly skilled photographers to snap every little detail of your event, the ones you might miss, and the ones you’ll want to remember forever, so that your event can live in infamy and you have plenty of snaps you laugh about with your team in the new year.

Take it a step further and opt for a videographer too, who will get all the footage you’ve ever wanted of your team singing, dancing, mingling, and partying all night long to put into the perfect film to wrap up your night.

There are plenty of ways to elevate your corporate Christmas party, but this one has got to take the cake!
