Christmas Parties in Wellington

The Key to a Fun Xmas Party in Wellington

Ideas for a fun Christmas party in wellington - packages, activities and options. We do the work - you have the fun!

Wellington is such a great place to be around Christmas time, the weathers warm (ish), the streets are all done up and you get to spend your afternoons lazing on the beanbags under the giant Xmas Tree in Waitangi Park - the whole scenario makes for a pretty amazing festive season. 

But of course, amongst all these excited holidaymakers, Christmas shoppers and carol singers is the lucky person who gets the happy job organising this year's Wellington staff Xmas party. 

Now depending on how well you manage your stress levels this may or may not be a good thing, some people love the chance to organise a staff Xmas party with all the bells and whistles that go with it, while others may just want to hide out until the ordeal is over. 

But whichever person you are everybody needs a bit of help and who better to ask then GoBananas - an events planning company that love's organising fun Christmas Parties in Wellington and making your life as easy possible. 

Our Top Christmas Party Ideas for a fun Wellington Xmas Party

We have lots of fun activities and party options in Wellington that are sure to make your Work Xmas Party a smashing success, but we also have a few select favourites that seem to be very popular year in and year out.

Take a look below:

Cocktail Making Class – Every Xmas party in Wellington is always made marginally more enjoyable by the addition of these delicious drinks and your soiree should be no different. In this fun outing, your group will head to a popular bar in Wellington CBD and learn to how to make a selection of these yummy beverages. Oh and you get to drink them too so even if you’re not totally fussed about the science behind it these no denying they sure do taste good. This is a great afternoon or early evening activity to do and is its based so centrally you’re in the perfect spot to hit some more clubs afterwards or maybe go a nearby restaurant for dinner.

Wellington Casino Night – Okay so a casino function doesn’t exactly scream “Jingle Bells” but that doesn’t mean that it can’t be one heck of popular option when it comes to celebrating the festive season. Our awesome package includes tables and dealers to run the game and it’s a great option to have running in the background if you’ve got other things going on such as a DJ or dancing. We can come to you so it’s perfect to host in your office space, someone’s house or a suitable venue which GoBananas can also help you with – whatever the backdrop this fun option is something that everyone can try their hand at.

Ideas for Xmas venues in Wellington

Wellington Zoo

Yes, we are actually talking about Wellington Zoo, the place with all the animals. 
We're not suggesting that you jump in with the lions or start a dance-off with an ape, but the Wellington Zoo does actually have four different venues that can booked for your own private party. They have nice, intimate venues for smaller groups or larger open areas if you have a lot of people and want to throw a big Xmas bash. OR if you really want to throw  Wellington Xmas party with a difference you can even hire out the whole zoo. Talk about wild!

St James Theatre

The St James Theatre is a classy and elegant type of place which would be perfect if you were looking to host a very "proper" event. With the capacity to accommodate up to 500 people for a wine or cocktail style evening its the place to be. Not that there's a lot of companies in Wellington throwing parties for 500 people - so let's just say if you need lots of space to dance its ideal. 

Begonia House

Here we have a venue that is not the largest, but if your idea of a fun party is everyone sitting down, having some laughs and enjoying a delicious meal in a really nice place, then the charming and elegant Begonia House will suit you perfectly. They have hosted a number of epic Wellington Christmas parties here over the years and the staff really do go above and beyond to make sure the place is nice for each party. If partying with a bit of class is what you are into, then this will be a great Wellington work party venue for you.

Lowry Bay Yacht Club

Lowry Bay Yacht Club is a really cool place to have a fun work party. It is right on the water so once you have finished your meal or if you just need to catch a breather, you can take your drink outside and enjoy it can take your drink outside and enjoy it under the stars. They have a marquee on their deck which is just one of the best and coolest places you can party. While they do not cater to huge groups of people, if you have a somewhat smaller workforce then this would be such an awesome place to take them out for the night. 

The Dowse

Now while having a party at an art museum may sound a bit weird, The Dowse Art Museum is actually pretty damn perfect for a Wellington work party. You see, not only id this just a really classy place, but they also have this huge open space that you can book you want for the type of party you're hosting - want tables and chairs for a sit-down dinner, or perhaps you want more open spaces for mingling and dancing - they can cater for all sorts of groups and will really go the extra mile to ensure space is set up how you'd like it. Such a great place to book you Xmas do in Wellington.
