Christmas Party locations in Vancouver??

[bluetang]

Looking for a location for my companies Christmas party this year. 60 - 70 people. Any Ideas in the Richmond, Delta, Surrey area would be apreciated.

Thanks

What sort of feeling are you trying to achieve.. how adventurous is your office :)

We are really up for anything at this point. We have done boat cruzes in the past, Simple dinner and a dance. Whats you thoughts?

There's a really nice banquet hall that will hold that many people easily that we had an Anniversary party at this summer. It's in East Richmond, near where Westminster Hwy ends. I'll try to get the name for you.

Rob,

Check this out... I got an invite to this preview event for a holiday party venue. It should be beautiful...

Rob:

You better get on it, as most good places for a crowd around 100 or more are booked at least six months ahead, if not a year. This is from the committee where I work. Hopefully with a smaller crowd, away from downtown and Ivy's help can get you a nice place this year. Ohh the pressure.

Tell me about it. Last minute again this year......:redface:

Thanks Ivy..you Da Bomb....

It's a very nice place but don't know if it's still available.

Well I thought about it last night.. and I can't really think of anything remarkable to suggest in those areas as I have limited knowledge..

However.. for an Xmas party may I suggest the following...

1.) My office rented a box to watch a Canucks vs the LA Kings game. You could probably rent a box or two for that... Will take some big time planning. They served a lovely dinner too.

2.) You could rent a venue (hotel penthouse, banquet room) http://www.tourismsurrey.ca/cms_docs/Surrey%20Facilities%20less%20than%2065.pdf (http://www.tourismsurrey.ca/cms_docs/Surrey%20Facilities%20less%20than%2065.pdf)has all the listings of places in Surrey you can host this sort of an event for under 65 people).

Hire entertainment like Vancouver Theatresports (hilarious improv comedy. They can cater the skits to be about your work environment or office. http://www.vtsl.com/), or the Underground Circus (former Cirque Du Soliel Performers, called Circus Phoenix, http://www.undergroundcircus.ca/promo/photovideo.html)

3.) A view overlooking the city at Horizons Restaurant, burnaby. http://www.horizonsrestaurant.com/

4.) Book the Beluga room at the Vancouver Aquarium for a Catered affair. http://www.vanaqua.org/cateringandevents/. They are even hosting an event with the catering, parking, and entertainment included http://www.vanaqua.org/cateringandevents/documents/AquariumParty.pdf.

5.) Sanafir (sanafir.ca) is also a hot new venue downtown that serves everyhing tapas style and the decor is to KILL FOR. Intimate and exotic check out their image gallery. Might be a little too sexy for work :) Lots of beautiful people but you could reserve the entire upstairs section.

Hope this helps. I'll think about it some more... if you want something more family oriented or rustic please specify.

I'm planning on attending that Special Ultimate Holiday venue Event on Thursday. I'll tell you how it goes.
