Planning a Private Function Right On Sydney Harbour
Have cause to celebrate and want to host a party no one will forget? Then planning your private function right on Sydney Harbour will certainly do the trick. There’s nothing like the subtle reflection of the city lights on the ocean as you cruise across the water on one of the Sydney harbour cruises, eating delicious food and partying the night away. But how do you go about ensuring it really is a night to remember? We’ve got the expert tips to help you get organised:
What sort of function
The first thing you need to consider is what type of function you want to have. Are you thinking of a sit down dinner or more of a casual cocktail event with a few canapes and drinks enjoyed on a boat on the harbour? The type of function you want will also determine your budget required for the evening and the amount of guests to invite.
Making the booking
Now you know what type of party you want, it’s time to make a booking and double check that there is something available for you on the night you want to host the event. You can also then discuss with them what is available for the budget you have.
The invitations
Your invitations are an important element to your event. They will help set the tone for what guests are to expect and will help them decide on the appropriate outfit to wear to your function as well. It’s a good idea that you send these out well in advance so that people can ensure they keep that evening free.
The entertainment
You will want some form of entertainment for the evening. Discuss with the cruise company the range of options available. From DJs to karaoke there should be plenty of ideas to choose from. You may be thinking that the evening’s entertainment should be a live jazz band, or perhaps some black tie opera singers would be more suitable. Whatever you’re thinking, the options really are limitless.
The decor
Depending on the occasion, you may want the boat’s interior decorated in a certain way. Once again whether you are organising one of the Sydney harbour dinner cruises or a sunset cocktail party there are plenty of decorative options to add to the atmosphere of the boat.
The night
Once you’ve done all the planning and everyone’s there, you should be able to relax and enjoy yourself. If possible, try to mingle with your guests and visit each table or group of people twice throughout the evening.
Capture the event
Your celebration harbour cruise will be a night you’ll want to remember forever. That’s why it’s a good idea to have a photographer capture the night for you.
