Hello, fellow party planners and festive enthusiasts!

I'm Janine Mergler, publisher of Christmas in Australia, Families Magazine, and Get Out With Kids. For over 15 years, I've been lucky enough to explore this beautiful country and, in that time, I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying delicious dining at many venues!

With Christmas just around the corner, I know how important it is to find the perfect venue for your Christmas party. You not only want delicious food and excellent service, but also an atmosphere that sparks the holiday spirit.

Fortunately, Sydney knows how to celebrate in style. From waterfront restaurants offering panoramic views of the Harbour Bridge to cosy, hidden gems tucked away in the heart of the city, Sydney is teeming with venues that can make your Christmas party an event to remember.
