So, in the spirit of the holidays we ask you to deck these halls, so it won’t be a Blue Christmas.
Colchester Ridge at Crew Estate Winery
You know it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas when you start planning your holiday party. Crew Winery may just be the spot for you, not just because of the beauty of the venue, but also because of their wonderful accommodations for you and your guests. If you’re hosting a large group, that’s perfect because Crew can do plated seated meals for up to 100 guests and the cocktail reception can hold up to 120.
The professional staff will take great care of your party with their private bar, private washrooms, and their private kitchen with their Red Seal chef. Are you looking for a picture-perfect moment? Well, Crew Winery’s got that too. With their art gallery and private screened patio overlooking the vineyard, you will have moments perfect enough to put in your Christmas cards!
Blake’s Orchard & Cider Mill
All I want for Christmas is an event held at Blake’s Orchard & Cider Mill. From larger affairs to tight-knit gatherings this venue is waiting to be the place for your crowd. This event space can give your party a wonderful, rustic vibe that will make your guests feel like they’re in a cozy log cabin. Blake’s Orchard & Cider Mill has their Orchard Square Tap which is their smallest event space styled like an upscale barn hosting 40 people, up to their other weather appropriate spaces including the Apple Barn and Blake’s Backyard Greenhouse that both hold up to 120 guests all with temperature control.
All rentals come with staff, tables, chairs, linens, dinnerware, flatware, glassware, and non-alcoholic beverages. All venues have the option to cater with their food as well as alcoholic beverages including their wine, craft beer, and hard cider. This Michigan spot will make sure there won’t be a Scrooge in sight.
Erie St. GastroPub
There’s no place like Erie St. GastroPub for Christmas…parties. This location is a stylish place to hold your gathering as it is elegantly decorated with greenery and finished wood tables. The best part about this venue is that it is a restaurant, so you can expect food, non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, private washrooms, as well as dishware. There is also the option to either rent out their private party dining area if you’re a smaller party of up to 36, or you can rent out the entire venue if you’re a party of up to 147.
Your guests will not be disappointed with Erie St. GastroPub’s mouthwateringly delicious Asian Fusion food as well as their delightfully imaginative craft cocktails. Another great aspect of this venue is that the cost of it is a deposit that is returned to you in full if you match the expected profits of the pub’s evening. With a party planned here your guests will have more than just visions of sugar plums.
The Fogolar Furlan Club
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year when you get to throw an event at the Fogolar Furlan Club. This is a perfect example of a classic venue option for your holiday event. This hall has hosted many events through the years anywhere from weddings to corporate events, and they are ready to pull together whatever you are looking for this holiday season! The Fogolar has venues small enough for a group of 48 all the way up to a room large enough to host 600 guests. The Fogolar Furlan prides themselves on their multimedia tech abilities so if you have a slideshow, motivational video, or presentation they have got you covered.
Other amenities include a full bar/lounge, on-site catering, staffing, as well as dishware. If you’re looking to host a classy evening for your guests, then this is your spot. If you ask me this venue is on the nice list.
Urban Fieldhouse
Step Into Christmas this year with your holiday party at Urban Fieldhouse. This local event hall is the perfect space for you to host a delightful evening for you and your crowd. This space has plenty to offer and in a fashionably rustic way. This hall has become very popular mostly because of its great location, but also because of the variety of packages they offer for events. They have packages for events for 50 people and larger packages for 200 person parties. The best part is how inclusive their packages are with a coffee cart, full bar, in-house catering, dishware, set up/tear down options, and their own DJ reference.
Urban Fieldhouse is ready to give you a stress-free event planning process with all your bases covered. With air-tight plans like this nobody will be able to steal your Christmas party.
