Christmas Function Packages Perth: The Cost of a Swan Valley Celebration Per Head

Booking the team Christmas party means one big question: what will it cost per head? Prices vary widely, and hidden extras can blow a budget fast. This guide breaks down what Christmas function packages Perth venues typically include, how per-head pricing works, which extras add up and how a Swan Valley brewery compares with a city venue. Mash in Henley Brook, about 30 minutes from Perth, gives you real numbers to work with.

What Christmas Function Packages Perth Groups Typically Include

Most packages bundle three things: a space, a drink package and food. Some venues add extras such as music or decorations. Always ask what sits inside the price and what costs more.

At Mash, the package keeps things simple. The MASH. drink package covers MASH. tap beer, cider, ginger beer, wine by the glass, rail spirits with mixers, and soft drinks and juice. You pair it with a pre-ordered food package. Mash charges no booking fees and no venue hire fees, so you pay for food and drinks, not the room.

How Per-Head Pricing Works

Per-head pricing means every guest in the booking joins the same package, with no exceptions. You pick how long the party runs, and the price scales with time:

Package length	Price per person
2 hours	$70
3 hours	$85
4 hours	$100

Packages start at your confirmed reservation time. Multiply the price by your headcount for a quick drinks total. Here is what that looks like at different group sizes (drinks only):

Group size	Suggested space	Drinks total (2 to 4 hours)
20 guests	The Alfresco (75)	$1,400 to $2,000
50 guests	The Alfresco (75) or The Parlour (100)	$3,500 to $5,000
100 guests	The Parlour (100)	$7,000 to $10,000
150 guests	The Zoo or The Beer Garden (200 each)	$10,500 to $15,000

Food and Drink Extras That Add to the Bill

Food comes on top of the drink package. Mash serves share-style function platters, priced per platter. Here are some examples:

Platter	Serves	Price
Assortment of mini pies	20 pieces	$77
Chicken wings	30 pieces	$82
Angus beef sliders	10 pieces	$87
Lager battered fish goujons	25 pieces	$77
Pepperoni pizza slab	Slab	$45
Vegetarian platter	Platter	$72

As an illustration, three platters (mini pies, chicken wings and a pepperoni slab) cost $204. Spread across 20 guests, that comes to roughly $10 a head. Order more platters for a hungrier crowd, and ask the team to suggest quantities.

Watch for these costs:

• Cocktails sit outside the package, and you pay for them as you order.

• Groups over 15 must pre-order all food, and you must confirm it at least 7 days before the event.

• The kitchen is not coeliac safe, so chat to the team about allergens early.

Swan Valley Brewery vs City Venue

City venues offer convenience, but costs often stack up. Many charge room hire, minimum spends or booking fees, so always compare the total, not just the headline price. A brewery in the valley can flip that equation. Mash charges no booking fees and no venue hire fees, which keeps your budget focused on food, beer and the good times.

Space matters too. City bars can feel tight on Christmas Friday, while the valley gives you open-air seating and room to roam. If you plan a work event, browse the corporate event venues Perth options to see how a day in the valley compares with another night in the CBD.

Transport adds a small cost, so factor it in. The drive takes about 30 minutes, and a bus or driver keeps everyone safe. Mash offers an online bus booking system and a phone line for groups.

How to Lock In Your Booking

Booking is simple. Tell the team your date, event type and guest numbers. Then choose your space, pick your food and drinks and confirm. A $15 per-head pre-authorisation secures your booking, and Mash refunds it when your group meets the terms and conditions.
