POV: Your Christmas party = warm sparkling w**e, supermarket crackers and awkward small talk beside the photocopier.

It could look more like:

• A cocktail-paired long lunch
• A roaming feast that keeps everyone mingling
• A fully catered celebration at your workplace or private venue
• A licensed mobile bar serving cocktails, local w**e and excellent non-alcoholic options
• Someone else handling the food, drinks and clean-up

We bring the bar, the food and the fun to locations across Central Otago, Queenstown, Wānaka, Dunedin and beyond.

The best summer dates are already filling, so now is a very good time to gather the team and choose one.

New Christmas Party article out now!

The best Christmas parties begin with the right atmosphere, excellent food and drinks, and the chance for everyone to relax together. Including the person who normally gets stuck organising the whole thing.

Whether you’re planning a corporate Christmas party in Dunedin, Queenstown, Wānaka, Cromwell, Alexandra or elsewhere across Otago, Lemon Pie Events can bring the celebration to you.

From our licensed mobile bar and relaxed grazing platters to cocktails, canapés and fully catered feasts, we’ll help you create an end-of-year celebration your team will genuinely look forward to. Not one they politely attend for 45 minutes before sneaking home.

Here are some of our favourite Christmas party ideas for 2026 and 2027.

NEW! A more relaxed way to feast.

Not every celebration needs a formal three-course dinner.

Our Alpine Roaming Feast is designed to flow with the event, beginning with generous antipasto and canapés before moving into sliders, satisfying dinner portions and optional desserts or late-night bites.

Guests can mingle. Conversations keep moving. Nobody is stuck at the same table all evening.

It is generous, social and wonderfully relaxed, making it a brilliant choice for weddings, corporate Christmas parties and big summer celebrations.

Big birthdays deserve a proper celebration

From 18ths to 90ths, we have done them all.

The beautifully styled dinners. The backyard parties that grew into something much bigger. The long lunches, surprise celebrations, family reunions and dance-floor-filled nights nobody wanted to end.

Whatever the number, a milestone birthday is a chance to gather the people who have been part of your story and celebrate properly.

Lemon Pie Events can take care of the catering, bar, styling, set-up and coordination, leaving you free to actually enjoy the party.

Have a big birthday coming up? Get in touch with Anna and let’s make it one worth remembering.

A very cool business is looking for a new home.

Our wider events business is booming, and with our focus increasingly moving towards weddings, catering and corporate events, we’ve made the difficult decision to let our boutique children’s party business go to someone who can give it the energy and attention it deserves.

This is a complete, ready-to-go business and equipment package, bringing together:

• Boutique teepee sleepovers
• Styled picnic parties
• DIY pamper parties
• Paint & Create experiences
• Beautiful equipment and themed collections
• Professional imagery, pricing, suppliers and established systems
• A complete handover and training session

There are so many ways for the right person to make it their own, from private birthdays and children’s catering to school holiday sessions, community events, sports clubs and creative collaborations.

All the beautiful pieces sourced. All the groundwork done. Ready for a new owner to take it forward.

For the full information pack, contact Anna at [email protected].

A wedding doesn’t always have to fit neatly into one day.

When your favourite people have travelled from across New Zealand—or further—to celebrate with you, it makes sense to create a little more time together.

That might look like welcome drinks and grazing the evening before, cocktails and a shared feast on the wedding day, followed by coffee, brunch and a slightly slower catch-up the next morning.

At Lemon Pie Events, we can cater for the whole wedding weekend, including:

– Welcome dinners and pre-wedding gatherings
– Canapés, shared feasts and wedding receptions
– Mobile caravan bars and cocktail service
– Day-after brunches and recovery grazing
– Staff, beverage service and practical event support

You don’t need to organise three completely separate events or coordinate a long list of suppliers. We can help you create one beautifully connected celebration that feels generous, relaxed and completely your own.

Planning a multi-day wedding in Otago, Southland or Canterbury? We’re now taking bookings for the upcoming wedding season.

Some people come to us with a venue, a guest list and a very clear vision.

Others come to us with a date and a sentence that begins, “We were thinking maybe…”

Both are completely fine.

Our job is to listen, ask the right questions and help you create an event that feels like you — while making sure it works practically behind the scenes.

We bring together food, planning, service, timing and all the small details guests may never notice individually, but will absolutely feel as part of the experience.

Weddings, corporate events, Christmas parties, private celebrations, retreats and multi-day gatherings: every event is different, which is precisely why we don’t believe in forcing people into one standard format.

Bring us your occasion. We’ll help you work out the rest.

Why should you book your spring, summer or Christmas event now?

Not because we want to add unnecessary urgency. Simply because booking early gives you more choice.

More choice of dates. More time to secure the right venue. More flexibility around your menu and event format. More opportunity to consider the details properly — and far less pressure as the day gets closer.

December in particular has a habit of arriving very quickly.

If you’re responsible for a wedding, work function, family celebration or end-of-year event, an early conversation can make the entire process easier.

Lemon Pie Events is now taking bookings for the upcoming season. Even if you’re still at the “we’re thinking about doing something” stage, you’re welcome to get in touch.
