Retirement Farewell Party Venues in Launceston by the Tamar

A retirement send-off carries a different weight to a birthday. Half the room has worked with the guest of honour for twenty years, the other half has never met them, and someone always wants to make a speech that runs long. The room has to hold all of that comfortably. 

When it comes to retirement farewell party venues in Launceston, Boathouse Centre handles farewells across both of its spaces. The Memory Maker Room seats 150 guests on round tables for a sit-down lunch or dinner and holds 250 for a standing reception. The smaller Boathouse Brews Room suits 50 guests where the send-off is for one team rather than a whole department. Views run across the water to Seaport Esplanade, which gives speakers a backdrop and gives everyone else somewhere to look between courses. 

What the Venue Covers on the Day 

Most people organising a farewell are doing it around a full-time job, so the fewer suppliers involved the better. Among retirement farewell party venues in Launceston, this one keeps catering, beverages and technical support under one roof. 

• In-house catering with menus set to suit a seated lunch, a grazing table or a full dinner service 

• Fully stocked bar carrying local Tasmanian beverages, and Boathouse Coffee for daytime functions 

• Audio-visual support for speeches, tribute slideshows and photo montages 

• Open-plan layout that allows a presentation area without splitting the room 

• Ample off-street parking, which matters when guests are travelling in from regional workplaces 

Dates in November and December fill early, since that is when most workplace farewells land. Check availability and request a room layout today!
