Private Functions & Events at Beech Tree

Looking for a function venue in Queenstown that doesn’t feel like a function venue? Beech Tree offers a relaxed, welcoming space for private events, corporate gatherings, birthday celebrations, and group bookings — all backed by 26 taps of New Zealand craft beer and a team that knows how to look after a crowd.

We host everything from intimate birthday dinners to full venue buyouts, and we’ll work with you to make your event exactly what you need it to be.


What We Offer

Capacity Beech Tree comfortably accommodates up to 100 guests for standing events and up to 70 for seated functions. We can configure the space to suit your group size and event style.

Beverage Packages Choose from a range of drink packages built around our rotating tap selection of New Zealand craft beer, or work with us to create a custom bar tab. We’ll make sure your guests are well looked after from the first round to the last.

Food We offer food options to suit your event, from grazing platters and shared plates through to more structured dining. Talk to us about what works for your group and we’ll sort the details.

Dedicated Staff Your function gets attentive, dedicated service so you can actually enjoy your own event. We handle the bar so you don’t have to.
