The Auckland Waterfront is home to three iconic venues, perfect for large-scale gala dinners and cocktail functions. With uninterrupted views of the Waitematā Harbour, these venues are suitable for morning or evening events.
Gala dinners on Auckland's waterfront
Glitz and glamour at Shed 10, The Cloud and Viaduct Events Centre
Shed 10
This historic building is a popular corporate Christmas party venue and can accommodate up to 800 guests for dinner. However, for something more intimate, a built-in black mesh curtain can create multiple spaces and serve as an artistic backdrop. Bay windows at each end of the building and wide sliding doors create the perfect atmosphere for a day or evening function.
The Cloud
The Exhibition Floor is a large pillar-less space within The Clous and is an outstanding venue for gala dinners, award ceremonies, cocktail functions or any large-scale event. With banquet seating for up to 1,500 and 2,000 guests for cocktails, this blank canvas is sure to please.
