When it comes to delivering consistently high-quality guest experiences, few partners understand the nuances of venue-based events quite like Limelight Catering. As the in-house catering provider for both Auckland Live and Auckland Conventions, Venues & Events, Limelight combines deep operational expertise with a refined culinary offering — making them an indispensable part of our event delivery network.
Who They Are
With a vision to craft exceptional dishes using locally sourced ingredients, Limelight Catering brings both precision and passion to the table. Their menus are thoughtfully designed and executed by a talented culinary team who are as committed to presentation and flavour as they are to efficiency and professionalism.
From large-scale conferences and cocktail functions to sit-down dinners and executive meetings, Limelight consistently delivers food and service that enhance the overall event experience. Their deep familiarity with the venues they operate within ensures seamless logistics, reliable timing, and a service style that reflects the high standards of both the venue and our clients.
Our Partnership
Limelight Catering has been a trusted partner across numerous events held at Auckland’s key civic and cultural venues. Their ability to adapt menus to suit the tone, timing, and scale of each event — while maintaining consistency in quality — makes them a valued extension of our team.
Their operational insight and collaborative approach are particularly valuable when managing back-to-back events or large delegate movements. From early planning through to execution, Limelight brings a calm confidence and attention to detail that enables our teams to deliver with certainty.
In Action: Excellence at Every Scale
A recent highlight of our work with Limelight Catering was a special Matariki lunch event at The Civic, where guests enjoyed an opportunity to dine on the theatre’s iconic stage. Designed specifically for the occasion, the menu celebrated seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and reflected the themes of connection and reflection central to Matariki. Limelight’s team executed the service with their signature efficiency and warmth, creating an intimate, memorable experience that perfectly showcased both the venue and the spirit of the event.
