This week, we’re taking you inside the heart of it all, The Lodge.
From the very beginning, this venue was designed with versatility in mind. A breathtaking entrance opens up into a space that expands with the view — a reveal that never fails to impress.
The infinity walkway was carefully aligned with the channel between Ponui and Waiheke Islands which took more than a few attempts to get it right.
Built to hold four tonnes, this same runway has welcomed everything from luxury vehicle launches to unforgettable wedding entrances.
With the help of @spacecraftarchitects we created a venue that balances rustic warmth with modern, industrial design — a space that frames the incredible views while feeling both welcoming and world-class.
Over the years, the Lodge has been the backdrop for countless moments. It’s more than a venue — it’s the heart of where memories are made. And we can’t wait to keep making more.
Last week Ollie took the team to Queenstown as a well deserved thank you for the effort we’ve poured into the past year. With our busiest season running from November to April, we save our Christmas party for mid-year, a time to pause, celebrate, and reconnect.
The trip was full of laughs, bonding, and a little friendly competition, reminding us why we’re such a strong team. We work hard, we play hard, and above all, we’re passionate about creating incredible events.
Now, refreshed and inspired, we’re ready to welcome you back and bring your vision to life!
And yes, no trip to Queenstown is complete without rodeo ride at cowboys bar 🤠

Every wedding is a story, and it’s the thoughtful details that weave it all together — from the elegant florals to the oyster bar styled with statement umbrellas, each touch adds to the celebration.
We love seeing how each couple’s vision comes together — creating a day that feels effortless, personal, and unforgettable.

From the very beginning, The Bunkers was designed to be unlike anything else — a truly custom-made event space with the flexibility to host it all.
Over the past decade, it’s welcomed everything from hens and stags, corporate retreats, and private events, to car launches, intimate weddings, and — known for its world-class shooting venue — we’ve even hosted national tournaments.
What makes this venue so special? The chance to completely disconnect. Tucked away and off the grid, it offers a rare kind of escape — where the focus is entirely on the people, the moment, and the celebration at hand.
Here’s to 10 years of unforgettable experiences, and the countless memories still to be made within these walls - hot barrels!

Ten years ago, we welcomed our very first wedding season!
Back before the glowing reviews and social media hype, couples put their trust in us - and they’ve been doing it ever since. Each celebration has brought joy, connection, and the magic of two people saying “I do.”
From intimate elopements to grand celebrations, our spaces have been filled with love, laughter, and happy tears.
To every couple who has trusted us with such a special moment - thank you. You’ve not only filled our venue with unforgettable memories, you’ve helped write its history.
Here’s to a decade of love stories… and all the ones still to come 🥂

Ten years ago, we opened our doors and hosted our very first event - a day full of hope, energy, and the beginning of something incredible. We couldn’t have imagined then the journey that would follow, or the community that would grow within these walls.
From that first event to the hundreds that followed, we’ve had the honour of being part of your weddings, launches, conferences, and celebrations - each one special, each one shaping the heart of our venue.
To every planner, performer, caterer, guest and client who’s walked through our doors - thank you. Your trust has been our greatest honour.
Here’s to a decade of memories… and the next chapter that’s just beginning.
There’s something about May light ✨🍂🧡
And your dream day could be next. Autumn 2026 enquiries now open.
