Wellington is a cosmopolitan city with an energetic personality; a thriving hub that brings together amazing events and experiences for everyone from business and government, to cultural and arts institutions.
With a vibrant city centre located close to the airport (only a short 15-minute drive), Wellington is easily accessible with regular trans-Tasman flights and connections to the North and South Islands. Delegates will find it easy to get around with Venues Wellington’s diverse portfolio of venues conveniently located within walking distance of hotels, the waterfront, restaurants, bars, galleries, shops, museums, and neighbouring attractions like Weta Cave, wineries, tracks and beaches.
Venues Wellington has five great venues with a mix of styles and spaces to suit any event – from the iconic architecture of the Michael Fowler Centre, to the modern flexibility of TSB Arena and Auditorium (Shed 6) and the opulence of the 100-year-old Opera House. The versatility of their venues means they can offer a bespoke event experience and comfortably cater for a variety of sizes and configurations including plenary sessions, meeting rooms, tradeshows and exhibitions, as well as gala dinners, cocktail functions and catering. They have spaces for 60 – 6000.
The expert team at Venues Wellington will work closely with your organisation and their longstanding suppliers to bring a high level of expertise and services, including AV and catering, to deliver an outstanding event and delegate experience.
