Events & Corporate Meetings
's event infrastructure was built around Wellington's role as New Zealand's political and cultural capital - a city where the people in the room often matter as much as what is on the agenda. The property offers five distinct meeting and event configurations ranging from a 12-person boardroom to a 280-person reception format in the Meridian dining hall, all managed by an in-house events team with deep local vendor networks. Every brief is treated as a design problem, not a logistics checklist.
Five Venue Configurations
From the six-pod Business Hub for focused working sessions to the full Meridian floor-plate for large receptions - each space transforms without portable partition walls or visible staging equipment.
On-Demand AV Engineering
A resident AV technician is available throughout every booked event, not just for setup - live troubleshooting and real-time format adjustment come standard at no additional charge.
Wellington Vendor Network
The events team maintains active relationships with 34 local suppliers - florists, photographers, furniture hire specialists, and production companies - so clients access Wellington's best operators through a single point of contact.
Chef-Driven Event Catering
Mara Tūhoe's kitchen team designs event menus specifically - not from a banquet catalogue - with seasonal New Zealand produce and dietary customisation built in from the first planning meeting.
Delegate Room Blocks
Event organisers can secure preferential room rates across all three accommodation tiers for confirmed delegate groups, with a single invoice and dedicated room-block coordinator assigned to each booking.
Penthouse Boardroom Option
The Te Aro Penthouse terrace can be configured as an open-air boardroom for groups of up to 14 - Wellington's harbour as backdrop, heated deck underfoot, and the city laid out below as a natural conversation starter.
