Main Auditorium set up for Hospice Charity Ball 2010

“The venue was wonderful for our festival. The piano was excellent and the Foyer space worked well for our needs. Thank you for providing such a great opportunity for the young people of the district to perform in professional surroundings”

“We have held several fundraising Quiz Nights as well as our 60th Reunion in the Orewa Arts and Events Centre. These have been most successful and the nice venue and great facilities it has, have certainly contributed to this. We use the AV and sound equipment, the tables and chairs - everything is on tap and very reasonable prices. I would highly recommend the venue for both a casual or more upmarket event.”

“This is a fantastic venue to hold the annual Hospice Charity Ball. We used the separate Foyer area for guests to mix and mingle on arrival. We decorated the main part to suit our theme and had lavish table settings for 200 for a served meal. We had room to put down a dance floor and the band took the stage.  Both years it has been a very special night."
