Crafting exceptional experiences
Tucked away in the heart of Remuera and surrounded by ancient Pohutukawa trees is one of Auckland’s most idyllic and iconic events venues.
The view across Ōrakei Basin.
Perched on the water’s edge of the scenic Ōrākei Basin, Ōrākei Bay is a wedding and events venue like no other.
Offering effortless style surrounded by mother nature, a ridiculously central location that feels another world away, and a passionate catering and events team, Ōrākei Bay provides the perfect space for celebrations ranging from intimate gatherings, to festivities for up to 160 people.
Our professional events team brings innovation, versatility, and seamless planning and delivery to every event, meaning once you’ve given us your brief, we’ll take care of the rest. Dream wedding? Christmas do? Product launch? Grandma’s special birthday? We have the package for you.
Onsite catering from Collective Hospitality will help further enrich and elevate the way you celebrate, with their carefully crafted dishes that specialise in being fresh, local, seasonal and sustainable.
“Aotearoa on a Plate” - the culinary ethos at the heart of Collective Hospitality.
Ōrākei Bay’s multiple spaces and indoor-outdoor flow means we can work with your vision, whatever the occasion or objective. You can book as many or as little of our four distinct spaces as you like, but with only one booking a day, our place is all yours.
