Function room in Auckland City

The Maritime Room is ideal for all sorts of private functions and parties. We host corporate events like client evenings, awards dinners and retirements, as well as birthdays (including 21sts, 50ths etc), engagements, anniversaries, charity events, gala dinners, school balls and more. The space can be styled for black-tie elegance or fun themed parties, so whether it’s business or personal, we can shape the venue around your celebration.

We’re purpose-built for celebrations and can host up to 400 guests for a standing, cocktail-style function. For seated dinners or banquets, we usually cater for around 180–240 guests, depending on the table layout. Smaller groups are very welcome too – we simply use creative layouts and partitioning to make the space feel lively and well-sized for 30, 50 or 100 guests.

Yes, and it’s something we genuinely love doing.

Dessert can be plated, shared or a full station. Our fully stocked bar, plus attentive wait and bar staff, are all part of the service.
