Summer is prime time for events in New Zealand, so picking the right date is key.

The best spots fill up fast, and let's be honest, nobody wants to settle for second best when you’ve got big party plans. Venues and vendors book up quickly, so lock in your spot early to avoid disappointment!

New Zealand’s summer weather can be glorious but also unpredictable, so it's smart to plan for this by considering an indoor-outdoor venue and having a solid backup plan.

Also, avoid clashing with public holidays and school breaks if you want maximum attendance.

We know that timing goes beyond just the date and venue; it’s about matching your catering to the season.

Our menus burst with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients that taste like summer on a plate! Think vibrant salads, juicy grilled meats, and fresh seafood.

Whether it’s a laid-back BBQ or a full-scale feast, we’ll work with the season to make your event truly unforgettable.

So go ahead, plan your epic summer event and let us take care of the details. After all, the best celebrations start with perfect timing and even better food.
