Function Room Hire Auckland

Sometimes less is more when it comes to special occasions, like the guest list. If you're planning a low-key birthday party, wedding reception or staff-do, hiring out a function room could be the way to go instead of a large hall. Where do you start looking? Spacetoco's got 4 C's to help you with your search!

When it comes to special occasions, you might imagine large events with heaps of people in a large venue. But 21st birthdays or even wedding receptions can also be low-key events that have a small number of guests too. If the latter is what you're planning, hiring out a function room is a great option and an alternative to having dinner at a restaurant. Where can you find these rooms, you ask? We at Spacetoco recommend you start with the 4 C's with your search!

Creative Spaces - Venues that are used for creative activities such as art, music and workshops can become private function rooms that are unique and memorable. Looking for something a bit sophisticated for your small staff-do? An art gallery like the Becroft Gallery in Takapuna is the perfect venue for some culture and conversation! Thinking of a more intimate gathering with a personal touch? You can rearrange the seats in a workshop room like the Aaiotanga Community Space, which also allows self-catering.

Cafe's and Lounges - Cafes or lounge-type venues are great for daytime celebrations and relaxed guests because they are already set up for comfortable seating and facilities for hassle-free food and beverages. For example, Encounter Church in West Auckland has an awesome cafe space that has a barista station, beautiful festoon lights and comfy cafe style seating for 40 people, perfect for a 50th or even a wedding morning tea. Or, you can book Kete Aronui's comfy cafe style room for smaller engagements.

Community Meeting Rooms - Community spaces are perfect for dinners, especially if you're thinking about external catering. These affordable function spaces usually have kitchens/kitchenettes attached and are 'blank spaces', which gives you heaps of options for seating. Examples of these rooms include the Grey Lynn Community Centre's Garden Room, and meeting spaces at St. Aidan's Church or Remuera Baptist Church - just make sure you read the details of hire to see the exact facilities they offer!

Character-filled Function Spaces - Planning a party for an eclectic bunch? Why not hire a room that's as character-filled as your guests! Hotels, community venues or even theatres usually have unique spaces for hire that are quirky or even historical. The Armanasco House in Blockhouse Bay is a beautiful historical villa that's perfect for high tea or a fancy bridal shower, while the Garnet Station's Jade Lounge is an eclectic and colourful private function room with catering and full bar facilities.

A small guest list or space doesn't make your occasion any less special. A function room can be the perfect venue for a memorable event, especially if it's one of the 4 C's.
