A K
Amazing venue for wedding and corporate function. It has an outdoor area for the ceremony or canopy. The main room is spacious. The view is very nice here with Orakei Basin. Amble park on site. It's very close to the Orakei railway station. The staff were friendly and helpful. The gaming room has pool tables and arcade gaming machines.

Thank you Orākei Bay team! You made us feel so reassured, calm, special and taken care of from the start when we contacted you in October 2024 to the big finish in December 2025! We’d like to give special thanks to Queeny, Gaby S, Nicolle and Hannah who were all people we communicated with when booking our venue, when planning our wedding, and for our wedding rehearsal and wedding day. You made the process easier with your wonderfully kind nature, your calm energy and your knowledge of all things weddings and all things Ōrākei Bay. Thank you for answering every email, text, and call promptly, and for organising each meeting in person or online. We loved the venue for our summer wedding because of the gorgeous garden with the background being Ōrākei Basin and we could picture having our ceremony there. We also know that even a summer wedding does not guarantee a sunny day in Auckland. Ōrākei Bay had us covered (literally)! Their indoor ceremony option is stunning too with big glass windows. Even when the forecast was rain on the morning of our wedding, we were not worried as we knew we could have the ceremony inside if we needed to (it ended up just being rain in the morning and then a beautiful day). The reception area also has gorgeous glass windows and the beautiful backdrop of Ōrākei Basin. The downstairs area was opened up for cocktail hour, so we were lucky to have all of these spaces available to us. Our guests adore the venue and each of the spaces just as much as we do, and Ōrākei Bay will forever hold a special place in our hearts! Thanks for helping make our magical day come to life!

An absolute gem of Auckland, the Orakei Bay venue is a versatile and welcoming space for any event. Having worked with the Collective team, the entire event ran to plan and allowed everyone to have a fun, stress-free experience. The captivating views are absolutely stunning and were a highlight of the day. Not only was the food divine, the staff were also extremely hospitable and made us feel warm and welcome. With this venue being at the heart of Auckland, there is also ample parking area which is easily accessible for personal vehicles and food trucks which we had. I can’t imagine using another venue or working with another company! Would absolutely recommend reaching out to them if you are looking for a professional, communicative, and caring venue/company!

As a wedding photographer it is so great to work with venue where the staff are so lovely and super helpful. The venue was a pleaseure to be at , and a great location for an outdoor ceremony, with lots of room upstairs for an indoor one aswell with a view across the basin. The downstairs games room and bar was a fab place for the end of the night where guests could chill out with old school arcade games or dance the night away. A great time was had by all! Highly Recomended.
