COMPOSTION | Nerida Ramsay (May2017)... “I just wanted to pass on our thanks to you and your team for the great service we received for our event we held last week. Everyone was so helpful and friendly and nothing was a problem so that was appreciated. Not once did we have to chase staff to do things they were there on time to change over food etc it was a brief of fresh air to work in a venue that was so organised and professional. Also thanks to the chef and kitchen team as the food looked amazing and was obviously very good as platters were cleared and we appreciated your flexibility with the additions and changes. We look forward to having the opportunity to host another event there in the future.
SUSTAINABLE SEAS | Julie Hall (May2017)... “I want to say thank you to you and your team for the very professional and efficient support that you gave us during our conference last week.

IPENZ, Engineers New Zealand | Jan Macandrew – Events Manager (Apr2017)... A huge thanks to you and the team for the great venue, AV, food and service. Got lots of positive feedback. We’d love to come back again for our 2018 Forum.
CENTRAL PACIFIC COLLECTIVE | Anne Allan-Moetaua (Feb2017)... Thank You for the part you and your team played in ensuring that our event was a success. Your staff were professional and yet nice and friendly, nothing we asked for were too much trouble. Please thank Vale, the bar staff, and the lady responsible for the serving of food for us.”
PRIVATE EVENT | BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION, VALU Valu (Jan2017)Just wanted to thank you and the whole team for such a wonderful experience!!! From the booking all the way to working with Vale and the team on the night. You guys were fantastic....thank you! Everyone raved on about the venue and especially the food?! (Those scallops in the spoons were a major hit). My wife loved her bday and in the end that's what counts.
HIKIITA (Nov2016)... I would like to thank you, Paul and all your staff involved for the success of our function last night.

RNZRSA | KAYE (OCT2016)... On another note Marissa, I want to thank you and the team for the exceptional service you gave us last Monday night. The venue was perfect for our event and everyone had a wonderful time. The staff were fantastic – so friendly and helpful. And the food was amazing. So often at these gigs that I organise the food is lacking – it doesn’t get out to the crowds and there isn’t enough. I was blown away by the quality and quantity. Would you please thank the staff on my behalf for their great service – it was very much appreciated and I will definitely be using your venue again.”
PRIVATE EVENT | EMILY HALL (OCT2016)... I just wanted to say a really big thank you to you both and all your staff there for making us all so welcome, and for being so flexible as the filming plans were changing a bit.
