The venue outlook was stunning, well-equipped, and perfectly suited to our needs.

From initial booking to event day, the team was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. They anticipated our needs, offered helpful solutions, and ensured everything ran smoothly. Our clients were impressed by both the space and the seamless execution.

We wouldn't hesitate to use Port Nicholson again or recommend it for future events.

Sarah Pugh – NZ Institute of Building Surveyors

The Wardroom is a warm, versatile space, with a view that surpasses other venues around Wellington.

The glass doors provide the option for indoor/outdoor flow, and guests are able to sit outside on a covered patio and enjoy the fresh air or use the ample space inside. The A/V and tech set-up is easy to use, and the room itself has good acoustics for our speakers.

We couldn't ask for a better venue for our events!
