Weddings

Away from the hustle of the central city lies a romantic haven for a wedding celebration you once only dreamed of.

A truly unique wedding venue in the heart of Takapuna Beach, one of Auckland's most alluring seaside locations, the Bruce Mason Centre offers a choice of adaptable facilities for small to large wedding receptions and ceremonies.

The Centre's reception area offers space for up tp 200 guests and a stunning view of Rangitoto Island. For larger or more dramatic weddings, the Auditorium can be converted to a flat floor space accommodating up to 500 people. There is ample on-site parking and beautiful photo opportunity surroundings nearby, including Takapuna Beach, Lake Pupuke and Killarney Park.

Our experienced and friendly personnel will create an individually tailored wedding plan to suit your requirements, including catering and theming, and can even organise accommodation at the nearby Spencer on Byron Hotel .

Professional in-house catering options range from formal menus to sumptuous buffets and finger foods. We can also help you organise floral arrangements, entertainment, room décor, even that special cake through our preferred suppliers.

We offer a range of wedding packages from the most luxurious celebration with all the trimmings, to a simple event plan for you to add the finishing touches yourself. We are also happy to help you create your own package from the very beginning, the choice is yours.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Bruce Mason Centre for your celebrations.
