Star Group has launched a coordinated meetings and events offering, bringing together more than 50 venues and 150+ event spaces across the North Island.
Born from the coming together of three well-known hospitality operators - Joylab, Kāpura and Black & Gold Events - and backed by DB Breweries and Heineken, Star Group gives organisers streamlined access to a diverse portfolio of hospitality venues across Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Wellington.
The network includes spaces suited to board meetings, strategy sessions, client events, private dining, conferences, cocktail functions and full venue takeovers - from intimate gatherings through to large-scale events.
With dedicated event managers, tailored food and beverage packages, AV capabilities, flexible formats and no room hire fees across many venues, the focus is on making planning simple while delivering memorable guest experiences.
For organisers delivering events across multiple North Island regions, Star Group combines scale, flexibility and local venue personality within one connected hospitality network.
