Tākina Events

Our team manage two venues Tākina Wellington Convention and Exhibition Centre and Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.

In the heart of Wellington, these two directly adjacent and iconic buildings provide you with the options you need for your next event. Our combined facilities can accommodate conferences and business events from 10 to 1800 people. All our spaces feature user-friendly and intuitive audio-visual systems, allowing ease of use, quality, and reliability.

Our food philosophy focuses on the nourishment of people, places, and the planet. You can look forward to hearty dishes, with ingredients from neighbouring regions. Our food does justice to Wellington's title of Aotearoa's culinary capital.

Tākina means to invoke, to connect, to bring forth and is a place of welcoming, learning, and sharing. Venues are located across the road from each other, meaning Tākina Events offers you the opportunity to combine your event with unique activities such as guided tours, private viewings of our exhibitions, or a traditional Māori cultural experience.
