Frequently Asked Questions
Conferences Auckland
What is the best size event at your venue?
This depends on the style of event you are after. We can cater for conferences of around 200 seated at tables or approximately 300 seated theatre style.
We have our Indoor Fireplace Area which can be more intimate for smaller groups, or our large main reception room which can open up to accommodate large numbers.
Is the hire of your venue exclusive for our event?
For conference dinners we find they work best as an exclusive event. This is an important factor in booking our venue exclusively if dependent on the date and guest numbers you are looking at.
We also host combined events on selected dates. This allows for smaller groups to benefit from the atmosphere of a larger event. These are usually for our Dine & Dance, Medieval Feast and Boogie Nights events. Other themed events are usually opened for exclusive events.
What breakout areas do you have?
We have two main events spaces at our venue, so when breaking out you can split your groups into these two areas so you can spread out, or make use of our multiple garden areas around our property.
What sound system does the venue have?
We have a top of the line sound system at Markovina. Our venue is vast and offers multiple garden locations, a key focus to us is ensuring that regardless of the location our guests are enjoying the estate we want the music experience to be stunning. There are speakers in each garden area and they have individual digital control and the ability to connect at each garden location both hard wired (for DJâs & live music) and wireless if groups opt to use their own device.
We have two handheld wireless microphones that are able to be used by your host, MC, DJ, etc. They are powered through to all of our garden locations and indoor speakers so make it easy for everyone to hear any photo calling or importance announcement.
