For more than a decade, Due Drop Events Centre has hosted, welcomed and entertained more than 2.2 million patrons, clients and guests. We’ve had thousands of events — exhibits, concerts, conferences, conventions, seminars, festivals, fairs, fashion shows, graduations, performances, plays, weddings, community activities, workshops, and every event conceivable — and have become a special place of gr

eat memories and a magnificent centre of successful outcomes. Owned and operated by Waka Pacific Trust on behalf of the community, we are Auckland’s most iconic event venue.

Our professional staff offer a wealth of experience to event organisers from beginning to end. Our catering and audiovisual equipment partners are industry leaders and ensure high standards of service. We all work seamlessly together to make events run like clockwork. Lastly, we deliver the country’s largest free schools programme and provide high quality educational experiences led by industry professionals. We are dedicated to giving back to the community to help build a better New Zealand.
