Every event has its own rhythm, and the food should match it. That’s why we always start by talking with you about how you see the day or night unfolding. From there we can guide you on the format, a buffet that keeps people moving, a plated dinner for something more formal, or grazing platters for a relaxed flow. Whatever you choose, it all comes fresh from our on-site kitchen.

Business events don’t need to feel boxed in. At Stables you can run your meeting, conference, or awards inside, then let the day spill out into the gardens for canapés, cheeseboards, and drinks under the trees. It’s a setting that helps people connect, relax, and carry the conversation further.

Start with champagne in the courtyard, roll into a long lunch from our kitchen, and keep the afternoon flowing your way. Go relaxed with a grazing table or step it up with a set menu.

🎉 What a night! We recently celebrated a local 21st with a throwback to all things kid life! From costumes and games tables, toasted marshmallows and glow in the dark face paint, fire poi, a DJ with a full light show set up, and plenty of laughs.

The theme brought everyone together in the best possible way, dancing, playing, and partying like big kids again. Such a great reminder that birthdays are all about joy, energy, and making memories. Here’s to many more epic celebrations at The Stables!

We keep hearing the same thing after every event, "the food was so good!"

At The Stables, we don’t just feed your guests.

The meal becomes part of the memory.

Whether it’s a relaxed outdoor lunch or a full plated dinner, the food looks good, tastes better, and always brings people closer.

And honestly, we love that part the most.

🎷 Introducing Bootleg Social Club
A new series from The Stables Collective for those who want more from their average night out.
It’s all about the sound. Bold, beautiful, and impossible to ignore.

Expect curated nights of serious live music in a boutique setting, with just the right amount of swagger and soul. From deep blues and raw rhythm and roots to soul-stained ballads, Southern brass and low-slung funk this is a love letter to the real thing. Played live. Played loud. And made for Matakana.

CHAPTER ONE – FRIDAY 5 SEPTEMBER
THE COOK COUNTY SLAMMERS
Fronted by Eli Ropata, The Cook County Slammers are a 7-piece band of full-bodied blast, horn-heavy rhythm and blues soaked in soul. Think Blues Brothers swagger, with big brass and tight grooves that hit hard.

STOREHOUSE
A self-described high-performance blues engine.
Electric juke music built for Friday nights with deep blues, calypso, spirituals, and an undeniable rhythm section. Fronted by Tom Rodwell, Storehouse is less a band, more a bohemian transmission; raw, improvised, and rhythm-first. Expect a lot.

Dress sharp. Bring a date. Or just bring your ears.
There’s space to dance and space to watch.
Bootleg Social Club is unlike anything Matakana’s seen before.
