About Whole Venue
300 Standing / Reception
150 Seated
The spectacular glass dome overhead bathes the entire Trading House in natural light, creating an atmosphere that shifts beautifully from day to evening celebrations. Our 1912 building on Gresham Street brings together 300 guests for standing receptions or seats 150 comfortably for dinner parties, with the original Bank of New Zealand architecture providing an extraordinary backdrop for your event. At the heart of our space, the 1906 horseshoe-shaped bar hangs suspended from the ceiling, becoming a natural gathering point where guests marvel at its unique design while our bartenders pour from over 200 craft beers or mix theatrical cocktails like the smoke-filled Lavender Priest. The preserved wood paneling and soaring ceilings create intimate conversation areas throughout the ground floor, while taxidermy peacocks and antique globes add unexpected touches that spark conversation. Our mezzanine level transforms smaller celebrations, accommodating 50 guests with its own private bar overlooking the main floor below. Live piano music fills the space during evening events, while weekend DJs blend jazz with electronic beats to keep dance floors packed. The Grade II-listed architecture, with its grand chandeliers and Victorian details, photographs beautifully for weddings and milestone birthdays. Our kitchen serves sharing platters of Sunday roasts and hanging kebabs cooked over open flames, creating both visual drama and delicious talking points. The semi-private restaurant section works perfectly for seated dinners, while the open floor plan allows cocktail parties to flow naturally between spaces. Just steps from Bank station, we offer exclusive hire on a minimum spend basis with no venue fees. Our team works with you to craft bespoke packages for corporate events, wedding receptions, and birthday celebrations, ensuring every detail reflects your vision. The combination of historic grandeur and unexpected colonial touches makes every gathering here genuinely memorable.
