I'm up for it!
Where it could be held?, huh. If you go to Lower Hutt, there's a horticultural hall there that's next to the Hutt Botanical Gardens and the Riddiford gardens. Could see if that's a good place? It's quite nice there and lots of photo savvy spots. There's also two churches, a theatre and a number of other venues.

Someone took photos there.

That looks pretty sweet, I'll google around to see what the venues are like (and if they cost fewer limbs than the Wellington botanical garden venues, holy heck). Couple of places to look at: so many nice historical locations either aren't fully online or cost unpleasant amounts.

The gardens there are pretty nice ^^ I think that the Hutt venues probably don't cost as much to rent as the Wellington Botanical gardens >_<

Not sure if the venues there are online though. Tell me if they aren't and I'll pick up some information for you Very Happy

What other places are you looking at? Wellington has so many nice spots and a historical one sounds really good :)

Unable to find anything about them online, so if you could get some information that would be beast.

Looking at Turnbull House, Saint John's in the City, and if it's exceptionally good weather a picnic either at the botanical gardens or in the Ngaio Gorge. Again, any suggestions welcome, and if you have prices for places that would be even better.

I would love to attend. I was planning on doing something like this for my birthday but it didn't happen~

Alright, I'll get them for soon Very Happy

I had a look at both Turnbull house and Saint Johns in the city and it seems to me that St. Johns has the crockery and cutlery but is a little bit more expensive while Turnbull house sounds good and the fees are a little less expensive but does not offer cutlery or crockery. Of course if we hold it at St. Johns, there will need to be some people who are willing to do dishes.

A group I'm part of works closely with St John's so there is a minor chance I can ask for cheaper, but their space actually isn't very photogenic and I'd love us to go somewhere that looks amazing.

Thanks man.

haha, I went all the way to the council to find info today and then I got told that all of this is on their website...

And I find that it doesn't cost an arm or a leg! While the space itself isn't photogenic-more for conferences and the like, if you choose the ones on Laings road, the Horticultural hall, the Town hall or the Little Theatre, there are some garden out the back which is the ones I was talking about in the first post.
