We hosted our daughter's 4th birthday party here. The space was fantastic, very big lots of space for kids to run around. Communication was quick from start to finish and they were very welcoming and accommodating. It was also very clean. I would definitely host another event here. Also it's amazing in terms of location..there's a convinience store in the same plaza as well as restaurants and grocery stores all within a 5 min range in case you need to run out to get something for your event!

This space was perfect for a team meeting/planning session! It was bright, spacious, and beautifully modern. I liked that the space was so modular so it fit multiple needs for our group (table meeting, on our feet planning, and relaxing/hanging out with each other). Will recommend! Thanks Darwin!

This has been one of my favourite studios to shoot in. The natural light is incredible, and love the options of the white wall and cement wall for my product backgrounds. :)

Advantages and Disadvantages of Dunedin for a Party

The beauty of Dunedin means that you might be tempted to book a property straight away but let's consider the pros and cons of the city itself before you make any hasty decisions!

Advantages

  • There's definitely lots to do in the city in your free time, from visiting the Dunedin Public Art Gallery to lazing about on one of the many beautiful beaches.

  • No lack of cafes and good food in the heart of the city so you'll be able to find the best caterers and excellent food without any issues.

  • It's easy to get around and enough public transport systems, ranging from buses to trains.

Disadvantages

  • Unfortunately, the weather can vary quite a bit with plenty of rain and cold fronts throughout the year. That might disturb any plans for outdoor events.

  • It's a quiet, small town-like city with a slow pace of life so you can't go looking for a vibrant nightlife.

  • Unlike bigger cities like Auckland, there aren't as many venues as you might like, and the best ones get quickly booked out.

Choosing the Right Type of Location for a Party in Dunedin

From corporate events like business dinners and promotions to private birthday parties or wedding receptions, what any event needs first of all is a great venue. Look through Giggster's 17 venues and find the space that will tick all your boxes!

Mansion – Grand Weddings. A mansion built by a pioneer with Scottish roots is the center of Otago's social and political history in many ways. A sweeping driveway, huge lawns and orchards, a courtyard with a massive fountain, a conservatory, and bedrooms filled with historic charm make this an ultimate wedding destination.

Restaurant or Bar – A Night of Fun. When it's something more lowkey and casual that you have in mind, a wine bar, distillery, or intimate restaurant is the correct place for you. Often having private dining rooms that you can book out for the whole event, you can let loose and have fun without fearing any disturbances.

Gallery – One-of-a-Kind Venues. Truly some of the most versatile spaces in Dunedin, book one of these beautiful and unique galleries for anything from a kid's birthday party to a lecture or a corporate meet and greet. Surrounded by information and knowledge, you're getting much more out of these spaces than a simple event venue.

Outdoor Spaces – Celebrate in Nature. Given Dunedin's beautiful surroundings, an outdoor party is an excellent idea if the weather permits! Charming gardens attached to estates, camping grounds with tent and bonfire facilities, or a tropical forest museum allows you to soak in the sun and absorb the beauty of sun-dappled trees and bushes.

Bed and Breakfast – Quiet and Private Events. Create a warm and inviting atmosphere for your guests at a cozy bed and breakfast built by a Scottish sea captain. Stained glass windows, oak paneling, fireplaces, and a deck with magnificent views all contribute to creating a beautiful and serene event venue.

Planning Your Party in Dunedin

Whatever it is that you're planning, whether that's a birthday party or other events, there are a ton of steps to go through even before the day of the event arrives!

Decide on Event Purpose This can be as simple as throwing your best friend the best bridal shower of her life and you might have to come up with some theme accordingly or it might be a corporate event where you have some specific set of goals to meet.

Determine the Budget You can't do anything, buy any decor and equipment, or rent any event spaces if you don't first work out what the budget will be like. Once you've decided on how much to spend on each aspect of party planning, go right on ahead!

Work Out Attendee List Planning a small, intimate event with your closest family and friends or wanting to go all out and invite everyone in your company? Each of these will affect your budget, your venue, and the ambiance of the event.

Figure Out Suppliers You might need suppliers for audiovisual equipment in case you want to show a slideshow of photographs at a rehearsal dinner. You'll definitely need caterers and bakers to provide delicious food and a cake. Finding suppliers who you can work with on a long-term basis definitely helps.

Spread the Word Whether that's by calling your guests and giving them the time and place, preparing handmade invitations, or doing promotions via social media, the only way you'll get people to turn up at the event is by informing them of it as far in advance as you can!

How to Save Money on Your Party in Dunedin

We've already checked out event spaces in Dunedin in a variety of price ranges but there are also other ways of saving money. The essence of a party is how much of your heart and effort you put into it, not how much you spend.

Plan around peak season.

Everything is more expensive and in higher demand during the peak season so you might want to avoid the height of summer and the more touristy season while planning.

Check what features the venues already have.

This could mean basic amenities like chairs and tables, and it's always a relief when you don't need to separately hire those, or it could mean specialized audiovisual equipment or equipment for party games. Some cafes and restaurants already come with those in case you need to keep the kids entertained.

Talk to different vendors.

There's no guarantee that the first furniture rental shop or baker you're speaking to is going to offer you the best deals. If you want to make the most of the special occasion, speaking to different vendors and getting a good idea of the rates is essential!
