The Velarium

We’re thrilled to share that The Velarium at Bracu Estate has officially reached a major milestone — with Stages 1 and 2 now complete. The elegant structure and expansive decking are finished, and the venue is now event-ready.

As we move into Stage 3, our focus turns to the surrounding landscape. Over the coming months, we’ll be thoughtfully shaping the grounds to enhance the natural beauty of the olive grove setting, adding the final touches to what will become one of Auckland’s most breathtaking event spaces.

Nestled among the serene olive trees of Bracu Estate, The Velarium is a refined and versatile venue designed for unforgettable weddings, corporate functions, and private celebrations. With its seamless blend of architectural elegance and natural charm, it offers an extraordinary backdrop for any occasion.

Bookings are now open for Spring and Summer 2025. Be among the first to experience events at The Velarium.
