‘’Could not be happier with the service provided by the Museum. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our day went smoothly. The space Under the Dome was absolutely magical, we loved having both our ceremony and reception there. We appreciate all the effort they put in to make our special day even more special.”

"Our daughter's wedding reception at the Te Ao Mārama South Atrium at the Auckland Museum was year in the planning. This special space set the scene for a magical and memorable evening for our families and guests. The events team at the Museum were simply outstanding with the planning in the lead up to the event and arrangements on the day being well orchestrated. We did not have a thing to worry about and were able to immerse ourselves in the festivities of the evening. Heartfelt thanks to Natasha, Kelly and the entire team for their diligence and hard work to make our event a resounding success."
