St Matthew-in-the-City

Sitting proudly in the heart of Auckland, St Matthew's is a majestic neo-Gothic piece of history, serving as a unique venue in the city.

Built in 1905, an Anglican church St Matthew-in-the-City is filled with rich, fascinating history, reflecting the ever-growing and multi-faceted background of Auckland. With its distinctive style, the venue is known for its sense of grandeur, sporting ornate stained glass windows, polished brass fixtures and Kauri floors; specifically designed lighting emphasises the church’s lofty stature.

Hosting up to 450 guests, St Matthew's plays host to a wide range of events, including weddings, cocktail parties, seminars, concerts, photoshoots and more. Versatile in its stately beauty, the venue features a single and cavernous main space for use, acting as a blank slate for your vision. Featuring a state-of-the-art Intellivox sound system combined with sublime acoustics, it is the ideal location for your next function.

For your added convenience, St Matthew's also offers a selection of preferred suppliers, whether you are looking for outstanding catering or entertainment. You are also more than welcome to choose your own external vendors. Whatever your dream is for your event, this central city venue can make it come true.

Grace Matene

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at St Matthews and it was an absolute dream. Dmitry was absolutely incredible with everything he was so knowledgeable and helped with so much of the organization and nothing was a ever a problem. Would recommend to anyone thinking of using this stunning church and space or a wedding or function!!

Lucie Fox

A beautiful and inspiring church, once you step inside you feel a world away from the hectic city just outside. Great acoustics and a very atmospheric and dramatic venue for arts events and weddings.

I went to a candle light concert, tribute to Hans Zimmer, and what a joy!The venue and the performance are outstanding, the only downside is that the sitting areas the same as a church which can making complicated to sit comfortably.
