Reviews

Saige Hancox | Outward Bound

Thank you so much for everything last night! Wow- we were blown away with how seamless everything was (which makes our lives easier)! We also had lots of positive comments from the guests on the venue space/catering so a massive thank you to the team behind the scenes.

Dr Matt Morris | UC Sustainability Manager

I wanted to thank you so much for your help and flexibility, please pass on our sincere thanks to the tech team and the catering team for helping to make the event so awesome.

Big thanks to Haere roa for allowing us to host our event there. It was a full circle moment for me, having studied speech and language therapy at UCNZ - I spent many a great night at the Foundry back in the day. Then, to come back and be hosting an event for my brand felt amazing. Ka Pai Haere Roa for being incredibly friendly and supportive of us. Amazing venue.

Kim Grafton | Harewood Hockey Club

Thanks so much for accommodating us. feedback has been excellent for the event. Your team did a brilliant job, and everything was as we had planned and delivered on time without any issues. I have run A LOT of events in my time and I was super impressed how simple you guys made it. And being a not for profit, made up largely of students and young people, I think to have a connection to UCSA was terrific.
