NZ Golden Palace was founded in 2015 with a single vision: to create a space where New Zealand's South Asian community — and everyone who loves our culture — could gather, celebrate, and make memories that last a lifetime. What started as a family-run banquet hall has grown into Auckland's most sought-after celebration venue.

Nestled in the heart of Auckland, our venue spans over 2,000 square metres of beautifully appointed indoor and outdoor spaces. From the moment you step through our doors, you're welcomed by warm hospitality, impeccable service, and an atmosphere that effortlessly blends elegance with heart.

Every event at NZ Golden Palace is built on a foundation of trust, collaboration, and meticulous attention to detail. We don't just host events — we partner with you to bring your vision to life, whether it's an intimate wedding reception, a grand milestone celebration, or a corporate gala that demands the very best.

We hosted our sangeet and reception here and it was flawless. The in-house catering team crafted a menu that pleased everyone — from our Jain grandparents to our foodie cousins. The lighting transformed the hall into something straight out of a Bollywood film.
