Function Venues in the Wairarapa

The Wairarapa is over the Remutaka hill from Wellington, which is exactly why it is treated as its own region here — a Wellington business is a ninety-minute drive away, not a local one. Say the town and NovaPay asks the businesses that are.

WHERE THIS COVERS

Wairarapa, town by town

Masterton
Carterton
Greytown
Martinborough
Featherston
Say the town in your request. NovaPay asks businesses working near it first rather than the whole region, so the quotes you get back are from people who will actually come.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Do Wellington businesses come over the hill?
Some will for a big job and few will for a small one — the Remutaka road is the reason. NovaPay treats the Wairarapa as its own area rather than assuming a Wellington business covers it, so you are asking people who actually work there.
What is a minimum spend?
Most venues hold a room against a dollar figure rather than a hire fee, so you commit to spending it whether or not you do. Ask for it in writing along with what counts towards it.
How far ahead should I book?
For November and December, months. Venues fill for work functions well before people start organising them. Any other time of year, a few weeks is usually enough.
Can we have the place to ourselves?
Exclusive hire is usually possible and usually costs more than a reserved area. Say which you want, because a quote for one is not a quote for the other.
What about dietary requirements?
Give numbers rather than a note on the night. Say the requirements in your request and the set menus that come back will already work for everyone.
