The Aurora Lounge offers a flexible, blank canvas that can be tailored to suit your event.
You’re welcome to organise everything yourself, or work with trusted local suppliers who know the venue well and can help bring your event together seamlessly.
Catering & Tailored Events
Nourish Catering, led by Chanté Whitehouse, is based on-site at the Aurora Lounge.
Known for fresh, seasonal and beautifully presented food, the team can tailor menus to suit your event — from relaxed gatherings through to weddings and corporate functions.
For a more seamless experience, Nourish can also offer a fully tailored, ‘walk in, walk out’ event, coordinating everything from styling and staffing through to set-up and pack-down.
Event Styling & Equipment Hire
For styling and equipment hire, we recommend working with trusted local suppliers who are familiar with the venue.
Got It Covered can assist with everything from table linen and chair covers through to lighting, props, and full event styling.
Either contact them directly, or Chanté and the Nourish team can coordinate with them.
Bar Service & Event Management
As an unlicensed venue, the Aurora Lounge allows flexibility with BYO drinks for private functions.
If you’d prefer a fully managed bar service, local providers can assist with licensing, staffing, and set-up.
Nelson Venues & Events are highly experienced at the venue and can manage all aspects of bar service and event coordination.
Photography
The Aurora Lounge provide a beautiful waterfront backdrop for photography, with a range of nearby locations that capture the character of Nelson.
For example, catching The Nelson Ferry across to the iconic Boulder Bank Lighthouse like this shot from Ray Salisbury of Moving Moments.
We are happy to recommend local photographers who are familiar with the venue and surrounding area.
Audio & Visual Hire
A Basic AV package is available, including a projector, screen, microphone and speaker.
For larger or more technical setups, we can connect you with local AV specialists.
