Who
we are

Collective has been one of NZ’s leading catering companies since we launched in 2003.

We’re the preferred catering partner in Auckland’s premium venues and we specialise in conferences, gala dinners and large events. We also operate Orakei Bay, our own wedding and event venue.

At Collective everything we do is guided by the principles of manaakitanga. This Māori concept is based on generosity and treating our guests, suppliers, land and each other with kindness and respect.

By following these principles, we offer our clients a distinctively New Zealand approach to hospitality.
