Testimonials
We had the privilege of hosting our inaugural New Zealand Educating Girls Symposium at Westlake Girls High School’s Event Centre, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. The professionalism and can-do attitude of the staff truly stood out. They were incredibly accommodating, ensuring every detail was meticulously planned and executed, which allowed our team to arrive stress-free on the day.
The AV services were impressive, with flawless technical support for our 30-plus presenters. The high-quality production values were key to the success of our event and Dan and his knowledgeable team provided a polished and professional experience for both presenters and attendees.
If you’re looking for a venue with top-tier service, modern technology, and a team that goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Westlake Girls High School’s Event Centre.

We have enjoyed an excellent longstanding relationship with Westlake Girls High School and hire the Event Centre several times a year for our large citizenship ceremonies. This facility is a superb venue with high-end technology, and we receive a huge amount of positive feedback for these events. We recommend the team at Westlake for supporting our ceremonies and their attention to detail.
Auckland Council – Citizenship Ceremonies
We have used WGHS Event Centre for three years for our National Dance Challenge Competition. They have been exceptional in their communication, logistics and technical support allowing us to facilitate a large scale event involving many happy dancers and spectators.
National Dance Challenge
We were delighted to be offered the WGHS auditorium for our whole school production. Being on a Friday night for two consecutive weeks meant that we were able to have two separate performances which then accommodated all of our students. Communication has been easy. We have appreciated the superb facilities and the space to get a large group of students ready backstage. Using the WGHS venue has lifted our school production to another level and given so many more people in our community the opportunity to view it.
Sunnybrae School
The hiring process for the WGHS Event Centre was smooth and efficient, with excellent technical support that greatly enhanced our Dragon Boat and Lantern festivals.
