Event photography and videography at 131 Queen Street

131 Queen Street is one of Auckland's most talked-about event spaces, occupying Level 7 of a meticulously restored 1924 Art Deco building in the heart of the city. With a 4.5-metre stud, original Art Deco detailing, and striking windows that flood the space with natural light, it has become the go-to address for car launches, fashion shows, and high-production brand activations. The 169-square-metre balcony runs along the building's edge and offers expansive views across Queen Street toward the ferry terminal and harbour. Inside, the space carries genuine historical character that no purpose-built venue can replicate. Level 8 adds an industrial concrete counterpoint for back-of-house use. For any event photographer or videographer in Auckland, 131 Queen Street is a rare combination: architectural beauty, ample natural light, and enough visual depth to produce compelling content from any angle. The space is managed by City and Jules.
