Event photography and videography at Ellerslie Event Centre

Ellerslie Event Centre is set on the grounds of New Zealand's most iconic racecourse, about 10 minutes from the Auckland CBD in Ellerslie. With 22 function rooms, extensive outdoor space, and the heritage character of the racecourse as a backdrop, it offers a combination of scale, character, and accessibility that few competing venues in Auckland can match. The venue caters for events from intimate meetings of a dozen people through to expos and outdoor events of several thousand. The restored Tote on Ascot room, with its open beams dating to 1885, is a particularly memorable setting for gala dinners and high-profile conferences. Extensive free parking makes it one of the most logistically straightforward large venues in the city. For corporate event photographers and videographers in Auckland, Ellerslie's variety is a strength. The racecourse grounds, the heritage rooms, the modern function spaces, and the outdoor areas all provide distinct visual contexts across the same event day. It's a venue where covering a full conference or gala gives photographers and event videographers genuinely diverse material to work with.
