Event photography and videography at The Glass Goose

The Glass Goose is one of Auckland's most distinctive hidden venues, a rooftop bar and eatery accessed via a staircase off Federal Street in the CBD. Styled like a garden glasshouse and perched above the city laneways, it combines an unexpected outdoor rooftop environment with a setting that genuinely surprises first-time guests. The venue accommodates large groups and can be hired for corporate functions, product launches, birthday celebrations, and private parties. The private bar Baxter's, tucked within the venue, allows for fully self-contained private events with a dedicated bar service. There are no hire fees, making it accessible for a range of event types and budgets. For event photography in Auckland's CBD, The Glass Goose offers something genuinely different. The laneway access, rooftop setting, and glasshouse styling create visually interesting frames that stand out against more conventional venue photography. It's especially good for editorial and lifestyle-led event coverage.
