Stage lighting rig glowing in a dark venue

The crew behind the nights

We're an Auckland production company that believes a party should be built with the same care as a stage show — because it is one.

Our story

From one garage disco to fifty-seven productions

Night of Events started in 2021 with thirty friends, a rented smoke machine and a garage in Mount Eden dressed as a 1984 discotheque. The plan was one party. The group chat had other ideas.

Five years later we've produced fifty-seven events for more than eighteen thousand guests: italo disco nights in wharf sheds, Berlin-style warehouse sessions, rooftop sundowners, dress-up balls with live musicians — and, on the other side of the house, elegant casino-themed evenings for corporate and private clients, run with symbolic scoring and zero real-money play.

The thing that hasn't changed: we build nights we'd want to attend. Every queue, every playlist minute, every light cue gets designed. If a detail would annoy us as guests, it doesn't ship.

Milestones

Five years, briefly

2021

Thirty friends, one garage, one smoke machine. The first disco happens; the neighbours ask for invites instead of complaining.

2022

First public venue. The parties go seasonal, the first dress-up ball runs on a shoestring, and the crew grows to five.

2023

Night of Events Ltd is registered. A client asks if we can "do something elegant for a company party" — the first casino-themed evening is produced, symbolic scoring and all.

2024

Neon Berlin debuts and sells out in nine days. Venue partnerships hit double digits; the lighting rig stops fitting in one van.

2025

Ten thousandth guest walks through the doors at the Winter Lights Ball. The team-building casino format becomes our most requested corporate product.

2026

Season five: six parties on the calendar, fourteen partner venues, and Cherry Lady Night on track to be the biggest yet.

The people

Core crew

Four full-timers, plus a trained pool of hosts, technicians and door staff who scale each production up to size.

Tama Ngata

Founder · Event Director

Threw the garage disco, still writes every event timeline personally. Owns more sequinned jackets than is strictly legal.

RC

Ruby Calloway

Production Lead

Sound, lighting, staging and the load-in schedule. If a night looks effortless, that's Ruby's fingerprints on it.

JW

Jordan Whitfield

Music Director

Books the selectors, edits the live arrangements and guards the no-wedding-playlist rule with their life. Vinyl first, always.

How we work

Three rules we don't break

1
The dance floor comes first. Fair ticket prices, open door policies and a room designed around the guests — not the sponsors.
People over polish
2
Entertainment only. Our casino-themed evenings run on symbolic scoring with no real-money play — elegant fun where only the leaderboard is on the line.
Nothing to lose, literally
3
Every night unique. No copy-paste formats: each production gets its own concept, soundtrack and staging, built from the brief up.
Design over default
Empty venue hall waiting for doors to open
