Mantells

Like most folks in auckland it have heard of Mantells for some many years now but never really had an occasion … That was until we had the opportunity to photograph a wedding that was held here.
The wedding itself was just simply fabulous. The bride and groom and family and guests were fantastic and really made the day.
Being part of the «service» folks we got to see first hand all the things that happened in the background. The staff at Mantells worked tirelessly to ensure that the event went as slick as possible.
The kitchen was running implacably and kept churning out fantastic dish after dish! The waiters and front staff were smooth and paid attention to all the details. The venue itself was well kept, groomed, and had this air of magnificence!
I can go on and on about this place and how wonderful it is … The 5 stars is truly well earned!

I’ve been hearing about this spot for years so when I attended a wedding at Mantells recently I was all curiosity and was not disappointed in the slightest. Tucked behind the old post building on Mt. Eden Road this intimate function venue is all class — you actually feel as though you’re at a beautiful private residence somewhere in France. Wedding ceremonies can take place in either the courtyard or the indoor lounge and dining room areas. If the weather permits it the courtyard area with its amazing stonework and pillars and outdoor fireplace is probably the pick of the spot. The food was amazing and the service very, um, effiecient, no mucking around on eating your meals or they were gone before you knew it! I’m personally not a fan of pork-​belly but I heard more than half the guests palpitating over it. A really stunning place.
