Beautiful venue. Amazing sound too. No matter where you sit in this venue you will be treated to an audibly stunning show.
Kia ora, what a great venue. Great show too. Big fan of Teeks! Shame about the bar tonight. Asked for cheese board, got the antipasto, asked to change to the cheese board only to be told that it is the cheese board. Even told them it had no cheese! Doh!
Wonderful experience with M Houston and his Chopin , then NZSO and the Rite of Spring under the baton of Gemma New - spectacular! Lost my submariner beanie but thankfully lost & found had it! Thank you MFC.
One of the best concert halls available in NZ, no matter the entertainment. Easy access and egress. Always huge queues during interval for refreshments. More sales areas would be good. Otherwise a Fab venue.
Nice experience. The building is nice, considering we are in New Zealand, the only con I have is that when we were choosing what concert going to, all of them were quite monotonous...
Great venue place and nice lighting. We had a wonderful experience to attend a graduation ceremony in Micheal Follower Center.
Amazing building... the wood work in the main hall is stunning. Great central location in Wellington. Perfect for large conferences.
Wellingtons concert hall and event location. A modern but great space. Have been to many concerts and events of all kind here. Always something special.
