Theater in Auckland

“Its only taken me over a year to get this review for Amber and Jared, Sorry guys !! I wanted to write something that truly shows how much you both meant to Todd and I on our day. When I was looking for a photographer I wanted a team to support us as I know how much goes into a wedding, I wanted real, raw and beautiful photos and video. I knew that Amber and Jared were who I needed in my life ! They brought their A game and gave us memories that to this day still fill my heart and reduce me to tears. They were like a couple of warriors running around with a ninja like expertise and stealth I hardly new they were there, but I always knew they had our backs. Our photos are priceless, captured with so much heart and talent Our video is beyond what I could imagine and Jared just got who we are perfectly. Thankyou with all the feels, all the heart and all love. You guys are truly the best. xx”

“I can recommend Backyard Flicks. They were so helpful in catering for our needs, which was a Youth Group for upto 30 young people. We took the full package out. The screen and the sound were awesome and then we had the comfy bean bags and cushions. We had so many people comment on what a lovely evening it was. You don't need to look any further than Backyard Flicks for your Movie evening.”

“Eliette's is a great music school. Wonderful people, energy and teaching. It exceeded my expectations by a long way. Definitely recommended.”

“Laura and Rohan are absolutely fantastic! Having them capture our special day was one of the best decisions we made. They were both incredibly professional, organized, and clear in their communication. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and managed to capture everything—and more—on our big day. We’ve only seen the sneak peek so far, and WOW! We cannot wait to see the rest of the images. From start to finish, the entire process with Laura and Rohan has been absolutely seamless. Even our guests commented on how wonderful they were. Thank you, Laura and Rohan, for not only capturing our day but making it even more amazing!”

“Ash and his team are extremely committed and passionate to bring to life the essence of the occasion. As Co-owner of Allely Estate we not only get to witness their handiwork but we hear from clients their satisfaction of the service and outcome. We also have Ash photograph some of on in house events and they capture every angle and moment without being invasive. We would recommend them, their professionalism and the quality of their work. [Photos of a recent in-house event by Ash and his team].”

“A fun place for watching quirky local shows or established artists "slumming it" for intimate gigs. There's usually a great selection of wines and beers on offer and the programme shifts often enough to keep you coming back.”

“I have just started on the group classes under Kacie Stetson on a weekly basis. After studying under different teachers I have at last found training that involves great tools to use. Kacie is an amazing teacher! she kicks your arse but her tough love is what gets the goods...you can trust Kacie to guide you on your journey of development. She brings her fabulicious energy and passion to her teaching! Highly recommended.”

“I used Craig's team to install a new Smart Frame TV and move an old Smart Frame into my library and set it up so it worked wire free. His team were on time, thorough, professional and tidy. They did an excellent job and I would absolutely recommend them to everyone. Thank you Smart Installations for a great job.”

“Special ordered a Wharfedale Diamond 12 series setup. Excellent turn around and service. Couldn't get surrounds, upgraded to the next model for the same price. Great service.”

“I'm Evelyn and I've had the utter delight and privilege of taking Levels One and Two with Juliet Furness this year, and I could not be more grateful. Her approach to teaching the art of acting is unique, insightful, surprising, playful and effective. The classes are more like master classes in what it means to be an authentic human being. I have felt empowered, invigorated and inspired by her classes. She makes everyone feel valued and included. She is enthusiastic, frank, generous and fully present with us. I felt quite bereft at the end of each term... missing my weekly fix of community, of risk taking, of growing as a human being and of feeling safe as well as challenged. I have signed up for Level Three now and I may well go back and do all three levels again next year. They each offer different gifts that complement each other, and some refreshingly different adjustments. Juliet's classes sneak up on you in the way they enhance your acting skills..... i am reminded of working with an Alexander technique body worker, who suggested that in my goal to achieve a straighter back and a more open ribcage I should forget about pulling my shoulders back and forcing myself into a more upright and military type posture because all this would achieve would be more muscular tension elsewhere. Instead she suggested i imagine a 'clavicle smile'.....simply imagining a friendly smile across my collar bone and this transformed my walk and my posture and Juliet achieves similar transformations that happen simply because one learns to get out of one's own way, allowing change to blossom naturally from within! So i think that summarises what Juliet's classes teach..... to trust one's own humanity. Rather than trying to impose some technique onto oneself.”

“OMG! We just finished watching the most amazing improv show ever with Paul and his incredible team of actors! Wow — thank you so much for making our evening soooo funny! You guys absolutely rocked it — we laughed so much my cheeks are still frozen from smiling and laughing! If you haven’t seen them yet, seriously, go check out one of their classes or shows — it’s pure joy, energy, and laughter from start to finish! We loooved it sooooooo much !”

“Beautiful venue and great service. An asset to the dance community.”

“What an experience! Took my girlies to their first drag show and it was incredible. Everything from the gorgeous girls, ambience, food and many laughs were just brilliant. You get to keep the souvenir cups which is a cute memory. Food tasted so homey and just what we needed before continuing the night. Bar Manager and Bartender pushed drinks out the whole time and did an awesome job. Not only the girls performances were so fun and enjoyable to watch but their service throughout the whole night were so attentive and glamorous. Met some incredible people and would highlyyyyy recommend anyone to book for either an occasion or just to try something with friends.”

“Booked this for my daughter’s birthday. It was amazing! Kids had so much fun and staff were very friendly and accommodating! Highly recommend”

“Wonderful Community Theatre inSouth South Auckland. A strong team of dedicated Theatre Lovers producing great shows that are full of fun. They are Super welcoming and friendly and make you feel part of the family.”

“Great theatre. Warm and friendly staff. 'Are you being served' was a wonderful show, a real laugh.”

“Friendly atmosphere. Excellent show. Starts slow then quickly builds into hilarious mayham.”

“What a great and beautiful theatre the Civic is. It has so many spaces, and walking inside feels like being in a movie. It was also used by Peter Jackson to film King Kong, and today it hosts international shows. The place is very well kept, with respect for the time when it was built. The hall with its starry sky. The bronze. Everything always shining. Very recommended to visit.”

“Great show thoroughly enjoyed by all of our group”

“The nostalgic memories of my childhood nice comfy sofas instead of boring movie chairs”

“Great company, great people, great software”

“We went to the Billy Joel show on Saturday evening. It was absolutely superb - the quality of the musicians and singers far exceeded our expectations. The added bonus of a "supper" was a treat. This group should tour the country and beyond with this show. Great energy.”

“Was Girls and Boys worth getting stuck in hour long traffic - absolutely. Simplistic yet effective staging and lighting were transformative and poignant. The dialogue sharp and witty with the lead actress blazing through a series of difficult emotions and heavy themes with flexibility and tastefulness. I'm not normally one for a one woman show - but what a show it was!”

“My 9-year-old daughter thoroughly enjoyed the Drawing & Sketching class (Tue 3:45-5:15) with Maree. Learning to depict objects with pencil sketching added a technical dimension to her artistic skills. It was a great class for a 9-year-old who loves drawing, providing more advanced content rather than simplistic children's drawings. This class is highly recommended for kids who love drawing and want to boost their skills.”

“Great theatre. Good play and d acting. Very comfortable”

“Lovely intimate theatre. The quality of the play I saw there (Grand Horizons) was fantastic. The set design was incredible and the acting was practically professional level. The price of the ticket was very reasonable, and there is a bar that you can buy drinks and snacks from. A great night out, would highly recommend.”

“Vivi skin clinic is amazing. Vanessa knows her stuff, is kimd and super professional and her room is inviting relaxing and has the most wonderful view”

“A modern French experience at an affordable price. Choose between the chef’s selection or al a carte off the menu. My companion and I went with the latter option and it was perfect! The service was exceptional. Only suggestion for the future if management can consider implementing is acting in the comments on the booking. I had advised this was for a special occasion but it wasn’t acknowledged. Nevertheless, this was a fabulous dining experience.”

“Great ice creams and excellent coffee in a real china cup. Didn't try the Afghan biscuit but it was only $4 and huge. Great ambience.”
