Our events
Start with the occasion, then choose a theme and a pace that suit the group. Explore our event directions for gatherings across New Zealand.
Help me choose
Each theme is a starting point for the room, the programme and the way guests take part. We organise groups of up to 50 and programmes of up to eight hours, with the actual duration and inclusions set out in your proposal.
Choose the direction that feels closest, or combine compatible elements into one considered running order. The price links explain the relevant starting scope; they do not mean every theme costs the same.
20 event themes shown
01 / A classic room with a social heart
Roulette-style tables, oversized playing-card details, decorative dice and a red-and-black palette establish the setting. Welcoming croupiers explain the activities and help guests join at their own pace. Choose a compact hosted session or place it within a longer dinner and celebration programme.
Explore the format02 / Give recognition a clear moment
A red-carpet premiere direction uses gold accents, stage lighting and a branded photo backdrop. We plan the arrival experience, presentation sequence and handover to the social part of the evening, with the award order and speaker requirements agreed before the day.
Explore the format03 / Take the conversation outdoors
Expedition-style challenge stations, team flags, treasure maps and rustic signage create a shared route to work through. The activities, terrain and pace are selected for the group, with alternative roles and a practical weather plan discussed before the site is confirmed.
Explore the format04 / Let a story unfold around the table
Art Deco references, antique-style props and character place cards give a dinner its detective setting. The host guides the story through clue rounds and a reveal, with food service and participation levels built into the programme so guests can enjoy the meal as well as the mystery.
Explore the format05 / A little television-show energy
Colourful team tables, a clear digital scoreboard and optional illuminated podiums set the tone. Standard rounds offer a straightforward starting point; company-specific questions, additional AV and a more elaborate set can be agreed as additions to the hosted quiz.
Explore the format06 / Bring the cause into the room
A night-under-the-stars treatment uses fairy lighting, silver centrepieces and displays explaining the cause. We plan the occasion and its transitions, while any fundraising arrangements need their own clearly agreed responsibilities, suitable review and separation from the entertainment programme.
Explore the format07 / Give the product a useful spotlight
Interactive displays, branded installations and focused LED lighting support a future-facing launch. The plan covers how guests encounter the product, when the reveal happens and what demonstration requirements must be coordinated with your team and the venue.
Explore the format08 / Tell the story through the years
Supplied photographs, milestone displays and company-colour details can turn a room into a timeline. We allow space for recognition and personal stories, then shape the social programme around the occasion rather than making every moment a presentation.
Explore the format09 / A Kiwi festive gathering
Coastal backdrops, red florals and seasonal decorations give the occasion a summer character. Choose an indoor social or a garden setting, with shade, seating, food service and a weather alternative considered alongside the décor and hosted activities.
Explore the format10 / A garden-carnival layout
Bunting, lawn games, picnic areas and children’s activity stations can shape the wider brief. Children’s stations and supervision are separately agreed with suitable providers and the organiser; Copper Meeple’s own hosted programme follows its 20+ policy. Discuss the age mix and responsibilities before booking.
Explore the format11 / Dress the room for an occasion
Ornate masks, velvet draping, decorative mirrors and gold table settings create an enchanted-palace direction. We balance the visual treatment with practical seating, circulation and presentation space, then set the pace around dinner, conversation and any agreed entertainment.
Explore the format12 / A mission for small teams
Coded briefcases, mission boards, hidden clues and puzzle stations give guests a shared task. A facilitator guides the session and supports different ways to contribute, from spotting patterns to recording information. A suitable room and a clear reset plan keep the activity moving.
Explore the format13 / Give ideas room to land
Contemporary stage design, branded breakout spaces and an interactive idea wall can support a compact conference. We plan sightlines, presentation cues, discussion windows and breaks, with AV equipment and technical operation clearly identified in the scope.
Explore the format14 / Make time to pause
Greenery, natural textures, soft lighting and comfortable relaxation areas create a nature-and-balance setting. The programme can make room for rest and gentle connection. Any specialist wellness session is separately agreed with an appropriate provider, with no treatment or health outcome promised.
Explore the format15 / Make something together
Communal tables, colourful materials and personalised crafting stations establish a makers’ studio. We discuss what guests will make, how much instruction they need and what materials are included. The layout should let people work comfortably and share the experience as they go.
Explore the format16 / A small world of flavours
Market-style stalls, travel-inspired signage and colourful canopies bring a festival feeling to a private gathering of up to 50. Vendor selection, menus, power, waste and service timing require their own plan; food and vendor fees are separately agreed.
Explore the format17 / A workplace champions occasion
Team-colour banners, marked activity zones and a podium-style photo station frame a friendly day. We discuss suitable activities, different participation roles, breaks and site conditions. Specialist sports equipment or instruction is included only when specifically agreed.
Explore the format18 / Let the evening settle into a film
A screen, beanbags, picnic rugs and festoon lighting can create a cinema-under-the-stars setting. We plan viewing conditions, sound and safe movement after dark, with film rights, weather arrangements and any extra power or seating identified before commitment.
Explore the format19 / A relaxed Kiwi garden welcome
Native greenery, botanical photo backdrops and lounge seating make space for conversation. A light hosted activity can give guests an easy starting point, while the programme leaves time for your team to connect with clients in smaller, more natural groups.
Explore the format20 / Give a practical activity a purpose
Reusable signage, recycled-material installations, planting stations and educational displays support a greener-tomorrow direction. The brief identifies the actual materials, work and follow-up care. Any environmental statement should describe what is being done and avoid unmeasured promises.
