Terrace Venues and Catering

A Complete Event Experience in the Heart of Rotorua

For organisers seeking memorable conference catering, corporate events, weddings and special occasions in Rotorua, Terrace Venues and Catering offers an experienced local solution where food, hospitality, venues and event coordination come together.

Listed by Business Events Industry Aotearoa as a Rotorua service and venue supplier, Terrace Catering was also one of the exhibitors at MEETINGS 2026, connecting with event planners and business events professionals from across New Zealand and beyond.

With more than 26 years of experience, the locally owned business is led by Jo Romanes and has its roots in Rotorua, where its journey began at the historic Blue Baths. That long experience has helped shape a distinctive approach built around thoughtful food, professional service and well-organised events.

Food, Service and Event Expertise

Terrace Catering is much more than a food provider. Its team can assist with menu development, beverages, venue organisation, staffing and event coordination, giving organisers a single experienced team to help bring an event together.

The chefs work with seasonal, sustainable and local New Zealand ingredients, while menus can be tailored to suit different event styles, budgets and dietary requirements. Services range from conference catering and networking functions to weddings, private celebrations and large banquets.

For everyday business requirements, Terrace Catering also provides breakfast selections, morning tea, sandwiches, salads, savouries, shared boxes and lunch boxes, making it suitable for meetings and corporate gatherings of different sizes.
