60 | Public Trust Hall COMMUNITY “We can have one lighting set up for the ceremony, and change it again afterwards when the guests sit down for a meal and switch it up again for the dance floor to create a nightclub feel.” Quality lighting & AV at iconic venue Advanced LED lighting means colours can be readily deployed to set a theme or to complement business branding. T T Kim Newth Wellington’s Lambton Quay is home to one of New Zealand’s finest venues, the Public Trust Hall. Here, elegant Edwardian Baroque architecture and state-ofthe-art technology combine to create a unique venue of choice for a range of corporate and social functions and events. Situated in the Public Trust Building, 1908, this splendid space has been transformed into a beautiful heritage venue. The bustle of the city gives way to a calm and serene ambience inside the hall, providing a memorable function space for up to 300. Venue manager Kristelle Plimmer says builtin premium audio-visual and lighting systems, plus on-site technical support are real drawcards for the Public Trust Hall. “You’re not having to pack in your own gear and that saves a lot of time and money. Plus, it means you won’t see ugly black boxes set up everywhere. Our speakers and light fittings are white, not black, so they blend in with the beautiful architecture. It’s all completely seamless. Everything is already here – you just turn it on and it goes.” The Public Trust Hall is equipped with smart LED lighting and a large LED screen. Conference goers can expect to see sharp imagery in presentations and won’t be left sitting in the dark. “We can have the curtains open as well to enhance the space even more.” Advanced LED lighting means colours can be readily deployed to set a theme or to complement business branding. Kristelle says colours can be customised to change in step with a special event like a wedding. “We can have one lighting set up for the ceremony, and change it again afterwards when the guests sit down for a meal and switch it up again for the dance floor to create a nightclub feel. The lighting system is very versatile: we can create the feel of different spaces without having to do anything except push buttons on an iPad. It really enhances the experience. If you need special lighting, we can make it happen.” As well as weddings, the Public Trust Hall is a popular venue for conferences, presentations, awards nights, cocktail functions, formal dinners, book launches and more. With excellent acoustic design, the Public Trust Hall has hosted many classical music concerts. This venue is also fully accessible and has previously worked closely with Whaikaha - Ministry of Disabled People. “It is also worth noting that we are fully earthquake strengthened to 90 per cent of the new build standard. We always tell people you’d be safer inside than out in the event of an earthquake.” Downstairs from the main Hall is the 1908 Room. With a capacity of up to 50 and wellequipped with all that’s required, it is perfect for smaller meetings, training days, community functions and can be used as a Green Room for the hall.
