A draw card for visitors from all over the world, Omaka’s colourful and dramatic atmosphere serves as an extraordinary and exclusive setting for evening functions. Showcased in exciting displays, aircraft such as Mosquito, P-40 and Stuka guarantee a night to remember, as will the delicious wine and food Marlborough is famous for.

Host your event in a choice of two venues. The Knights of the Sky exhibition and reception area can accommodate cocktail functions for up to 200 guests while Dangerous Skies can host up to 320 guests for cocktails or seated dining.‍

After our conference we surveyed our delegates asking them what their highlight was from the whole conference. The response from the vast majority was unsurprisingly 'the dinner at Omaka'.

At the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre, we are proud to partner with Feast Merchants, a boutique catering company led by husband-and-wife team, Rory and Fran King. Known for their creativity and passion, they transform every occasion into an unforgettable dining experience.

From intimate dinner experiences to large-scale corporate functions, Feast Merchants craft menus that reflect the spirit of each event. Their inspiration comes from world travels, cultural influences, and a deep appreciation for fresh, locally sourced ingredients. This ensures every dish is not only delicious but also supports local producers.

With years of experience in some of New Zealand’s top restaurants, Rory and Fran bring a personal, professional touch to every menu they design. Their goal is simple: to create food that your guests will remember long after the event has ended.
