What a fantastic night at the Hawke’s Bay Club for a very special Black Tie Dinner. 🥂✨

The food went out beautifully, the team did an amazing job, and most importantly, we had very happy guests.

Everything came together just as we’d hoped — beautiful food, great presentation, a stunning setting and a brilliant atmosphere.

A bloody good night all round, and one we were very proud to be part of!
