We work with trusted venues, activity providers, entertainers, caterers, and event suppliers throughout New Zealand to deliver professional, engaging, and memorable experiences for businesses of all sizes.

Corporate Event Planning Made Easy in New Zealand

Organising a successful corporate event takes time, research, and coordination. Finding the right venue, comparing suppliers, managing budgets, and arranging activities can quickly become overwhelming for busy office managers, HR teams, and business owners.

GoBananas simplifies the process by providing access to a wide range of proven corporate event solutions in one place. Our experienced team can help source venues, recommend activities, coordinate suppliers, and create an event that meets your objectives, budget, and company culture.

Whether your goal is to reward staff, improve team morale, celebrate company achievements, entertain clients, or bring remote teams together, we can help create an event that delivers real value.

Team Building Activities That Bring People Together

Strong teams are built on communication, collaboration, trust, and shared experiences. Team-building events provide an opportunity for employees to step away from their everyday work environment and connect with colleagues in a relaxed and enjoyable setting.

At GoBananas, we believe the most effective team-building activities are those that combine engagement with genuine fun. When people are relaxed and enjoying themselves, barriers naturally come down, communication improves, and stronger workplace relationships develop.

We offer a wide range of team-building activities throughout New Zealand, including:

• Amazing Race challenges
• Corporate scavenger hunts
• Adventure and outdoor activities
• Clay bird shooting
• High ropes and adventure courses
• Escape room experiences
• Cooking challenges
• Boat cruises and sailing events
• Quiz nights and interactive games
• Murder mystery nights with multiple themes to pick from
• Biking event 
• Hiking trips 

Whether you have a team of 10 or 1,000 employees, we can recommend activities that suit your goals, location, and budget.

Christmas Parties & End-of-Year Functions

A well-planned Christmas party is more than just a social event. It is an opportunity to recognise staff achievements, reward hard work, strengthen workplace culture, and celebrate the year’s successes.

GoBananas offers a huge range of Christmas party ideas throughout New Zealand, from casual daytime events to elegant evening functions. We can organise everything from venues and catering to entertainment and activities, helping you create an event that your team will genuinely look forward to attending. 

At GoBananas, we believe the most successful Christmas parties are built around experiences, not just drinks. A fun activity combined with great food, entertainment, and time spent together creates lasting memories, strengthens team relationships, and makes better use of your company event budget.
