Holy Trinity Cathedral — Attraction in Waitematā

An experience that can only be described as magical!!! The concert took place at the Holy Trinity Cathedral, Auckland. It started on time (6:30pm) and was really well organized - there were assistants to guide us to our seats and we didn't wait long before the concert began.

The cathedral was beautifully decorated with battery operated candles, laid out on the main stage and at the start of each row of seats. This definitely added a warm touch to the cathedral which has beautifully stained glass and high ceilings with stunning architecture!

The concert was led by the Kulios, and was a tribute to Coldplay and Imagine Dragons.. each artist had us entranced by their talent and the instruments which they played beautifully!

The audience was advised before the start of the concert, that all mobile devices were to be placed on silent, and that photos and videos will only be allowed when the last song is played. The audience definitely abided by this request and it was great to see the assistants keeping an eye out just in case any mobile devices were in use.

The lead artist notified us of when the last song was going to be played, and it was at this point that all devices were out and in full use 😄

Once the concert ended, the audience were allowed to take photos and videos of the main stage and we certainly had a ball doing so! 🥹

I've rated the overall experience a 4/5: This is because the concert took place at a time when there was still light outdoors - the candles and it's ambience could not be fully experienced and immersed in, as daylight was shining through the cathedral doors which were all transparent glass.

This was the only downside - I wish the concert could have been at a time when the sun was completely down, therefore the cathedral would have been dark enough to fully see the candles and experience it's ambience. Other than this, it was a great first time experience which I would highly recommend to others, just bearing in mind that the candles may not be fully experienced due to venue lighting and the time of your...

Do not get married here. I repeat! Do not get married here. Anne the Dean is useless. Firstly during the wedding, my wife was going to walk down the aisle when her que was to (when the right part of the song was playing) and Anne knew this, but instead thought that she should tell me and all the guests that my wife is feeling nervous and is crying and feeling upset. I found out later thats not true at all! She was just waiting for her que to walk down the aisle! Secondly, she didn't mention need an extra $500 for the dean’s “fee” which wasnt on the contract details and made me go get physcial cash the day after the wedding?! Also she said that after the wedding she will sort out getting the marriage certificate sent to us. Its been 2 months, so I sent her an email saying we didnt recieved this. She said she will look into it. Now she forwards me and email from Births, deaths and marriages emailing Anne saying that we have to request the marriage certificate. And Anne then said to us in an email “Thats a first”. (She has married alot and alot of...

I had spent a lovely 3 week holiday in Auckland before discovering this wonderful cathedral on the very day of my departure for home in the UK ( Sunday 4th December ) I thoroughly enjoyed the early 8am communion service and the considerable beauty of the interior. I couldn't help smiling at the fact it was dedicated to both St Patrick and St Joseph ( The Irish ex - pats probably refer to it as Paddy and Joe"s cathedral church ) . The atmosphere was lovely and set me up for a day's worth of calm reflection before catching a plane home that evening at 21.15.

Thank...
