MARIKA VENTER - NZ NEiTA Administrator (MAY 2012)... “Thank you for accommodating us for our event at the Wharewaka. The teachers enjoyed the experience, the platters were awesome and the Chairman of the NEiTA Foundation (Terry O'Connell) was very pleased with the meal and service.”
JEFF GROENEWALD (APRIL 2012... Hi Paul and Keri, I wanted to thank you for a fantastic event on Saturday night. The venue was presented expertly, the staff on the night were great, in particular Vik. Nothing was a problem for him and whatever we asked for or needed was provided with pleasure. Having been in the hospitality game for many years, and our Regional Manager being an ex chef, we appreciate what goes into making these night happen. The food was exceptional and was very highly regarded by all who attended. Thank you again very much for contributing so significantly to making our event a success!
DALE WILLIAMS (April 2012)... Wharewaka, disabled people thank you. Credit where it is due. Went to a function last night at the stunning new Wharewaka on the Wellington waterfront. By contacting the manager, emailing them in advance and phoning them on arrival, we arranged for them to lower the electronic bollards on the Taranaki Street wharf gate to allow my own car, and also the car of a wheelchair-using friend, to come and park right next to the venue. They really went the extra mile for us.[We are both mobility card holders, and I get around on crutches]. Keri Retimanu of KPR Catering, you are a star! (And your food is very tasty, too.) People with mobility issues, and mobility cardholders, we wholeheartedly recommend this beautiful venue because of the consideration it shows to those of us in need.
TANIYA | Massey University (March 2012) “The venue and dinner was absolutely amazing. I don't think I have enjoyed a meal like that if ever, so please pass on our thanks and appreciation to the cooks. Will definitely recommend this place to fellow colleagues hosting events in Wellington.”
KIM HAUMAHA | TPK (March 2012) Leah thank you very much for your wonderful, professional guidance today for our hui. Nothing was a bother for you and your staff. Please pass on my gratitude to the 2 young ladies who helped today. We have had nothing but praise for your staff, venue and the food provided.
Wedding at Te Ruakura Te Wharewaka | Private Booking (MAR 2012).... Many thanks for your contribution (Red Pebble Team) to Kate and Arran's occasion on Saturday. While the weather wasn't perfect the venue was - our guests were unanimously complimentary about the church, reception venue and decor. We thought that KPR excelled in their service, food, bar and all round, and the band was great. Kelly, special thanks for your management and overview on the day
KAREN MCCALL | Millar & Miller Limited (FEBRUARY 2012)..... I just want to pass on our thanks to you and your team from myself and our directors for helping us to host our function on 22nd. We really enjoyed the venue and thought that the service from yourself and Tai, and his team was excellent. Tai was great to deal with and the team on the service were excellent. We thought the canapés were excellent, and they were very popular with our guests, so please pass on our thanks and compliments to the chef & team. Our guests were also very impressed with the venue, and being local business people themselves, were very interested in it for their own future events. I have passed on your information already to others who have asked for it. All in all it was a great experience to have our function at te Wharewaka and would highly recommend it to all. So well done and all the best for the future.
