Good morning Everyone!
Hope all enjoyed the long weekend and are staying safe 😊
Even though its been a while, we thought it’s appropriate to give a final update on what had happened previously since it was handled publicly on social media, and to also give clarifications to our customers who have come across our post.
Without going into finer details: On the 29th January we made an arrangement, an amount was offered as a compensation and was accepted, a legal document was signed and that the amount given will settle the whole dispute, both sides agreed and was satisfied with the outcome.
The other party who made the allegations still refused to meet or speak directly to us but preferred being on social media, we were prepared and waited for further actions but none was taken.
We know this was settled a while ago and we could have given an update straight away but after the meeting we decided to leave the post the way it is.
We left it because we were at peace with the outcome- despite what has been said and what people believe, not everything on social media is true, as the faasamoa saying goes “Ua nao le Atua e iloa le tala mo’i”.
We want to give a big thank you to everyone who genuinely reached out to us, sent encouraging messages, gave us advice and helped us through that tough time. Also to those who were willing to resolve this issue in a proper manner, thank you.
It wasn’t easy but all glory to God for His grace that we stayed humbled and move forward. It will strengthen us, we will learn from this experience and do much better in the future.
Many blessings and prayers for the rest of the year!
Love from
Reliance Polynesian Catering Family
Hello Barbara,
Thank you for your review and feedback.
We weren't able to comment directly on your post so we will reply and share here on our page publicly.
First we would like to deeply apologize for how you feel with our service at your nieces wedding.
We understand greatly the importance of food especially at weddings and funerals for our island community, it's why we alway meet face to face with our clients and discuss all details.
Which in this case we did, Menorah and Alo had a lovely meeting with both parents from each side of the bride and groom-
With all do respect any business always has its lows, we always believe customers feedback is alway right, we accept our mistakes, know how to put our head down and learn.
But accepting our mistakes doesn't mean we were always in the wrong- there are always two sides to every situation so I'm going to humbly address some of the pointers you have advised-
No plates: It is normal protocol for any catering business to provide its own plates, it's common sense. But during our meeting with the parents they said and confirmed they have already paid the decor team to provide the plates, cutleries and glassware so we don’t require to provide them.
Not enough drinks: We made it clear to the parents the drinks we provide are ONLY for the food when it's served, not for the whole reception service from beginning to end.
The day was really hot and the reception did start late so many people came ask for drinks but we only came prepared for the number of guests plus extras for the cater itself.
Not enough food: You are right the family did pay for 350 people and it did cost 14k.
We can agree to disagree on this one- I can thoroughly explain and give more reasons what you have stated is incorrect but we prefer discussing further with the parents. We always over prepare our food and we definitely had enough to feed 400 people but we all agreed with the parents there wasn't enough food at the end as we all saw the numbers looked as if there were more than what was expected. Both parents agreed.
Now of course your going to disagree but we not making this reply or post to resolve this matter or argue back to you as we never met nor do we have to explain ourselves to you, this is something we are open to discussion with the parents whom we organised this with and they have the right information.
Like yourself we also have a list to defend ourselves and prove our rights, we have many who can testify and also agree on our end but this post is not about that- which leads me to clearly state this;
It's been over 24 hours since the event and we have not heard back from any parents. The last time we had contact was before we left- they apologised for the misunderstanding, especially Fatima who was quick at giving us a hug and kiss, we left in good terms because all errors that occurred were all covered in the meeting prior to the wedding.
They never mention anything about a refund or being compensated so we don't need to call them. And because no such thing has been mentioned we have not made a statement to say that we will not give back money - we are happy and open to any discussion, they have our numbers to contact us.
Because of your post we did try contacting Fatima but she won't answer our calls.
But we just got off the phone with the grooms parents and they are happy, they are satisfied and did not say such things.
We truly understand how it feels and understand the disappointment but it's unfortunate that it has to be addressed like this because we didn't have a fair chance to explain or have a talk with the families if they weren't satisfied.
We have catered plenty events with double the numbers of guest, we have many years of experience so to say we didn't feed up to 60% of 350 guests? thats impossible, and the parents know for a fact. To give warnings or threaten us to make it seem like we are cruel fraud dishonest people based on feelings and emotions or what has been said amongst your families but not knowing the full information- it's all not true.
We are embarrassed and humiliated. It's never our intention to make our clients upset, there is alway an explanation to everything- also there may have been a disagreement on both sides at the time of the event that did not involve us but it seems that we are the easy target to be blamed and we are taking the fault for it -
It only takes one little match stick to lit up a whole fire and spread so quickly. Its the people we had dealt with directly at the event and had the meeting with will know what really did happen, everyone else we never met or spoken to only knows what happens outside of the kitchen.
You mentioned you had more listed, feel free to let us know directly - we sincerely do apologise, we know our explanation won't take back your niece's special day.
We will wait for the parents to contact us and discuss further with them.
Lord bless

Before we boarded our flight last week we couldn’t leave without catering for a beautiful 21st birthday, a girl who has inspired all of us in so many ways, Jennifer Atonio Tuitea 🤩 We see the greatness of God and blessings working through you and its only going to go up from here, we pray God will pour out his blessings upon you and many more years of achievements and success to come ❤️ Thank you for having us Tuitea Family 👍🏽 PS: no time to edit videos and photos so this was the best one I picked lol
If you would like to hire us to dance at your special event for entertainment ... please call someone else cause we ain't the One LMAO 🙃😂🤦🏽♀️ We not only catered but did a little performance, so thought we share our dance we did for the newlyweds on behalf of my Dad side ❤️ Its been a very long time since we danced, most of us have retired long time ago 👀 lol but despite our size 2 it was all for the love we had for Taffy and Nerissa Samuela😍 Enjoy, no judge, just laugh 😂🎉💃🏽💯👌
Thank you to the P.I.C Church for having us cater for their 15th Anniversary yesterday 💒 Wasnt able to take much photos but a snippet of what went down yesterday ❤ Great band, awesome entertainment plus our yummy food made it a productive Saturday 😁 thank you again for your support- Lord bless x
Last night we witness such an amazing and beautiful 21st birthday where two cultures Samoan and Tongan become one to celebrate Matalupe Fuimaono Finau birthday! An awesome experience listening and watching both cultures share their tradition, songs and music (band was on point!) but big thank you to the Finau family for having us! Great atmosphere and a lot of love from both sides of the family, makes us love doing what we do and be apart of such a beautiful celebration. Lord bless!
We had the honor to cater for your Mommy and Daddy's wedding, now a year later we here celebrating your 1 year old! Happy Birthday to you baby Nindelda Auloa 🎂😘♥ Big thankyou to David and Feiloa Auloa for having us again to celebrate your precious baby girls birthday, praying for God's blessing to be nurtured and poured upon you baby and know that God has greater plans for you! 🙏👗🍼 Lord bless Everybody! Happy Sabbath!
Throwback to Saturday 29th April 2017 💑 Apologize for the delay but a big congratulations to Jason and Lita for their new journey in life and becoming as one before God 💒 Thankyou so much for having us cater on your special day, huge thankyou aswell to Samu, Imo and family for recommanding us again ❤ Any business whether big or small, whether owned by Polynesians or Europeans; does not become succesful and walk on water without no flaws or negativity. Its actually what makes a business stronger and succeed further is when you are able to accept feedback, turn it into a learning experience but most of all be able to improve consistantly and always going upwards. Dont ever loose focus, and like we always mention in any other videos and post give us any feedback whether good or bad because it will not only make us seen the unseen but have us be more open minded to the view outside the box. In all Gods Glory, at the end we give Him praise always for every opportunity that comes our way and through His grace and timing, anything is possible! Lord Bless x Reliance Polynesian Catering Pty Ltd
Where did we get the name Reliance�
Well we got the name from my dad's job in Henderson New Zealand, Reliance Dry Cleaners.
He started working there in the year 1987 when he was only 20 years old. From the time he got married to my mum, when having all four of us his children, even till the day we left to move here to Australia in 2004 ... he never left Reliance Dry Cleaners.
Our family were so close to my Dads work collegues, they were our family, they nurtured us and loved us so much, even remembered each of our birthdays.
But the one person my Dad was very close to was the owner, his name is Emile Francis (first picture).
Before my brother was born, Emile Francis wife was diagnoised with cancer. His wife passed away so my mum promised that if she has a girl she will name her after the wife. My mum had my brother so they decided to name him Emile ... and thats where Emile gets his name from! �
This place was so special to us, it helped my Dad start our family and get us where we are today. It was also a place where he gave so many opportunity to other families too and start a living in NZ, even today moving in Australia he still does the samething and helping alot of other families aswell.
It was also the place where my Dads older sister Laasaga worked right by his side from day one, even moving here to Australia my Dads boss will pay her to fly over to Melbourne to come work a few months here then go bk lol (R.I.P aunty x)
This is the reason why we named our catering Reliance, because we want to able to get to a stage where we can do the samething to another person and provide opportunities and jobs, to reach out to others, share our experience and have others find hope through our work just like how we did in Dads job.
Well hope you enjoyed that history moment and stay tune for more!
