Karepa Wall
For more information about Tahua Kete and how Karepa can support your event or programme, contact:
Tahua Kete is a Te Āti Awa ki Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Wellington iwi-based cultural service provider led by experienced practitioners who bring tikanga Māori and mātauranga Māori into the heart of events, gatherings, and decision‑making spaces. Our work begins with understanding the kaupapa, the people, and the purpose of each hui, so that the tone, process, and mana of the occasion are honoured from the very first word.
Karepa Wall is a key contact and cultural lead for Tahua Kete, with years of experience leading and supporting the depths of Te Āti Awa tikanga in Wellington, ensuring our tikanga is upheld with integrity and that our guests feel supported while in Wellington.
With all our team having a strong grounding in tikanga and a practical, relational approach, Karepa and team works closely with organisers to design culturally appropriate openings and closings that align with the group's needs and the integrity of the place. Whether it’s a formal ceremony, a governance meeting, a community event, or a corporate gathering, the focus is always on clarity, respect, and cultural authenticity.
Tahua Kete’s services include facilitating pōwhiri, guiding whakawhanaungatanga, and offering cultural advice to help kairangi, kaimahi, and āwhina navigate tikanga in everyday spaces. We're adaptable, responsive, and committed to partnering with organisations that value culture as a living, guiding force rather than a formality.

He tangata, he tangata, he tangata
What is the most important thing in the world?
It is people, It is people, it is people.
At Wellington Functions, this whakataukī guides everything we do.
Because great events aren’t just about spaces or menus — they’re about people.
Brought to life through thoughtful service, genuine hospitality, and deep respect for place, culture, and community.
Public Trust event
Trinity held fort early on and then Holly looked after us with professionalism and compassion for the rest of the event. The extended venue team was wonderfully quiet in laying out things during the talks so please pass a 'thank you' on to them for that along with a double thumbs up from all attendees who was very impressed by the food!
Looking forward to working with the team again come Tuesday at the Teulo event :-)
