“I was really impressed with the level of thought and time Manaia put into the performance. They took on board what we were trying to achieve and created a performance that was aligned to our objectives and work with the event.”
Gemma Jelicich NZTE, corporate performance Istanbul
“The performance was exceptional and Manaia kept my audience of 200 Cricket lovers enthralled and transfixed. They gave a great insight into the traditions of Maori culture and finished with the famous Haka. I would like to thank the whole group for making my fund raising night a great success.”
Graham Gooch, former England cricket Captain
“To see the surprise and delight on our friends and families faces as the group appeared from nowhere made us so happy, and now looking back through the photos of our guest's joining in we have some wonderful memories.”
