OUR STORY
25 years of connection. Reborn as Pilina.
Pilina is the Hawaiian word for relationship — connection, bonding, the ties that hold people together. Founded in Hawaii in 2000 as Reliable Facility Placement, we became Pilina in 2025 to honor what has always set us apart: the genuine relationships behind every perfect event.
