It is so important to us at Hawaiʻi Hula Company that our clients be a part of creating exactly the kind of entertainment they have in mind for their special day. After all, a wedding is an occasion that celebrates 2 individual people forming a special union.

It should be about the both of you, your preferences and your style.

Hawaiʻi Hula Company can provide all the entertainment your heart desires, to create everything from a sweet private ceremony, to a larger event on the beach, to a grand hotel ballroom, or a spacious outdoor location.

Here are a few guiding tips to help you decide what to book. If you’re on the beach or a larger open area, consider making the wise decision to include a sound system and lighting, if needed (depending on the time of day).

The amount of sound you need will be determined by the number of Musicians and Audience size (Anything over 25 people, sound should be considered).

If you also wish to hire Hula Dancers for your reception, its a good idea to have as many dancers as musicians on stage. This creates a balance between the amount of musicians and the amount of hula dancers for that perfect balance on stage.

Another thing to keep in mind is… what kind of music you are looking to have. Traditional Hawaiian, Contemporary Hawaiian or a mix of both?

From Denelle B.

“I contacted the Hawaiʻi Hula Company a few months before our wedding to see about hiring a group to perform Hula or Tahitian dancing and a fire knife performer for our wedding reception at Kualoa Ranch. She was incredibly responsive and helped me figure out the best configuration for our budget and our guests.

On the day of our wedding I was blown away. The performers and musicians were incredibly talented and our guests (many of whom were on the island for just a few days and didn’t have time to enjoy a full lū’au performance) had a great time. A big thank you to everyone for making our day so amazing a memorable.”
