Kalena’s Polynesian Ohana

Definitely book with Kalena’s for your next event! I promise you they will not let you down! Got the crowd going & loved every second of every performance. The fire dancing was the highlight of it all!🔥🔥🔥

Kalenas gave an energetic and skilled fire knife show as the surprise performance of our wedding. They were very flexible and accommodating, especially after I had requested their services so close to my wedding. Our guests were surprised and blown away by their performance. Would work with them again! Amazing job team!

Aloha, We had an Anniversary party that was last minute and we had family in town and this booking turned out to be an amazing and beautiful performance and so much fun! We thank you all for such great memories with family and friends and we highly recommend booking and enjoying all that Kalena’s Polynesian Ohana has to offer! Thank you all very much loved it!! Mahalo 🤙🏽🌴🌺😊

I cannot say enough about how great this experience was for us and our guests! We hired Kalena's Polynesian Ohana for our son's first birthday luau and we are so glad we did. BIG BIG shout out to Isotolo! he's the sweetest! and so talented and funny! The dancers were GREAT, all of them!! We had Hula, Polynesian, and Fire dancers, we even had keiki hula dancers, they were the cutest :) They taught our guests how to hula and got all the men dancing, it was hilarious! Our guests could not stop talking about how fun and entertaining the entire experience was.
If you are thinking about hiring them, DO IT! You will not regret it!
Thank you SO SO much Kalena's Polynesian Ohana, you were good to us :)

Kalena’s Polynesian Ohana displayed a breathtaking Polynesian Entertainment during our wedding reception. Our guests were impressed and we got so many positive feedbacks from them after the performance. We will definitely hire them again in one of our future events.

Isitolo and his family with Kalena’s Polynesian Ohana give off such beautiful energy and kindness and our wedding ceremony and time on Oahu would not have been the same if we didn’t work with them! Kalena’s Polynesian Ohana (KPO) did everything from the live singing during the ceremony, the conch shell blowing before the entrance of the bride, live singing during cocktails and dinner reception, and we surprised our guests with hula and fire dancers, all the way down to the DJ /MC for the entire night. They were beyond beyond beyond impressed, it was absolutely incredible!

In the beginning, I got on a call with Isitolo and he helped create a vision to make my day feel magical. Coming from California I didn’t know what to do to make it feel special but I knew that I wanted something memorable and an experience for all of our guests flying out. Isitolo and his family went beyond our expectations.

During our ceremony they had their band out there and his nephew (who was also an award winning fire dancer) sang during the procession. He had a beautiful voice and sang “Over the Rainbow” to everyone walking down. When it was time for me (bride) to walk down the aisle they had a person with a fire torch and a conch shell walk up and down the aisle to blow the conch shell before my entrance. This helped set the moment and the emotion for everyone. His nephew sang “Can't Help Falling In Love” while I walked down the aisle and I was in tears. This was so special to everyone, I got so much feedback about how beautiful the singing and conch shell moment was that it put everyone in tears. After the ceremony we did the first dance, Kalena’s was also our MC and DJ. They introduced us and played all of our selected music perfectly. During the dinner, they also sang live music. It was calming and felt so authentic to Hawaii which helped set the atmosphere for everyone.

Then there was the show. They put on a 30 minute show with hula dancers and award winning fire dancers! Our guests were cheering so loud and incredibly enthused by the entertainment. They put on the best show we could ask for, our coordinator even had to mention to us that the performance was probably the best they had seen at a wedding! They included guest participation, one for all the men, one for all the women, and one for the bride and groom and it was hilarious! Isitolo not only has a great singing voice but knows exactly what to say to keep our guests laughing and keeping the celebration fun! It was by far a highlight for all of our guests and created memories we will never forget.

The rest of the night they were the MC and DJ and they had everyone on the dance floor and just let the drinks and music do the rest of the work!

Hiring Kalena’s is one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The prices are very competitive and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else besides them for your event entertainment! Thank you so much for entertaining our guests and for making us feel like family. We have already said whenever we make it back to the island to always say hello and to stop by and say hi…and order some of their food at Kalena's Hut (their other business).

If I could rate any higher, I would. The Ohana was so genuinely kind and radiant. They went above and beyond our expectations within minutes of taking the stage. Prompt, excellent communication, and beautiful performance and attire.
I really felt the love they have for each other, their passions, and the communities they serve- because that’s what they do, serve the community to a truly meaningful gift of their performance. I really felt like they were happy to be here, and it meant a lot to us. Very grateful for their presence at our wedding and in the community.

Excellent performance

Wonderful cultural learning experience for our Ohana!

Had Kalena's for my wedding reception. We were running super behind, but they patiently waited well past their original start time. The performers were incredibly talented, the show was entertaining, hilarious, and everyone absolutely loved it. Many people in our group had been to other luaus in Oahu, and rated Kalena's as good or better than many in the area. Super professional and did an excellent job. Thank you!!

We were so pleased with this group we chose to book for our dinner entertainment. The drummer/host was funny and engaging, the costumes were wonderful and the dancing was great as well. Recommended.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND
DA BEST ON THE ISLANDS!!!!!
Isi & Iwa the most talented on the ISLANDS!!!!

We hired Kalena’s Polynesian Ohana to perform at our vow renewal ceremony both as the entertainment and as the ceremony officiant and they were wonderful!

The show was interactive and fun and the host Ito was engaging and accommodated all our requests.

The group was merry, talented, and engaging. We were given an authentic look at Hawaii.

Completely exceeded expectations.

Aloha! We worked with Kalena's Polynesian Ohana for a wedding at The Kahala. They are a true traditional Hawaiian family with a modern twist! They not only did a lei greeting for us, but they taught us a few Hula dances getting the guests involved, performed very beautiful Hula and Tahitian dances for us with live music and drums performed by them, a Polynesian fire dance with 3 performers, and a Samoan fire knife dance by a champion in the art. They also DJ’ed and MC’d the event. The photographer said of the many years he has photographed weddings this was the best Polynesian dance company he has ever filmed and we agree! The best thing about the family is their passion for what they do and the joy they share with everyone around them.

Everything was great!!!
