We offer a full production show and will arrive at your venue with all of our gear including sound system, portable 10x10 dressing room and 10x10 island sunset backdrop which is the backdrop for our staging area. It also can serve as a great backdrop for photos with your party guests, either with or without costumed performers. We can offer polynesian music playlists as background music for the duration of your event, to be played before and after the show. Our costumed dancers can provide a lei greeting for your guests (you provide the leis).
