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!

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

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.

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!!

Aloha Ron,
Thank you for the great review. We enjoyed entertaining you all and thank you for having us be part of your special day. Enjoy your stay here in the islands and Have fun in Tahiti!

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.

About
1985
Isitolo & Evelyn Oloa founded Kalena's Polynesian Ohana in Waialua, Oahu, HI. Entertaining for many occassions, the group participated in various Christmas craft fairs, The Fourth of July celebrations, and local church bazaars. The dancers were also known as the World Pacific Dancers in the 1988 "Wave of the Future" World Pacific Wrestling Show.
1989
Isitolo and Evelyn Oloa moved to Pittsburgh, PA to become choreographers and cast members of "Hawaii in Pittsburgh" located in Pittsburgh, PA. The show brought in thousands of people nightly from the eastern United States as well as Canada, bringing memories of the Polynesian islands to many.
1996
The home base for "Hawaii in Pittsburgh" was sold and the cast members continued entertaining for river boat shows, dinner theatres and private parties.
1998
Isitolo and Evelyn Oloa moved to Orlando, FL. With a whole new group, they continued what they had started in Hawaii. In Orlando, they have found new life in Kalena's building a successful school that would win in numerous Tahitian Competitions. This also brought about growth in their four children: Charlene, Salamasina, Mikaele and Natalie-Rose. Mikaele Oloa became the youngest fire knife competitior at the PCC World competition to win the title of The World Fire Knife Dance Champion. He was only 15 years old!
2008
The family relocated to their home in Waialua, HI. Isitolo and Evelyn, along with the aid of their daughters Salamasina and Natalie and son, Mikaele Oloa, re-opened Kalena's Polynesian Ohana - Hawaii. Their oldest daughter, Charlene Oloa, continues the operation of the Orlando, FL location.

Set List
Although our show can be customized depending on your event, our specifically specialized set list includes the following:
We open up with the sound of the conch shells! Our cast of dancers enter the stage as they prepare to start the show with our signature Tahitian dance with fire torches. Next, we perform a beautiful slow Tahitian dance ended by a soloist performance. We follow up our set with your very own hula instructor. She arrives for your first opportunity for audience participation where your guests can learn a fun hula!
Toward the end of the show, we feature the Samoan fire knife dance. All of our fire knife dancers have been trained by Mauga Mu, the world's most decorated Samoan fire knife dance school. We finish the night with a fast Tahitian dance where we have our second chance for audience participation--this is typically the most fun section of the night where your guests learn how to dance to the beat of the drums!
