Fire dancer show was only 3 minutes long. Not worth it, beware because everyone else's quote states 15-20 minutes while theirs do not. There is a reason.

Response from Makaona's Hawaiian/Hula Entertainment:
Aloha Jeff...
So sorry to hear. I have no control over the fire dancer and how long his performance is. I sub contracted him out. I will find a replacement asap for a longer time. also, there's no fire show that is 20 minutes long unless they are fire acrobats. 5-10 minute tops. Pls keep in mind that the reason it is a bit pricey is because of the "danger" of the job. Mahalo for your business and Congratulations on your wedding.

I was in a real jam as a last minute change in the event required specialized entertainment. They came through with exactly what I needed.

They were very helpful, and were very responsive. Our Ukelele player was engaging, friendly, and very very good. I’d highly recommend to all.

Response from Makaona's Hawaiian/Hula Entertainment:
Thanks so much, Jackie! The situation that was happening touched my heart, and I definitely wanted to be a part of lifting everyone's spirits and sharing the true meaning of Aloha! Blessings to all of you! 🙏
I picked this company because their quote was reasonable.
That was my first choice, to be honest.
I was looking for a ukulele player to play for my husband's birthday on the beach.
When I was in the booking process, I was home in Texas so it was very hard for me to feel comfortable because of my lack of knowledge regarding entertainment in Hawaii.
Maka was my contact person.
The company texted and left voice messages to ensure my satisfaction, and that all my questions were answered.
The birthday dinner/event was incredible.
Jeremy Hirowaka was our Ukulele Player and showed up right on time.
His smile was infectious as well as his talent.
There was one song he admitted from my request that he did not know, but we could not even tell.
He played it so perfectly.
I'm so glad I picked this company for my event!
There will definitely be a next time for me.
Thank you so much,
