A frequent backdrop for the Hawaii’s Wedding Professionals interviews, today Host Kahu Kalehua Featheran welcomes Sales Manager Steven Nagamine and Merri Ford, Event Services Manager of Koolau Ballrooms and Conference Center.  As viewers see photos of their many ceremony and reception venues, Steve and Merri introduces their newest venue – the championship 15^th tee is now available for booking for small intimate wedding ceremonies for 12 to 15 guests.  With a spectacular 360 degree view from the Koolau Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, this is certainly a venue to remember.  Steven also introduced a new Alii Package with upgraded services and amenities, including hotel arrangements!  Easily accessible via the Pali, Likelike or H3 Freeway, with lots of free parking, Koolau Ballrooms and Conference Center is a great venue for weddings, proms, birthday parties and business meetings and events. 

Bella Rosa provided the floral arrangements for the Koolau Ballrooms interview and are now guests on the second half of the show.  With Best Bridal Hawaii’s Ocean Crystal Chapel as the venue, Isabel Lambert and Daysi Valiente are joined by Janna modeling a wedding gown from Milaniko (Wedding Apparel) and Richard Li of Kahala Limo modeling a tuxedo from Charity Formals.

In Hawaii since 1985, Bella Rosa was the first importer of Ecuadorian roses to the Islands; Ecuador is the #1 rose grower in the world by virtue of having 50 degree temperature all year round, the perfect climate for roses.   As viewers see samples of their many bouquets, arrangements and floral decorations designed by Daysi for weddings and other events, Isabel explains that Bella Rosa has a huge variety of flowers and many different colors of roses, and how roses are grown, shipped and handled so the recipient can enjoy them for a long time.

The sound of the pu or conch shell is heard as owner Kuiokalani Gapero of Mamolii Productions opens this week’s Hawaii’s Wedding Professionals.  Set against the majestic mountain range of Koolau Ballrooms and Conference Center, host Kahu Kalehua Featheran begins by asking Kui to share a little about his background and company with the viewing audience.

Originally from Maui, Kui attended Kamehameha School, where he started dancing hula and he loved it so much that it became an integral part of his life.  In forming Mamolii Productions in 2008, Kui’s vision was to portray his culture as best as he can with as much authenticity as possible in the hula and dances of Tahiti and Aotearoa (New Zealand).  Tune in to the show to learn about the pu (conch shell), ipu heke (gourd), puili (split bamboo) and uli uli (gourd rattle).  Mamolii Productions offers vignettes of 15 minutes to a full Polynesian Show, awa ceremonies, full sound systems, conch shell blowers, lei greeters, bartending services and much more for both wedding and other events.

     

Richard Li of Kahala Limo drives up to meet Kalehua in one of his luxury cars – a 1985 Rolls Royce.  He also has a Bentley, 2 Mercedes Benz and a Range Rover to offer for any transportation need – for the wedding couple on their special day, for airport/hotel/home pick up, corporate events, proms, Valentine’s Day or even for a special dinner so clients can enjoy a night out on the town and not worry about driving home safely.  Richard feels his vehicles offer another option besides a limousine that is more intimate and unique.

Viewers must tune in to hear Richard’s story about how he received the opportunity to change his life – fascinating!
