If you ever saw a horse and carriage in Waikiki or downtown during the Honolulu City Lights display, you have seen Honeylook.com’s Presents Sponsor Honolulu Horse & Carriage in action.  Owner/operations since 1997, Michelle Blacconiere and her Dad, Michael Blacconiere have the distinction of being the only horse and carriage operation on Oahu.  In addition to weddings, they also have carriages for funerals, graduation, promos, fundraising and other special events and you can see the various carriages as well as horses during the interview.  Ikaika Uhane, the white English shire, probably the largest horse on the island at 2,500 pounds, was born black as were some of the other Percherons that pull the carriages.  Honolulu Horse and Carriage will be one of the vendors at the Koolau Ballrooms Bridal Open House, planned for August 16 – calendar this event and come out to meet the vendors at Honeylook.com.

Koolau Ballrooms & Conference Center’s Event Services Manager, Merri Ford, is Kalehua’s second guest.  Handling weddings and all events, including birthday parties, anniversaries, school events, Merri’s 12+ years of experience is really evident in her knowledge and service oriented manner.  She introduces viewers to the 3 wedding venues – the Indoor Waterfall, Outdoor Garden and Koolau Vista (18^th tee).  During the second half of the interview, be present at Koolau Ballroom’s “A Taste of Koolau” as Norman Higashi, Director of Operations welcomes everyone to sample Chef Jim Gillespie’s fabulous menu items.  Hear a short presentation by the Koolau Ballroom’s team and also comments directly from the guests.

Ever wanted to get to know the wedding vendors a little better?  Well, Hawaii’s Wedding Professionals’ first show of Season #3 will allow you to do just that.  Opening with Kalehua Featheran, host and producer of Hawaii’s Wedding Professionals, and owner of Weddings By Kalehua, the cameras follow him over the course of a few days and record some great scenes of him on and off the job.  Meet Kawena!  See how Kalehua gets his work out!!  Learn about what makes Kalehua’s wedding ceremony a unique and memorable experience for a wedding couple and how you can contact him if you’re interested in having him officiate your wedding, vow renewal or civil union.

During the second segment, Eileen Abe of Mana’o I’o (fine hand crafted products for weddings and special events) introduces the viewers to Roo and Otto – you might think you’re watching The Pet Hui but it’s just Eileen’s 2 furry kids – Roo is her Italian Greyhound and Otto is her foster son, who is looking for a forever home of his own.  Besides the furry kids, Eileen enjoys spending time creating custom kahilis for weddings and special events and the segment ends up with the cameras following Eileen as she sources supplies, puts together and presents a silk bridal bouquet to her wedding couple.

Kudos to Stuart K Featheran Jr, our videographer and editor for his fabulous job in putting this premiere show together.

DOWN THE AISLE ON AN ISLE – Travis and Cherie Show #11 and #12 The Wedding Day and Show #13 Recap

 

Hawaii’s Wedding Professionals, Koolau Ballrooms and Conference Center and Watanabe Floral present DOWN THE AISLE ON AN ISLE.

Six months of filming and even more months of planning have culminated in this one special day -Travis and Cherie’s wedding day!  In this THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE SHOW, watch as an ensemble of 16 experienced, quality and service oriented wedding professionals weave their magic to create a lifelong memory for this wedding couple.  You will see heartwarming scenes between the couple and their family members, feel a tear well up as you witness Travis and Cherie’s wedding ceremony, and  “ooh and aah” at the spectacular transformation of an already beautiful Glass Ballroom at Koolau Ballrooms into a venue fit for royalty.  In between, there will be lots of joyful laughter at the witty comments by Travis, Cherie and their bridal party, family and guests and the naturally entertaining emceeing of the reception by Cherie’s cousin, Lina Girl of KCCN FM100.

This show captures the excitement of the arrival of Cherie and her ladies and Travis and his men, the fun photo taking and video filming, the joy of the wedding ceremony and the partying at the reception.  Oh, and the film crew even travels from Koolau Ballrooms to The Lotus at Diamond Head at the end of the evening, where we get one last view of the Penthouse until Travis and Cherie calls it a night and politely but definitely close the doors of their honeymoon suite.

For show #13, Host Kahu Kalehua Featheran joins the couple, at Koolau Ballrooms and Conference Center, to review the six month journey from planning to wedding day with the couple, Travis and Cherie Kanae-Rodrigues.  Viewers get the opportunity to see the vendors one more time, with comments and stories provided by the wedding couple.

Congratulations and best wishes Travis and Cherie!!!

Can you really call it work if you get to wear aloha shirts and shorts on the job and your office is Sandy Beach?  Well you can if you’re David Kupono Fong and Host Kahu Kalehua Featheran!

Sandy Beach is where Kupono and his beautiful wife, Ciera got married in a sunrise ceremony 2 years ago, and did their first live stream to family and friends away from Hawaii.  Encouraged by the feedback of family and friends, they took a leap of faith and started Stream It Live Online.  Their clients include wedding couples, people celebrating special events, military personnel away from home, and businesses.  The broadcast being filmed by battery operated, mobile equipment can be seen by anyone around the world who has internet access.  It can be pass-word protected or not and the exciting news is that people with Android or Apple IOS devices can also pick up the broadcast on their cell phones!

Kahu Kalehua’s second guest is long-time friend and business partner, Eileen Abe of Mana’o I’o (fine hand crafted products for weddings and all occasions) and Italian Greyhound, Roo.  Why would a bride order a silk bouquet instead of fresh flowers?  It’s so they can toss their fresh floral bouquet at the reception and keep their silk bouquet as a momento of their special day.  And, if they want a special gift or wish to add tradition to their event, a kahili is a good idea.  Often connected in the past with royalty, kahilis could be identified by design with different families.  Eileen creates the kahilis in traditional or updated designs to fit every occasion.

Wedding couples interested in a great venue need to tune in and hear Kahu Kalehua Featheran’s first guest, Raymond Donato, Director of Wedding Sales and Events at the JW Marriott Ihilani Resort and Spa share in his own words, his love and genuine service orientation towards all of his clients.  With 20 years of experience at the JW Marriott, Raymond provides a complimentary consultation which provides clients with much information and ideas.  The JW Marriott Ihilani Resort and Spa has an oceanfront or gazebo wedding venue, accommodating 200 and 60 guests respectively, as well as 387 rooms (37 of them suites), a spa with a private bridal salon, 3 wonderful restaurants, ballrooms that can hold up to 900 guests and the spectacular sunsets of the west side of the island.  Although the choice of many destination couples, the JW Marriott Ihilani Resort and Spa is a smart choice for local people as well, who can enjoy a neighbor island feel without leaving Oahu.  Raymond often serves as a minister or emcee for his wedding couples, who now consider Raymond not only their wedding consultant, but a friend as well.

The second segment features Mila Troutman of Milaniko wedding apparel.  Milaniko offers European fashions of traditional Ukranian quality.  A tailor with 20 years of experience, Mila has also passed on her fashion sense to son, Niko or Nick who is currently in charge of design production of the wedding gowns in the Ukraine.  Made by hand from start to finish, Milaniko’s wedding gowns are made with Italian satin, French lace and hand beading and embroidery.  All of the gowns are made to order and prices are extremely affordable – you have to watch this show to hear the price ranges and once you do, a visit to Milaniko will be on the top of your list.  For brides who wish to rent their wedding gowns, Milaniko also offers this service and gowns can be rented for 3 days.  Milaniko is working on a tuxedo line made with 100% wool and Italian fabrics, with the largest and most reputable Turkish textile manufacturer and businesses who are interested in purchasing wedding gowns or tuxedos in bulk can call Mila to make an appointment to discuss this opportunity. 

Kalehua’s third guest is Gilbert Magbual, owner and DJ of N-D Mixx Productions, a family-run business, with wife Fran and his daughter and son all helping out.  2011 marks Gil’s 20^th successful year in the DJ business.  His vast library of songs numbers 75,000 and if his client wants a song that he doesn’t have, Gil will go out of his way to find that song for his client.  Gil can set up sound and lighting for an intimate group of 20 guests to large wedding receptions and corporate functions of 2,000 guests or more.  Gil likes to have his bride and groom be the star at their own wedding, so his motto is “your music, your way”.

Also, the music you hear in the background of the interviews is being provided by Kupaoa – mahalo
