They cater to private events, weddings, as well as larger events. We used Kahaialii Productions for our wedding and were amazed by their talent. The owner, Wilmont Kamaunu Kahaialii, and his cousin, are two superb musicians playing on their guitars as well as great singers. We did not know a lot about Hawaiian music, but knew we wanted a mix of Hawaiian and alternative, such as Izrael Kamakawiwoole, Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Shania Twain, Jack Johnson, Nora Jones, Train, Michael Buble, Luther Vandross, and tons more. All our guests loved them and let us know it. Wilmont even had us do a Hawaiian quasi-line dance. I was afraid at first of it being tacky like an electric line dance, but he made everyone very comfortable and made sure everyone had a great time. And we did!! Along with many laughs. If you're looking for a musician for your private event, I highly recommend Kahaialii Productions. Not that I'm biased that they did my wedding, but I genuinely was very happy with their work and would hire them again in a heartbeat.

We came across Doug and Afterglow Weddings Maui during our planning and immediately in our first interaction we felt like we had met the right person to video record our special memories. Doug was personable, interested in what we wanted and exactly what was important to us, he provided all the details of his services patiently and worked with us through great timely communication. On the day of our wedding, we had lots of guests and activities going on, while people were a challenge to handle. Doug managed to keep it all under control and get amazing footage of our entire wedding! Doug captured every single important wedding ceremony highlight and provided us with various types / versions of the footage - unedited version in a hard drive, edited long movie length videos, and short montage / highlights video. Our families as well as my husband and I absolutely loved the work and enjoy watching the videos to relive our special memories! Doug was very professional and added special touches of drone shots from above in the very perfect way during our various traditional wedding ceremony events! The drone shots and editing truly makes our wedding videos look nothing but spectacular. We also needed some videos soon to showcase at our reception in India a month after the wedding, and Doug worked with us to provide the necessary footage in various levels of quality in time for our reception. Over 800 guests at our reception enjoyed watching the wedding videos there!! It was an unforgettable experience we will always cherish. :)) Thank you Doug, for capturing our lifetime memories and for a wonderful experience in the process!! We wish you lots of success ahead.

So I spoke to Alalani and although because it was summer solstice she wasn't going to do any weddings on Saturday but after she spoke to me she gratiously agreed to give us the simple beach wedding we wanted. Within minutes of meeting us that morning she was able to "read" us and during the ceremony said exactly what we needed to hear as if we had known her for years! It felt truly magical and we could feel her beautiful energy going right thru us! Neither one of us have felt such amazing power come from anyone before. We feel truly blessed to have been married by such an awe inspiring goddess!

This was our second wedding and we were not looking for an elaborate ceremony. That being said, we still wanted this day to be special without spending a lot of money. The details were getting too complicated so we decided to elope while on vacation in Maui. Alalani chose the perfect setting right before the beach (no permit) in Kihea and was able to make our wedding day very special. She even took pictures for us with our cell phone so we would have pictures to look back on to remember how amazing this perfect day was! We would highly recommend her! Thank you Alalani for everything! God Bless!

On 5.23.19 at 4:30pm, the love of my life and I shared the most beautiful moments together on the…read moreisland of Maui at Sugar Beach Events. Surrounded by family and friends, Andrew Barrera of Salty Trades Media captured not only the visual representation of our wedding, but all of the raw passion, support and sounds that accompanied it. Andrew was able to record over 7 hours of love on our big day and poetically composed a 7 minute cinema for us to enjoy, share and reminisce upon. I feel it's very important to note that Andrew of Salty Trades is NOT A VIDEOGRAPHER. Andrew is a CINEMATOGRAPHER. He will not just record your day, he will turn it into a movie fit for the big screen. The difference is in the way he captures the events and later edits them. The difference is in the passion and love he puts behind his art. Most wedding vendors see the event as a paycheck or a simple "money-maker" so to speak. But not Andrew. From the beginning, when we first found Andrew, he was so elated and excited to help us capture our big day. He was so helpful and answered every single one of our questions without dancing around it. He was super kind and friendly but also straight to the point when it came to answering our questions which made it easy to understand him. He took his time explaining each option that he had available to us and went in-depth about what the difference was between him and everybody else. Needless to say, we made the right decision. Andrew brought a personal touch to the entire wedding. He brought us into his home to record our vows in his PROFESSIONAL RECORDING STUDIO. This gave us the opportunity to recite our vows in a quiet place that would allow for "crisp and clear" audio for our cinema. His wife Sarah welcomed us with open arms and his dogs Lily and Charlie were the most loving little pups on island. He made us feel like family. He coached us through the entire recording process and made us feel comfortable so that we had very little to stress about (because if you're getting married, you already understand that you've got enough stress on your plate as it is) because he understands what it's like to be in our shoes. Andrew gave us peace of mind, which for newly weds, is all we want. But above all, He gave us the best cinema that we could have ever asked for. Our family, our friends, our coworkers, everyone that has ever taken them time to view it, have stated it's not just a video, "it's a movie". We've received so many texts and comments about how much they love it and how they cried while watching it, accompanied with crying emojis. It's a fairytale cinema that every bride and groom want. At the end of our trip on 5.30.18, Andrew again, asked us to stop by his house to check out our cinema. Please note that we were married on 5.23.19. Andrew completed our cinema in 6 days and he presented it to us on the 7th day. This meant he worked tirelessly through the days and nights to provide us with our movie. His hard work went above and beyond anything we could've ever asked for. He provided us with 7 hours of raw 4K footage, our full 25 minute ceremony in 4K(on a separate file), over 50 still-shots captured from the 4K footage (in separate files), our very own YouTube link that NEVER EXPIRES, a 60 second snippet for social media that then redirects to our YouTube link with a simple click, and explained that he would keep all of it himself on a personal hard drive so that in case we ever lost it, he would have it. As well as to pull still shots from at a later date should we choose to. Andrew provided us with the professionalism and quality cinema and was absolutely worth every dollar. He is not just a cinematographer. Andrew and his wife are now family to us both. We cannot emphasize enough how proud we are of his work. I hope that everyone who reads this, sincerely considers every word and discusses with Andrew what he can do for you at your special event. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Andrew for everything you've done for us. With much love and happiness, Jordan and Bianca Epperson Please find below the link to our wedding cinema: https://youtu.be/s5bOKIeJvIk

From the minute I saw his portfolio, I knew he was the photographer for us. Michael performed like a star on the big day. He had packages to fit our needs exactly and was gracious and flexible even with the changing precipitation, lighting, and locations! Michael was accommodating, funny, and gracious. One thing I did not appreciate until we were in the moment was the importance of "bedside manner." Michael said the sweetest things at just the right moment, cajoled smiles out of the bewildered and tired children, and captured many, many shots of his own invention and at our request. We loved working with him and so will you!
