Consummate professional, gracious and inviting, superlative hula skills and the ability to respectfully share a bit of Hawaiian culture. Everyone was in awe of Pua skills as a dancer and storyteller.

Very impressed by the Hula dancer. She told a story to the song that accompanied it. Both the dancer and musician are very talented and so nice. They brought their A game and taught us some movements to a song. Very entertaining. Very nice. They made our evening a memorable occasion, especially when they played tribute to Lahaina. We will definitely have them again. Mahalo.
Hula Manu O'o:
Aloha Suzanne and mahalo for inviting us to be your entertainers for the evening. We had a wonderful time sharing our favorite Hawaiian tunes and hulas. Most of all, appreciate the warmth and hospitality extended to us by each and every guest and look forward to the next time. Mahalo again!

We hired this group to perform at my mother’s retirement party. They were on time, ready to go, and very professional. Their performance added a lot to the party, the music and the dancing created such a great atmosphere. I would highly recommend this group. Very upfront, fair and will do business with them again in the future.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on April 8, 2018•From Santa Clara, CA
Hula Manu O'o performed at a Celebration of Life service for my husband. Our hula dancer, Pua, performed at the beginning and end of the program. Her interpretations of the songs were breathtaking and moved many to tears. The duo accompanying her were very talented. They performed for an hour during the reception and featured a lively mix of Hawaiian standards. These performers present a very classy show,. We wanted a "Halekulani" vibe and that's precisely what we received.
I also appreciated the booking process. Lisa was very prompt in answering all of my questions and helped me think through the performance part of the program.
Hula Manu O'o:
We are so deeply honored to have been a part of the celebration of Peter's life and glad that our humble offering was a worthy tribute to how deeply he touched the lives of so many.

Outstanding performance! We are a Memory Care Facility with Residents with different stages of Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease. Lisa connected with all of our residents with her personalized touch, enthusiasm and grace. We were in awe of her talent and show-womanship. Our Hawaiian Luau Party was a great success with our residents, families and our staff. Thank you Lisa.
