Entertainment ~ Local Style!

“Buy Locally” the bumper sticker says! My suggestion is the same when it comes to sourcing your corporate meeting or incentive program’s entertainment. Our team has the resources, relationships, and know how to assist you in doing just that!

When Oprah Winfrey brought Harpo Productions on a 20 year anniversary trip (1,000 + of her employees and their families), she, through her production partner and Island Partners Hawai’i, hired local performers for her nightly entertainent. They did not disappoint! Our small state has an amazing and innovative music, dance, and art community.

In fact the ”Hawaiian Music Scene” is at such a high caliber the Grammys created a category for “Hawaiian Music” several years back….How would you like the bragging rights of introducing a Grammy Award Winner or Grammy Nominee to your attendees? All without the expense associated with bringing in name entertainment and their entourages from “the mainland”. Local entertainment may not have immediate name recognition, but your guests will be immediately amazed and touched by the unique talent and dynamism of these performers, creating the magical moment we cross our fingers for in every program!

And, local entertainment does not have to be Hawaiian! We have Jazz singers, aerial performers and acrobats, blow out dance-the-night-away Show Bands – the full gamut. Now should you decide to bring in entertainment from out of state here is a hot tip ~ our locally based production partners have all the top quality gear you are looking for, avoiding huge equipment shipping fees. So, buy locally! Your budget will go farther, and you’ll share the magic of Hawai’i ~

Local Staff Make the Difference

Carole — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 09:14:16 +0000

We know that Hospitality Services or the quality of local staff can make or break a program. Sure you can bring your own staff, but it’s the local staff that truly adds the ALOHA to a great program. At Island Partners Hawai‘i, our Travel Directors’ depth of experience adds up to more than 530 years between them!!!

You will not find anywhere in Hawai‘i more qualified, efficient, well organized, competent, resourceful, professional, ingenious, gentle, considerate, companionate, proficient, skilled, caring, warm, quick witted, back breaking, well mannered, courteous, fresh, bright, groomed, talented, dependable, gifted, creative, understanding, happy, and thoughtful individuals than on the Island Partners Hawai‘i Travel Director’s team.

We have it all and the best part about our team is that they love what they do. Their professionalism, ability to think on their feet in any given situation, and most importantly, their positive outgoing personalities is what makes them the best in the world!

Design by Nature

matthew — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 08:52:08 +0000

An elegant design leaves you feeling as if the waves lapping on the shoreline washed everything into place - there is no better designer than mother nature, especially when she gets a little help from our world class lighting designs.

Kashmir Carnival

Steve — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 20:00:18 +0000

This colorful design was inspired by the beautiful textures and textiles of Kashmir as well as the vibrant colors of the Hawaiian sunset. Careful formulation and months of pre-planning design and flow are taken with great concern, all to execute a lighthearted whimsical event – a fantasy dancing in the Hawaiian sunset.

Bold Yet Flexible

matthew — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 11:34:20 +0000

Flexibility in Design is our specialty. This event was originally designed to be outdoor under a canopy of stars and was then moved indoor. We have also produced this event at very aggressive price points without compromising the design impact. We believe true creativity is learned and achieved on budget conscious events.

Sparkle by the Sea

matthew — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 08:20:58 +0000

Created in last years Design Workshop by one of our Operations Coordinators (yes, design is within us all!), Sparkle by the Sea emanates elegance. Our team harvested raw driftwood pieces off of the shores of Maui, which create a playful platform for the soft Phalaenopsis Orchids to fashion their juxtaposition.
