Book Pu’uloa, Virginia’s top Hawaiian band, for authentic music and hula at your wedding or luau. Tailored packages!

The Aloha Experience ~ the Ceremony

In Hawaiian culture, Aloha embodies LOVE, PEACE, COMPASSION, and GRATITUDE. Above all else, Aloha means LOVE.  When we greet one another, we greet each other with LOVE.  When we part, we part with LOVE.  This is why Hawaiians use the word Aloha to mean both "hello" and "goodbye".   "Hello" and "Goodbye" are synonymous with LOVE.  Think of this loving Aloha package as a welcoming “hello” to your wedding, fostering love, harmony, and affection.  The Bride and Groom enter as individuals, embrace with Aloha.  Once wed, they part as one, with Aloha.

Offerings

• Guests’ Arrival & Prelude: Mellow Hawaiian tunes set a compassionate, loving tone.

• Processional & Bride’s Entrance: Gentle rhythms, with steel guitar or solo ukulele, guide with joyful affection.

• Mid-Ceremony Moments: Subtle music and hula enhance readings or rituals with peaceful grace.

• Recessional & Postlude: Upbeat songs celebrate your union, bidding a heartfelt goodbye.

The Ohana Experience ~ Cocktails and Socials

In Hawaiian culture, Ohana embodies family—not just blood relations, but the deep bonds of love, support, and togetherness that extend to all who share in life's journey. Above all else, Ohana means FAMILY. It reminds us that no one is left behind or forgotten, as we gather to celebrate, nurture connections, and create lasting memories. This is why Hawaiians cherish Ohana as a circle of inclusion and care. Think of this loving Ohana package as an extension of your wedding's "hello," fostering family-like harmony and affection through the added cocktail hour. Guests mingle as individuals, bond over shared stories and laughter, embracing as one Ohana.

Offerings

• Cocktail Hour: Mellow Hawaiian tunes, pop adaptations, and interactive hula encourage socializing, building family ties with compassionate warmth.

• Seamless Transitions: Gentle rhythms guide from ceremony to cocktails, enhancing joyful affection and peaceful grace.

The BIG LUAU ~ Dining Ambiance or Dinner Show

In Hawaiian culture, Luau embodies a festive gathering, feasting, music, dance, and communal joy. Above all else, a Luau is a CELEBRATION. It's a time to honor milestones with abundant food, lively entertainment, and shared stories, bringing everyone together in a spirit of Aloha and Ohana. This is why Hawaiians host Luaus for weddings, birthdays, and special events—to create bonds and lasting memories through abundance and merriment. Think of this grand BIG LUAU suite as the ultimate "celebration" of your wedding, fostering joy, harmony, and unity through the added dinner reception. Guests arrive as individuals, connect as Ohana during cocktails, and feast as one in the Luau's embrace.

Offerings

• Dinner Reception: Background Hawaiian tunes during meals and speeches, upbeat for mingling, with sparse hula to enhance the festive feast.
