My name is Michaela Lehuanani Larson,
I am Hawaiian, a Kama'aina, child of this land.
I come from a traditional Hawaiian Ohana which provides knowledge and insight needed when performing the Hawaiian elements in your ceremony.
A former Hawaiian studies teacher, and school in the art of hula, your ceremony comes with years of experience.
All ceremonies include authentic Hawaiian elements designed for everyone.
The spirit of aloha is intended to be experience and shared by everyone.
All ceremonies are filled with aloha and always authentic.
