About

Your One Stop Polynesian Shop!!

Manutea Nui E, meaning the growth of the white bird, is a family owned and operated entertainment and production company. Owner Joey Dang started Manutea Nui E from a tiny costume shop in 2007 and then grew it to where we are today, a network of passionate entertainment professionals eager to represent our Island home. We specialize in private events that range from the simplest of wedding ceremonies and receptions to the largest corporate conventions.

We offer entertainment that fits every occasion by providing the most convenient and personal service found in Hawaii. Luau shows, Hawaiian games, sound/lights, private Hula lessons, and musician trios are just a few of the services we offer. Because accommodation is paramount for us at Manutea Nui E, customizing allows our clients to tailor the exact Polynesian experience they desire.

What we strive for is to have a more personal connection with our audience, to deliver an experience that is memorable and impactful, and to develop a long-lasting relationship with our visitors. Memorable experiences of Hawaii become stories that are shared time and time again. Let Manutea Nui E help to create that story, a story worth telling.

Maunutea Nui E entertained my clients with a 1 hour hula show, complete with a fire knife dance, that was wonderful! The Musicians and dancers provide a Traditional and beautiful show! The costumes are Authentic. The guests truly enjoyed the show and said it was one of the highlights!!!

Joey came to our condo in Maui and provided my bridesmaids and I with hula lessons a few days prior to my wedding. She was so sweet and really made it easy for us to learn and feel comfortable dancing. It was an amazing cultural experience and so much fun! We performed the dance for my husband at our wedding reception wearing flowers in our hair that Joey made. I would highly recommend Manutea Nui E!

One word... Amazing! Joey and Kawika performed at our wedding, doing a drum and fire performance. We were so pleased by their show and our guests were very impressed! Kawika did so many cool tricks! The kids and the adults were memorized! Joey's drum playing was fabulous and went right along with Kawika's performance. They make a great pair!!! They stayed after their show and took photos with kids and chatted with us. If your looking for a high energy performance, you won't be disappointed in these two!
Thank you both for helping make our wedding special and memorable!

We used Manutea Nui E for our wedding officiant and beach permit. We were a bit nervous about hiring an officiant that we had never met or spoke with but it turned out great! Keakoa was everything you'd expect a Hawaiian officiant to be and more, He was personable, warm, spiritual, and shared with us his calling of spreading the knowledge of the Hawaiian traditions. My husband and I felt so grateful to have such a beautiful ceremony, our hearts are filled with great love and respect for the islands and its traditions!

"First of all, thank you so much for sharing your awesome talent with our clients!! You both are so wonderful to work with! Many people have come back year after year requesting our shows that we have provided. They always bring extended family members who really enjoy the music, hula, conch shell blowing, fire knife and especially all of the beautiful, hand made costumes!! Lets continue to work together and share a little bit of aloha!!" * Louise Alborano
