Our Philosophy

The Art of the Island Gathering.

Makani Ā Wai is a family-owned creative studio dedicated to the intersection of hospitality and visual storytelling.

We approach every curation with an artist's eye for composition and a local's respect for the ʻāina. We saw a need for experiences that go beyond the standard setup. Moments that are visually arresting, deeply private, and flawlessly executed. Whether for a quiet proposal or a grand estate dinner, our family is dedicated to crafting the backdrop for your most significant memories.
