why
ohana
Ohana is a Hawaiian word that means family, and those you choose as family. A popular quote you may have heard before,
Every event we orchestrate is brought together by love or a common interest. We feel that no matter the guests invited, each event is bringing together some sort of family. That does not have to mean blood-relatives, Ohana technically means anyone you "consider" family. Everyone has a dad’s best friend that they call uncle. Everyone has a work buddy that they eat lunch and talk with day after day. No matter the ties, these are relationships that we enjoy bringing together for events. And every time we finish another successful and meaningful event, we have more people in our Ohana. What more could we ask for?
“Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.”
