Our story
We're a family-run business that’s all about helping you create fun, meaningful, and unforgettable events and parties, tailored perfectly to your unique style and story.
Our history
What started as a humble family tradition has grown into something truly special. It all began with hosting our own kids' birthday parties—Kai, now 18, and Kiavah, now 16—back in San Antonio, Texas. Whether it was at a park, a lake, our home, or a children's theme arcade, these celebrations were filled with joy, love, and incredible food. We served a mix of Tex-Mex, Western, BBQ, Hawaiian, Filipino, and other Asian cuisines, offering guests a delightful variety of flavors from different cultures. Most importantly, we always made sure to ask our kids what foods they wanted to enjoy and serve to their friends. I would often remind them, "This is your party, not Mom or Dad's," involving them in every step of the planning process.
What truly set these celebrations apart was their warmth, personal touch, and the strong sense of family they carried. Over time, word spread. What started as planning our own kids' parties soon expanded to organizing birthday celebrations and even graduation parties for others. It was all thanks to word-of-mouth referrals from relatives, friends, and eventually, friends of friends.
At first, it was overwhelming balancing this growing passion with everything else in life...
l time wife/mom responsibilities, a full time teaching job to adding an event/party planning. But everything fell into the right place.
With the support of my family, relatives and friends, we are operating fully and have planned successful events/parties since 2023 From birthdays (first and 18th are our most popular ones) corporate events, graduation to celebration of life, we have been making memories with some Oahu Ohana.
My husband Paul has always been the backbone of this company. He had a vision about me spearheading such. It started without a website, and recently created one to reach out to more people. He was the one who has inspired me to start this company. He believed in me so much and see the "gift" I have in planning parties and events. I am beyond grateful for him, and am confident to take this to a higher level.
I believe, any party or event has to have a soul, and this is our expertise. From our humble beginning, we bring you the spirit of Aloha in every detail of your event or party. My name is Nenette, I am the founder of this company. I am always grateful for my humble beginnings and opportunities wherever this journey takes me. I hope you'll be part of it.
MAHALO NUI LOA!
