Event production across Hawaiʻi
I design the show, get the right quotes, book the vendors and run the day. You get one number to call and a budget you can actually read.
Producing in Hawaiʻi is mostly logistics. Freight takes longer. Neighbor island trucks ride the barge. Hotels have in-house AV contracts, patch fees and house riggers. Power at a park means a generator and a permit. None of it is hard if you’ve done it before, and all of it gets expensive if you haven’t.
- Scope and budget. We agree on what the show needs and what it should cost before anyone takes a deposit.
- Design. Stage, audio, video, lighting and power, sized to the room and the budget.
- Quotes. I get competing quotes from trusted local vendors and show you the comparison side by side.
- Booking. Each vendor either contracts with you directly or bills through Nalu Media. You pick whichever is simpler for your accounting.
- Advance. Schedules, crew calls, load-in windows, venue paperwork and insurance certificates.
- Show. I run it, from load-in to the last case on the truck.
- Wrap. Vendors paid, final invoice out, and a debrief while it’s fresh.
How the money works
You see every vendor’s number. Some vendors contract with you and I coordinate them. Others bill through me and show up as a line on my proposal. My producer fee is a percentage of the production I manage, with a minimum, and it sits on its own line.
If a vendor pays me a referral commission when you book them directly, I’ll tell you. I choose vendors for the show, not for the commission.
Any size
I build productions for a forty-person board retreat and for multi-day conferences with seven-figure production budgets. The process is the same. The spreadsheet is longer, the crew list is longer, and the advance starts earlier.
Tell me about the show.
Date, room, rough headcount, and whatever is keeping you up at night. I answer every request myself, usually the same day.
