Entertainment: Candy Art Hawaii

2010-07-28T20:53:00.016-10:00

Candy Art Hawaii entertains guests at various functions with a traditional Japanese art of sculpting hot candy into lollipops of various shapes and animals.

Most people in Hawaii have never seen this ancient Japanese art form. In fact, many locals in Japan have also never seen this dying art. That's why the common comment received from nearly everyone who sees this at baby luaus is, "I've never seen this before, this is so AMAZING!"

Candy Art appeals not only to small children but also to teens, aunties, and grandmas. At parties, it often seems like there are more adults in line than children. So while face painters, balloon artists, jumpers/bouncers, etc typically only entertain children, candy art will entertain all the guests at your function, from young to old. For this reason, Candy Art Hawaii offers a great value in your party budget.

Candy Art Hawaii has packages with an experienced balloon artist from Balloon Monsoon. The balloon artist has almost 15 years of experience entertaining at parties in both Hawaii and Japan. The balloon artist has been to several balloon conferences in Japan and has incorporated the Japanese style of twisting with the established Balloon Monsoon techniques.

The package of candy art and balloon art represents great entertainment value for your party. Balloon art will bring excitement to children, while candy art will entertain the adults too.

Candy Art Hawaii definitely will impress your guests with a unique art that most in Hawaii, America, and even Japan have never seen.

Todai's Waikiki

2008-07-20T13:58:00.004-10:00

It's possible to plan your baby luau or first birthday party at Todai's Waikiki. In years past, Todai's did not take reservations. However, that has seemed to change as baby luaus with about 50 to 100 guests have been held at Todai's. Although there isn't a separate party room, Todai's does block off an entire section of the restaurant to give you that private feel.

Caterer: Marujyu Market

2007-11-25T20:10:00.000-10:00

I was able to sample the traditional Hawaiian menu from Marujyu Market. Not shown in the picture were things like poi, pineapple, etc. The squid luau was particularly sweet and very tasty. The kalua pig really had that smoked taste in it. The chicken long rice was a little dry (although by the time I got to eat, the party was almost over). And the korean style chicken was very tasty, but seemed a little overcooked (again, probably all of the good pieces were already taken). I'm not sure if the host of the party special ordered the chicken, as it is not usually part of a traditional Hawaiian plate, but it was definitely appreciated as not everyone goes crazy over Hawaiian food. Overall, the food was delicious and I would consider this caterer for my own parties.

Venue: Kapolei Recreation Center

2007-11-25T19:39:00.002-10:00

Kapolei Recreation Center is a convenient place to have your baby luau. There is lots of (free) parking. The hall is air conditioned (unlike other rec centers). There is a kitchen that can be used to prep food or keep things cold in a refrigerator. There is a stage that can be used for live bands, magicians, or other entertainment.

The center picture shows an open area next to the hall. This is where the food and drinks are usually kept. Also, extra tables can be set up here if your party is big. However, this area didn't seem like it was air conditioned, but was generally cool. This area is also good for entertainers like balloon artists, face painters, and candy artists to set up and keep the children occupied.

Don't forget to check out Candy Art Hawaii for the newest, most unique entertainment for your baby luau!!!

Basic info:
Day rates = $350
Night rates = $425
Seating capacity = 240 guest

There are other details on their website and in this rental fee form. Of course, you have to live in the area to use the rec center (or know someone).

Venue: The Pineapple Room by Alan Wong

2007-11-24T22:01:00.003-10:00

Hidden within the confines of Macy's 3rd Floor in the Ala Moana Shopping Center is The Pineapple Room by Alan Wong. From the outside, it didn't seem like this would be a good place for a 1st birthday party. It seemed a bit too upscale and meant for elegant dining. However, after going to a 1st birthday party here, this restaurant is more than capable of holding various events.

Dinner was served in the restaurant. What was surprising was that this restaurant has a side room. This particular party used the side room as a play room for children. Entertainers such as balloon artists or face painters can use this room to keep the children busy. There was room for a live band to set up in the restaurant area.

With an extra room to accommodate entertainers and activities, The Pineapple Room by Alan Wong is a practical place to have a party, one that you probably would never have thought of.
