    My husband and I recently got married at Kualoa Ranch and we are so glad we hired Manoa Productions for our videography! Charlene was so responsive and easy to communicate with in the lead-up to the wedding and our videographer, Marty, did an amazing job capturing our special day.

    We didn't have a big budget for our videography but Manoa Productions is a very affordable option and the finished products were outstanding! We were amazed by how quickly we received the videos (just a few weeks after the wedding!) and it's been so wonderful to share them with friends and family, especially those who couldn't travel to Hawaii to be with us. Our wedding day flew by and being able to re-live the special moments like reciting our vows, our first dance and hearing our guests' laughter is simply priceless to us now. My husband was on the fence about hiring a videographer and now he wishes we'd hired them for longer!

    We'd definitely recommend getting the highlight video, too -- it's the perfect length (15 minutes) that captures the best moments of the day! If you need a videographer, Manoa Productions is a fantastic choice and we can't thank them enough for the incredible job they did for us!

    My husband and I just renewed our 20 year wedding vows in Kapolei and Charlene/Robbin filmed our celebration. WOW! They were so warm, friendly, professional, accommodating... and we met them for the first time on the wedding date, 11.28.14.

    I am a wedding coordinator and I look for excellent customer service. I could not have asked for more. I asked Charlene if she could get our video highlight sooner than later and we received it on Christmas Eve. What a great gift! Amazing job also on it... It was funny, cute and sentimental.

    I wish I lived closer to them so I could recommend them to all of my clients but I live in California.

    Consider Manoa Productions for your wedding/event. You won't regret the investment!

    I'm so happy to have chosen Manoa Productions! We're from Canada and uneasy about booking vendors in Hawaii without meeting anyone face to face. Charlene put me at ease with a Skype chat and made me feel comfortable. We just received our video, wow! Thank you Charlene! Everything you promised was delivered and then some. Cheers to you and Manoa Productions.

    Manoa Productions is awesome! We hired them for our wedding and they exceeded or expectations! Charlene is an amazing videographer and made us feel calm and comfortable. She turned around our video very quickly and we were amazed with the results. We are so happy to have such an amazingly documented piece of history of our most special day. MAHALO!!!

    Manoa Productions was great! We got a same-day edit of our ceremony to show to our guests at our reception. They were able to capture many different scenes that made the video enjoyable. The quality of the video and edit was great! They were professional and laid-back, and helped us feel at-ease too. Here are the awesome points:
    - Punctual and knew what they were doing
    - Very creative and had ideas on nice scenes
    - Professional and easy to work with
    - Local feel
    - Communicated well
    - High quality equipment that translates into high quality video
    - Awesome same-day edit

    Manoa Productions's reply:

    Thank you! The most important aspect of an awesome video, is an awesome couple and family. When there's real love between a couple is comes through on video:) Cheers to you guys!

    Thank you so much Charlene and Colin not only for capturing our wedding day in a beautiful video, but for all of your amazing help and thoughtfulness leading up to the wedding, keeping us comfortable and relaxed the day of, and for crafting a gorgeous video that we will be watching over and over again.

    My husband and I planned our Hawaiian wedding from Portland, OR using recommendations, internet searches & the general feeling we got from phone/email conversations. We found Manoa productions via an internet search, as we were initially looking for a videographer to live-stream our wedding. Although Manoa productions does not live-stream, they do offer a 'same-day-upload' video option. We decided to move forward with this option & could not have been more pleased with the entire process. First of all, Colin and Charlene are readily accessible via email and responded promptly with useful, helpful information. The guided us through some different packages, made suggestions and were flexible in working to capture our wedding video needs. We were impressed from the start with them!

    We met Charlene on the day of our wedding & she was so easy and comfortable to work with. Something important for our small, intimate wedding was to be sure our friends/family back home had a way to be a part of our ceremony. Colin and Charlene shot a beautiful wedding video, did some editing and added a few special touches (music, etc) & had our wedding video up the next morning. Our family and friends were so happy to view the ceremony online & many of them commented on the quality of the video and it's ability to capture the true essence of our wedding. Colin and Charlene accomplished exactly what we wanted- to make our family/friends feel like they were at our ceremony. Everything truly exceeded our expectations.

    Top notch all around the board- service, quality, communication, overall ease to work with, friendliness, professionalism- I HIGHLY recommend Manoa productions.

    Thanks guys!

    Julie & Cobin

    Thank you Julie & Corbin. We were honored to be a part of your special day. I was a true pleasure to work with such genuine people. Take care, and again, congratulations!

    They were on the lower end budget-wise so I was concerned at first, but after reviewing their work we decided to give them a shot for our wedding. They were probably the best value out of all of our vendors. They were just as good as the other videographers that charged $1000+ more. Pleasantly surprised and nowhere near disappointed. They were also very friendly.

    Charlene and Colin were amazing to work with. They were super professional and took the time to get to know us and what we wanted. They worked with our budget and we are so happy with the final products. The video montage was our favourite part and our friends and family who couldn't be at the wedding were so happy to see it.
    We would highly recommend using this service. You will not be disappointed.

    Charlene and Colin were easy to communicate with and produced a wonderful video of our wedding. They videod parts of the wedding we would have never known about, and some parts we forgot! I'm thankful we chose to do a video, and more that we chose Manoa Productions. Thank you!!!

    I cannot express how impressed I was about Manoa Productions, from the first phone call to reciving our Video just today. I researched and researched online for the best Videographer that I could afford and I could trust. I have never met them in person until after I walked down the Aisle and I have to say they followed through with every single promise and MORE. Communication was amazing and prompt, they were so geniune and loving when we met even while and during my receptions just with a loving smile. I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye and I felt awful!! I HIGHLY recommend using this for those brides doing reseach online. Take it from me, i did it blindly and I'm throughly impressed and excited. Now the most importatn part, THE PRODUCT (Video) - simply amazing. Exactly what I wanted for my memories. Since the day goes by so fast I wasn't able to capture all moments they truly captured it for me and I'm forever GREATFUL!!!! Thank you to both of you and I will continue to recommend your great service!!!

    Aloha - Charisse Padiilla

    Manoa Productions's reply:

    Charisse, Filming your wedding was an honor. And don't feel bad about not saying goodbye, you were dancing and having fun - why interrupt such joy? Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We wish you and David (and the little one) the best!

    Charlene and Colin of Manoa Productions were Amazing from beginning to end. We were so impressed by their professionalism, service, quality, creativity, communication, value -- everything exceeded our expectations, and that says a lot considering the high standards we held for such an important occasion. We did a lot of research when searching for a wedding photographer and we truly feel we got the Best of the Best. Thanks Manoa Productions!

    Booked with another videographer but they cancelled a month before. Called Manoa Productions and by luck they had our date open. They mostly worked through our planner so I can't really comment on much else. The video was awesome and we got it in 3 weeks.

    They are one of best wedding videographers in Hawaii. I was going to go with Kaimedia but they never responded to my email. Its run by a married couple, and they gave us a great deal because I wined on the phone a little.

    Very professional video team. The Blu-ray was amazing. They also did a short little music video to play at our reception because my husband is in a band. I highly recommend them - very creative.

    We LOVE our video! Especially since we got to watch it on blueray. After we bought one of their packages they insisted we get everything on blueray, and when we told them we didn't have a blueray player, we got one in the mail from them a week later. What kind of business does that? They are artists that care about their customers.

    Manoa Productions is very easy to work with. We chose them because we wanted a elegant style that fit our wedding. Plus their prices aren't a ripoff like the others. And who better to film your wedding then a married couple!

    Manoa Productions is very professional and easy to work with. I must admit, I was a bit of a pain to handle. I sent countless emails to our vendors making sure things were right, and Charlene always responded right away. Initially, we didn't think much of having a wedding video. But when we got the video in the mail two weeks later we were surprised by the detail that went into it. I didn't fully realize how beautiful our wedding truly was. Thank you Colin and Charlene for making sure we'll never forget.

    Thank you Manoa Productions for everything! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional quality video at a reasonable price. We're from California and we initially were referred to another videographer through our planner. We loved their sample videos, but they wanted 5 grand for a video. Then we found Manoa Productions at half the cost, with what seemed to be higher quality with a full day of filming. We couldn't pass it up and we're glad we didn't

    Charlene and Colin are the cutest husband and wife team. We were looking for a videographer that could do a same day edit and slideshow to play at the reception. They had the video ready in two hours and brought me, my husband and guests to tears. They posted it online the next day and we sent it to all of our relatives on the east coast. It was so important to our family to see our wedding online, and Charlene and Colin recognized that. I got the sense that truly love their job. I highly, highly recommended Manoa Productions to anyone!

    I enthusiastically recommend Manoa Productions! My wife and I had a rough time planning our wedding. It seemed like something went wrong every week! We changed venues twice, among other complications, and after everything was said and done, Colin and Charlene were the only vendors that stuck with us. It seems like they actually understand the chaos that comes with planning a wedding. We started with the Aloha package and ended up with the Leilani package because it was such a great deal. Other videographers were outrageously expensive because we were a destination wedding. I still don't understand why. Colin and Charlene were understanding, and didn't jack up their prices. You two are the best! Thank you so much.
