Hawaiian luau entertainment, Polynesian fire knife performances, and full island event production — brought to St. Augustine by Florida’s premier luau company.
St. Augustine’s Hawaiian Luau & Polynesian Entertainment Specialists
St. Augustine is the oldest continuously occupied European settlement in the United States — a city whose 450+ years of history, cobblestone streets, Spanish colonial architecture, and proximity to the Atlantic have made it one of Florida’s most distinctive and beloved destination markets. It is also, somewhat surprisingly, an exceptional setting for a Hawaiian luau. The outdoor event culture, the warm Florida nights, the beachside venues at St. Augustine Beach and Vilano Beach, and the steady flow of destination visitors create ideal conditions for Polynesian entertainment.
Aloha Productions serves St. Augustine and the surrounding Northeast Florida coastal area, producing events at historic district waterfront venues along the Matanzas River, beachfront properties on St. Augustine Beach and Anastasia Island, resort and inn event spaces throughout the St. Johns County area, and private estate celebrations across the region. St. Augustine’s unique combination of history, tourism, and natural beauty creates a distinctive event character that our luau productions complement well.
Our fire knife dance team includes Toa Afi national championship competitors, and our hula dancers are trained in genuine Hawaiian cultural tradition. Against the backdrop of a St. Augustine evening — whether in the historic district or on the Atlantic shore — our performances carry a particular atmosphere.

Types of St. Augustine Events We Produce
Historic District & Matanzas Waterfront Events
St. Augustine’s historic district — the Castillo de San Marcos waterfront, the Bridge of Lions, the bayfront venues along the Matanzas River — provides one of the most atmospheric outdoor event settings in Florida. Waterfront event spaces along the bayfront and in the historic district are natural stages for evening luau productions, where torch light and fire performers create an extraordinary visual atmosphere against the historic architecture.
We are experienced with the specific logistics of historic district events: coordination with St. Augustine city event requirements, sensitivity to the historic setting, and staging that works within the architectural character of the location.
St. Augustine Beach & Anastasia Island Events
St. Augustine Beach on Anastasia Island is a lower-key, residential beach community — quieter and less developed than many Florida beach destinations, which gives it a more intimate and authentic character. Beachfront events here have a natural, uncrowded feel that pairs well with the genuine cultural quality of our luau productions. We produce beachfront and oceanfront events at St. Augustine Beach venues and private Anastasia Island properties.
Destination Weddings in the Ancient City
St. Augustine is one of Florida’s most sought-after destination wedding locations — couples choose it for the historic architecture, the Spanish colonial atmosphere, the Atlantic Coast proximity, and the romantic character of the oldest city in the country. A Hawaiian wedding in St. Augustine layers Pacific Island tradition over one of the most historically rich settings in North America.
We provide traditional Hawaiian blessings, hula performances, live Hawaiian music, and fire knife shows — all coordinated to complement the historic and natural setting of St. Augustine venues. See our full wedding services.
Private Parties & Visitor Celebrations
St. Augustine’s strong tourism market and year-round visitor flow mean that milestone celebrations, group travel parties, and destination event occasions are a constant part of the local event scene. We scale our packages to fit events of any size across St. Johns County — from intimate historic inn receptions to larger productions at beach venues and event centers.
Why St. Augustine Event Planners Choose Aloha Productions
St. Augustine events benefit from Aloha Productions’ experience with historic, outdoor, and destination event settings. Here’s what that means in practice:
- Historic and outdoor venue experience. We understand how to stage productions in historically sensitive, outdoor, and non-standard venue environments. St. Augustine’s event settings are not typical hotel ballrooms — and we’re comfortable in that.
- Championship fire performers. Our Toa Afi fire knife team creates an extraordinary visual atmosphere in St. Augustine’s historic evening settings.
- In-house production. Food from our licensed kitchen, props from our inventory, performers on our team — consistent quality across every element.
- Northeast Florida service area. St. Augustine is within our regular Florida service area. No out-of-state travel overhead.
- One contract for everything. Entertainment, catering, and décor under one agreement — simplifying logistics for destination event planners and couples.
