Meet the Makers

Aloha and welcome,

At Makau Makers, every table we create is a reflection of our story — one built on craftsmanship, creativity, and connection. We're Tyler and Lani, a husband and wife team based in the coastal town of Dana Point, California. In 2024, we combined our shared passion for design and hospitality to start Makau Makers, with a simple goal: to build beautiful, custom dining tables that bring people together.

With a background in the hospitality industry, we understand the power of a great gathering space. It’s more than just a place to eat — it’s where stories are shared, memories are made, and life happens. That’s why we handcraft each piece with care, intention, and a commitment to quality.

We’re proud to run our small business from our home woodshop, where we collaborate closely with clients to bring their vision to life. Whether it's a one-of-a-kind dining table for family dinners or a custom piece for your next big celebration, we're here to create something meaningful and made to last.

Thank you for being part of our journey. We look forward to building something beautiful with you. CALL, TEXT OR EMAIL
