They brought everything needed, including sound systems, microphones, and lights. Jason was professional, friendly, helpful, and very organized.

So when my now husband and I…read morestarted planning our April 2025 wedding we knew immediately who to contact for our DJ and emcee services because we had so much fun at their program and dancing along to their set. Jason coordinated and provided the DJ, Photobooth and Uplight Services. He and his team did a fantastic job. The uplights paired so well with our wall drapery and elevated the space. My husband and I along with our guests had a blast with the photobooth. Also, one of the highlights of the evening was when Jason played our requested Filipino songs- Awitin Mo at Isasayak Ko- and the crowd went nuts haha. Core memory for sure! Justin provided the emcee services and did a fantastic job with engaging our guests. Justin was also meticulous and took the time to get to know me and my husbands details like how we met, our favourite color and more to ensure a seamless program! If you are on the fence about getting this duo and their team, I hope this review would help in making your choice! They are professional, has timely and great communication, and most importantly they are fun and that translates to the crowd! Mahalo Jason, Justin and the Ono Kine Entertainment crew for making our wedding celebration so special for us and our families.

After contacting numerous sound companies around Oahu, David with Akahi had the best pricing and options. He was very responsive and always responded to inquiries in a timely manner. Due to unforeseen circumstances, my original emcee had to cancel a few days prior to the event. I contacted David to ask about hiring an emcee and he offered to provide the emcee services at NO ADDITIONAL cost (Awesome)! On the day of the event, David arrived early with ample time to set up. I experienced technical difficulties when trying to set up my slide show, and David went out of his way to help me get the stressful situation resolved even though it was not his responsibility. The sound equipment he used was perfect for the event and I even received compliments from the bands that David did an excellent job providing sound for them. If you are looking to book a sound man for your next event, consider contacting David at Akahi Productions. You will not be disappointed in his service! Mahalo plenty to David and Akahi Productions! I will definitely be using them again for all my future events.

We've only been part of the 24VII Dance Studio family for about six months, but the growth we've…read moreseen in my 8-year-old daughter in such a short time has been incredible! From the very beginning, our entire family has felt genuinely welcomed, supported, and included. There is a real sense of community here, and it's clear that the directors and instructors truly care about their dancers, both inside and outside the studio. Having been familiar with other dance offerings on the island, I can confidently say there is nothing quite like 24VII in Hawaii. The level of training, creativity, industry experience, and opportunities they bring to their dancers is truly something special. Just look at their alumni and what they've gone on to accomplish! The talent and experience behind this studio are incredible, and having that level of professional industry knowledge and exposure right here in Hawaii is such a gift. What I appreciate most is that 24VII doesn't just teach kids how to dance. They teach discipline, accountability, work ethic, confidence, and the importance of pushing beyond your comfort zone. They challenge their dancers, set high expectations, and encourage them to put in the work. These are lessons that extend far beyond the dance floor and will stay with them throughout life. In just six months, we've watched my daughter grow tremendously, not only in her technique and versatility, but also in her confidence, creativity, and willingness to try new things. The variety of offerings is another huge standout. From different dance styles and training levels to workshops, master classes, performances, competitions, and opportunities to learn from industry professionals, there are so many ways for dancers to explore and grow. And while the studio offers incredible opportunities for dancers who want to train seriously, I also want to emphasize that 24VII is absolutely a place for recreational dancers, too! Whether you're a child or an adult, looking to take one class a week just for fun or wanting to pursue dance at a much higher level, there is something for everyone. You can do as much or as little as fits your interests, goals, and schedule. That flexibility and inclusiveness make the studio even more special. Another offering that really speaks to the heart of this studio is their Heartbeat program. It's such a meaningful initiative and a reflection of their commitment to making a difference beyond dance. Programs like this show that 24VII is about so much more than running a business. And I think that's ultimately what sets them apart. You can genuinely feel that this studio isn't simply about making money or filling classes. It's about investing in people, creating opportunities, building character, and helping young dancers grow into confident, hardworking, creative individuals. The dance training is exceptional, but the life lessons and sense of belonging are just as valuable. We're incredibly grateful to have found 24VII. It's a special place with special people who are doing something pretty extraordinary for the dance community here in Hawaii!

Testimonial- My…read morefiance and I, from Seattle, WA, faced the task of planning a destination wedding, which involved sending many e-mails and choosing a musician for our reception sight unseen. I was searching for a musician that was modern, edgy, and yet that would have a classic "beachfront wedding"vibe. When I watched Sean Cleland's music video, "Salary Man," I knew he had exactly the sound I was looking for. And he delivered! During the reception, guests commented that he had a very soothing voice and excellent guitar skills. Also, while e-mailing back and forth he was very patient and understanding as I was working to sort through the event timeline.

She covers all types of genres and sounds in such a wonderful way and can definitey learn and do specific songs of your choosing. She'll let you know what's possible. No doubt, she's got an absolutely beautiful voice and she's so talented she can make any songs 'hers', but I gotta point out to how genuinely friendly and nice she is, too. Her presense will enhance your celebration/gathering in a positive way. And isn't that the point of any party? Tahiti works with a lot of other muscians and on our event day it was her musical partner and other half of Cellar Door, Jarred Roberts. OMG, that gentleman is SUPER talented! Together they were like this musical dream.Their sound created this undeniable cool vibe to our party. At any given point during the party, I'd notice people would literally stop what they were doing and just watch them. Actually, because Tahiti is a pretty prominent figure on the local music scene, one of our attendees was star struck and said, "Oh my God, is that Tahiti Rey? I love her! I tried to book her for my wedding but she wasn't available, I have her album!" One word... Awesomness. lol. Alright nuff sed, just book'em ah-ready.

Her little "riffy talks" in-between songs are her chance to virtue signal. You know people who act humble and selectively vulnerable when they know everyone is watching? There are much better artists to see that give their absolute all and have a charm that is special and unique to Hawaii. I recommend checking out Yoza or Kimie Miner who are some of the best and freshest artists in Hawaii. If you are considering booking Tahiti for your wedding, reconsider, she is twice divorced and a curse to any marriage.

From the very beginning, Brandon was incredibly kind, professional, and easy to work with. He communicated with me by phone and text, which made everything simple and smooth during a time when I had so many things on my mind. We were able to quickly secure the date, and the booking process was very easy. I paid the deposit through Venmo and the balance at the event. On the day of the service, Brandon handled everything beautifully. His setup and breakdown were effortless, and his music created such a meaningful atmosphere throughout the entire evening. During the funeral program, his music added a level of comfort and reflection that truly touched everyone in attendance. What made the day even more special was the music he played during the dinner reception afterward. It brought warmth to the room and allowed family and friends to gather, share memories, and celebrate my mom's life together. One moment that meant so much to me personally was when Brandon took the time to learn a song just for the service -- "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack. Hearing that song played live during the service was incredibly emotional and moving. Many people who attended told me how powerful and beautiful that moment was. Later on, Brandon shared with me that he now performs that song at other events because of how meaningful it was. Knowing that a small piece of my mom's memory continues through the music he plays is something that means a lot to me. If you are ever looking for someone to provide music for a special event, I cannot recommend Brandon Onishi enough. His professionalism, talent, and genuine care truly made a difference on a day that meant everything to my family.

What really set Annie apart was how she took the stress completely off our shoulders and let us enjoy the planning process instead of dreading it.
