    Oh boy, what to say about my experience with Kani Events. First off I have worked with Crichton for years as a fellow vendor and let me tell you, he is the best of the best!!! Every wedding we worked together I saw how happy the B&G were to have him in their corner. So when it came to planning my wedding, of course he was the first vendor I booked!  Kani Events were able to handle all logistics thrown their way - setting up sound at 2 separate locations for the ceremony and reception; provided sound for 2 different solo musicians and a main live band... THE GREEN! Keep in mind this was in the backyard of my family's home, so it was full hands on deck to make sure we had sufficient power & didn't blow out any circuits during the event.. but Crichton & his team were able to handle everything with ease. They went above & beyond to make sure our day went exactly how we envisioned.  Not only is Crichton very knowledgeable in his craft, he is so down to earth and personable. He really makes you feel like family! If you booked him for DJ and sound, you must book him for your MC. I love the balance he has of professionalism, helping guide the timeline throughout the night, while keeping it fun for guests in the most genuine way. I have only the best things to say about Crichton and his team. We plan to use them for other events in the future and will always recommend them to others. The only thing I wish we did was take a photo with the team and had more time to dance the night away. Nevertheless, it was the perfect day for us! Thank you so much Crichton!! We love you guys & can't wait to work with you again in the future!!

    Crichton was an incredible Emcee for my husband and I's wedding. He also helped with sound and music during my ceremony. He was considerate, cautious, caring, respectful, kind. I could go on and on. He helped make sure everything was planned down the T and even ensured that things were taken care of that I hadn't thought of. His crew was efficient, and prompt. I couldn't have asked for a better Emcee.

    When we said we wanted a rager with 300 of our closest family and friends, Kani Events understood the assignment! Crichton and his team were amazing to work with and accommodated our every request. We had a lot of different parts to our wedding and they made sure everything went without a hitch. Crichton's set up was perfect for our large outdoor venue and even though we had a lot of folks standing in the back for the ceremony, they were able to hear us loud and clear. I didn't realize how much sound equipment could make or break a wedding ceremony until we went to a few where we could barely hear what was going on. We were very thankful to have Crichton and his team! We also had a family friend do live music for our reception and Crichton was very organized and brought in equipment that they were able to hook up to. The sound transitions (and I'm guessing equipment transitions to different areas around the venue) from our ceremony to our cocktail hour to our reception, between our playlists and the live music were so seamless, I didn't even notice what they did... :D Just that no matter where we were in the day, the music and mics were on point for what was happening at that time. :) Crichton made sure our entire program ran sooo smoothly with his expert MC skills. We had a bit of a lengthy one, with games, speeches, a bonzai, and a shot toast from the bride and groom. Throughout the night, he added little quips here and there, playing off of the speeches and games. He was so personable, yet professional, that all of our guests, young adults and elderly, loved him. As many times as you may review the timeline, other things always pop up! We love how Crichton was also super flexible in making spur of the moment announcements as needed without interrupting the flow of the program. The music throughout the rest of the night was perfect. Kani Events kept the energy of the crowd going and let their music choices speak for themselves. They even worked with my husband when he said he wanted to do a spontaneous karaoke moment to sing Angel by Shaggy to me in front of the entire group. The dance floor was PACKED. We really had our dream wedding rager that we always wanted and we are still getting stellar reviews about how much of a great time everyone had thanks to Kani Events. All that being said, Crichton has been a longtime family friend of my husbands. He DJ'd and did the sound for my husband's grad party in 2009 as well as my sister in law's wedding many years ago. They both speak so highly of him and how not only is he a talented DJ and emcee, but a great human being. It was our honor and pleasure to work with him. For big one-in-a-lifetime events like this, there is nobody else we would have trusted more.

    If we could give Crichton more than 5 stars, we absolutely would! He was our officiant, MC, and DJ -- truly a one man show who completely made our wedding unforgettable. From start to finish, Crichton went above and beyond in every way possible. He came highly recommended by our wedding planner, who told us, "If I were getting married, he's the only person I'd want." We were curious how one person could do it all... but wow, did he ever exceed our expectations. Crichton met with us multiple times to go over every detail, responded to every email, call, and even those late-night bridezilla texts! We wanted to incorporate a lot of Hawaiian culture into our ceremony, and he absolutely nailed it -- it was heartfelt, meaningful, and so authentic. Our guests are still talking about how amazing he was. The dance floor was LIT all night long, thanks to him! When we look back on our wedding, we're still blown away by how special he made it. Crichton didn't just meet our expectations -- he redefined them. We're forever grateful for him and how he turned the best day of our lives into something truly magical. Mahalo nui loa, Crichton -- you da best!

    Best Man and Maid of Honor surprised us with a live performance during their speeches - Crichton had the whole set up ready to go!

    There are truly no words big enough to express how grateful we are for Crichton and the Kani Events team. Having Crichton as our wedding DJ and emcee wasn't just a great choice--it was one of the very best decisions we made for our entire day. From the very first conversation, he made choosing our songs and program for the entire day feel effortless. The planning process for our program was so easy and relaxed because he was always very organized, thoughtful, and professional. We knew we picked the best DJ and emcee from the start. But nothing could have prepared us for just how magical he made our wedding day. An emcee truly sets the tone for how the whole event is going to go and Crichton set the tone perfectly. Our wedding day ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all included a mix of both DJ and live music. Crichton managed it all flawlessly. The set-ups of different performance spaces were professionally put together and operated perfectly. From the song choices to the enchantment of the up lights that lit up our venue in the best way, Crichton just knew exactly what to do and say to bring together the whole vibe. Crichton didn't just play music throughout the evening; he listened, adapted, and truly read the crowd in a way that made the whole night feel alive. Every transition was so smooth, every moment felt intentional, and when the dancing started... no one wanted to stop! We genuinely danced the night away in bliss, surrounded by joy, energy, and songs that felt so perfectly us. Our guests are still talking about how fun the night was, and so much of that is because of him. Crichton brought heart, warmth, and an energy that made the entire celebration unforgettable. We are endlessly thankful for the care he poured into our special day. We'll cherish all the special moments he made on our wedding day forever. If you want a DJ and emcee who will not only elevate your wedding but pour love into it the way a true friend does, choose Crichton and the Kani Events team.

But all jokes aside, I had the privilege to see and listen to Kuldip multiple times from previous events including birthday and weddings. We hired Kooldip Productions for emcee, dj, and sparklers. If there's one thing to know about Kuldip, is that he is THE jack of all trades, the only emcee you need, so look no further! He got the best crew and all-in-one services for your entertainment needs. No matter what type of event it is, he caters to your preferences and is personable. Not only does he want to get to know you, but he genuinely wants to make sure that your event or day is within your expectation and beyond! I did not stress one bit on my wedding day knowing Kuldip was going to run the show! He was very accommodating. Our reception went smoothly and kept everyone entertained and engaged. Our wedding day wouldn't have been AS special without Kooldip Productions, and we are extremely proud to say that we could look back at our wedding day video knowing Kuldip was our emcee along with his crew for our entertainment! If you want to make your vision and event come to life, Kooldip Productions is the only way! Highly recommend! 100000%

We immediately clocked the live mix was so fun and impressive that we asked a Four Seasons employee if they knew who the DJ was. And it was DJ Troy. And after a call with him, we booked him. My partner and I had a long list of must haves from a DJ / entertainment vendor. Our wedding lacked many of the more traditional moments, and we wanted our wedding to be FUN and full of laughter. DJ Troy more than delivered on it all. He was so great to work with from the beginning, and he helped create one of the best nights we've ever had. Nearly every single one of our guests had compliments for DJ Troy. Leading up to the day, DJ Troy had a great music questionnaire for us to fill out and we had an in-depth conversation about what to expect from our guests and the event. He understood our vision for the day, and he wasn't just going to press play on a playlist. He gave us examples and ensured we were all on the same page. He offered his help and advice with even some of the more stressful wedding details outside of entertainment. The fact that he shared his expertise of weddings was so appreciated! On the day of our wedding. DJ Troy curated the perfect vibes. His live mix was so good, and his energy uplifted everyone else's! Our guests were dancing from cocktail hour to the very end of the night. Not only that, but he was an expert with the flow of the event. DJ Troy knew exactly when the right time for certain parts of programming was, and he helped our coordinator move the event along in a way that made it even more enjoyable. If you want to be dancing and laughing all night without a single worry, we would strongly recommend DJ Troy for your event.

He never missed a cue during the more structured programming, our dance floor was never empty (he even had our parents and older family members out on the dance floor), and we loved every single song he played (including some more obscure picks that brought the house down). Our friends and family still rave about our dance floor. His set-up is also really lovely with the LCD screen, which we loved. Troy absolutely crushed it, and we couldn't recommend him more highly.
