Marvin sang at our small wedding in Maui. Our wedding planner with White Orchid Weddings introduced us to Marvin as one of the possible live musicians... so thankful we went with it!! what a beautiful voice! He was wonderful and set the perfect ambiance for the wedding. When we didn't know which songs to pick, he helped us out! Book Marvin and you won't be disappointed! read more

I just attended a wedding at the Royal Lahaina and he was the musician for the ceremony and cocktail hour. I rarely leave reviews but he was SO GOOD that we had to show our support and love! For the ceremony, the quality of his ukulele and voice sounds straight from a CD - clean, beautiful, perfect. However, what sold us was what he played during cocktail hour. He played a variety of songs from Hip Hop to Bruno mars and other pop song. He made them sound beautiful with the ukulele and appropriate for all ages. He was so creative and entertaining. We were all vibing to him and asking for his instagram. We even joked that he should go on American Idol because he has a good chance of winning. Thank you again for adding such beautiful music to the wedding! read more

Marvin was absolutely amazing at my sister's wedding! Beautiful voice and soul. I had so many guests come up to me saying how lovely his music was. He is a must have for your wedding or special occasions. Support local artists :) read more

My husband and I were Lahaina residents and planned to marry in October 2023. We wanted to hire vendors with strong roots on Maui and Marvin is a lifelong Lahaina resident. He is an extremely talented musician who also happens to be a well-respected MPD officer. We had the privilege of hearing him perform before we were engaged and it was no-brainer he would be our musician for the wedding ceremony and cocktail reception. My husband and I lost our home and everything else in the Lahaina fire, 2 months shy of our wedding. Marvin did too. This meant we had to plan a second wedding later in 2024 and didn't know which vendors would still be around. We were so happy to hear Marvin could still participate. If you want someone with a beautiful voice, gifted musician and all-around great person in the Lahaina community, Marvin is THE guy! Mahalo Marvin! We "lava" that you could be part of our long-awaited special day and thank you for all you do for our community. read more

Beautiful voice and lovely hula dance! cannot recommend Marvin enough for your venue or special event.

Marvin is amazing! Incredible ukulele player with a wonderful voice and super positive vibe! He was having fun and we were loving it. Our group of 20 visiting Maui were lucky enough to have Marvin come entertain us at our condo complex right on the ocean. He also surprised us and brought along his sister, Kilihune, who is a fantastic hula dancer. Her performances added so much to the experience. Highly recommend Marvin for your event. read more

Marvin performed at our wedding last week in Maui and his beautiful voice and ukulele playing made out wedding so special!

Marvin was recommended to us by several people, and he was the perfect choice for our wedding! He blended his beautiful music with our ceremony perfectly, he is a true professional and we highly recommend him! Mahalo, Marvin!! read more

Our wedding was in June and i'm still dreaming about it! We were so lucky to have booked Marvin, he is so talented. We always wanted a Ukulele to be played, so Marvin gave us a large list of songs to choose from but we ended up opting for a special song upon request and he delivered! His voice is beautiful, I couldn't imagine it any other way. Mahalo, Marvin!! read more

If I could give Marvin a million stars, I would--five just doesn't cut it. We hired him for our Maui beach wedding, and he blew us away. His ukulele playing & singing voice are pure magic; he learned our requested songs & made them his own in a way that gave me chills. But what really got me was his officiating. His words were so beautiful & heartfelt that I was tearing up during the ceremony--happy tears, of course! He has this warm, genuine way about him that made the whole day feel so special. I stumbled across Marvin while searching for ukulele musicians, & was so lucky he was free on our date. Then I found out he's also an officiant, which was a total game-changer. We'd been struggling to find someone who didn't feel stiff or generic, & Marvin was the real deal--especially meaningful for us since we wanted a local Hawaiian touch for our wedding. When I learned he & his family lost everything in the Maui fires, it hit home even harder. Supporting him felt right, not just because of his talent, but because he's a local gem who deserves it. What sealed it for me? Everyone we worked with on the island knew Marvin & couldn't stop singing his praises--vendors, planners, you name it. They'd light up talking about how great he is, how much he gives to the community, & how he somehow juggles being a police officer on top of all this. How does he do it? No clue, but he's incredible. If you're on the fence, book Marvin. You're not just getting a talented musician & officiant--you're supporting one of Maui's finest, & he'll make your day unforgettable. read more

One of the things all of our guests have collectively said was what a wonderful musician we had perform at our ceremony. We were lucky to secure Marvin and are so happy that we did! The little snippets I was able to hear while running around taking pictures were spot-on! Not only did he learn a song for the bridal walk, it was performed perfectly with his spin on it. Marvin's voice is so smooth that it was a pleasure to listen to the entire time we were there. I would highly recommend Marvin to anyone looking for a musician for their event! read more

I can't possibly express how grateful and pleased I am to have had Marvin Tevaga provide his beautiful talent for my wedding.

If you have not booked Martin Tevaga you are truly missing out! In a true emergency we were looking for a singer for a small family funeral on Lanai' HI. I looked up reviews and found Martin had such great things said about him. We asked if he was willing to travel and let him know the circumstances, he was happy to help. We asked him to perform a very casual service and every choice of music he had was perfect. He sang kanaka wai wai and afterwords I had so many people tell me how beautiful his voice was. There are not enough good things I could say about him. Extremely professional, punctual, and one of the most beautiful voices I have heard. I wish there were more than five read more

I originally stumbled upon Marvin on YouTube while trying to find someone who could play the ukulele for our wedding in December of 2018. I was absolutely blown away by Marvin's talent and vocal ability. (As someone with family in the music industry, I'll admit I'm fairly picky on this front!) I figured out Marvin's name from the video and found his website so that I could reach out to see if he was available for our rehearsal dinner and our wedding ceremony. We were so pleased with Marvin's performance. He was such a wonderful, kind person as well, which made it even better! I need to give extra special thanks to Marvin and his wife, because our wedding day was also his wedding anniversary. Luckily, his wife was kind enough to give him the ok to perform for our ceremony, even though they also had just had another baby a couple of weeks before!! Thank you so much for allowing us to take a couple of hours out of your special day as well. Marvin- When we come back to Maui we'll have to see if you're around as we'd love to say hello!! Thank you for adding to our fantastic day! read more

Simply put - Marvin made our wedding dreams come true. His talent will bring happy tears to your eyes and joy to your guests. We had to move our wedding date a number of times due to COVID, which was horrible and deflating. When people asked us why we just didn't go the courthouse route, we had two reasons: we wanted our wedding to be memorable after the pain of moving it so many times, and we couldn't imagine our wedding day without Marvin. He was just that important to us. We had to change almost all of our other vendors, but it was worth it as long as we had Marvin on our wedding day. Our wedding coordinator recommended Marvin, and when we heard a sample of his music, we didn't have to consider anyone else. We had Marvin play both a list of songs in Hawaiian and in English for our ceremony and cocktail hour. A few of our guests even begged him to stay longer because they were so moved by his voice and spirit. They couldn't stop raving about him. We definitely want to hire him for our eventual anniversary dinner. If you have the opportunity to hire Marvin for your event, you should take it enthusiastically. Marvin: Mahalo nui loa for all you did for our wedding. read more
