Specialties
Next Level Entertainment is a wedding DJ & Entertainment company born and raised in Maui, Hawaii.
We are world class DJs, Emcees, & Lighting FX professionals who know this island inside and out. We've spent the last twenty years doing our favorite thing: making friends with awesome couples while finding unconventional and wild ways to celebrate their love on the most important day of their lives.
Meaningful, not-a-dry-eye in the room moments don't just happen, they're created.
Same with nights filled with laugh-until-we can't breathe, or dance-until-our-legs-fall-off moments. Great weddings always have a great emcee at the helm sensing the crowd, bringing it down to jerk heartstrings for that father-daughter dance, and finding just the right transition back into full swing party mode.
Our passion is bringing unconventional ideas and interactive experiences that carry guests on a journey through your love story.
We're experts at creating some of the most personalized and legendary weddings the industry has to offer. We want your mom crying in happiness, your dad dancing on a table, and all of your aunties telling everyone it was the best night of their lives.
Let's create a legendary experience.
