He played a beautiful guitar/ukulele hybrid and sang with a wonderful voice that set the perfect tone for our day. His music added so much emotion and warmth to the ceremony, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how great he was. Brandon was also fantastic to work with. His communication with us was clear, easy, and always professional. On the wedding day, he coordinated seamlessly with everyone on site, from us to our officiant, making everything feel effortless. His calm, friendly presence and reliability gave us complete confidence. If you're looking for a ceremony musician who brings talent, heart, and professionalism, Brandon Onishi is an incredible choice.

I had the honor of working with Brandon Onishi during one of the most difficult and emotional times…read morein my life -- my mother's funeral. 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.

Even the admin side was seamless, from calendar invites and reminders to templates that helped us think through our music choices. He really listened to the vibe we wanted, while also being willing to tell us when he thought something might not work and suggest something better. And he absolutely nailed it. Guests commented that cocktail hour felt like a trendy bar, dinner had exactly the vibe we wanted, and then there was the dance floor... IT WAS PACKED THE ENTIRE NIGHT. Toshi knew how to read the crowd and somehow always knew exactly what everyone needed next. So many guests told us how much fun they had at our wedding, and the music and energy were a huge part of that. Go hire Toshi to DJ your wedding. Seriously. We were so impressed.

Everyone had so much fun dancing to his tunes, which were a perfect mix of soul, reggae, Latin and pop from various decades. He excels at reading a crowd and isn't afraid to bail on songs that turn out less popular. He took both my pre-selected requests (and "do not play" list) and the requests of other guests, even downloading a reggaeton song to his phone during the party. Also, he and his assistant Faye are a breeze to work with. They respond very quickly to emails and they met with us beforehand to make sure everything was good to go. I'd definitely recommend him for your wedding or any other event. Thanks Bennie and Faye!
