He plays often all around Hawaii so you're welcome to listen to him before booking if you're on the island. He provided a discount to pay up front and worked with our budget.

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.

Randy was quick to respond and created a short recording of Canon and it was just what we were looking for. Prior to the wedding Randy was always very professional and responsive and worked with us to pick out songs etc. The day of the wedding Randy showed up early and was all set up before things started to get busy. He played both the ukulele and sang with his guitar during our ceremony and reception. His music and voice is really great and just an awesome guy to be at your wedding. Highly recommend.

Simple Souls is absolutely AMAZING. They blew me away every time I heard them (and after the first…read moretime, I went out of my way to hear them several more times, knowing my time on the island was unfortunately limited). Both of their voices are incredible -- rich, dynamic, versatile (hip-hop, pop/rock, ballads [only a few of the latter though, as these aren't napping performances], etc.), and with complementary ranges. And the variety of sound they get out of their two instruments is just incredible -- it's easy to forget that all they've got is a djembe and a guitar. This is also not your normal cover band (even your normal great cover band) -- Simple Souls puts their own spin on popular songs, which do the songs complete justice while not simply redoing what the original artists put out. I've recommended them to numerous people I know (plus a few strangers when I've found any possible excuse) and now I'm recommending them to you -- go see them! They're at LuLu's in Waikiki most Sunday nights (which doesn't have the best acoustics, unfortunately), and otherwise around the island.

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.

I requested a cellist and a few days prior to the wedding, they told me they got it mixed up and they accidentally hired a guitarist instead. So they really made an effort which I do appreciate and called all over the island and couldn't find a single cellist. The keyboardist they hired only played 2 songs and wasn't able to play the other songs I asked for so we had to have 2 songs streamed from Spotify/iTunes but we still had to pay the full sum for her. They're really nice people so I was trying to be okay with it but 6 months later and I'm still sad there was no cellist at my wedding.

Kika Inc thank you soooo much for making our wedding as beautiful as it was!…read more Erin was so helpful aiding us in figuring out exactly what we wanted. She emailed us mp3's of different songs/styles, was extremely responsive when emailing or calling back and forth, and really stayed on top of everything up until the day of the wedding. We absolutely LOVED our ukulele soloist Henry. We couldn't have asked for more!! He played and sang my requested song acoustically (so romantic sounding!) as I walked down the aisle and made the moment just as I had always imagined. We had asked if he could learn "our song" a few months before the wedding, and play it for our first dance. I was informed that if it's a Hawaiian song, it shouldn't be a problem... but our song was definitely not Hawaiian, and kind of a soft rock song. Erin told me she would play it for Henry and see if he was willing to learn it. A week later, she said he already knew how to play it!! It really made our first dance extra special when Henry sang our song. He actually made it sound a little bit hawaiian-ish and put his own twist on it, which I totally loved!!!! All of our guests kept coming up to me throughout the night and telling me how great he sounded, and how ever did we find such a great musician. :) Awesome, music to a bride's ears hehehe. He was very generous with his equipment too, allowing us to (unexpectedly) hook up the iPod for a Michael Jackson dance that two of our 7 year old guests had been choreographing since cocktail hour hahaha. The night couldn't have been any more perfect thanks to Henry!!! If I needed any kind of entertainment for any event, I would contact Kika Inc right away and book their services. They have everything you need! Dancers, performers, musicians, bands, hula dancers, DJs, etc. I am so happy we found Kika, and want to give them the kudos they definitely deserve!!

I listened to Tahiti Rey many times at many events and venues over the years. When she sings, it…read moreoften seems like she is either trying way too hard or not at all. 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?

I recommend checking out Yoza or Kimie Miner who are some of the best and freshest artists in Hawaii.

Kani Events made our wedding absolutely MAGICAL!…read more We cannot say enough amazing things about Crichton and the entire Kani Events team! We booked their complete party package, which included our officiant, MC, and DJ, plus a really cool DJ booth with our photo and name, uplighting, ceremony and cocktail hour music, and more! Honestly, choosing them was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, the entire planning process was so organized, professional, and seamless. Everything was communicated clearly, and Crichton made us feel confident that all the little details were being taken care of. As the wedding day got closer, we could see everything we had planned finally coming together, and watching it all unfold was truly magical. But what made Crichton so special was how much he celebrated with us. He wasn't just our officiant, MC, and DJ, he genuinely felt like someone we had known for years. He brought such a fun, warm, and personal energy to our wedding, and you could tell he truly wanted us to have the best night possible. His energy and vibe was warm and welcoming like he blended in with our family and friends! He also did an AMAZING job bringing our entire party together. From keeping the reception flowing to getting everyone on the dance floor, he knew exactly how to read the room and keep the energy going. Our family and friends could not stop talking about him afterward. We heard nothing but amazing things about Crichton and how much fun he was! One of the biggest compliments we can give is that he made us feel like guests at our own wedding. We didn't have to worry about what was happening next or whether everything was being handled, we were able to actually relax, enjoy ourselves, dance, celebrate, and soak in every moment with our family and friends. That is priceless on your wedding day. Crichton is the perfect combination of professional, organized, fun, personable, and genuinely caring. His team was also absolutely incredible and did such an awesome job working together to make everything run smoothly. If you are planning a wedding or ANY large event, we would HIGHLY recommend Kani Events! They truly know how to put on an unforgettable event, and we are so grateful they were such a huge part of ours. Thank you, Crichton and the entire Kani Events team, for helping make our wedding everything we dreamed it would be and more! We will never forget how much fun we had and how special you made our day. 10/10 -- book them!! You will NOT regret it!
