Of all the vendors we worked with for our wedding (and we genuinely loved ALL of them), Toshi was the best. From our very first meeting, he was incredibly professional and thorough, and we immediately knew we were in good hands. 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. read more

We loved working with Toshi and the rest of the SE team for our wedding!!! Everyone danced the whole time

Working with Toshi and his team at Spectrum Entertainment was honestly like hitting the jackpot for our wedding. We still talk about how lucky we were to find them. Not only is Toshi an incredible DJ and MC, but he's the kind of professional who clearly pours his heart into his work. The sound, the lighting, the equipment... everything was top‑tier. You can tell he invests in quality, and it truly elevated the entire atmosphere of our celebration. What really stood out was how present and supportive he was throughout the whole process. From the early planning stages to the final moments of the night, Toshi was right there with us--organized, thoughtful, and always one step ahead. He worked seamlessly with our amazing planner Emmarose from TGA, and together they created a vibe that felt effortless, joyful, and completely "us." Our guests kept telling us how incredible the energy was, and that's 100% thanks to him. The flow of the evening, the transitions, the timing, the way he read the room--it was all spot on. You could feel his experience and passion in every moment. And when it came to the more ambitious parts of our setup, he and his team handled everything with total confidence and professionalism. Nothing felt too big or too complicated for them. If you're looking for a team in Hawaii that brings creativity, vision, and the ability to pull off even the most ambitious production, Spectrum Entertainment is the one. I truly can't recommend them enough. They helped make our wedding unforgettable, and we're so grateful for everything they did to make the day feel magical. read more

Toshi is an amazing MC! He doesn't need a script to entertain the audience. He really brings the energy and keeps the evening flowing smoothly. No one else compares! read more

110% recommend Spectrum Entertainment for your wedding, especially if you're getting married in Hawaiʻi! Toshi was hands down the best DJ/Emcee we could have asked for. He was professional, detail-oriented, easy to talk to, and treated us like family from the very start. The service was next level for sure. Toshi and his team struck the perfect balance: fun, polished, and able to read the room and vibe effortlessly. Nothing ever felt forced or awkward. He kept the energy up, guided the evening smoothly, and made everything feel natural and relaxed. We had several Zoom meetings before the wedding, and Toshi walked us through every part of the night from timeline, transitions, song choices, lighting colors, and setup. He listened closely to what we wanted while also offering his thoughtful professional advice. The flow of the entire event was seamless -from grand entrance to speeches, dinner, and dancing. Toshi even coordinated with our cellist for the ceremony music to make sure everything was timed perfectly, which created such a beautiful moment when we walked down the aisle. We also had a few moments where the venue was giving us some pushback, and Toshi stepped in to advocate for us and make sure things went the way we had planned. That support made a big difference! One thing we really appreciated was his attention to detail and care as he made sure to pronounce every name correctly, which meant a lot to us. The sound quality was also excellent, both for music and the microphones during our ceremony and reception. Every detail felt intentional and handled with care. If you're looking for a DJ/Emcee who is not only experienced and reliable but also incredibly kind, responsive, and easy to work with then reach out to Spectrum Entertainment. I can't say enough how amazing Toshi and his team are. Aloha. read more

We highly recommend Spectrum Entertainment! We had a destination wedding in O'ahu and had the pleasure of working with Toshi, Marcos and LED team for our wedding (outdoors) and after party (indoors). Toshi and Marcos are so incredible to work with. They pay extremely close attention to detail, are very experienced in events, and provide valuable insights throughout the planning process. They communicated with our other vendors such as our planners, venue coordinator, live musician and photo/video team to ensure a successful event. We were in awe of their beautiful LED wall setup on the Ocean Lawn and the LED walls in the ballroom for our After Party. We wanted to focus on guest experience and Spectrum delivered! They setup the LED wall for our guests to upload photos/videos to the big screen and to show our guest celebrity look-a-likes. Toshi collaborated with our videographer ahead of time to setup a live kiss-cam for guest participation, which contributed to our celebration of love. Our guests also enjoyed the CO2 blasts of air during the open dancing! Thank you, Spectrum Entertainment for making our special day so fun and memorable. We wish you guys all the best. read more

Spectrum Entertainment - Cold sparks provided by Spectrum! They worked closely with us to time them perfectly during our first dance. - DJs Near Me

Five stars!!! Spectrum Entertainment surpassed expectations for our wedding at Kualoa Ranch. Toshi and Marcos are professional, friendly, understanding and had us feeling at ease while planning for our big day. They took the time to get to know us as a couple and made sure all of the key details were worked out so wedding day would run smoothly. We had a bunch of must play songs and a good amount of speeches to cue up for the night but Spectrum was 100% on top of it with no hiccups. Marcos had the dance floor absolutely pumping all night and Toshi brought the energy/positive vibes as a top notch MC. These guys are a dynamic duo for sure and all of our guests were raving about them. Have no doubts you're in good hands with this crew. Thank you again for an unforgettable wedding Spectrum Entertainment!!! read more

WOW - where do I even begin with how incredible Marcos and Toshi are?! I could truly write a novel. We just got married 2 weeks ago in a torrential downpour, and our venue basically flooded. Everything that could go wrong, did, but Marcos and Toshi SAVED OUR WEDDING. Most vendors would have given up on us and refused to show up in those weather conditions, but not Spectrum. They were there and ready with the most amazing attitudes and cheering everyone else on and keeping spirits high. We ended up having the most epic reception of all time, all thanks to them. Our friends and family are still in awe at what an amazing time they had - we all feel like we went to a music festival. Some of our friends even seriously thought that Marcos was Steve Aoki hahaha. He was such a good sport wearing the face gems and light up leis and scrunchies we had for our guests. I already know that at every future concert I attend, I will say that my wedding DJ team was better than that. They have so many special effects as well - cold sparks, LED screens, lighting, fog machines - we used all of it and it was AMAZING. We definitely recommend upgrading your package to everything they have, because it made our reception so memorable and special. Even before our crazy wedding happened, Marcos and Toshi were both amazing from day 1 of the planning process. We had a specific vision of what we wanted, and they exceed that with flying colors. They were communicative and helpful and so much fun every step of the way. My husband and I will never be over how amazing Marcos and Toshi are, and we will be forever grateful to them for giving us the most epic wedding of all time, even in the worst conditions. We will be praising them to anyone who will listen forever! We promise they are the best DJ/emcee team to ever exist. Thank you SO much for everything!!!!! read more

After some research, I went with this entertainment company and am SO glad I did! They have great prices and Toshi is very responsive. For our wedding, Christian was our Emcee and DJ, and he is just a charismatic and overall fun guy :). They also did uplighting for me and projected a monogram that my husband and I chose. They showed up on time, were professional, and Was great with the music and emcee services. Bonus points, Christian also helped me record me singing a special song to my husband and the recording was played at our reception. I HIGHLY recommend these guys, and Christian : thank you for helping to make our wedding amazing :) read more

Who's THE BEST? Toshi!! We worked with Toshi for a few years, considering our wedding was initially planned for 2020, and then COVID happened. By the time our wedding was finally replanned for (the last time), we were all prepped and ready to go, many thanks due to Toshi! We had a Zoom chat with him 2 weeks before our wedding in late summer 2021 where we hammered out all the final details, and Toshi was extremely accommodating to work with. Very professional and fun at the same time! He made our wedding reception at the Four Seasons such a success, with all of the music we love, and kept everything on schedule. We had added headaches due to group size restrictions (thank you, COVID), and Toshi did his best to respectfully and tactfully keep the numbers of intermingling guests at bay, which is very difficult when your guests are 5 mai tais deep, lol. We also had a couple of last minute, unforeseen changes occur in the midst of our reception, and Toshi handled those like a pro. He and his team worked like crazy the entire night, but he made it look effortless. After the reception was in the books, he told us to come visit him when we return to Oahu for beers. We really felt like long lost friends after working with him, and will definitely hit him up when we come back! read more

Oh...my..GOD!!!! Toshi was... NO! IS an amazing DJ/MC from the second we spoke. He is highly detailed, organized, and extremely creative!!!!! Throughout the whole wedding, he kept the energy going and slammed it during the dancing portion. I am from the Bay Area (San Francisco), so we need a good mix of EDM and hip hop and he provided that kind of mix we wanted. Almost a week later we still have friends rave about him. We can't even stop repaying our videos! Toshi, thank you again for being so upbeat and on point. If you were in the Bay, you'll be booked for sure!!! read more

NOTHING BUT GREAT THINGS TO SAY! Toshi goes above and beyond and does much more than just being a DJ and lighting. My husband and I were on a major time crunch, because we went from having 11 months to plan our wedding to about 5! We both have to agree that Toshi and his Spectrum Entertainment crew were some of the easiest and most fun people to work with. Toshi is a great listener, gives awesome advice, and is so enthusiastic and genuine. Communication was timely, professionalism was there, and he accommodated all of our last minute changes without hesitation. He helped us not only with our music, but also provided some guidance for our reception timeline. The up-lighting was GORGEOUS! We had an outdoor wedding, and went with the package with all the magical lighting features (can't remember what it was called lol). My husband and his groomsmen planned a surprise dance for our garter part of the reception, and I kid you not, the lighting made it feel like a movie scene! At our reception, he would check up on us, bring us water, made sure we had something to eat, etc. I mean cooooome on, what other DJ does that?! He really felt like a friend, and it was awesome. Period. Hire Toshi and his team! You won't regret it! He's worth every penny and more. read more

Toshi and Spectrum were AWESOME! You won't find a better DJ, MC, lighting and/or sound company for your wedding or any event. Toshi is extremely professional, but laidback and fun at the same time. Just what you want in the DJ, MC, lighting and sound company you work with for any event. Spectrum provided us with sound equipment for our wedding ceremony and reception, lighting equipment that set the mood in the ballroom for the reception, as well as DJ and MC services. Toshi will help you customize your package to select the services you want/need for your event. He was happy to help us coordinate getting a slideshow up at our wedding when we made the request 48hrs before the day of. We had asked for a simple projector just to show a picture slideshow, but he went above and beyond and brought his LED video board that was AMAZING behind the DJ table. The lighting and sound equipment were great and definitely helped set the mood, but Toshi is the secret to this business. His charismatic laidback energy makes him THE PERFECT personality to DJ and/or MC weddings and other types of events. I cannot say how much we appreciate everything Toshi and Spectrum did to make our wedding day special. read more

Spectrum Entertainment - AMAZING lighting by Spectrum - DJs Near Me

Toshi was great from the get-go. We were referred to Toshi through several sources and it makes sense why. He was very prompt, knowledgeable on his craft, and offered great advice for our event. We were one of the couples impacted by Covid-19 and had to postpone. Like many of the couples, this meant piecing together a follow-up wedding in a short time frame. Not only was Toshi accommodating, but he was very understanding of our situation. Moreover, Toshi made it clear he wanted to make our wedding day as least stressful as possible. This meant taking our calls on short notice, talking about the venue as he'd already worked there before and been recommended because of that, and then providing us detailed sheets so that we were organized on our song and style selections. Toshi's prompt responses kept us at ease as we were planning our event. I have no doubt that Toshi will be a great partner to work with for your wedding and/or event, and I would highly recommend him and Spectrum Entertainment. read more

TOSHIIIII! I wish we had more time with Toshi, who gave us the most amazing lighting and music during our reception! We didn't want the night to end due to all the energy he produced! My husband and I instantly liked Toshi from our first phone conversation with him. He was personable, experienced, and had the most adorable laugh. He gave us tips that no other DJs we had interviewed with had ever mentioned, so we knew we found the right person. We were so impressed with how proactive he was with everything, especially when our responses were incredibly slow. You know, wedding planning is not easy peasy lemon squeezy. Once he had his information, he would coordinate with our wedding coordinator, Nicole from Aulani and from what I heard, Toshi was detail-oriented with everything. I truly appreciated that because when it comes to lighting, design, and music, my husband and I are not well-versed. We felt SO comfortable with Toshi handling everything for us. The morning of our wedding, we needed to execute our emergency plan and without much guidance from us, as it was absolutely chaotic, Toshi was able to perfectly work with our new configuration for uplighting and DJ placement. Despite us saying our dance floor would be rather quiet, since we weren't the party type, our dance floor ended up being packed until the very last minute. Toshi kept the music going and synced the songs according to the groups of people on the dance floor. He is truly the DJ master! I have to also note that we upgraded to the cold sparks and that's an upgrade you should never compromise. GET IT! Toshi timed it perfectly alongside our first dance and then later several more times on the dance floor. The preview pictures from our photographers came out amazing! I'm sad we left without giving him a proper thank you. I honestly don't remember much of the end of the night but I knew I had a fabulous time and I have Toshi to thank for that. If you're searching for a DJ, look no further. I give my highest recommendation to Toshi! And Toshi, if you're reading this, you're freaking awesome! Hit us up whenever you're in the bay! read more

Toshi went above and beyond for our wedding!! We have interviewed a handful of DJs/MCs and decided to go with him due to his professionalism, warm personality, and also his amazing taste in music. During planning, we ran into a strict noise limit issue unfairly set by the venue outside of our contract. Toshi jumped on it and took the initiative to meet with the venue owner and even came up with a great back-up plan to rent silent disco headphones. He even helped negotiate the cost for us with helped TREMENDOUSLY as we were already pushing our budget. This was a huge success and our guests loved it! Our ceremony and reception sounded great, even when the neighbors began mowing their lawn loudly while we were saying our vows. Toshi and his team instinctively turned up the volume so that everyone could hear. Reception looked AMAZING with the uplighting and could not have been happier! I highly highly highly recommend Toshi and his team. You're paying for professional, easy to work with, and someone that genuinely cares about your event. read more

Cannot rave enough about how awesome Christian was during our wedding night. Toshi started the initial conversation with us and we had a face-to-face meeting with Toshi and Christian a week prior to the wedding to finalize the song list. They were incredibly receptive to our song choice and had everything we wanted. During the consultation, they also provided suggestions to songs and how to tailor our song choices to the wedding vibe, and it worked out perfectly! There were a lot of flexibility working with Spectrum. We had an ukulele player for our ceremony and they set her up with a mic and system to play on short notice. We also had an unexpected surprise hula dance, which Christian was very quick to provide the hula song accompaniment. We also had a dance-off, which Christian help facilitate to perfection...people loved it and it set the vibe for the entire night. Besides providing music as we requested, Christian was very perceptive of the crowd and was an excellent emcee who carried the energy all the way though the night. I believe he even tailored the dance music (which we provided a balance of slow and club music), to feed the energy of the crowd, which ended up being just full energy the entire rest of the night. It was an excellent call he made on his own and our guests love it. The lighting was an unexpected surprise. Had no idea they had cool lights along with the music. That was a bonus for me and it really turned up the energy for the dance floor. Overall, just excellent. Pick these guys and you won't go wrong. read more

TOSHI IS AMAZING!!!!!!! Our wedding wouldn't have gone so perfectly without him! I can't express enough how awesome he is! He's super professional and incredibly fun and easy to work with. It was nerve-wracking for me to try to plan an evening that our guests would enjoy, but Toshi answered all my questions; he provided suggestions and alterations to both music and wedding program that were seriously PERFECT! The cocktail and dinner playlists were rad, and the dance music was the best! All of our guests keep telling us how amazing the music was, and how fun the DJ was! Toshi is amazing at reading the crowd and adjusting the songs based on what people are enjoying His energy is contagious, and you can't help but have fun! Honestly, hiring Toshi was the best thing we did for the whole wedding! It took all the pressure off of us during our wedding, because we knew he was keeping track of our schedule and making sure everyone was having an awesome time. Thanks for everything Toshi!!!!!! read more

Spectrum Entertainment - DJs Near Me

I highly recommend hiring Toshi for your wedding! He was our DJ, Emcee, and Uplighting vendor and we have nothing but good things to say about him! I planned majority of our wedding on my own and he was hands down my favorite vendor to work. He responded to my emails quickly, which helped a lot during the planning process. We only met once prior to our wedding, but it was more than enough. He followed up with us hours after meeting and even helped us fix our reception timeline to make the night flow better. Toshi has a lot of experience with weddings, so he had some awesome suggestions! He gave us the idea to have a Take One Leave One album for our photo booth. It became one of my favorite mementos from our wedding being able to see our guest's photos and the notes they left us. Also, I was concerned about the durability of my handmade origami bouquet (I was planning on throwing it), so he gave us the idea of having an Anniversary Dance to give it away instead. The last couple dancing were my Grandparents, so it made it so much more special to be able to present my bouquet to them. He truly is a professional and is great at what he does. He is so charismatic and fun, which makes him so easy to work with. Unlike other DJ's, he didn't just play the music he wanted to. He took notice of what kind of music our guests enjoyed dancing to and played those songs to keep the party going. Overall, we are extremely happy with Toshi's services! read more

This review is long overdue. As a wedding planner based on Oahu we have had the privilege of working with Spectrum Entertainment since the beginning! Our first wedding together was in August 2015 and they have been one of our preferred DJs ever since. Toshi has the professionalism of a business owner way beyond his years. He provides amazing customer service, advanced knowledge about music, lighting, and production, and has so much positive energy it uplifts my entire team while onsite. While we are all about finding the right fit for each of our couples based on budget, priority, and desire, we often find Spectrum is top of our list of recommendations. Spectrum's entire team emulates Toshi's positive attitude and are always accommodating to our requests to make the experience even better for our clients. We have had the pleasure of working with both Toshi and Christian as our DJs and I can assure you their catalog of music is extensive! Even if they don't know a particular song they will make it happen and find a bunch of others that will create the vibe you are seeking! They know how to throw a party and get everyone on the dance floor. If you are seeking a DJ for your wedding, social gathering, or special event cross your fingers that Spectrum is available because they will definitely make your event a success! Thank you Toshi and Team Spectrum for all you do for our couples and us! read more

Toshi and Christian did an amazing job with our wedding I am so glad that they were a part of it. From the very beginning they were very easy to communicate with and very collaborative in understanding what type of music we wanted as well as offering options for uplighting and dance floor lighting which added a beautiful touch for the night! We really appreciated their attention to detail in making sure they were fully tuned in to the wedding day timeline and pronunciation of names for the bridal party/speeches/etc. They really thought of everything and also allowed space for us to give input to make the whole experience what we envisioned. They fully exceeded expectations and Christian was an amazing emcee and kept the dance floor packed all night! Even some of the wait staff couldn't help but join in on the dancing and some of the staff mentioned they're never seen the dance floor so consistently full the whole night. Several guests commented on how much they loved not just the dance floor music but also the cocktail hour & dinner tunes. There was a huge tree as a focal point over our reception area which looked gorgeous with the uplighting Spectrum provided and the lights for the dance floor made for a great atmosphere as well. My husband is admittedly particular/hard to please when it comes to music and Spectrum team was accommodating and enthusiastic with any and all questions/requests made throughout the process. I could not recommend them highly enough! Toshi & Christian thank you for doing such a beautiful job, it really made the night! read more

Cannot say enough great things about Toshi. He is perhaps the most down to earth and professional Dj we have met. This man listens to what you are saying and he makes sure he brings you and your guest a great time! From the setup with his partner Christian, to music was perfect. The only slip up was not practicing my dance move with my group lmao. I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking about getting married in Oahu. You need music? He has it. You need lighting? He has it. You need an amazing MC, yup he does that too. Also you do need sparklers to make your night more magical? Toshi has that too. Toshi, Jenna Lee, Bruce Ah Leong Inspired Films were hands down the best part of our big day. read more

Excellent, fantastic, superb, perfect, marvelous, wonderful - the list can go on and on and on!!! Toshi is the MAN!! From the moment we had our consultation over the phone with him for his DJ and emcee services, I was sold. He is so professional, knowledgeable, and organized, and he played a huge role in making our dream wedding come true!! We can't thank him enough for all his hard work, and for being so on top of things. He made sure we got exactly what we wanted on our special day - everything from the music to the uplighting to being an awesome emcee! He gives great recommendations and advice, too! My now-husband and I had never visited our venue and were planning our whole wedding from California. Toshi really helped us out by giving us firsthand info that we wouldn't have known otherwise. He is super responsive and helpful and always made sure to answer all of our questions. At our wedding, he was so good at sensing the mood and energy of the crowd and we really appreciate all the hours of fun he provided us and our guests! You can tell he really enjoys what he does and takes pride in his work - it really shows!! He is such a genuinely nice person, too! Just as all the other glowing reviews state - we have nothing but good things to say about Spectrum Entertainment! If you're thinking about booking Toshi for your wedding or event - DO IT!! You'll have the best party ever, just like we did! Thank you, Toshi!! :) :) read more

Both Toshi and Christian were just lovely to work with. Since Toshi had another wedding the same night, Christian was our DJ. Toshi was responsive and very on top of stuff. He helped us to keep our timeline of things that we needed to get done prior to the wedding while also being very laid back. When we met with both Toshi and Christian in person, they were on top of it and knew what they were talking about. I liked that they give us "homework" to give input the type of music we liked. We had a small package that included 6 hours, emcee, and 8 uplighting. It was perfect for our purposes. Christian did a good job of emceeing, and my dad thought he was funny. Christian was also very professional. He was always very thoughtful and brought us drinks, like when we were taking group pictures. Christian also did a great job of taking our input on the music. When we said that we wanted music that was popular in the late 2000s since that was when were in high school, he definitely gave us what we asked for. We were very happy with his music selection. He even shared one of his own songs at the end. We were very happy with Spectrum and would definitely work with them again if the time came up. read more

This cable company stinks! JUST KIDDING! Poor Toshi and Spectrum Entertainment now can get mistaken for the subpar cable company that tons of people have problems with. :( Ever since the first day we met Toshi, we have had amazing things to say about him. I personally am more comfortable going with companies that have great communications skills and as much attention to detail that I have. He was very patient in answering all of my questions (trust me, there were alot) and understanding when having to explain something to me in more detail. Our reception was outdoors at one of the Kualoa Ranch sites that has this beautiful monkeypod tree that I fell in love with. Spectrum Entertainment does uplighting and, lo and behold, in his portfolio, Toshi had THE tree and it looked magnificent. I honestly didn't even consider uplighting to be something we would look for in our DJ and even expected to hire a separate MC. He explained all the services that he provides and was willing to work with us on pricing while still ensuring that we understood the quality of sounds and lights that we would be paying for. We had a few consultations with him (including an initial "interview" session) and he has the ability to make everyone around him feel comfortable. We seriously felt like we knew him forever and his personality had so many traits of our good friends that we swore we must have crossed paths with him one way or another. Other MC's we interviewed seemed to BE the center of attention and, although we are a couple that doesn't prefer the spotlight ourselves, we knew that that's not what we were looking for. Toshi explained (and executed) that he was NOT the center of attention or dominate the program and could make the program iself the focus if we weren't comfortable having it on us. That's exactly what he did. He worked with our planner and me on the timeline and carefully went through the pronunciations of each name. We had our grand entrance by boat and he timed our entrance perfectly with his announcements. His DJs handled editing and looping the music well and he followed the timeline exactly as it was written. The wedding party that had the itinerary commented how everything was perfect, down to the minute, and flowed very well together. We were doing table pictures prior to the tables heading to the buffet line and in between pictures Toshi was running up to us with our glasses of water! How amazing is that kind of service?! He constantly checked up on us throughout the night to see if we needed anything. I mean, wow!! The weather slightly prevented the proper lighting for our trees (because of flooding) but Toshi explained to us what he did with the extra lights and where they were placed. I honestly wouldn't have noticed but he made sure that I was in the know at all times. And if there was anything that people would bring up randomly these two weeks past the wedding, was the music. Toshi was very detailed in asking about music that I listed down and got a better idea by asking for a few samples of each. HE. NAILED. IT. The dance floor was packed from the time dancing started to the last song (about an hour and a half). I chose old school music for dancing but at one point I noticed the numbers of adults started dwindling slightly off the dance floor. Then he played this song that I've never even heard of (and didn't know how to dance to, HAHA!) and wanted to ask what that darn rap kind of music was... but then I noticed that all my nephews and nieces that were in elementary and high school came onto the dance floor! Seriously my jaw almost dropped because they were the "cool kids" that I didn't even expect to take any part in the reception, let alone dancing! From there he did a good mix of old school and today's hits that kept the littles AND the olds on the dance floor. Talk about knowing his sh*t. I highly recommend Toshi and Spectrum Entertainment for any DJ/MC/uplighting/entertainment needs. It's times like these that I wish I was more of a party animal to give me reason to hire them again or more often in the future! read more

Spectrum Entertainment - I wanted this monkeypod tree accented and Toshi chose this color for me when I said I wanted a more "natural" emphasis for it. Looks great! - DJs Near Me

I had been planning this huge Quincñera for my daughter for over a year. As you can imagine as time approached I figured I have all vendors in place, I'm good to go.....boy was I surprised!!! The attention to detail that Toshi provides is SPECTACULAR to say the least. We met to discuss the details. Which I honestly thought...ok I'm just gonna let him know what I want him to play at the party and be done in like 20 minutes. No not at all....Toshi took his time at our meeting to really get a run down of the festivities, it was important for him to capture exactly what we were trying to create (as Quinceñera's are not popular here), and accommodated to emcee the ceremony. I really never thought how much thought we needed for music until we met and discussed the whole run down of the event. Toshi was so accommodating requesting a list of songs, music genera's, suggested lighting that made the room breath taking and the final song of the party. That really never crossed my mind...FINAL SONG?! Toshi not only comes to play music...He will ensure that your event runs smoothly. I gave him a run down of program, he made announcements, emceed the ceremony, accomidate music requests and ensured that we ended our party on a high note!!! Toshi I cannot THANK YOU enough for your services!!! read more

Tried getting a hold of this company for a week now. Left 3 voicemails, 2 emails, and even a message on instagram. Horrible response rate and impossible to reach anyone. All you get is voicemail with no returned calls. I was really looking forward to booking Toshi from the great reviews I read. Very disappointed. Now your emailing me asking to remove my comment? Lol. Your saying you were out of the office for a week but it took 3 weeks to respond. I find it hard to believe you dont have a work email that you can access while mobile. Someone who relies on clients for business should have access to a phone and email at all times. At least a 72 hour reply time. Im glad you never responded though because I had the pleasure of hiring dj neekz and he was incredible. It also took 4 months to respond to this comment? I hope in the future, you can have a better response time or at least leave a message saying your out of town and wont be reachable for however many days. read more

We weren't sure where to start for our DJ vendor, but our wedding coordinator highly recommended Toshi to us. She not only suggested him as our DJ but said he's an amazing emcee and lighting genius too. After our first call with Toshi, we decided to move forward with him and boy were we happy we did! Toshi's not only organized and knowledgeable, but is very personable and has great energy. Not to mention, super responsive via email. He discussed all options with us and let us know that he preferred to also be our emcee. Although I was very hesitant about using someone we didn't know as our emcee, it really ended up being our best decision! Toshi has this crazy ability to read a crowd and keep their attention. He had wedding appropriate jokes and really played off of our guests to create such an enjoyable atmosphere for all age groups! And I was very thankful we didn't have any awkward moments! Well, let's be honest, there were a few close calls, but Toshi smoothed it all out! :) And did I mention his lighting skills?? We had 24 uplights and let me tell you, they were all worth it! This was my husband's favorite part of our wedding as Toshi did an amazing job lighting up the room in coordination with his music. We both agreed it was a super SICK addition to our wedding and definitely worth the money. All in all, if you're looking for a DJ that is the total package, look no further! Toshi is your man!!! He's the absolute best and loves what he does, which makes him THAT much better! Couldn't have asked for a better DJ, emcee and lighting genius! Thank you, Toshi for making our big day THAT much more memorable!!! It wouldn't have been the same without you there. MUCHALOS! :) read more

Toshi and his team hands down MADE our wedding reception! We had multiple changes due to Covid (venue and guest count to name a few) but Toshi was so understanding and flexible through everything - even the last minute changes. He was our DJ/MC and took care of our uplighting, audio for our live entertainment during cocktail hour, and ran a video on a projector at the start of dinner. He was very attentive and professional in our conversations leading up - making sure the timeline and song choices would be in line with our vision. We trusted him fully to execute the evening and it went better than we imagined. His MC style is a perfect mix of laid-back and energizing and he has a great ability to read the energy and keep the flow of the night moving (and on time) without feeling rushed. Same for his DJ style - he kept the dance floor full all night with everyone from our friends, to parents, to the kids. We heard from so many guests how much fun they had dancing and had multiple friends ask for his info for their future weddings. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Toshi and truly feel that we owe how much fun and little stress we were able to have at our wedding reception to him. Thank you Toshi and Spectrum Entertainment! read more

Spectrum Entertainment - DJs Near Me

See all

Toshi and his crew were absolutely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. It was tough because we were a COVID couple, rescheduled our wedding multiple times. We are so glad he was available for our actual wedding day. He has a very informative consultation with you, gets to know you as a couple, and what you vision is like for your wedding. He is not only a DJ but also can be your emcee, and offers lighting and other technical rental stuff too. He was extremely helpful with helping us plan lighting around our outdoor event too, which I didn't even think about until he inquired about it. Most importantly, he is such a humble and down-to-earth guy. We had complete trust in him. And most impressive, was that I had created my own playlist of songs for our dinner reception, but instead of just playing straight from my playlist, he created a hybrid playlist with his own selections, and WOW I was blown away, it was even better than I could've ever created for myself. He is very well versed with music and we are so grateful he spent the time to get to know us so that everything media on our wedding day was just perfect. THANK YOU TOSHI for being the most amazing guy ever. He is a diamond in the rough, undiscovered gem, whatever you wanna call it, and super competitive pricing for the quality and professionalism of his work. Just hire him. You will definitely not regret it! read more

Overpromised & Underdelivered I just made a review on Awesome Weddings by Holli, who ruined our wedding. This review is for Spectrum and Toshi Nakasone - our second big disappointment on our wedding day. Here is why: 1. Poor communication. I should of listened to the bad review on Yelp. It was impossible to get ahold of Toshi few days before the wedding. I was sure we were suppose to meet up on site during the wedding rehearsal. Me and my wedding coordinator emailed, texted and called Toshi but he was nowhere to be found 3 days before the wedding. I didn't know if he just dumped us. Then, he finally called after my email saying that if he doesn't get back to us, we will have to find another DJ/MC. 2. He could care less. My wedding coordinator created a 1 hour delay for the reception and consequently for the whole wedding program. Toshi didn't care to let us know of this disaster and to make some changes ASAP. He said "it was not his responsibility". 3. Boring and low mood wedding atmosphere. Instead of the promised upbeat, fun and high energy. He never interviewed us to get to know us, so he can connect with our guests. 4. Unprofessional. He couldn't even get the names of our parents right, asking what their names were while we were sitting there at the sweetheart table. 5. Poor organisation. Although the program timeline was created together with Toshi, we never got the final discussion of the timeline before the wedding. And this was because Toshi was vacationing and impossible to get in touch with. My emails were not given proper attention, he just didn't see the files attached at the end of the email. That's why he wasn't prepared on the wedding day. 6. Bad DJ. Was it so hard to follow simple instructions and start/stop the music on the exact time I previously provided? Our father-daughter and mother-son songs both stopped at the wrong time. Our first dance song started before we even started walking to the dance floor. I had to make a sign and get them start the song again when we were ready. The excuse? Toshi said that his assistant is trained to start the music right after his announcement. 7. Wrong hashtag. That was the "cherry on top". How hard it is to again follow the previously provided instructions and read the hashtag right? Well he said the wrong hashtag and some of the photos were marked wrong by our guests. This kind of stuff just pisses you off. 8. Way too expensive for what you get. Our package cost us $2,800. To make it fair though, there were good sides too: 1. Toshi Nakasone is a very good salesman. He made a great impression on us, so great that we cancelled other appointments with vendors and chose him. He even brought the littler gift to our first meeting. Also, we were impressed by so many good reviews on Wedding Wire and Yelp. 2. The sparkles effect looked good. 3. He admitted his faults, although for each and every point he had an excuse. However, his biggest excuse apparently was that our wedding was already ruined by our wedding coordinator, so his "little" faults here and there were "no biggie". Yeah, not know our parents names on the day of is a "no biggie"? He even offered a $1,000 discount, which we REFUSED to accept. There is nothing that can make it up to us. All in all, Spectrum Entertainment by Toshi Nakasone is definitely NOT worth the money, especially as an MC. read more

I've now attended and helped plan two events (birthday parties) where Toshi (the owner of Spectrum DJ's) provided the lighting, sound system, DJ and emcee services. The lighting and sound systems are of top quality, and his lights are great for all types of parties. He provides both uplighting (commonly used at weddings), along with moving spotlights that are great for dance parties or concerts. The sound system blasts crisp and clear music, and the sound system is great for both indoor or outdoor events. Toshi is a great DJ and can mix any kind of music that you want for a party. The best part about working with Toshi is that he is very helpful and eager to help you achieve whatever you want for the event. He pays close attention to detail, and he is always happy to modify anything you want in order to make you happy with the lighting or music. Toshi is also a very entertaining emcee, as he is very friendly and personable but doesn't overdo it on the talking. He's good at getting people to dance and keeping the party environment lively and fun. Toshi is also very professional from the moment you contact him (even if it's just inquiring about prices/services), and he's easy to reach through phone or email. He'll always make sure everything is planned out before the event, and he will usually meet with you at some point before the event to go over the timeline of the event and to discuss what you want in terms of lighting/sound/music. I would highly recommend Spectrum DJ's for anyone looking for a company to provide top quality lighting/sound/DJs/emcees for an event. read more

The best!!! Toshi had done a few of our friends weddings so we knew how awesome he was already! He's so friendly and warm as an emcee that a couple of our guests thought he was a personal friend of ours lol. Great music, fun dancing, and awesome service from beginning to end! :) read more

My husband and I have nothing but great words for Toshi and Spectrum Entertainment! We are from Washington state and we had a destination wedding in Hawaii. We planned everything from Washington state. Our wedding was on January 16, 2019 at Paliku Gardens at Kualoa Ranch. Communication: I had no issues with communication with Toshi. All communication with him was through facetime, phone call and email. I initially contacted him through Yelp and received an automatic response to my email that explained he would be out of the office and would have limited access to his email. He did provide a phone number in the email for people with urgent matters. With that said, once he was back in his office, Toshi eventually contacted me with a very detailed email. From then on, communication was effortless! He provided a music template for my husband and I to fill out. The template was very helpful as it was used to prepare us for our facetime consultation with him. During our facetime consultation, we informed Toshi of some of the artists we like and the type of mood we were aiming for and with that, he was able to suggest other artists and music that really coincided with our vibe. My husband and I felt very comfortable trusting Toshi to make some music selections for our wedding. Professionalism: Just like it states in another comment, Toshi was very professional but laid back, which, my husband and I loved! Toshi followed our timeline very well. He had it in his hands most of the time and I saw him referring to it a lot, which was great since our wedding coordinator was not very helpful in that area. Toshi did everything a DJ/MC should do plus more. He really took care of us. I WANT TO SPECIFICALLY POINT OUT...during the start of dinnertime, our caterers brought our plate of food to our table. I was getting ready to eat but then my husband suggested we take group photos with everyone before they headed to the buffet line. I agreed but all I could think about was how all the flies were going to get on our food while we were away from it. About a minute later, I saw Toshi running down to our seats with two plates in his hands. I thought to myself, "Oh good, he is going to get some food for himself...but why he is running in the opposite direction of where the food is?" A couple seconds later, I turn around and see that he covered our food with the plates so that the bugs wouldn't get on them because he knew we were going to take group photos before eating!! My husband and I were so impressed by his gesture and appreciated the thoughtfulness so much. My husband and I kept talking about him the whole night and after the wedding, as well. Lastly, I had a slideshow to play during dinner. I was told by Toshi that all I needed to bring was my slideshow on my own laptop and he would provide all of the wiring to connect my laptop to his projector. Turns out, according to my sister-in-law, the laptop I brought was not a laptop at all. The "tablet" that I brought did not have an HDMI connector, which presented a problem to Toshi but he told me not to worry and told me to continue enjoying my wedding. He told me he would figure it out. Somehow, Toshi and my sister-in-law worked their magic. I am not a tech person so from what my sister-in-law told me, it sounded pretty complicated but even if it was not, Toshi never made me feel worried even though my sister-in-law said that he was! For that, I thank you Toshi!! =) Overall, my husband and I felt very taken care of. Also, after the wedding I found out that Toshi helped figure out some issues with our dessert table. The person who made my cake said she was very appreciative of Toshi's help. I do not know exactly what he helped out with but just knowing that our DJ helped out with a "dessert table issue," blew my mind. Toshi took pictures with us, partied with us and even danced with us a little. By the end of the night, he felt more like a friend to us than our DJ/MC/Wedding coordinator. read more

Toshi was so easy to work with, and was great about planning ahead and staying in touch with us throughout the process. He asked all the right questions and nailed down all the details so that he could help guide us and our guests smoothly through our reception.Toshi brought the music and energy that helped us and our guests have so much fun dancing and celebrating a night we will never forget. read more

DJ Toshi was amazing from the get-go :) I was looking for a DJ for my wedding and found Toshi through one of my friends! So I setup a meeting with him and it was awesome. He was very helpful and easy going through our entire meeting. He gave me a general program outline of how the wedding night could flow (which was soooo helpful) and how the music choices dictated the mood of the evening. He definitely knew what he was talking about and thus helped me create my first wedding timeline! DJ Toshi's equipment is top-notch! There are different packages to choose from, usually based on size of venue and number of guests. And he also has lighting effects should a couple want to have that choice as well! The day of our wedding was a whirlwind...when my husband and I finally arrived to the reception venue after taking our pictures with our photographer, the music and uplighting was just ON POINT. What I had asked for and what was delivered was way beyond our expectations...and you could see it in the way our guests were enjoying themselves :) And DJ Toshi is a GREAT EMCEE!!!! If you ever are scrambling do not worry!! He is a natural with the mike and gets everyone up and excited when necessary!! He also was so helpful in pointing out where guests could find the restroom, when dinner was ready to be served, and kept the overall mood positive :) THANK YOU FOR BEING SO WONDERFUL TOSHI!!! Everyone had a great time at the wedding and complimented your emcee skills too :) Scott and I are so grateful that you were able to help us make our day perfect! read more

I was planning a wedding for my good friends in HNL and needed a DJ that will work with our budget. A friend refer me to DJ Toshi and I set up a phone meeting with him from SF. First impression over the phone...Toshi was awesome, full of suggestions, and most important...He was listening and acknowledge me and my client's need and was willing to work with our budget. Day of wedding. Of course just like most wedding, the set up time was limited. Toshi was prompt and on time for set up and tear down. He knew that we were on a super tight budget and could not add on any extra special lighting feature. Toshi when above and beyond comp. the extra special lighting feature at no cost. We had an Emcee that work side by side with Toshi but for those of you who does not have an emcee...Toshi is the man for it!!! The sound systems are high quality and the extra special lighting feature absolutely make a big different. At the end of the wedding, everyone walk away with smile on their faces. For anyone who is looking for a DJ for wedding or birthday parties...You need to get Spectrum Entertainment. Spectrum Entertainment is my go to for music entertainment when I plan the next wedding or parties in Hawaii. I can't wait to work with the talented Toshi again. Thank you for helping making this wedding special. read more

Toshi was recommended to us by our Wedding Coordinator. It was a perfect match for my daughter. Spectrum provided uplighting, Gobo sign, emcee and DJ/Music for my daughter's wedding 12/7/2019. Everything went as envisioned by the couple. The sound, the phasing, lighting and effects were so spot on! One should hire professionals who will take care of everything so everyone can just enjoy the moment and Spectrum is just that. We had so much fun and fond memories of the wedding's special moments created by Spectrum Entertainment. read more

***HIGHLY RECOMMENDED*** Thank you DJ Toshi for being an awesome DJ at our wedding! You are so talented and easy to work with. First, Alex and I are thrilled to be your very first gay-wedding. We were looking for someone cool and comfortable performing at our wedding, and you were delightful and thoughtful to work with. Also, major credits to you for having fun hosting and emceeing with our famous hostest-with-the-mostest drag queen performer Estee Longah. Second, you beat-matched 2 very different songs (the Navy anthem vs. a Jess Glynne dance song) into a seamless transition from our entrance into our first-dance. That was awesome. The best part, you capped off the evening with that same Jess Glynne song as the last-dance. You used our theme song and made it memorable. Third, you were able to accommodate all those requests from our friends and guests, hula dancers, and Estee Longah. You had prepared an awesome playlist based on our song preferences, yet you still played all of our requests from the 80s-90s-00s. (Yes, we grew up with Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys!) Toshi, thank you again for being our DJ. We will highly recommend and refer future clients to you. Love, Alex + Trevor read more

I would highly recommend using Spectrum Entertainment for any event, especially a wedding! Two weeks before my destination wedding I found out my wedding planner had not actually booked our DJ. Luckily for us Sprectrum entertainment still had our date available and Toshi was absolutely amazing dealing with the stressful situation we were in. We couldn't have been happier with the service we were provided from the minute we were in contact with Toshi. Toshi and Christian were our DJs/emcee's were awesome and created an amazing atmosphere! read more
