Hoku Entertainment

Don't expect a response or communication from Hoku Entertainment in the 3 months between your first deposit and day of wedding. Don't expect Edwin to reply to your email within 40 hours in the crucial days before your wedding. Don't expect an initial apology for causing additional anxiety to a bride's week before wedding.Expect Edwin to say "must have missed your email, but I replied others".Expect the deposit refund. That's the one star.

This DJ played the wrong song for our father daughter dance. I had to leave the stage to get the the DJ on track with playing the right song. He finally got it right and we were able to dance to our father bride song. Our bride groom song was played very low as if we were listening to elevator music. My nefew had to yell out "turn it up!" the DJ responded "I thought you wanted conservative". He finally turned it up so everyone could hear.... smh. I'm not sure what was going on with this DJ on the night of our wedding but I would never use this DJ again or recommend to anyone. He also took request from guest without asking us if it was okay first.

Edwin is both friendly and professional and our DJ and karaoke package was the perfect choice for our outdoor wedding reception. Using Hoku Entertainment's online song list request was so easy and for songs not in the database, Edwin was able to receive and download them by our email communication. Let me list the rest of the great points:1. Always easy to get hold of by phone and email2. Flexible to accommodate our shifting timeline--he was willing to stay later if needed3. Super punctual and totally prepared4. Very careful not to play any "do not play" songs5. Awesome karaoke setup. The guests loved singing on the beach next to our bonfire! (Just wish there's bigger karaoke selection. Please expand!)6. Super super nice can't say that enough! 7. Dance Lights were awesome!Thanks Edwin!!!!!! We had a blast thanks to you.

Edwin and his team were amazing for us at LouLou Palm! My music tastes are considered eclectic and weird by many. He did a great job of playing the right music at the right times. He played any and all requests right away. He adhered to the list of songs I wanted played like a champion! He was super kind and attentive and never gave anything but a smile. Excellent DJ and I recommend him anytime and anywhere. His equipment was super modern. The speakers sounded outstanding and it was never too loud or distorted. He was extremely professional as well.Thank you for making my wedding so fun with a great mix of awesome music....

Edwin was awesome. His whole set up was great from the up lighting to the music. He answered all my questions and was always available. Would highly recommend using Hoku Entertainment for your next event.

Edwin and scott are both friendly brothers. Edwin the dj and Scott the emcee. I thought they did a great job at my wedding. The only thing that disappointed me was the "fog" machine that Edwin promoted. He first made this fog sound like an awesome effect to our dance floor. But it was just a vacume looking machine that had to be pushed around by an assistant. So the whole time me and my husband are doing our romantic first dance in this romantic "cloud", theres a man in every photo angle holding onto the machine.Non the less, it was a nice effect. But it was only used once through out the night (which was the first dance). Scott on the other hand was very funny and interactive. I thought that a few ideas that they suggested didnt really work out as fun as I thought it would. A downfall of Scott, is he couldnt remember my husbands name. And the day before the wedding he was asking my wedding planner about what name he would introduce us as. Although thats a great question, I dont think its a question to be asked the night before the wedding. Overall they were friendly, willing and great :) I thought they did an excellent job. Especially for the price!! Definetly affordable.

We hired Edwin for his karaoke services at our post-wedding reception after party. Booking was easy, he was very responsive to emails/questions, and payment was simple. Our guests found him to be personable and competent, and he was very good at prioritizing bride/groom requests. We had a number of other things to deal with that day, but we didn't have to pay any extra attention to Edwin, which is probably one of the highest compliments you can pay a wedding vendor, and extra impressive considering we had not met him before that day. (We didn't need to/ask to, since he wasn't emcee-ing the wedding or doing anything that required coordination.)For the karaoke itself, we really weren't sure what to expect, since there aren't many reviews of karaoke vendors on Oahu at all. Edwin brought a full set up with speakers, a monitor, and wireless mics. The song choice was really extensive (except no Hawaiian or local songs, boo). Everyone had a really great time, and we would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a mobile karaoke vendor.

Edwin and his team at Hoku Entertainment are undeniably one the best choices for your daughter 15th Birthday Celebration. Edwin met with us in person and greatly helped us plan the flow of our reception and make music choices. This was the exact type of service that we were looking for and we definitely received superb service and attention. He made this part of our daughter Quinceañera planning really easy. We can't say enough good things about Edwin! He did an outstanding job and our family and guests had a blast on the dance floor!
