Kani Events

When we said we wanted a rager with 300 of our closest family and friends, Kani Events understood the assignment! Crichton and his team were amazing to work with and accommodated our every request. We had a lot of different parts to our wedding and they made sure everything went without a hitch. Crichton's set up was perfect for our large outdoor venue and even though we had a lot of folks standing in the back for the ceremony, they were able to hear us loud and clear. I didn't realize how much sound equipment could make or break a wedding ceremony until we went to a few where we could barely hear what was going on. We were very thankful to have Crichton and his team! We also had a family friend do live music for our reception and Crichton was very organized and brought in equipment that they were able to hook up to. The sound transitions (and I'm guessing equipment transitions to different areas around the venue) from our ceremony to our cocktail hour to our reception, between our playlists and the live music were so seamless, I didn't even notice what they did... :D Just that no matter where we were in the day, the music and mics were on point for what was happening at that time. :) Crichton made sure our entire program ran sooo smoothly with his expert MC skills. We had a bit of a lengthy one, with games, speeches, a bonzai, and a shot toast from the bride and groom. Throughout the night, he added little quips here and there, playing off of the speeches and games. He was so personable, yet professional, that all of our guests, young adults and elderly, loved him. As many times as you may review the timeline, other things always pop up! We love how Crichton was also super flexible in making spur of the moment announcements as needed without interrupting the flow of the program.The music throughout the rest of the night was perfect. Kani Events kept the energy of the crowd going and let their music choices speak for themselves. They even worked with my husband when he said he wanted to do a spontaneous karaoke moment to sing Angel by Shaggy to me in front of the entire group. The dance floor was PACKED. We really had our dream wedding rager that we always wanted and we are still getting stellar reviews about how much of a great time everyone had thanks to Kani Events. All that being said, Crichton has been a longtime family friend of my husbands. He DJ'd and did the sound for my husband's grad party in 2009 as well as my sister in law's wedding many years ago. They both speak so highly of him and how not only is he a talented DJ and emcee, but a great human being. It was our honor and pleasure to work with him. For big one-in-a-lifetime events like this, there is nobody else we would have trusted more.

DJ Crichton and his team were awesome from start to finish! Kani events provided their services for a church event recently and we couldn't have had a better experience! DJ Crichton was very personable and professional and maintained constant communication with us from start to finish. The music and entertainment was straight FIRE !!! He kept everyone on the dance floor the whole night. Music was on point. He read the crowd really well and, what was most impressive was his ability to interact with the crowd and get them engaged and dancing non-stop! DJ Crichton and his teams energy was contagious and you can just see how much passion he has for his craft and the love he has for music. Hands down the best DJ on this island and maybe even on this earth!!!

You won't find a better DJ than The Perfect Wedding DJs! From the music, to the MCing, the communication, personality, Crichton and his team are the BEST!!

We hired Crichton for our destination LouLu Palms wedding as our DJ and Officiant and he was beyond expectations. From our first video meeting he had the exact vibes we were looking for and was extremely personable, fun, professional, and clearly experienced. As a DJ, he created the BEST dance party of our dreams. He played all the songs we requested but also mixed in other songs that kept the party going. Crichton and his crew were dancing and singing along and having so much fun with us - it really set the tone for a dance party like no other. As an Officiant, Crichton had the perfect mix of sweet and funny and managed to incorporate really fun statements from both of us that were unexpected. It can be nerve wrecking hiring an officiant that doesn't know you prior but you have NOTHING to worry about when hiring Crichton and his team. True professionals without being stuffy. They embody the aloha vibes you want at your wedding! All my guests absolutely loved Crichton. You're missing out if you don't book him for the hawaii wedding!

We found Perfect Wedding DJs on Instagram while searching for vendors for our Oahu destination wedding. Off the bat, we loved the fact that the company encompassed all the services we needed- DJ, MC and an officiant. While my (now) husband was not able to join the initial consultation call with Crichton, I immediately felt confident that they were the vendor to go with-Crichton was super nice, personable, and professional. He asked me questions that made me not feel like just another "number" but a respected client. While he did mention that he personally wasn't available to officiate & MC for our wedding date, he assured us that we would have an amazing officiant, MC, and of course, DJ.The team at PWDs s was very organized and helped us keep on top of deciding songs for the ceremony and reception. I like that they created a google sheet that outlined everything we needed to think about, months out! Chris, our DJ, was also amazing to work with, and totally understood our vibe and vision for what kind of celebration we wanted to have.While there were changes to our officiant and MC close to the wedding date (1.5 month out,) we trusted the process and the team delivered! We couldn't have imagined a better person than Kelehua to officiate. We loved that she incorporated Hawaiian and Filipino traditions into our ceremony, which meant so much to us. It was so heartfelt and meaningful, just a great start to the wedding festivities. Our MC, Justin really hyped up our wedding party and ALL the guests. He knows how to MC a party! Honestly, his MC-ing really helped make our wedding a night to remember, and for that we are so thankful. Lastly, we added uplighting through PWD and it was the cherry on top to our wedding at Kualoa Ranch, Moli'i Gardens. We highly recommend adding uplighting, you won't regret it.We are so happy to have worked with PWD. Thank you so much for helping us bring our wedding vision to a life.

Absolutely adore Creighton!He is so genuinely sweet and it really made a huge impact on our ceremony. He goes above and beyond, it did not feel like a business transaction whatsoever. It felt like family & it made it so special for us to celebrate a beautiful day with an amazing person. We are forever thankful for him & I will always refer him. Not only as a officiant but a MC and dj. We love you Creighton! You are part of the family now.

After having the perfect wedding experience, I reached out for a music show requiring sound and lighting. Wow - another mind blowing experience! Crichton is the best. Whether DJing, working sound, lighting a space, he takes care of you from beginning to end and always brings that extra quality that makes it unforgettable. Mahalo!

TLDR: if you want an epic wedding day, Crichton is your guy!!! I can 100% guarantee that you won't regret it!Brandon and I want to take this time to truly say thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Crichton was both our officiant and DJ. Crichton and his team executed what we had envisioned for our special day. We can't express how grateful we are. Our wedding was beyond what we imagined. Our friends and families had such a great time. They called it the wedding of the century! Crichton knew the exact vibes and kept those vibes going. Our crowd was so lit, it made us question if we should even stick to the program anymore . EVERYONE loved Crichton and can't stop talking about him. As a matter of fact, CRICHTON was the vibe!! My guests still ask for the playlist at our wedding!! We will never ever forget all the amazing work Crichton and his team did. A year of working together and I truly feel like we've been friends for longer than that. He's just that amazing. We are sad the wedding celebration has come to an end but we're glad we've gained a friend! Best believe, we will definitely be seeing him again!Thank you x1 million !

We had the Perfect Wedding DJs as our DJ and sound for our Loulu Palm wedding and they were amazing!Besides some hiccups due to our complicated setup (see below), everything went off without a hitch - Crichton was very attentive to our song and music requests, even playing a song we mentioned off-hand in a speech as the perfect closer to our dance party! Highly recommend.Our setup was a bit complicated as we played electric guitars for a "first jam" instead of a first dance. We confirmed with Crichton in our initial call that he could provide two mics for us, and that we'd be able to plug in both guitars' aux cables. Closer to the event, another staff member suggested this would cost extra, but Crichton clarified that based on our previous verbal agreement it was included.The day of, we realized Crichton didn't have a distortion filter on his soundboard (needed for the Green Day punk song we played) - luckily we had brought a mini headphone amp that had distortion and Crichton was able to route the output through his soundboard.All that to say, Crichton and everyone are very flexible and accommodating to the best of their abilities, but if you have something nonstandard, clarify exactly what you need in writing - ideally in the contract.

We had the BEST wedding and experience working with Crichton! We hired Kani Events & the Perfect Wedding DJ to provide all of the sound system, equipment and sound engineer on the day of. Crichton was so helpful, great at communicating and prompt in responding. He even helped put us in touch with local artists when we were looking to have live music. When I sent Crichton my layout vision, Crichton made sure we had everything we needed to make it happen and I totally felt like our sound system needs were taken care of leading up to the event. Our wedding night was such a success, set up to breakdown went smoothly and we were so happy we booked with Kani Events & the Perfect Wedding DJ! 10/10 recommend.
