Bula Music & Performing Arts

ly magical. He is an awesome DJ as well. Everyone was on the dance floor. The hula dancers, lighted leis and glow sticks added a lot of enthusiasm and energy from all our guests!

had all the fundamentals down, professional, on time and a great communicator but he also goes above and beyond in many ways to ensure your experience is superb and this I believe is unique to each event. we highly recommend him and honestly feel like he is not an addition to an event, he is an essential. Thanks Bula, we will definitely book again when on the big island. you are the BEST

We're so happy that we hired him for our big day!

rom start to finish, everything was flawless, and the music was absolutely magical! Our ceremony took place on the beach at sunrise, and the vibe was perfect for a romantic and intimate setting. Bula not only arrived early to get everything set up but also tailored the song selection to fit the mood we were looking for. The combination of acoustic ukulele and soulful vocals was the perfect soundtrack to our special moment. What really stood out was Bula's attention to detail and flexibility. We had a few specific song requests, including some Spanish songs, and he was so accommodating, ensuring every song was played at just the right time. The acoustics of the beach with the gentle ocean waves in the background made it all feel like a dream! Throughout the whole planning process, Bula was communicative and professional. He took the time to understand our vision, and it showed in the way he brought it to life. If you’re looking for a wedding singer in Hawaii, especially for something as unique as a sunrise ceremony in Kailua-Kona, we HIGHLY recommend Bula. He truly made our wedding unforgettable. The music was one of the highlights of the day, and we’re so grateful we found him through The Knot. Thank you again for making our day so special! 🌅🎶💍

l hour, our guests said that he did an amazing job. Thank you Bula for making our night special and memorable.

ic-info gathering processes were super straightforward and painless. Honestly, I don't think he could have made it any easier for us. Our reception wasn't traditional, and more just like a big cocktail party, so there wasn't a set schedule of events to follow. Bula had no problem making that work - our guests were welcomed to the party by his lovely lei greeter and Bula's buttery smooth vocals, and then he made a seamless transition over to fun DJ set after sunset that cranked up the energy and got everyone dancing (even in the rain!). 10/10 would recommend!

ccommodating, making the entire planning process a breeze. Their attention to detail was evident when they provided us with an extremely comprehensive schedule for the day of the event, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Despite having to travel from the Big island with their team and all their equipment, they arrived on Maui seamlessly and were fully prepared to handle our unique needs. With two different locations boasting varying power requirements, they expertly set up without a hitch, alleviating any concerns we had. The live music provided by Bula was nothing short of amazing. They perfectly set the tone for both our ceremony and reception, with music that resonated with our guests so much that they didn't want to leave the dance floor. Bula effortlessly incorporated all of our suggestions, ensuring that our vision was brought to life flawlessly. Additionally, my husband had a special surprise song he sang during his vows and Bula supported with live music making it truly special and unique. The conch shell during the ceremony literally brought our guests to tears (happy ones) and the hula and fire shows were absolutely breathtaking and a must. It truly was a highlight for us. Last, but not least, the lei greeters really helped set the tone for the beginning of the ceremony which was also loved by us and all of our guests. Moreover, their team was an absolute pleasure to work with. Their professionalism, combined with their warm and friendly demeanor, made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. I wholeheartedly recommend Bula to anyone in need of top-notch entertainment for their event. They truly exceeded all expectations and made our day unforgettable. They truly brought the “ha” (breath of life) to our event and hope to have an excuse to work with them again.

ing. First of all, can we take a moment to recognize how amazing his voice is?! This made my Hawaiian wedding feel even more traditional and genuine. I had never saw myself having a first dance to live music, but having this as an option, made it so much more special for us. Having Bula and Ash through the whole day made everything so seamless and took the stress out of having to plan for either multiple vendors or figuring out A/V or sound systems for the ceremony. Knowing that it was all in their very capable hands allowed me to be fully present for every moment of my wedding. I highly recommend booking them for both the ceremony and reception. I chose to leave everything up to Bula for cocktail hour/dinner music and he did not disappoint. Bula is great at reading the room and choosing what energy level is best. Not to mention, the level of depth the intake form goes into. That really helps set up the event for success. From start to finish, the whole process was so easy and helped me feel so confident as a bride. My wedding planners introduced me to Bula and I couldn't have been happier. There was no doubt once reviewing that this was who I wanted for my day! All my initial questions were answered in a very timely manner. Leading up to the event, everything was taken care of and I didn't have to spend any time on the day of worrying about any logistics! It is very clear how passionate they are about what they do! It shows in the energy during the day, throughout the different events. We were very lucky to work with Bula and Ash and all future couples will be too!

original music in your playlist. It has been months since our wedding and I still think about how magical they made our day.

ng. We had our wedding at Oahu Wedding Villas and Venue, and Bula flew all the way from Maui to make our day extra special. From my young cousins to my grandparents, everyone was dancing and singing their hearts out. I kept hearing how amazing Bula was! Having them there truly added so much value to our night. Thank you, Bula and Ash, for making our wedding unforgettable!!

em. They were super easy to work with, always responded to emails in a timely manner, and put on an amazing performance. All of our wedding guests were blown away by this man’s voice!!

very friendly guy that was easy to work with. He had a great selection of music to choose from and also learned a new song for my wife to dance a hula to which was the best gift of all. Mahalo Bula and Ash! We were so glad to have you on our special day!

icipants and performers during the weekend. It was by far the most professional group we have hoped to work with. Bula’s beautiful voice and sounds, along with other musicians and the beauty of the dancers made our “vintage island wedding” theme come to life!! The After Party DJ was off the hook! Our guests closed down the house at midnight. I had an idea of our vibe in mind and made a few suggestions, but trusted Bula and Ash to fill in the rest! It was perfect! I wish we could do it all over again. Thank you for a memorable weekend! Meredith Zohar

aii and the Spirit of Aloha throughout the entire process; from planning, through the Big Day, and beyond. Our guest have not stopped raving about how amazing the wedding entertainment was, and we can’t imagine what our day would have been like without Bula and Ash leading it. We highly, highly recommend them for your special day. Our experience with them is sealed in our hearts forever!

entertainer in Hawaii! After a lot of research, I came across Bula’s YouTube account and was instantly mesmerized by his smooth voice, his outstanding ukulele and guitar abilities, his hyped MC and DJ sets, and his team of some of the most skilled hula and fire knife dancers I have ever seen. The best part was all of these things were combined into just one entertainment package! We were ecstatic to find out Bula was available for our wedding date, and we opted for a package that included it all! The process leading up to the wedding was extremely organized thanks to Bula’s wife, Ash. She provided a very detailed questionnaire for us to complete to get to know us better as a couple. Additionally, we set up a virtual call the week before the wedding to iron out last-minute details and timelines. One thing that I found especially attractive about Bula’s package was the seamless travel and accommodation arrangements. Bula’s team took care of their own flights, housing, and transportation of equipment from the Big Island to Kauai. Fast forward to the wedding day, and all I can say is WOW! Everything about Bula and his team far exceeded our expectations. Hearing Bula sing as our wedding party walked down the aisle had me in tears. I have listened to our processional songs on Bula’s YouTube channel nonstop since our wedding. The hula show was one of our favorite parts of the day. At the end of the show, the two dancers brought me and Bryan up to teach us some hula moves, and it was a blast! I don’t think we have ever laughed as hard. When it came time to open the dance floor, Bula knew how to get the entire room to our feet. We absolutely loved the music selection and smooth song transitions. There was nonstop dancing for hours, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how great Bula’s DJing was. We ended the night with two members of Bula’s team doing the best fire knife dance I have ever seen! They brought me up and let me touch the flame with my finger, hand, and mouth. To sum it up, you NEED to have Bula be a part of your wedding. They travel to the different Hawaiian Islands and even the US mainland, so there’s no reason not to!

o some of his music and learned about his story we were completely sold--not only is he an incredible musician, but he has this great energy and spirit that really helped set the vibe of our wedding! We had him perform during our ceremony and cocktail hour, he DJ-ed during the reception, and served as MC throughout the whole evening (plus we added in some fire and hula dancers that wowed our guests). Everything was so perfect! Also, from a logistics perspective, his manager Ash was super helpful in coordinating the layout, sound and lighting with our planner - and they also did a great job of catering the music to our specific taste. Both Ash and Bula really went the extra effort to make sure everything was perfect and stress-free on the day of. Hope to hire them again at our next big event!

been more pleased. He took the time to “interview” us (bride and groom) a week before the event to get a good understanding of not only the atmosphere we wanted, but to learn more about our guests and what we thought they’d like and would “energize “ them. The result was a perfectly paced reception with not only wonderful music, but an engaging , funny and articulate emcee. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

performer, DJ, and emcee. Our guests were very impressed and enjoyed the overall experience. Thank you Bula and Ashley!

and, so we were pretty confident in choosing them. The whole process was relatively simple considering how we communicated via email and online documents only. On the day of the wedding, Bula was set up on time, coordinated well with our planner, and was flexible with moving his stage during different parts of the day. We thoroughly enjoyed the songs that were chosen by us during the ceremony and by Bula during dinner time. He did a fantastic job and we were so glad to have chosen them. If we decide to go to Big Island for another anniversary, we would definitely hire Bula again!

dancing to “I want to grow old with you” by Adam Sandler. Bula’s voice is wonderfully melodious and his talent in playing the ukulele superb. Both he and his wife and manager, Ash are warm, professional and very easy to work with. He has an extensive selection of songs to choose from and we easily found our selections. I highly recommend Bula music and would not hesitate to hire him. We are so grateful you were able to join us in helping to make our day even more special. Mahalo!

g was great. He had a long list of great songs to choose from and you have the option to have him learn songs for an additional fee per song. We requested he learn 1 song for us. His rendition of the song was so nice and moving, and that's the only song I remember from the wedding!

hoose from. Our guests were raving about him all night. He was part of the reason our day was the best day ever!

dancer and videographer! They are the complete package!

ld do it all over again!

e benefited tremendously from the run of show/itinerary planning that is a part of the package we booked. Honestly Bula and his team made our wedding night. Our guests cannot stop talking about the fire knife performances, the seamless coordination, and his rockstar DJ skills!

e knife dancing performance we have ever seen. Bula even DJs - and let me tell you - he crushed our song requests and kept the party alive throughout the evening. I can truly not recommend him enough. Dynamic coordination throughout the year to plan our special day and he beyond delivers on the day of. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so very unique and memorable.

is guitar play just set the atmosphere for the most perfect romantic wedding we could have asked for. Bula’s songs including his original songs were loved by both our Hawaii local guests as well as our mainland guests. Bula and his team made the song selection process very easy and stress-free (which I’m grateful for as a destination wedding bride planning a wedding amidst all the Covid restrictions back in December 2021). Bula went above and beyond to even did a little MC-ing in between cocktail hour and ceremony so that our wedding went smoothly and we so appreciate his talents and professionalism. We will treasure this beautiful memory of the dreamy view of the glistening ocean, the palm trees, and Bula’s soothing voice and guitar notes only made it all more perfect.

super responsive, had everything well organized, and made our special day that much sweeter by executing cleanly and professionally on everything. It was perfect!!! We chose one of their largest packages and added on additional things such as hula dancers, fire dancers, conch shell blower. Guests commented all night long about how amazing the singing, guitar playing, and music was – so many steps above other weddings they had attended. Add in the amazing lighting, mics and sound system, and it was a complete party in one vendor. I highly recommend Bula Music for weddings – but also any other event you may have – it was the best spent part of our budget!

emic. He played during our ceremony and cocktail hour, and all our guests loved him!! His voice and ukulele/guitar skills are AMAZING!! We're so happy Bula was a part of our special day!!!

Announced us coming in, sang at our ceremony and reception during dinner, then DJ for the dancing! He had his own equipment which was so nice and more than I had expected. He has an extensive song list - made it hard to choose from so many great songs. His partner, Ash Lee was also great and did a VLOG which was such a nice and unexpected touch. They made our wedding extra special, can’t recommend enough!

t of our special day, playing tunes at our ceremony, and then coordinating a special night of hula dancing and song at our beachside reception! All our guests raved about the wonderful entertainment! Bula graduated from one of the top music conservatories in the nation and it showed in the high quality and placemaking musical set he delivered - the spirit / essence of Aloha and Hawaii really shone through! We also loved his all-white colored equipment and lighting set - which matches well with any wedding decor. His manager / wife Ash was also fantastic to work with and quick to respond to our emails! Would highly recommend Bula / Ash to any couple looking to get married on the Big Island. We planned our wedding virtually and Bula / Ash made the planning seamless. He wowed our guests and exceeded our expectations - we’re so glad to have Bula / Ash as part of our special day!

nt and DJ' abilities make you never want to stop dancing.

u, it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We were thrilled Bula would travel to Oahu where our wedding venue was. We got the Pa'ina In Paradise Package where Bula also MC'ed our evening. Everything was flawless. Bula and Ash are genuinely such great people to work with. We were a bit worry no one would be dancing and let's just say we have to kick people off the dance floor to end the night. Just watching our wedding day video clips make me what to dance. It was that much fun! Bula's talents were above and beyond what we could've asked for. We are grateful for Bula and his team for making our biggest day, the best day. Trust us, book him!

to hold the microphone while I read my vows to my soon to be bride. The music you selected based on the demographics of our crowd was well received witnessed by the crowd on the dance floor. You really were able to pick some excellent tunes. The hula dancers were fantastic. Let me say this Bula and Ash: your music and personalities made the night memorable!!! Thanks again. Mahalo. Carl and Erika

our guests couldn't stop talking about him the next day. I can't thank Bula and Ash enough for such a smooth planning process as well as an unforgettable evening. Thank you!!

very overwhelming but Bula (Ashley) literally went above and beyond even the service that they were providing to help make the wedding what it was. From vender advice to sending pictures and videos of our venue, even going as far as to accept packages for us to help with our destination wedding. I was continually blown away but the generosity of their time and willingness to help! This all was before the actual event day. Wedding day would have not been the same without Bula. The ceremony music was absolutely beautiful and was exactly what we had hoped it would be. Bula carried the same vibe to the reception where the guests danced the night away! Bula was even willing to stay an extra hour to keep the party going. Every guest commented on how much they loved Bula & the entertainment (hula dancer and fire knife dancer)! I recommend Bula without any hesitation! You will not be disappointed and you’ll be so thankful you decided to go with him and his wife. They were both professional and also relaxed and fun! Helpful and willing to give advice while also respectful & flexible and willing to go with the flow. I am so blessed to have met them and to have had the pleasure to work with them. 10000/10

voice, I knew that we wanted him to be our musician at our wedding. Then the pandemic hit and we were forced to reschedule several times. Through it all, Bula and his manager were super understanding , flexible, and accommodating. It was so stressful trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic but I could not have asked for a better musician and manager team. They gave me some popular song choices and while I told them my general music genre preferences, I ultimately trusted Bula. I am so so thankful for Bula in making our wedding a magical day for us and our guests. Bula has an amazing voice - our guests were so impressed! My only regret is that I didn't book him longer because we were preoccupied with wedding photos. My recommendation is to have Bula there for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and extend into dinner time so you can enjoy his performance!
