Doug Fitch Music

Seven years ago, I posted this review online: "My husband and I got married on Dec., 8, 2008 and you performed at our reception at the Hau Tree Lanai Restaurant. You did an amazing job! We were truly, truly honored to have you perform, and your musicality was the perfect touch for our reception—it helped make the reception both Hawaiian and very tropical in nature. THANK YOU! I just wanted to extend an extended thanks. Ever since that trip to Hawaii (my third, Justin’s first), Hawaii has played an increasingly large role in our household. In particular, many thanks for spending a great deal of time with our own resident musicians and for playing Iz’s “Over the Rainbow” as our wedding song. It’s my favorite song and ever since we got engaged, I knew I wanted it as our wedding song. Your rendition of it was absolutely perfect. I can’t wait to get back my friends’ video of the ceremony so that I can watch/listen to our first dance. In the car, however, we have your CD playing in our car’s stereo on repeat—sometimes I think it’s the only thing that helps us maintain our sanity during the crazy commute! We look forward to playing your CD in our nursery once we eventually have kids. It’s just really great, beautiful music, and we love it. We’re definitely attempting to make visits to the islands a regular part of our life. Perhaps more special is that we’re returning to the islands for our two-year anniversary. Hawaii’s very much an important part of our lives, and I very much thank you for sharing your portion of it with us—it’s with us daily. Thank you dearly for all of your help. Many thanks for being the perfect guitarist at our reception. We loved your music and would highly recommend you to anyone. Mahalo nui loa." Seven years later, what has changed? Doug has become one of our dear friends. His music still plays in our car, and our two little boys are familiar with it. We were honoured to spend time with him on our two most recent trips to Oahu - hiking, at a concert, and at a moonlit picnic on the beach together. Doug is an amazing musician, person and friend. My husband and I had no idea that 8 years ago, the joining of our lives would also mean the development of some amazing friendships. We are so thankful to have Doug and his beautiful music in our lives. Anyone who hires him gets more than just some great music...you also get to know an absolutely fantastic person.
