THE ABSOLUTE BEST ENTERTAINER FOR WEDDINGS. My fiance and I heard Randy singing at Mina's Fish House at the Four Seasons 3+ years ago and his music elevated the ambience of the entire restaurant. I had to ask the restaurant for his name. When it was time for my fiance and I to plan our wedding, I knew who I wanted as our entertainment. Come to our special day and I can confidently say Randy made our wedding simply amazing. His voice graced our guests during our dinner service and it was just beautiful. Multiple guests came up to us (including my father) to ask who he was. In fact, Randy was so good, we did not want his music to end, and we actually ended extending his time on the spot during the wedding! As if this wasn't enough, Randy agreed to sing our first dance song live for us. He even made us a demo beforehand - in the version of the song we wanted. It was just perfect. Last but not least, Randy had stuck with us throughout multiple wedding date changes due to the pandemic. A true professional and artist. Thank you Randy.
Wonderful experience having Randy as our live musician! He got our songs down and was able to work with our DJ on short notice (only a month out from the wedding day) and even gave us a sample for our dance rehearsals. I’m sure the day of the wedding was hectic and disorganized for all of our vendors, but Randy made our music seem cohesive and effortless. Really happy with our time having him as our vendor and I’m sure anyone else would have a great experience as well.
Randy was incredible! He played at our wedding reception June 10th 2021 at Michel's Colony Surf. He has a beautiful voice and made for a great vibe for the location! He was easy to work with and took song suggestions. Even though he's a soloist, he makes himself sound like he has a whole band with him - very talented! I would highly recommend!
Randy was FANTASTIC! If you are planning to have a live musician at your wedding, your search ends here because Randy is your guy! He played multiple disney songs during our wedding, and made our day more special because of it. My husband and I highly recommend him!
We LOOOVE Randy!!!! From the first day we contacted him until the day of our vow renewal. He is punctual, professional and went above and beyond to accommodate our wishes. He even allowed our nephew to use his personal ukulele and sing a song for us! Our day was incredible but having Randy there was the icing on the cake.
Randy was the musician at our wedding on 10.22. 19 at Disney Aulani . He is very talented with his ukulele playing and singing. Played songs that we requested for our actual ceremony. He was given free range to play whatever he chose for our toast and photo taking. He played songs from Disney's Meet the Robinsons, Coco, Beauty and the Beast, Tangled,... all very romantic and fitting for our wedding. I recall pausing each time he started a new song and thinking aww I love that song. Both adults and children at our wedding enjoyed Randy's music. He's awesome!
As part of MY dream wedding, I've known for a while that music would be central to the festivities of our special day. From the ceremony music, to the last song played by the DJ, I knew the kind of experience we wanted for our guests. When we decided on a destination wedding, my wife and I were concerned on how the communication would work. We didn't know how things would pan out planning an event a few hundred miles away. We decided to split some of the duties and we both knew music would be my area of expertise. Looking at our list of vendors, we had so many amazing choices. We had read review on Randy and listened to a few of his performances. And keeping with the experience of being on the island, we decided to have him and his ukelele serenade our guests for our ceremony.
We ended up taking a planning trip a couple of months before and saw that he would be playing a set in town. From the first song, we knew we had made the right choice. We introduced ourselves during one of his breaks and could not get over how friendly he was. He treated us like family the whole time and played everything we wanted to hear. We had to keep telling ourselves, "Just one more..."
I was very particular in the songs I wanted played before, during and after our ceremony and Randy was BEYOND accommodating and always quick to reply. He even took the time to learn "Remember Me" for a special remembrance ceremony we surprised our guests with. There was nothing that would stop him from making our day as magical as we had hoped.
On our last day on the island, we had a goodbye dinner for our guests at another restaurant he was playing at since we just couldn't get enough.
Fast forward to today and we still feel like Randy is now part of our ohana. We keep up with him and his family through social media and still look forward to reconnecting the next time we are back in Oahu. I could not recommend him more to anyone who wants an authentic, soulful experience on their special day.
Randy was amazing!!! He played all our favorite songs. Our guests loved him. He was definitely a highlight of our special day. I highly recommend him :)
Randy Allen went above and beyond to make our Hawaiian wedding magical! His talent and professionalism is top-notch. He truly loves what he is doing, and this was evident in everything he did leading up to, during and even after our wedding. He has wonderful stage presence and energy that our guests talked about long after.
We don't think there is another musician on earth that would do all that Randy did for us on our wedding day, including writing original music for a surprise performance at our wedding reception. He also took the time to learn several of our favorite songs... and performed them beautifully.
Search no more... honestly. Randy is the best! We would hire him 100x over again!
-Nik and Valerie Larsen
If you're looking for wonderful live-music for your big day, look no further! Randy played the reception for our wedding, and he was absolutely perfect! He was always very professional, responded quickly to emails/requests, arrived early on the day-of, and most importantly, played beautifully the entire night. All of our guests were raving about the music throughout the reception and the rest of the week! My husband and I truly cannot recommend Randy highly enough!
We were lucky guests at a recent vow renewal at the Aulani Resort in Hawaii. Randy was the sole entertainer for the evening and trust me when I say if he is there you will not need anyone else. Randy was beyond amazing and he has incredible talent. He played continuously and his repertoire consists of a wide variety of songs that can please both young and old. He had everyone up dancing to the lively music or resting and as we all immersed in his sentimental tunes. Randy was incredible and certainly our number one choice wherever we might be!
One of the best wedding musicians we’ve ever seen. He played everything we requested and was so hospitable. Just a wonderful overall performer.
If I could describe Randy in one word... AMAZING! We were so fortunate to have Randy as our musician during our reception at Cafe Julia. He is wickedly talented and his music really set the mood for the reception and everyone loved every second of it! He was so professional throughout the planning process and so accommodating. We had asked him to do a personalized version of me and my (now) husband's song from high school and it was absolutely beautiful! We couldn't be happier! If you're looking for a musician for a dinner, party, wedding, etc... Randy's your guy! We are forever grateful and honored that he could be part of our wedding day.
My husband and I got married at the Aulani Resort and were gifted with the opportunity to have Randy Allen as our wedding musician. Since we lived in California and didn't have a chance to hear Randy live, we were worried about getting the music right for the wedding. To our luck, Randy was fantastic every step of the way. He was great at communicating and listening to what we wanted. He fulfilled every song request, even one song that he didn't know. We learned it especially for our wedding and it made it all the more special. Thank you so much, Randy! You're the best!
We found Randy at one of his regular gigs in town and hired him for our daughter’s fourth birthday party. He was sooo much fun! We expected him to do (clean) pop songs but were completely shocked and pleasantly surprised that he knows just about every Disney song ever made! (We later found out that he does the Disney Aulani weddings which is why.) The kids ADORED him. He was the life of the party and had all of our daughter’s friends up dancing and grooving around. Our footage is too cute and will be special to us for a lifetime. Thank you, Randy!
If you are planning to have a live musician at your wedding, your search concludes here because Randy is your guy! My wife and I cannot recommend him enough. He is very prompt, professional, detail oriented and extremely attentive to your particular wishes. Most importantly, he is an incredible musician that provides a one of a kind experience. Randy was by far the easiest vendor that we worked with and certainly the finishing touch to our wedding that made it so incredibly special for all of us in attendance.
Thank you for everything, Randy, we truly are grateful to have had you play our wedding!
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!! We booked Randy two years out to ensure he wouldn't be booked by a different couple on our date. He was so easy to work with. Our emails were always answered within 24 hours and typically immediately. He sent us song lists but also ended up learning other songs specially for us. He even came early and practiced a duet that one of my bridesmaids wanted to do!! He never seemed annoyed by the constant requests of my rowdy family and even allowed some of my guests to (drunkenly) do karaoke with him! We had such a blast. Definitely recommend!
We hired Randy last minute for a private dinner party at our home. He was punctual, easy to work with, and really read the room. We wanted the music to be "captivating background music" but didn't want to offend him by asking him not to be the center of attention. Sure enough - he was the perfect balance of being incredible while letting the focus of our small dinner be all about us. He was the cherry on top of a wonderful evening. Thank you, Randy Allen. We hope to work with you again.
Randy Allen is THE BEST! He was so sweet and accommodating both during the planning process and also during our entire wedding day. Randy is extremely talented and all of our guests loved listening to him play! I would definitely recommend him to other brides! You will not be disappointed!!
My mother-in-law actually saw Randy Allen playing at the Four Seasons when she was on vacation. She sent us some videos of him and we were in awe of his sound and style from just a few short clips. Her "gift" to us was hiring him and flying him out to the east coast for our big day. He even brought his gear all the way with him and rented some more when he arrived. Randy was so professional and thorough. It really seemed his main goal was to please us. We wish we lived in Hawaii so we could see him regularly but are happy to have had him at our wedding. 10/10 would recommend!
I must admit, Randy Allen was one of the top three things about my wedding! Truthfully during the planning and budgeting, we kept questioning if we really needed live music - YES WE DID. He was so incredible and captivating to us and our guests. Thanks so much, Randy!
Allen saved us last minute, we had a 70th Birthday Celebration and he adjusted his schedule to make sure he can make it! He had a beautiful music selection that the mixed crowd really enjoyed! The birthday couple loved the music so much they ended up dancing on most of the songs. Allen is also great with kids! We were so impressed by the rich music selection and of course his performance as a singer was fantastic! Looking forward to another event with Randy Allen Music and would recommend to anyone for weddings, birthday parties or any family event. Thank you Allen!
Randy Allen is absolutely fantastic!! He was spectacular at our wedding and very professional. Randy arrived early and provided spot-on entertainment to a crowd of 400 people. Everyone enjoyed his music and many couples even asked for referrals from us. Randy sang our first dance song and it was truly beautiful!! He is a first class entertainer and can really sing anything. I'll definitely utilize his services again in the future.
Randy was absolutely AMAZING! Hands down the best option for the entertainment during our wedding reception. All of our guests loved him. There was no song that he could not play and we even sang karaoke with him playing guitar. Randy also played the ukulele during our ceremony which added a very special element to it. Overall we would HIGHLY recommend him for your wedding or event. He was great to work with and is a true professional. Don't bother looking anywhere else, he is the best in Hawai'i!
Our beautiful wedding day wouldn’t be complete with Randy Allen. In working with Randy, you truly understand why he has received theKnot.com’s “Best of Weddings” award seven years in a row. Randy is professional, responsive, punctual, and an amazing singer. The whole process with Randy was seamless and as amazing as Randy is, he was able to exceed our expectation by going above and beyond: 1) we were unsure of what songs to use for our first dance and processional, so he sent us demo clips to help us decide, 2) he was flexible on time and stayed a half an hour longer than we originally booked, 3) on the day of the wedding we decided to move up the cutting of the cake and bouquet toss up in the program and asked Randy to improvise with a couple of songs, he was awesome. We are so glad Randy was able to be a part of our special day and we recommend him to everyone for all occasions. Thank you Randy!
I had no idea planning a wedding was so much work! Every little detail needed attention and it seemed like the to-do list never got any shorter. When it came to the music for the big day I knew that this was one aspect of the wedding that had to be absolutely perfect, and I found that perfection with Randy Allen.
Randy is as professional as they come. He set the mood during our ceremony like I couldn't believe! I had a very particular set of songs that I wanted for my walk to the alter and he said that learning them wouldn't be a problem at all! I was so awestruck that he took the time to learn songs that were meaningful to me just to make my special day even more special. On top of that, the tone and volume of his voice perfectly complemented the ceremony in a way that neither me or my guests could believe. I've been to weddings before where it seems like the musician is trying to be the star of the show, but Randy was so professional it was like he knew exactly how to use his music to shine the spotlight and put the focus on the ceremony and not himself.
His repertoire of songs was jaw dropping. The way he could switch between a sweet slow serenade for my first dance with my husband to uptempo popular dance music for the reception was truly amazing. It seemed like he never was even close to running out of unique music and he made it look effortless!
In addition to his clearly masterful grasp of the art of putting on a top tier wedding performance, Randy seemed to be an all around great guy. There was a lot of last minute rushing around and any time my husband or I asked him for something we were met with "No problem", "I can absolutely do that", or "Don't worry, I'll make the change". It was truly stress relieving to know that he was on top of the music and it was one less thing I had to worry about. I guess that's what happens when you've been in the business so long; knowing how to adapt your performance to fit the situation is just second nature.
I could not be more happy with Randy Allen and the amazing music he was able to provide for my wedding. I now understand why he comes so highly recommended. All the praise for his work is very well deserved and I'm so happy that I can share my experience of having a wedding musician who is one of the best in the business.
I expected being mother-of-the-bride for a destination wedding to be a nightmare, especially finding just the right musician. Randy Allen blew us away! He was so easy to work with, so professional, and gave my little girl everything she hoped for. And what a smooth and unique voice. Thank for everything, Randy; you’re the best!
Randy did a phenomenal job entertaining all of our guests at our Disney Fairy Tale Weddings vow renewal. He was very professional but yet extremely flexible with our requests. We all had a great time so much so that Randy became a part of the family that day.
We were looking for someone that could play "Canon In D" by Johan Pachelbel on a Ukulele at our wedding, in Lanikai Oahu. After quite a bit of searching online, we found Randy. Randy was quick to respond and created a short recording of Canon and it was just what we were looking for. Prior to the wedding Randy was always very responsive and worked with us to pick out songs etc. The day of the wedding Randy showed up early and was all set up before things started to get busy. He played both the ukulele and sang with his guitar during our ceremony and reception. His music and voice is really great and just an awesome guy to be at your wedding. Highly recommend.
What can I say! Randy was awesome. He learnt the song that I requested with only a few days notice. Randy played the song whilst I proposed to my fiancé on Waikiki Beach. Great voice and excellent guitar player.
His communication and professionalism was amazing. Very personable and just a straight up nice guy. He helped us take some photos afterwards and even his own fiancé secretly video recorded me proposing and emailed me later. Very kind and couldn't recommend Randy enough.
Thanks mate!!

WOW! There are no words to express how awesome Randy was! From the beginning of our planning to the wedding day! We picked Randy because we loved what we heard on his website and read so many great reviews. Randy learned a song for us , a special one just people from Cape May would know and it was so awesome to have everyone singing along. We love all music and Randy played a whole range of songs and really got us as a couple. We had sooo many people come up to us during the wedding and after , telling us how amazing Randy was. We were worried with a small crowd that people wouldn't dance but Randy had everyone up and dancing right away. We can't thank Randy enough! We had the most amazing day and Randy really had a huge part in making it our best day ever!! Please don't over look him because he is just solo, you won't regret booking him for your wedding!
Before I met my husband, I hired Randy Allen to sing at my son's birthday party over 3 years ago and everyone enjoyed him so much that I was able to convince my husband and ask him if we could have Randy sing at our wedding. Randy is AMAZINGLY talented, professional and an exceptional entertainer. From the first time I contacted him to check his availability, he was always so extremely nice! We met with him before the big day to finalize everything and he had GREAT suggestions to share. He sang all the songs we requested, especially our first dance song! It was so impressive! Randy is most accommodating and willing to work with you on what you desire. We had our ceremony at a different location from our reception and we asked him if he could sing at both and he easily accommodated our requests. He set up at both locations with no complaints! During the wedding and even weeks after, many of our guest inquired about this wonderful, talented performer we had singing. I always knew that if I ever got married, I wanted Randy Allen to sing at my wedding so it was truly a blessing to have him be a part of our special day. As Randy was finishing up, and we were transitioning into our formal program, we ran into technical difficulties, the sound just would not work. Randy offered to leave his iPad for us to use and he even offered to download all our songs. Who does that? Only a KIND, SWEET, CARING person. We are truly blessed to have had him sing at our wedding! If you are thinking about hiring Randy, we highly recommend him! You will no be disappointed! Earlier this year, one of our guest from my son's birthday party called me to get Randy's contact number because her niece was getting married and she raved to her about Randy Allen when he sang at the birthday party. Randy leaves a lasting impression and is truly one of the NICEST persons you could ever meet, whether he's performing or not. Thank you Randy for your kindness, patience and AWESOME AWESOME singing! We definitely plan to continue coming to your weekly performances as we are your BIGGEST FANS!
So glad I found Randy Allen.
Was less than two months away from my grandson 1st birthday party at Disney Aulani I contacted him & he responded right away the booking was super easy he is very punctual and professional every single one of my guests enjoyed his music very much he is great he play music for every occasion I highly recommend Randy Allen for any special celebration you might have.
I’ve worked with Randy for over 2 years and every interaction with him is extremely professional and he is amazing at keeping in communication not only the day of the event but also in the planning phase. Many of the couples I work with are huge Disney fans and Randy has a extensive repertoire of Disney songs that he put his own “Hawaiian” twist on. He definitely brings a special touch of magic to our Weddings and aligns with our goals to create happiness for each and every one of our couples to make every event memorable. I highly recommend Randy!”
Randy played for our welcome party and he was absolutely amazing! Many of our guests were traveling to Oahu from the mainland for the first time, and his music set the tone for a perfect intro into the islands. We loved every minute of his set and would highly recommend him to anyone!
We met Randy through Aulani where we had our wedding. My first impression of him was how positive he was and how responsive he was to all of our inquiries. We had a few odd requests for music during the ceremony and he worked with us to accomplish all of it. Even when we came to him with an obscure song 1 week before the wedding, he learned how to play in a very short amount of time and was absolutely perfect the day of the wedding.
Randy sang and played the ukulele at our wedding ceremony and my husband and I could not be more grateful. Not only is he extremely talented and professional, but he is also super friendly, easy to work with, and honestly a great and genuine person. One week before our wedding, I also asked him if he would be able to learn a new song to play during our vow exchange and he was very happy and excited to. Even after we got home, our friends and family are still discussing how beautiful the music at our ceremony was.
Thank you so much Randy for making our ceremony as beautiful as it was!
Randy played for our 50th Anniversary celebration. We found Randy to be talented, professional, and easy to work with. Great music selections also. Steve Dingledine
Hands down - Randy Allen is the best of the best. He certainly holds true to the praise he receives and is worth every penny; yet he is the most humble entertainer I have ever known.
Our proposal would not have been as incredible as it was if it wasn't for his God given talent, professionalism, and eagerness to make everything seamless.
He learned and performed our song quite possibly better than how the original artist sang it. He brought a sense of calm over our event and blew us all away. Still to this day my fiancé and I talk about how incredible he is and how special he made our engagement. We will certainly be having him at our wedding as well if he has availability in his schedule.
Thank you, Randy Allen, for sharing your gift with us and for being so wonderful to work with. We look forward to having you play at our wedding (once we decide on a date) so that we can share your talent with all of our wedding guests.
Randy Allen has made our special day nothing but special! His talented music at both our ceremony and reception was perfect. He set the mood as he amazingly played all the music we requested. He is very professional and prepared, as he met with us gather timelines and details, getting things just right. His experience even helped us out as he opened our eyes as to what to expect on our big day. He even matched our wedding color theme to blend in! His music and timing was spot on from beginning until the end. Listen to this, here is an amazing story that shows you what kind of person Randy Allen is. After he was finished playing at our ceremony (during dinner hour), Randy asked me if I had my playlist for the remainder of our reception. Well, I did, but the audio was not playing when connected to my tablet. Nor was it playing when connected to my laptop (which was for our slideshow!!!) I was stressing out and the program was getting delayed. Randy was with me the entire time trying to troubleshoot the problem, and kept saying how bad he felt for us. He wasn't even able to eat since he was trying to help us out. He even offered to leave us one of his ipads since that was working, and offered to download all the songs for us. Can you beleive it? It wasn't even Randy's problem, but he sacrificed dinner and his time for us. Things eventually worked out when our catering manager got involved. Randy Allen is not just a terrific musician, but also a tremendous person. Please, use Randy Allen, as you will not only get amazing music, but also incredible service!!! Thank you again Randy!!!
Planning a destination wedding was always going to be a challenge
When we got to the stage for music we had looked at The Knot ,this was when we came across Randy.
My partner had selected Randy for me to listen to and WOW I listened over and over again and his vocals and tone were amazing.He is talented and is truly gifted with the best vocals I have ever heard . And was the best pick as we had looked at the vendor listing from our hotel
As we wanted a lot of Hawaiian theme added to our day this was even better as we could only have guitar and ukulele only . He was a instant pick for us and this was only from what we heard online so you could imagine we were fingers cross we have this write .
Randy had a challenge too as we wanted to select a range of songs to be sang at our reception and cocktail party and was honored when we had asked him to add a few of this selection to our playlist
We had seen him at Mouna surfrider and watching him perform he sounded amazing and mesmerizing, whilst we were there he played a few songs from our playlist and did an exceptional performance so you could imagine we were even more happy we our decision.
Randy set the tone for our day and hand on my heart we want to thank you . Our song that means a lot to us as we walked down the aisle you honestly did it proud and we will always remember that
Not only is he humble,polite and professional he has a soulful vocal that sets any mood. He truly loves what he does and he shows that though his performances and was even happy to stay a little longer than we planned at a last minute request. Our guest could not till this day stop raving about him and how talented he was. Thank you for sharing our day with us and for that I would recommend him to anyone for any occasion
Mahalo Randy
Liz & Deb
One of the best decisions we made for our wedding!! Randy is amazing and a one of a kind talent. Everyone was raving about him after our wedding. They kept asking us how we found him and wanted his contact info. Our friends and family from home and out of town loved his music selections and style. A crowd pleaser for sure! Randy worked with us to create the perfect soundtrack for our ceremony and first dance. It set the tone for the best day of our lives. Thank you Randy for making our wedding so special. Looking forward to seeing you soon at one of your gigs!!!
Randy is No Ka Oi..THE BEST!!
When we were planning our 25th Wedding anniversary from Florida to be held at the Four Seasons in Ko Olina, they highly recommended Randy Allen.
We got in touch with Randy via email and text, we talked about what songs we wanted him to perform and that my sister n law who lives there wanted sing a special Hawaiian song called 'Ei Nei' during the ceremony. I was also working on a gift I wanted to surprise my husband with, so I talked to Randy about singing the 'Traditional Hawaiian Wedding Song' by Elvis and I was going to hire a hula dancer to dance to the song and when in the ceremony I wanted them to perform.
Randy made it happen it was all so very beautiful, we couldn't be more happy with how everything came together that day it was flawless!!
Hire him he's very easy to work with, you will not be disappointed!!
The words "The Best!" or "Awesome!" is an under statement. In fact, there are no words to describe his voice, literally!! The moment I stepped out of the car and waited to walk down the aisle, I was already in tears! My florist had to distract me and make me laugh so I wouldn't cry. LOL.
Not only is his voice AMAZING, he's so laid back and accommodating to what your song choices are. If he doesn't know the song, he'll try his best to sing it.
Piece of advice: He plays at Mai Tais bar, lobby bar, and other places. You should go to see him and trust me...You'll hear his voice and WILL book him!
LOOK NO FURTHER AND HIRE RANDY BEFORE HE'S BOOKED! Randy is extremely talented and we highly recommend him. From our initial contact until his follow up after our reception, Randy was kind, professional, very easy to work with and accommodating with our 'playlist'. He backed up every one of his 5 star ratings during his performance. Just be prepared for when people stop paying attention to you and are focused on him instead. j/k, but fo real.
Randy is an outstanding performer and a great guy as well! He was incredibly professional, interacted extremely well with our guests, and had a song for every type of request that we made. We highly recommend Randy.
We had Randy play at our rehearsal dinner and at our wedding, and he was fabulous both nights! His professionalism, his engaging personality, and, of course, his musical talents all contributed to our perfect wedding. Thank you Randy!
Impressive! On time, professional, overly accommodating and talented sums up my review. Aloha...
Randy is the best!
I work in the industry and have always admired Randy for his talent and professionalism. When it came to planning my own wedding, I knew we needed to hire him.
He was so easy to coordinate with; I told him the basics of what I wanted and left the rest up to his judgement and he did a great job. He was even willing to learn two obscure songs that I wanted incorporated in the ceremony.
As both a bride and a vendor, I can honestly say that Randy Allen Is a pleasure to work with. Our guests are still raving about him!
We had Randy perform for our wedding in Kailua. He showed up a few minutes early (which is always appreciated) and provided our guests with a wonderful performance. We only wish we had more time to sit and listen to him play. Mahalo Randy!
Randy's incredible talent at our beautiful Lanikai wedding was the talk of our family for weeks. We couldn't be more appreciative of his time and skill. His performance prior to the wedding kept everyone calm and patient regardless of our late arrival, he played a perfect rendition of "Somewhere over the Rainbow" as I walked down the aisle to my soon to be husband, and serenaded our guests on the lanai for cocktail hour. He was truly the perfect fit for our intimate waterfront wedding and his melody fit right in with our location and overall feel of the wedding. Randy was extremely easy to work with, on time, and beyond excellent. We would highly recommend him for any event!
Randy Allen is so very very talented and definitely my favorite!! I have had the pleasure of hearing him perform many times at events and different venues, being in the industry myself. Since he is a favorite of mine, we asked if he could play at our wedding this summer. I was so honored he agreed, and am forever grateful to him contributing to making our wedding so amazing. Our guests were blown away during cocktail hour when he played. He creates such a great vibe and adds personality and life to the party or event. His vocal ability, song choices, guitar arrangements, warm and inviting persona and professionalism make him the perfect pick in choosing a musician. Anyone who does will be so very happy they did!
I can't thank Randy enough along with Von Baron and Michael Grande for the amazing talent and performance they've done at me and my sister's graduation party. His music was beyond what I expected and our guests really loved him! I received many compliments from friends and family at the end of the night. When my sister and I were looking for a musician to play at our party, many of the ones we Googled and Yelped were wedding performers and we feared that our party would be too wedding like. Because Randy has is able to play a variety of different genres, he played the right type of music for our party. Randy was absolutely professional. He was easy to work with and that definitely alleviated a lot of stress during the party planning process. He responded to emails and text messages very promptly, he takes song requests, his website was easy to navigate, and he definitely made the night unforgettable. I am beyond happy, grateful, and completely satisfied for everything he has done. I highly recommend him to everyone who's planning their next event :) Thanks again!
Randy is a truly awesome performer. Very professional and personable at the same time. He tailored the session exactly to our wishes. Throughout the evening, we had many people come up to us and comment about how great the music was. I highly recommend Randy. Thank you for making our party extra memorable!
INCREDIBLE, absolutely incredible!!! Randy sang at both our ceremony and reception and it was unbelievable. From the very start with the booking process all the way til the end of the wedding night Randy was an absolute professional and really made sure he got all the details of the songs prior to the special day.
During the actual wedding day we got TONS of compliments on Randy from our guests and many were even asking if he had CD's that they can purchase. The way he puts his own spin on the songs he sang was great and his song selection was the best ever! I would recommend Randy to all my friends and family. MAHALO RANDY!
Hey Randy. We would like to thank you for being a part of such an amazing wedding. Your music was great and exactly what we were looking for. We received many compliments from our friends and family about your music, and they all enjoyed themselves at the ceremony and cocktail hour. We very much enjoyed your playlist, which was very crafty and diverse, and the timing of all of your songs was just perfect. Truly a professional. Thank you again!
Randy was flexible, professional and an excellent musician. He has a gigantic repertoire and is willing to accommodate your personal requests, as well. His rate was reasonable and he was a major enhancement to our day.
Thank you, Randy!

Randy! How can I ever thank him enough for his wonderful performance at our wedding? All my guests were blown away by his selections and his talent! He even went way out of his way to accommodate my request to incorporate some Latin type dance music by forming a unique collaboration with a DJ friend of his, and playing together. Thank you so much, Randy and team! You were all simply phenomenal!!
Randy Allen is a great performer. We hired him to perform for our Wedding Reception cocktail hour, our first dance, and dinner hour. Our reception was at Lanikuhonua on July 5, 2016. I found him by Instagram, youtube, and recommendation from my wedding planner Neu Events. He was very responsive with all emails. We grew up on 80s and 90s music. His play list for the reception was so great. All of our guests kept asking, "where did you find him?". It was one great song after another. I was so glad he did our first dance, it made it even more special. I wish we had one camera just recording his entire performance so I can replay it over and over. I did not really get to sit and listen to him sing during cocktail hour because we were taking our formal photos, so a week later we went to Tiki's to catch him perform. He was so great and even sat down with us for a drink during his break. He was so worth it and made our reception so much more memorable.
Randy Allen, the man, the myth, the legend. I met Randy after he performed a set in Waikiki, and immediately recognized his talent and breadth of music he could play; knowing right away he would be perfect for our wedding. After getting to know Randy, through the preparation, execution, and follow up process; Randy is a true professional, a genuine person you would be honored to work with, and is now a friend.
Music is vital to me; in fact it was one of the key components to our wedding; as it should be for so many events. The music sets and maintains the mood for any event. With a guest list of 130; I knew it would be a tough task for a one man band. Randy’s voice, looping abilities, and composure blew away all our guests; I had more complements about Randy than anything else at our celebration. Randy was more than receptive to our requests, performing them to a T. Not only is he great as a supplemental piece for the ceremony; cocktail hour; dinner, and dances; but he is even more impressive in his ability to carry an entire wedding dance party; playing songs that everyone recognized and loved his beautiful versions of. The crowd was so impressed; chants of “Randy, Randy, Randy” began organically…
Thanks so much to Randy and Donny (Sound Technician) for making our wedding and dance party such a success, I couldn’t have imagined anything better.
