We had Ravi for our ceremony and cocktail hour. He brought the perfect vibes to both! When it came to music, he had a ton he already could perform, but when I asked him if there wa...
s any way for him to learn a new one for my walk down the aisle (Invisible String by Taylor Swift), he said he would, and then just blew me away with the beauty of it. I wish I had been able to enjoy more of his music, but we were off doing photos during the cocktail hour. Every one of my guests could not say enough about how wonderful his music was and how unique it felt to have a live ukulele artist/ guitarist at the event. Additionally, we got to see him right as he was leaving, and he thanked US for introducing him to a new song for weddings, which I thought was very sweet. I cannot recommend him enough- the moment I went to look him up as a suggested vendor, I knew he would bring exactly the energy we would want on our wedding day. Thank you Ravi!!

ved that Ravi took the time to learn a requested song of my choosing. A highlight of the wedding is when Ravi played the song I requested, which was a very special surprise for my husband.

Mahalo nui loa Ravi for helping make the wedding of my dreams.
