The Hawaiian Wedding Singer

was a magical moment. We left our ruby slippers at home, but he definitely brought a piece of home to our parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary beach celebration. He played beautiful music for the entire ceremony and some group dances at the end. Highly recommend Kanekoa! Mahalo!

hly recommend him for any event.

e us great advice on ceremony time, location, etc., since we couldn’t be there ourselves to scout all those things out. On the day, things were crazy, as expected, and I couldn’t answer his texts or calls as I was getting into my dress, but he still managed to find our party on the beach without an issue and everything turned out perfectly! His song list is beautiful and just right if you’re looking for ukulele music for your ceremony but don’t want to have to think too hard about the program because you have enough on your plate already (unless you’re looking to really personalize or tailor your song choices). Thank you so much, Kanekoa, for everything!!

ter’s destination wedding in Oahu, Hawaii for April 2020. One of the bride’s dream was to have a musician played the ukulele during the ceremony. For those brides & grooms looking for a musician for their event he is the one! Unfortunately, a month before her wedding we had to cancel due COVID-19 a global pandemic. I commend his level of professionalism, and commitment during the very difficult decision to cancel our daughter’s wedding. We look forward to visiting Oahu in the future and meeting in person our new Hawaiian native friend “Kanekoa”

erfectly. He was very nice and had a warm personality. You will not go wrong by booking him.

guests really enjoyed his performance and he was a true professional. I recommend his services. Mahalo!

ch he is open to, by the way), I say just go with the flow and let him help you figure out what to play when, etc. The nice thing about using a live performer like HWS who knows what he's doing is that he can adjust as needed. Our timing was a bit off in our intimate backyard wedding (people walked down the aisle really quickly), but he was able to adjust and play partial songs and sing what made sense throughout. His music was beautiful, and he was even kind enough to accommodate a very last minute equipment change. The only thing I wish I'd done is possibly hire 2 musicians to add a guitar and use the full amplification so that the music was even more prominent during the cocktail hour. The ocean is loud! But, as HWS, he does have a strong baritone voice, so it all worked out.

ons especially The Hawaiian Wedding Song. It was so nice having music after the ceremony during pictures as well, keeping the magic alive. His responses were always prompt and professional, very easy to work with. I would highly recommend Kanekoa if you're looking for that extra special touch to your ceremony.

t a vendor. He is part of the family. Koa we love you.

my wife. A true professional, I would highly recommend without a doubt!

sk him to come back again, the next time we want to entertain guests at our home. I highly recommend Kanekoa to anyone who wants a professional, prompt, excellent ukulele musician at their party. Two thumbs up!

nted. We could not be more grateful for his presence at our wedding and would recommend him to anyone who wants to have an unforgettable day accompanied by amazing music.

m my family and friends in attendance after our ceremony was completed because of the beautiful music he provided. If you are travelling from afar and want a true, authentic Hawaiian wedding experience, hire Kanekoa!!! Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

e rainbow at the conclusion of the ceremony, and then played acoustic ukulele for guests to enjoy after the ceremony. We loved all of it!!

! I would highly recommend his services for all beach wedding ceremonies in Hawaii!

e perfect moment and introduced our beautiful hula dancer who gave lessons to all interested. I would highly recommend him for weddings or any special occasion.

ight choice. He is very social, blended in as part of our family during the ceremony. His songs and playing the ukulele added such a calming, topical feel. Thank you for being a part of our celebration. Denis and Luana Brisson

g day--in person. What a great talent and lovely addition to our small wedding. Would not have been the same or as memorable without his music !

ed a some intimate music. We found Kanekoa's site and thought that a special Hawaiian touch would be perfect for guests who were travelling so far. We were able to organise the play list with Kanekoa and payment all via Australia with ease. He was punctual, played and sang magnificently. A true gentleman and artist who complemented our ceremony perfectly. Highly recommended.

w he was the one we would have on our special day. He was so informative, replied quickly, answered all of my questions, and gave great recommendations for music during the ceremony and after in the courtyard. After our wedding ceremony, we received so many compliments on Kanekoa’s ukulele playing and singing. People thought it was a nice touch that made the ceremony feel more intimate and personable. I am SO glad that we went with Kanekoa and would recommend him to anyone looking to add a personal touch to their wedding or event!

queries we had. On the day itself, Kanekoa was prompt and added a lovely vibe to our intimate reception dinner on the beach at the Kahala. A special treat not only for us but all our guests. Mahalo again for contributing to our most special of days. Angie and Matthew

ring the entire ceremony. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend him for your special day and we wish to thank him again for his great performance! Warren and Yoko

and vibe, exactly what we were looking for. He is easy to contact and responds relatively quickly. He accommodates your wants and needs and sounds great doing it! Honestly, I was so preoccupied walking down the isle, I don't remember what he sounded like..but I gut a lot of complements on him! I highly recommend using him for your wedding ceremony musician!

es

Catholic Church (a.k.a. The Painted Church). Kanekoa added the very important final touch to our ceremony to truly make our day special. All of our guests truly enjoyed his music during the ceremony and afterwards while we took pictures. We highly recommend his services.

Kanekoa provided just that, by both his music and his presence (no cheesy hawaiian shirt or leis here!). On the day, his music was true to the samples on his website, and complimented our ceremony perfectly. For any couples planning their wedding on the island of Oahu, we would highly recommend him!
