Ellsworth was our musician last night. Thank you to David of Akahi Productions for sending him over. Ellsworth made the vibe of our party. Everyone made a point of letting me know how good Ellsworth was. I’m so grateful to Ellsworth and Akahi Productions for making our party something everyone enjoyed. It was nice to see people singing and dancing to Ellsworth’s music. Our friends asked for his name. I would book Ellsworth again! I highly recommend him for your wedding or party. You won’t be disappointed. He’s punctual, professional, and friendly. He put effort into making sure we heard our special songs. Thank you Ellsworth! Thank you to David for making sure we had the best match for our party.
PS one of our friends recognized Ellsworth as the musician for her wedding more than 10 yrs ago. She said everyone at her wedding loved him as well!

It was embarrassing and so disappointing. The gentleman who came to render a song couldn't sing at all. It wasn't only me who noticed it. Everybody noticed it and they asked me who hired the Singer..although, part of my payment was refunded( I gave $100 donation, it wasn't a tip because he didn't perform as we expected or hoped for) he was just sitting in one corner and I felt bad for him, so I gave him $100...money isn't the issue but your production sent someone who can't sing at all. I'm totally disappointed because it was my beloved dad's funeral service.
So glad he was available for our event!
Would hire him again in a second!
Talented and kind!
Bravo!

We sponsored an invite-only event for our business partners during a recent conference. We wanted to create a sophisticated, upscale atmosphere for this partner appreciation event. We hired Kamuela Kahoano to play acoustic guitar with a mix of genres including island, R&B, current hits, etc. He was asked to keep it light in order to allow for free conversation during the evening. One of our team members who attended the event is also a musician. When asked about the entertainment, he commented, "He was really good, did a great job, really great vibe -- just enough without overdoing it. Awesome choice for an entertainer for our event."
Akahi productions was a hit. The music during the start of dinner was so soothing. It had our guest enjoy their dinner. During the line dance show, everyone enjoyed it. Heads turned right away. Definitely a win hiring Akahi Productions again.
David was awesome. We had a special request that was not on his playlist that he learned and played on our special night. Thanks again for making our event unforgettable.
Response from Akahi Productions:
Was my pleasure. Thank you for having me be part of your special day.
We liked Eric's laid back vibe. He helped make our day that much more special.
I absolutely loved having David perform at my wedding! I was doing everything last minute, planning like crazy from buffalo New York. David was so understanding, helped me a ton with planning, showed up early. The fact that he has the most melodic voice was just the cherry on top. Everyone came up to me and told me what a wonderful singer he was, and my friends had a little too much fun dancing to the songs he was afterwards. It was such a pleasure to work with him.
Response from Akahi Productions:
Thank you for the review and congratulations!!!
Alex was amazing! All our guests loved him! He played great music for three straight hours!
Response from Akahi Productions:
Thank you. I will let Alex know.
We had Akahi Productions for fire knife dance at our wedding. They were punctual and easy to work with. Our guests had an amazing time during their performance. 15 minutes felt like 5 minutes because time flies when we're having a good time!
David did an awesome hour and a half performance. Early to set up and start. Brought his own equipment. He sang a wide variety of songs and styles and killed them all!

We used Akahi for to help us supply a fire knife dancer for our 2017 destination wedding on Oahu. Akahi was a recommendation from another stellar vendor. David was super responsive throughout the process with all of the questions that I had.
Even with the crazy wind the night of our wedding, the fire knife dancer was able to go off without a hitch. About a quarter of the guests at our wedding spin poi and every single one of them was crazy impressed with the show. It was a highlight for sure.
Would 100% recommend Akahi to anyone who was looking for wedding entertainment and beyond! I don't have our formal pics yet, but will 100% be uploading those once we have them!
Mahalo nui loa!
He was late to our ceremony and was suppose to play for an hour but left after 30 minutes.
Exactly what we were looking for. Ukulele during a small wedding ceremony, then ukulele during cocktail hour, then guitar at dinner. Agreeable price. Easy to deal with. Performers were professional, nice, and very talented. Everyone kept saying, "wow, you hired really good musicians." I'd respond, "apparently I did!" Guests were all very impressed.
Thanks to Akahi Productions for making a very memorable wedding day!
David and hula dancer were great- very professional, talented and much aloha!
Everyone enjoyed the fire dance! Chief Atua was very interactive and made it more fun. Mahalo. We are very happy with his fire dancing and being on time!!
Our guests had a great time at our casual oceanside wedding. The music was perfect for our event. We are very happy we found a Akahi productions. Alika was great on the ukelele!
The whole team was very professional. The Hula dancers and singing was absolutely beautiful. It start the whole night off and ensured the banquet was a success. They were very patient with me, while I had to make last minute changes. Next, we had the Fire Dancer and that shows was extremely impressive. The crowd was mesmerized by the performances. The whole staff was such a great team and everything works perfect. I will be using Akahi Productions for all my events and recommend them to everyone!!
Kamuela did a fantastic job! Beautiful voice and so accommodating with bride's song requests!
Thank you for your friendly professionalism. It was a perfect day!
Excellent entertainment by David at Akahi productions. Having David play guitar and sing set up a very nice atmosphere we enjoyed it
