AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!

We are soooo happy that David played at our wedding reception and his music selection was so on point!!! The songs were a wonderful blend of both of our tastes and he chose perfect songs for the special things we did during the reception. Not to mention, his voice alone is INCREDIBLE!! Everyone loved him and talked about wanting him to play at their events in the future so we will definitely be seeing him again! Mahalo nui, David!!

Ellsworth made our night.

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!

Soloist didn't perform 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.
