Kai Malo'o Entertainment

We typically arrive and set up our professional sound system 30–60 minutes before the scheduled performance, when sound equipment is required. Performance times vary based on the type of event and your selected package, from short 30-minute performances to 1–3 hour engagements. After the performance, we typically allow 20–30 minutes to break down our sound system.

Kai Malo’o Entertainment has been providing professional live music in Hawaii for more than 20 years. We specialize in island-inspired live entertainment, featuring Hawaiian classics, island favorites and contemporary acoustic music for events of all kinds.

From soulful solo singer-guitarists to duos, trios and full bands, we offer flexible live music options tailored to the size, style and atmosphere of your event. Our musicians perform for weddings, proposals, private parties, corporate events, restaurants, celebrations, memorial services and celebrations of life.

We also offer Virtual DJ services, providing a budget-friendly alternative to a traditional live DJ. With professional sound and optional lighting, Virtual DJ is a flexible option for weddings, corporate events, private parties and other gatherings.

At Kai Malo’o Entertainment, we believe great entertainment starts with being easy to work with. We take the time to understand your event, communicate clearly and help select the right music and entertainment option for your occasion. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, we're here to provide professional live music with a distinctly Hawaiian feel and a personal touch.

Kai Malo’o Entertainment provides professional-grade sound systems for live music performances, including speakers, microphones and other necessary audio equipment. Sound can be tailored to the venue, number of musicians and size of the event.

Professional event lighting is also available to enhance the atmosphere for evening performances, weddings, private parties, corporate events and other celebrations.

Our battery-powered sound systems allow us to perform at locations without access to electrical power, making them ideal for beaches, parks, picnics, proposals and other remote or outdoor locations. When power is available, access to a standard electrical outlet is preferred.

For outdoor events, a covered or shaded performance area is recommended to protect musical and sound equipment from direct sun and weather. For beach and remote-location events, please provide the location and setup details when requesting a quote so we can recommend the appropriate equipment.

We handle sound setup and breakdown, so clients generally do not need to provide their own audio equipment. Equipment needs are coordinated in advance to ensure the appropriate sound and lighting setup for your event.
