Nate Kanae

We were incredibly honored to have Nate as part of our parents’ Celebration of Life in Hawaiʻi, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very first interaction, Nate was kind, flexible, and deeply respectful—especially given the emotional and meaningful nature of the ceremony.

As a musician, Nate is exceptional. His music added a profound sense of peace, reverence, and aloha to the ceremony, grounding the moment in the spirit of Hawaiʻi. His delivery of the Hawaiian blessings was beautiful and deeply moving, elevating the experience for our family and everyone present.

Beyond his talent, Nate is simply a wonderful human being. He brought warmth, humility, and genuine care to the day, making us feel supported and at ease. He treated our family like ʻohana, and that meant everything to us. Nate played an essential role in making our parents’ Celebration of Life truly meaningful and unforgettable. We are deeply grateful.

Mahalo nui loa, Nate!

Nate Kana'e was a pleasure to work with, we had hired him for an alumni event to play some Hawaiian music. He was not only very responsive but also so down-to-earth and kind. He went out of his way to view the venue beforehand, started setting up with his own equipment, and made sure to accommodate any music requests. Would highly recommend Nate Kana'e, thank you again Nate!

A wonderful, wonderful musician and spirit. He was THE highlight of our wedding and we are so grateful!

Nate was wonderful. He showed up early, met all my family, and was super easy to deal with. He went with the flow and did a great job adding to the atmosphere of my proposal. I would highly recommend him.

Nate was a fantastic addition to our wedding welcome party. He set a relaxing and fun vibe, and our guests really enjoyed it. We’re so glad we had them there to make the evening special.
