“You cannot go wrong with Milk Major! One of my biggest concerns for our wedding was getting a DJ who could entertain young, old, Spanish speaking and non Spanish speaking and Milk Major knocked it out of the park!! Every one was dancing and I got so much positive feedback from my guests on just how great he was! Not only that, but he was incredibly helpful navigating the day and making sure everything was going according to plan and timeline. Our wedding was amazing and I owe that to him!!”

“Diego outreached me to provide a review as he started his own company. I was than happy to help write a review given the great experience we had with him. There are many things you’ll remember about your own wedding (e.g. the effort put into planning, the worry as some minor things go wrong and the epic time you had celebrating), but I never thought that our DJ would be one of the things we commonly reflect on. We selected the music, but Diego really brought it to life and made it a great event. His professionalism and energy will synergize with everything else at your wedding/event. Review from my wedding a few years ago: You can't really have a bad wedding DJ experience with VOX Djs. The company itself has a good standard template for everything. The general experience from the company is as follows: 1) You meet with their office manager, tell them about you and your significant other. They take down the data as you guys discuss. 2) You agree on a package/price. 3) You pick a couple of DJs from their online roster to interview. 4) You interview the DJs via phone or in person meet up pending location after their availability is confirmed. 5) Tell the office manager who you want. 6) You'll get automated emails to fill out surveys that include a timeline for the event and music selection (from their online library which is fairly extensive) 7) Meet up with the DJ a couple of weeks before the wedding 8) Have the wedding. It's a good standard process. Now, if you pick DJ Diego with VOX...you can have a GREAT wedding experience. Diego followed all of the above and put in a variety of extra effort. About 4 months before the wedding, he helped us with creating a custom mix for our first dance. He got back to us with the mix within a week. 3 months before the wedding, we decided we wanted a different mix. We chatted with him briefly over email and he redid the mix for us again. A few weeks before the wedding, we met up at a coffee shop. He agreed to meet us half way as the VOX offices were far. During this session he went over all details that we submitted via their standard template and took notes on everything. He worked on pronunciation of everyone's names, timing of all music (down to the second of when various clips would play) and essentially scripted out the entire evening. Diego showed up 30 mins early the day of to make the most of his set up time at the venue. He was dressed very professionally and understood how to manage the crowd (mix of older family and fun friends). He was courteous to everyone, made clear announcements to guide the guests throughout the venue, maintained energy all night and truly was the voice of the wedding. Nothing is for certain when it comes to your big day, but Diego is excellent at preplanning and quick on his feet to fix problems and keep the proper emotions flowing with his DJing and Emcee skills. I without hesitation recommend Diego to anyone interested in VOX.”

Roman Candles Mobile DJ & MC Services

5.0

Honolulu, HI

DJ
Starts at $1,550

Aloha! I'm Roman. I've been living on the magical island of O'ahu since I came to UH Manoa in 2009 for my Economics Degree. I got involved with the University radio station (90.1 FM), started doing live events, and really loved showing off my rare music finds. Nothing beats the feeling of rocking a live crowd for track after track, especially after the long pause in events! DJing is all I do for "work", and I love it! Each wedding or event I play is full of different people and different ages from all over the world, and they all have differing tastes in music- blending so many different genres and styles of music is such a fun challenge!

“From start to finish, Roman was the best to work with. He was prompt in responding to my initial request for a quote. He made sure to answer all my questions before we agreed to a contract. He checked in with me several times before our big day. The best part was the website he uses to create your timeline and add any songs. I was able to add songs from my Spotify playlists and search for other songs. He worked great with my coordinator and my officiant. He played all the requested songs and our guests had such a great time on the dance floor. Another thing that I thought was great was that Roman literally played music until the last second even though most of the guests had left already and nobody was on the dance floor. Highly recommend Roman for your DJ and Emcee needs.”

DJ Hawaii

Aiea, HI

DJ
Starts at $2,500

I emcee most of my events because that is what I am well known for in Hawaii. I am not over the top but I deliver a smooth, non-intrusive show and program for guests to enjoy. I don’t like to get in the way of the “Life of the Party” I encourage everyone to enjoy themselves and allow them to experience their fun with friends and family. Being in public and having fun with others is not always an easy task for some. But if I can encourage “just one person” to be themselves and don’t worry about what people think about their dancing I feel I did more than make a person dance. I feel like I built their self-esteem.

Jesse, Dan, and the Hook Club team were super organized with their set list, deadlines for special requests, etc. leading up to the wedding. On the big day, the band was stunning - with outstanding instruments and vocals from all. They're got extensive range of songs/genres and had the audience engaged all night!”

Golden Bell Music

5.0

Oakland, CA

Band or Ensemble
Starts at $4,500
Serves Waipahu, HI for additional fees

Golden Bell offers a unique musical blend that packs a high-energy punch! The DJ/live fusion band, or DJ/live band hybrid, is always anchored on a DJ set but supported by live musicians. With all the energy and hype of a live band and the flexibility of a DJ, you won’t have to decide between hiring a band or a DJ for your next event or wedding.

“We had Golden Bells at our wedding and are so glad we did! They were wonderful to communicate with, and such a fun and unique vibe. We wanted the aspect of live music but didn't have space for a full band. It's fun that Golden Bells can do more unique music than a traditional wedding band since they don't need a vocalist for the songs. Highly recommend them!!”
