DJ/Emcee with lighting services
He did an amazing job on our big day. The dance floor, music, and lighting were great. He was very attentive when it came to how we wanted to order things as far as announcements and music list. He has a website where you can organize most dances you want along with songs and music. He is very busy during the week but will respond over the weekend.He did an amazing job on our big day.

Great DJ, Great Price
I did a ton of research to find the best value DJ in Honolulu. I was so thrilled with Hoku Entertainment, and specifically Edwin's DJ and MC services for my wedding. His online booking, planning, and payment portal made planning my destination wedding so easy. He took special care to make sure to play the right (remixed) version of one of our songs. He was also very responsive throughout the entire planning process.
I also appreciate that he took requests and made our wedding such a fun and lively environment.
For such amazing service, lighting, MCing, and music, I cannot get over the value for money.
I definitely recommend Hoku Entertainment to anyone getting married in Honolulu!I did a ton of research to find the best value DJ in Honolulu.

Fantastic and highly recommended
Extremely happy with Edwin and his dj-ing at our wedding. Him and his wife Jocelyn who did a photobooth for us (SnapnClicks photography) were the highlight of the party. Highly recommend hiring them both. Not only great value, but I would say quality of service was worth more than the price. All the equipment was also on point. 5 Stars all around!Extremely happy with Edwin and his dj-ing at our wedding.

Edwin is excellent overall! He is quick to respond, clarify, and answer any questions leading up to the event. On the wedding night, Edwin was on top of it and easily adapted to any changes to the wedding timeline. Coming from a wedding coordinator, I couldn't ask for a better DJ/Emcee to work with. The best part: my client loved him!Edwin is excellent overall! He is quick to respond, clarify, and answer any questions leading up to the event.

Edwin was amazing at our wedding! He was so flexible and worked around our schedule. He had a great playlist and noted all of our requests. Edwin played great music for the kids to dance to and then great music for all the adults. Everyone had a great time and couldn’t stop talking about how fun dancing was. The lights he brought for our tent were beautiful! I was so surprised when I walked in. His prices are the best around and I’m so happy we went with him. Highly recommended!Edwin was amazing at our wedding! He was so flexible and worked around our schedule. He had a great playlist and noted all of our requests.

We hired Edwin for his karaoke services at our post-wedding reception after party. Booking was easy, he was very responsive to emails/questions, and payment was simple. Our guests found him to be personable and competent, and he was very good at prioritizing bride/groom requests. We had a number of other things to deal with that day, but we didn't have to pay any extra attention to Edwin, which is probably one of the highest compliments you can pay a wedding vendor, and extra impressive considering we had not met him before that day. (We didn't need to/ask to, since he wasn't emcee-ing the wedding or doing anything that required coordination.)
For the karaoke itself, we really weren't sure what to expect, since there aren't many reviews of karaoke vendors on Oahu at all. Edwin brought a full set up with speakers, a monitor, and wireless mics. The song choice was really extensive (except no Hawaiian or local songs, boo). Everyone had a really great time, and we would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a mobile karaoke vendor.We hired Edwin for his karaoke services at our post-wedding reception after party.

We're glad we found Edwin at Hoku Entertainment through Weddingwire. Edwin was very responsive & attentive with what we wanted and needed. One of the most affordable I found & he did a great job being our DJ & emcee. He delivered what we had expected. Also kudos to his wife, Jocelyn, for providing our photo booth. They're both very professional & very easy to work with. Thank you very much Hoku Entertainment!

I hired Hoku Entertainment for my wedding in October 2016. They were great. We hired them for DJ/MC servies and they also did our up lighting. Edwin and his wife were really nice and easy to work with. They have an online database where you can put the list of songs you want, which I thought was very convenient. He tried hard to play all the music we requested and set up the sound system for ceremony. I thought everything went smoothly and we had so much fun! The lighting and our logo was beautiful; it made everything look really grand. ?? Personally I thought they were l affordable compared to other companies.I hired Hoku Entertainment for my wedding in October 2016. They were great.

Edwin was very accommodating and responsive to our emails and requests. Since we live in California, all of our arrangements had to be done through emails and phone calls. On the wedding day, the set up that he had for us was amazing. The lights and fog that was set up surpassed our expectations. He had a great music selection and accommodated to my choice of Cambodian music. He's also a great MC and knew how to get the crowd going when he noticed that the crowd needed a little pick me up after a dinner. He's also flexible and allowed me and my guests to change up the music selection and make song requests during the dance portion of the wedding. I would highly recommend Edwin.Edwin was very accommodating and responsive to our emails and requests.

Edwin, our DJ, was amazing! From the moment we requested a quote until the end of the wedding, Edwin was always helpful and courteous. Our MC, Cliff, was excellent and exactly what we wanted and needed for the night.
The price was unbeatable, and they were flexible enough to provide us uplighting at a great price (compared to the rental companies).

I gave a pretty vague idea of what I wanted for each part of the ceremony and reception, but he handled it effortlessly. I would HIGHLY recommend Hoku for your next event or wedding!Bride speaking...

Despite the short amount of time to plan for this event, Edwin was wonderful to work with and was very professional. I gave him very little time (one day) work on my slide show, but I was very happy with the result. As a professional event planner, I would recommend Edwin to others and hire him again for future events.Despite the short amount of time to plan for this event, Edwin was wonderful to work with and was very professional.

Edwin was far more interactive throughout the planning process than I expected which put my mind at ease. His website provides an event planning function that allows you to have full control of the reception by creating and editing a timeline, making a specific playlist for the event, and about two weeks prior I submitted my final timeline and music sheet. The day of the wedding Edwin introduced himself and went over all the major reception events so that there would be no surprise and to ensure we were all on the same page. The wedding reception went better than I could've ever imagined it, he even put together a customized intro of each member of our bridal and groom party, that was a very nice personal touch that none of them expected. I am rating Edwin Sproat with a 5/5 because he truly put my mind at ease, was very responsive in his emails and phone calls, and delivered exceptional DJ/MC services on the wedding day.

First off, there are not many mobile karaoke vendors offered in Hawaii. However, after using Hoku Entertainment, there is no doubt that I made the right decision.
Edwin was awesome to work with and helped roll out an unbelievable mobile Karaoke room at the Honolulu Museum of Art's monthly event, "Art After Dark" to include the entire Karaoke setup, and lights to help enhance the experience. I would definitely recommend him for any corporate gig, and I'm looking to book him for future personal parties that I'm involved with.First off, there are not many mobile karaoke vendors offered in Hawaii.
