Bennie DJ'ed my recent wedding at Pig and the Lady. He was definitely worth every penny!…read more I got many comments from guests on what a great DJ he was. Everyone had so much fun dancing to his tunes, which were a perfect mix of soul, reggae, Latin and pop from various decades. He excels at reading a crowd and isn't afraid to bail on songs that turn out less popular. He took both my pre-selected requests (and "do not play" list) and the requests of other guests, even downloading a reggaeton song to his phone during the party. Also, he and his assistant Faye are a breeze to work with. They respond very quickly to emails and they met with us beforehand to make sure everything was good to go. I'd definitely recommend him for your wedding or any other event. Thanks Bennie and Faye!

Working with Toshi and his team at Spectrum Entertainment was honestly like hitting the jackpot for…read moreour wedding. We still talk about how lucky we were to find them. Not only is Toshi an incredible DJ and MC, but he's the kind of professional who clearly pours his heart into his work. The sound, the lighting, the equipment... everything was top‑tier. You can tell he invests in quality, and it truly elevated the entire atmosphere of our celebration. What really stood out was how present and supportive he was throughout the whole process. From the early planning stages to the final moments of the night, Toshi was right there with us--organized, thoughtful, and always one step ahead. He worked seamlessly with our amazing planner Emmarose from TGA, and together they created a vibe that felt effortless, joyful, and completely "us." Our guests kept telling us how incredible the energy was, and that's 100% thanks to him. The flow of the evening, the transitions, the timing, the way he read the room--it was all spot on. You could feel his experience and passion in every moment. And when it came to the more ambitious parts of our setup, he and his team handled everything with total confidence and professionalism. Nothing felt too big or too complicated for them. If you're looking for a team in Hawaii that brings creativity, vision, and the ability to pull off even the most ambitious production, Spectrum Entertainment is the one. I truly can't recommend them enough. They helped make our wedding unforgettable, and we're so grateful for everything they did to make the day feel magical.

With this and their services problems, I am looking for something better.

My wife and I live in the SF Bay Area and wanted a destination wedding in Oahu. We travel to Oahu…read moreonce or twice a year anyway and thought it would be a nice way to double up as a vacay for family and close friends. Initially we expected 40 - 45 people, so it wouldn't be that big of a deal, right? Well..... 10 more people got added.... And then another 10 were added... And then 20 more... And all of a sudden our initial headcount doubled. Yikes, it evolved into a big deal. We had to manage, coordinate, and pay for vendors based on phone/email and a 5 hour flight away. This would prove to be a daunting task... Mike Bell and his team came highly rated on The Knot so we gave him a call. He's super chill, professional, and competitive with his pricing. Once we expressed interest in his DJ services, he forwarded us a questionnaire. It asked about the types of music that we like and the types of music that we don't like (aka music that will be banned). It asked which specific songs would be played during which specific portion of the reception (entrance music, father daughter dance, garter toss, bouquet toss, cake cutting, etc). It was very specific as to which version of the song (original, cover, acoustic, etc), which artist, and which year. We thought to ourselves that a person that puts this much thought and attention into his questionnaires would put even more into the actual event itself. DJ services: Done. Many of our family has kids, so we wanted to add a little fun to the reception. We were hoping for a photobooth. We reached out to all of our potential vendors for leads and contacts. Mike Bell stated that he had a guy and if we opted to upgrade our DJ package, he would throw in the photobooth for free. Photobooth: Done. Next, our event coordinator asked us who was doing our "uplighting". We explained that we thought that lights were included in the package. She said that basic room lighting is included with the reception, but suggested we hire a vendor to do our "uplighting".... Grrrrrreat, let's add something new to our ever growing list. Again, we reached out to our potential vendors for leads and contacts. And again, Mike Bell came through in the clutch. He stated that for a nominal fee, he'll handle all of the lighting. Uplighting (whatever that is): Done. Lastly, our pastor was unable to make it to Hawaii because he already had an event scheduled for that weekend. We reached out to our event coordinator and all of our vendors for leads and contacts..... And lo and behold... Mike Bell himself is a wedding officiant. And he's not just qualified...... he's kind of overqualified. He circulated another detailed questionnaire about our relationship to help provide more insight and to make the ceremony personal. We checked out samples of his work on YouTube and were brought to tears. His words were extremely inspirational. Wedding Officiant: Done. Our daunting task of hiring vendors was cut in half because of the services of Mike Bell and his team. Fast forward to the wedding day.... Mike spoke such powerful words at our ceremony. It spoke to both of us and brought about tears of joy. He used a lot of material from the questionnaires to personalize his anecdotes. I felt like I knew him since kindergarten. And so did some of my family, LOL. Feel free to peep the video here. https://vimeo.com/252007158 Mike killed it (in a good way) at the reception. He played all of the music from our extensive playlists and made some good executive decisions on his own. When he noticed that people weren't dancing to specific types of songs, he'd fade it and return to ones that brought people back out. He noticed that the Electric Slide brought a lot of people to the dance floor, so once things started slowing down on the dance floor, he switched back to the Electric Slide, followed by the Cupid Shuffle, followed by Cha Cha Shuffle 1 and 2. The dance floor was packed. And it was 25 minutes of non-stop cardio and sweat flying all over the place. The lighting was beautiful. Feel free to peep the photos here. http://www.mesascottohana.wedding/photos/1542334 The photobooth was so fun. I kept looking over at the bar and thinking to myself that our bar tab was going to be super expensive because the line was long .... all night. And then I realized that it was the line to the photobooth, which was adjacent to the bar. Phew, that was a close one. Mike and his crew provided a ton of fun accessories and props. The technology was top notch and self supported. You simply click on the button on the screen, pose, and wait for it to print. There was staff on hand to add paper and answer questions, but it was super easy to use. My nephews and nieces had a blast. Kortni and I highly recommend Mike for all of your wedding needs: DJ, lighting, photobooth, officiating Mike Bell and his staff are top notch. Blessings, Vince & Kortni

In short--Mike Bell was a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT and took our money without rendering any services…read more Called us "disgusting" for wanting our money back even though he was the one who cancelled on us 2 months before our wedding. Several of our vendors said they did not like him and that we were better off without him. Before COVID hit, I chose Mike because of his ratings, his charisma, and his willingness to decrease his price to match another DJ. When one of my vendors asked which DJ we went with we told her Mike Bell and she didn't say anything, but she had this look that made me think, "I wonder what happened for her to have that reaction." Our wedding was supposed to be in April 2020, but with the CDC gathering restrictions of 50, we decided to postpone. Mike said he would be able to do our wedding which we decided to move to September 2020. Of course things were still not good then, so we decided to wait a whole year in hopes things would be better in HI by September 2021. Come July 2021 we get an email from our coordinators saying that Mike may not attend the wedding due to him moving back to the mainland and not wanting to take any of the 3 steps to travel to HI. I emailed him if he would be able to attend and he replied it would be a good idea to get a backup DJ in case the restrictions wouldn't be lifted by September 2021. So 2 months before my wedding I frantically looked for a new DJ, this time going with a recommendation from our coordinators. Go with Crichton with The Perfect Wedding DJs. He literally saved us and is the kindest person who has a heart and cares for couples! I emailed Mike asking for a refund since he was cancelling on us in which he stated we would not get a refund. I couldn't believe that he wouldn't even offer a partial refund...HE WAS THE ONE CANCELLING ON US! I then wrote back stating we would take legal action in which he replied that our actions were "disgusting." Really? You're the one taking ALL of the money without rendering any services (again--he cancelled on us!) and then calling us "disgusting." Really goes to show the character of this guy. He then attempted to defend himself by saying it was for his safety (if it was, you would take any of the 3 steps to make it to our wedding)...but obviously it was about his greed. He wrote the date was a "courtesy date transfer" and nowhere in the contract did it say he needed to attend our wedding in September. Out of all of our vendors, he was the only one who used this excuse. Even if we didn't sign a contract with the other vendors of the new date, they still went by their word when they agreed to be at our wedding. This got me thinking that he probably had already planned to screw couples over which is why he didn't have us sign any contracts. If he really was planning on attending the wedding--and the contract is so important for him--then he would've made us sign a new one. He also attempted to make us feel like we missed an opportunity by writing that he would've (yeah right) recommended to us another DJ, but decided against it because he didn't want us suing these DJs. 1) You still have our money for services you didn't render, 2) Why would we trust your judgment after you stole our money? 3) So you were going to tell us last second of a trusted DJ when you had told us to look for a backup DJ? Bunch of BS. Do not go with Mike Bell. Completely unethical guy and not looking out for couples at all, only looking out for money.
