I met Jason and Justin at a best friends wedding in April 2024. So when my now husband and I started planning our April 2025 wedding we knew immediately who to contact for our DJ and emcee services because we had so much fun at their program and dancing along to their set. Jason coordinated and provided the DJ, Photobooth and Uplight Services. He and his team did a fantastic job. The uplights paired so well with our wall drapery and elevated the space. My husband and I along with our guests had a blast with the photobooth. Also, one of the highlights of the evening was when Jason played our requested Filipino songs- Awitin Mo at Isasayak Ko- and the crowd went nuts haha. Core memory for sure! Justin provided the emcee services and did a fantastic job with engaging our guests. Justin was also meticulous and took the time to get to know me and my husbands details like how we met, our favourite color and more to ensure a seamless program! If you are on the fence about getting this duo and their team, I hope this review would help in making your choice! They are professional, has timely and great communication, and most importantly they are fun and that translates to the crowd! Mahalo Jason, Justin and the Ono Kine Entertainment crew for making our wedding celebration so special for us and our families. read more

See all

Booked Jason and Ono Kine Entertainment for our wedding this past weekend and we're glad we did. The live music was essential and added a nice touch playing various Hawaiian favorites. From the beginning, Jason has been very professional, responsive, and flexible in planning for our big day. His services are priced very fairly and provided great talent with a friendly attitude. read more

So happy to have found Jason for my baby's first birthday. I was looking for a musician to entertain my guests for three hours while they ate and mingled. My friend reccomended Jason and I was impressed with clips I saw on the Knot website. I was planning the party from the mainland and Jason made it easy to communicate via email. The music really gave the party a relaxing vibe. He played classic Hawaiian songs and contemporary music as well. He also went the extra mile and had my baby's favorite Hawaiian kid songs on recording for when he took a break. I was happy with the music, proffesionalism and the price. Also if you are on the fence about music at your party, it is definitely needed, it sets the tone! read more

Ono Kine Entertainment - Musicians Near Me

Great experience with Imi. He showed up early to set up. He had a great selection of local favorites & he played them all with his own vocals & add on instrumental accompaniment. He was very good at going with the flow of our unscripted program & even made a couple of announcements for us. Ono Kine Entertainment handled all the scheduling & payment details and Imi delivered the awesome music & cool vibes! read more

Ono Kine Entertainment provided me with DJ and live entertainment. Prices are very reasonable. During the months/weeks prior to our party, Jason was always responsive to my questions. I also decided on having an Emcee last minute and I'm glad I did. Ono Kine Entertainment provided Justin, who was a great Emcee and knows how to engage a crowd (young and old), we all had lots of fun and laughter. I am so happy that I hired Jason/ Ono Kine Entertainment for my daughters graduation party at Aulani. I've witness him performing at another party so that is why I wanted him for my daughter's graduation. He is that good, a very talented singer, professional, and kind! I had so many compliments during the party. Thank you so much Jason/ Ono Kine Entertainment. read more

Jason was an amazing performer and DJ at our wedding! From the get-go, Jason provided us the best experience for us, both financially and professionally. He made sure that all of our needs and wants were met, and did an amazing job to make it all happen. Jason was super patient with me while I ran around practically without a head. He was very calm and showed so much kindness towards me, our MC Kwon, and our wedding coordinators. And his SINGING. I asked him to sing live prior to the wedding ceremony and as my parents walked me down the aisle. I requested for a lot of local/Hawaiian acoustic music. Everyone who came up to me to talk about Jason all complimented how lovely his voice sounded. My husband didn't realize that he would be singing live, so when he heard Jason, he thought that it was a recording of someone singing :,) I am so sad that I only heard Jason as I walked down the aisle, and not the entire time he was performing, but he made the moment with my parents and my husband very special by bringing on the sentimental ambience with his voice and guitar. During our reception, I left Jason practically in the dark regarding our plans. I gave him a general idea of what was going to happen, and all the little details in-between I did not iron out. But, Jason was a real pro, where he improvised along the way and ensured that our family and friends enjoyed their time during the reception and the dancing. Thank you so much Jason for making our wedding ceremony and reception special and memorable! We are so appreciative at your creative and amazing work! read more

Thank you so much and hoping to book with you again for my next event. read more

Fabulous food and our waiter from down under was great! Aloha! We love the Hawaiian islands and Thai cuisine is our favorite food!

Jason performed Ukulele for our ceremony and then seamlessly transitioned to DJ for our cocktail hour/reception. Everyone was blown away by his talent in both areas. He made the wedding so fun and everyone had the best time dancing. I highly recommend him to anyone having a wedding or event on Oahu! read more

Jason is super responsive, fair priced and works his butt off on the day of the wedding to do whatever would make the wedding party happy! His voice was beyond belief.

You will be so happy chosing him. I highly recommend you have him sing at your ceremony with his ukelele he is amazing!!! read more

I had Ono Kine at our wedding last month and he was great. He was SUPER responsive throughout the whole process giving me everything that I asked for to a tee. I had him provide live music for the ceremony and DJ/emcee for the reception. The live music was exceptional; amazing talent and his voice was so good. I didn't want a cheesy DJ and he was def not cheesy. Very chill vibes and stuck to my playlist. Very reasonable prices and a pleasure to work with. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend. read more

We booked the boys (the trio) for our wedding north shore, guys was early for setup, professiona/ polite and knew alot of the local jams. Everyone loved them mainland and locals alike. Lots of compliments but it was blind luck, we saw a YouTube video, I said yes and the band did the rest, my fiance was veryimpressed. Would book them again, local stamp of approval!!! Only complaint was from my aunty, they didn't play Samoan music from the 60s and 70s lol. read more

Congrats you have found your musician for your next event! Jason played acoustic guitar / ukulele for our wedding ceremony & cocktail hour.

I was looking for DJ, Emcee and Live band. I am so grateful my brother in law recommended Jason for our Wedding! He is so easy to talk to, responds quickly and professionally most importantly he answers all my questions and accommodate us to stay within budget. Jason made our wedding extra special, and I tell everybody about it. Couple nights before the wedding I changed my first dance, father-daughter, and Mother-son songs. I was in the impression that he is just going to play it thru his sound system, so I changed my song selection.. but no, he wanted to play it live and he honestly said that he is not familiar with the songs I chose and that he is trying to learn the songs as we speak (mind you that was midnight before the wedding), so I told him please dont worry about singing it live at the ceremony just play it thru the sound system. Next thing we know, we are dancing at the reception in Jason's amazing voice and acoustic guitar!! Thank you so much, Jason you are beyond awesome and very humble. Chantell our emcee did an awesome job as well, she performed beyond her duties, she grabbed me a drink when it was time for toast. Jason, may God bless you and your business more. read more

I would recommend him to anyone. read more

We hired Ono Kine Entertainment for our son's first birthday and couldn't be any happier with their excellent service. Jason was very accommodating and professional. The highlight of the party was when Jason was on stage singing live. We had numerous guests ask us during the party if they could get a business card so we knew everyone was enjoying the live music. We also hired Ono Kine Entertainment to DJ and put together a slide show to show at the party. Jason kept the party guests entertained with a great song playlist and slideshow. Thank you Ono Kine Entertainment for your excellent service and great prices. If we ever need to host another party in the future, we will definitely contact Ono Kine Entertainment again! read more

What to say about this awesome company! Jason communicates well with you from start to finish via email and Instagram. We were fortunate enough to get a special package of cocktail hour musician, photo booth, and DJ for my sisters wedding. We were able to add ceremony sound system and mic for reception with no problem. Day of: got to meet his employees who are very nice and try to engage you throughout your experience. The photo booth guys were so nice and made sure the bride and groom got their chance in the photo booth before they closed up! The template for the photo booth was spot on what we asked for too! Jason was great during the ceremony, cocktail music, and as the DJ. He is so multifaceted and easy to work with. Even after having to share a small tent area with the dinner band for an hour and a half, he was very understanding. I highly recommend this company for any event! If you want someone with a lot of experience and who can flow with some last minute detail changes with ease then hire Jason!!! We appreciated all of their help and hard work! read more

The BEST entertainment in Honolulu, HI! We are so happy that we booked this company for my sister's wedding reception. Jason was friendly and very accomodating to our needs.

Thank you for being a part of our special occasion! Mahalo :) read more

Jason of Ono Kine provided all of our needs as a professional service provider. He met with us multiple times for planning, he was always on time, professional & courteous, and was well equipped to perform his task. Docked him a star, due to music selection during my event. Recommend to costumers to have more specific choices pertaining to your audience. read more

We hired Jason and his photo booth crew for our wedding, and could not be happier with their service! Jason is very warm, friendly, and accommodating to your needs. He supplied all the materials needed for the booth and for his own set up (live music, DJ, lights, sound system, he even had back up extension cords if needed). For our live music choices, Jason sent us a list of all the songs that he is able to play (he plays acoustic guitar and sings like an angel). He was also willing to learn a new song at our request, just so that we can have that song performed live for our first dance. All of our guests commented on his singing ability and the personalization of the songs that he played. The enthusiasm of the photo booth crew added to the atmosphere of our wedding reception, and they made our guests feel very relaxed at the booth. Quick response time via email. I talked to him one time in person and that was when I got his business card. Other than that, everything was done through email; no meetings necessary. Lower than average pricing for live music/entertainment. Our wedding night would not have been as memorable if it wasn't for Jason and his team. Highest recommendation! Truly an "Ono" experience! read more

Jason was very responsive to our emails, open to song requests for guests, and was open to the multiple Spotify playlists we gave him to play for our wedding. He also had a great band that paid beautiful music for the cocktail reception and part of dinner. I'm just sad we couldn't enjoy them because we were whisked away have the time to do pictures! But our guests loved it and set the tone for our wedding. We met with Jason before and he was receptive to our timeline, our set up, and the songs we wanted to play. The mix of songs he played were a huge hit and everyone danced the entire night. Thank you Jason for all your help and for being part of our big day. The band and songs were great. read more

Jason was the DJ at our wedding reception a year ago and everything was absolutely fantastic! He went above and beyond for us. We left the most of the music selection up to him and he read the crowd well. The dance floor was crowded and rocking all night long. Our Emcee was unable to participate and Jason stepped in at the last minute and performed beautifully. The uplighting really added a great deal to enhance the ambiance. We were thrilled to have Jason DJ our reception and highly recommend him and Ono Kine to any and all. read more
