I am so happy and ecstatic that we got to meet him! Amani DJ'ed our New Year's Party and did an incredible job at customizing our playlist based on the crowd! Not only was the music great, he was also super communicative, his pricing was incredible and overall, just a great human. Support great people like him and book him for your next gig!

I'm a corporate event planner, which basically means I plan meetings and conferences (yawn, I know)…read morebut every once in a while I get to put on a fun soiree. This year, my beautiful City of Angels was the backdrop for our summer sales meeting and the pressure was on to show our out of town attendees a good time in our home city. I secured a fab venue well in advance, picked the menu, cocktails and flowers but I forgot a crucial component for a memorable Friday night in Hollywood, Music! Oh. My. God. Luckily, I found Amani. I reached out in a bit of a tizzy, but he was cool, calm and helpful. Communication was easy and clear. We discussed our group budget and needs and he was able to work within our budget and provide exactly the kind of music that we needed. When a second reception popped up on the same night, he was even able to curate a playlist for the second group - so it was like he was in two places at once! Our event was a complete success! Amani did a fantastic job with the music...it was a varied mix of everything current and several classics to satisfy a wide age group. I was nervous about how we would balance a Hollywood Rooftop Party and a group of mostly corporate executives, but there was nothing to be nervous about, Amani made it seem effortless and in the end, all the suits felt like they were in an episode of Entourage, and that is all we could ask for. Amani is professional and it's apparent that he loves what he does, which means he does it well. I would highly recommend him without hesitation.

From the wedding ceremony to the end of the reception, he understood our vision and curated a perfect playlist that kept our guests dancing all night long. We gave him a few songs that were a MUST to play and he was able to fill in the rest of the time with the same vibe that we wanted. He was so flexible and really catered to our needs. My absolute favorite part was the mix he made for my father daughter dance which started with a slow dance and transitioned into a hip hop dance remix! The transitions were incredible and impressed our guests! DJ Rym also handled the timeline perfectly, ensuring every moment flowed beautifully, from the first dance to the last song. We received countless compliments from our guests about how amazing the music was. If you want a DJ who is not just a vendor but a true partner in making your event unforgettable, look no further than DJ Rym. Highly recommended!

He responded quickly to my request and was very easy to communicate with. His prices are reasonable compared to other DJ I've hired in the past. DJ Rymix took our holiday party to the next level with his music, lights and fog machine set up! He is truly a master of his craft. He does such a great job engaging the audience and playing different genres of music. He played a little bit of Hip-Hop, 80s & 90s hit songs, R&B, Latin, and Filipino music. Naturally my guest were a bit tipsy and they were requesting songs, but DJ Rymix didn't mind. He happily played everything they requested. I'll definitely be hiring DJ Rymix again for future events and you should too, you won't regret it!

We first met Mike at a bridal show, and he immediately made a great first impression with the range of musical genres he was playing along with his welcoming personality. He was very approachable and easy to talk to. He spent an adequate time answering our questions and concerns about the wedding planning process, and he stressed that he is available at nearly all times to his clients. From the moment we booked him, he kept his word. I could text or call Mike with a question, and he would always respond immediately. His open communication and transparency eased any stress and worry. He was very organized and held our hand during the wedding planning process. He would provide us with goals and tasks to complete in regards to our timeline and music playlist, which ensured no stone was left unturned leading up to our wedding day. Additionally, he helped create our First Dance mix and tailored it to our requested length and edits. During our wedding reception, his emcee skills shined as he brought energy, fun and humor. If feasible, we highly recommend including a scavenger hunt conducted by Mike in your wedding reception. This was one of the most entertaining and memorable parts of the night, as Mike was a great host throughout. We received a lot of compliments from our guests regarding Mike and we cannot overstate how happy we are that we booked him. If you are looking for a DJ, you will not regret choosing Mike!

Mike is very responsive, professional, and organized. Mike helped us plan out the timing of our events and recommended the perfect songs for moments where we hadn't yet figured out which songs to play. Mike even helped suggest non-music related things for us, like certain pictures we should have our photographer capture (we followed his recommendations and love those shots, btw.) Ovation's online portal is easy to fill out and add songs to. When it came to the actual wedding, Ovation did a great job at engaging the crowd and getting people to get on the dance floor.

From the get go, he was extremely informative, responsive, and helpful! He was with us from the beginning of our planning process until the very end. He helped us curate and decide on what we wanted for our entire event and we could not be more grateful! He helped us create a timeline of events for our MC and collaborated seamlessly with our venue coordinator. We also decided to add some uplights very last minute and he was very accommodating. I genuinely believe that the music and lighting sets the vibe of the venue. Robert and his team knocked it out of the park. The music was awesome, the lighting was beautiful, and everything was so seamless. I HIGHLY recommend choosing Hilo Productions!

We are so happy to have chosen Hilo Productions for our DJ & MC services on our 11/11/23 wedding!…read more So many things to rave about when it comes to Robert and his team: Robert spent a lot of time getting to know both me and my now husband, prior to booking. He wanted to make sure he knew what kind of event we wanted, what traditions or customs we would be recognizing, and what vibes we wanted with our crowd! We're so appreciative of this as we recognize the DJ and MC truly set the tone for the reception. We knew immediately when we were done talking to him that we wanted to work with him and his team! We needed a bilingual English/Vietnamese MC and Robert linked us up with his amazing MC, Linnie. I hopped on a call with her and heard her voice, her tone, and loved her personality! I knew that Robert selected the perfect person for the job. Linnie worked with me and my husband to get our families' name pronunciations correct, and ran through the reception with us so we knew what was going to happen. I had the utmost confidence in Linnie, and as expected, she killed it! She translated my dad's Vietnamese toast to English perfectly, and we received so many compliments about what an amazing MC she was! Linnie is sweet and funny, not cringey or anything at all - just pure joy! Next, Robert selected DJ Derrick to be our DJ of the night. I'm so glad he did because Derrick truly delivered the ~*vibes*~ all night long!! All of the songs we selected for entrances went off without a hitch, he played amazing music for the reception (we booked them for reception only) during dinner, sneaking in a few of my absolute favorite songs that I really wanted to hear, and then he kept the dance floor busy all night! I loved the selection of music that really fit our preferences and our guests' preferences. He read the crowd and knew what music would keep the energy high and by the end of the night, I nearly lost my voice because I was having the best time dancing and singing. Shoutout to him also sneaking in my favorite song ever for a surprise in the last track too!! We also had so many wonderful comments about him after!! Finally, Robert kept in touch with us throughout the process to make sure we were feeling okay leading up to the wedding. He understands all of the family obligations that comes with wedding planning, and makes sure that your wedding is something the couple actually wants, while also respecting our cultures! If I felt anxious, he always calmed me down, and I'm so appreciative of it! Thank you Robert, Linnie, and Derrick for all of your work! We were so lucky to have you!!!
