We had DJ Rockemwell(Christian) of Spectrum Entertainment for our wedding reception. He was an excellent MC and his music style was exactly what we had requested. He was able to do last minute changes when one of our family members wanted to sing one of our songs. He was very accommodating and overall a really fun guy to work with. He is a very gifted DJ and transitioned between songs very well and he had mad mixing skills. Our family member who is a musician was thoroughly impressed with his work. read more

Toshi is hands down the coolest dude EVER. I always wanted my wedding to be a party, and when we decided to have a smaller destination wedding I was worried we would lose the party atmosphere, but boy was I wrong! I reached out to Toshi after reading the reviews on here, and I knew he must be awesome when I saw literally nothing negative. After I got my first response from him via email I knew he was the real deal. He knows the ins and outs of weddings and helped me so much on many wedding related questions before I ended up hiring a DOC. He could easily be a wedding planner as well. He's a jack of all trades and incredibly knowledgeable! Yes, a DJ of this caliber is not cheap, but he was 100% worth every penny. He ended up doing the music for our ceremony and reception, and was also our emcee for the night. He did an amazing job at all three and in addition was the best hype man out there! He kept the room high energy all night, despite the fact we only had about 45 people. People were dancing all night! Not to mention he constantly checked in with my husband and I making sure we had everything we needed or wanted. He gave such great advice, played all of the music we had requested (and then some), and truly set the tone for the whole evening. I loved all of my vendors, but we definitely had the most compliments on Toshi. My Dad wanted to be besties with him, and my husband's Nana commented so many times how fun and cool he was. We definitely saw him more as a friend than we did a vendor. He really cares about his job and goes way out of his way to make sure you feel the love. The adjectives I'm using don't even do him justice, but just trust all of the reviews and hire Spectrum Entertainment for your wedding! You will have zero regrets. Thanks again, Toshi, you made our day unforgettable! XOXO Jake and Katie read more

DJ Toshi was fantastic. We were so happy that Toshi was our DJ for our wedding. He was able to work with our budget and executed our special requests perfectly. He hyped up the crowed with great music and got everyone dancing at the end of our wedding. Thank you very much Toshi. read more

Amazing DJ! Just did my friend's wedding and we all had a great time! Played everyone's requests and did a great job MCing the events

We had already hired a band for our wedding, but we knew we were missing someone to pull the night together and help make it flow smoothly. We needed an emcee/DJ, and we came across Toshi. He really was the missing piece to our wedding. He did an amazing job making sure our program ran smoothly, created seamless transitions from DJ to band then band to DJ. He felt the vibes of the night and made sure that it stayed that way from beginning to end! He played all the songs we loved, all the songs our guests requested, and definitely set the tone for a really fun wedding! Toshi was great to work with! He made great recommendations to enhance the entire reception, from the uplighting to the timeline. I definitely recommend him! read more

As an out-of-state couple, it was our priority to work with vendors who have excellent communication and Toshi did exactly that. He happily agreed to meet with us while we were visiting Hawaii before we booked our vendors, even though it was during the busy holiday season. After we booked him, he continued to check in with us and offered to introduce us to other vendors if we needed help. About two months before our wedding, Toshi reached out to us to start finalizing our music selection and the program for our reception. Everything was easy to do because of his attention to detail and flexibility. We met with him the week of our wedding to do a finalization meeting. We appreciate that he wanted to ensure proper pronunciation of names and understand any cultural nuances. Our wedding was the best day of our lives. Toshi's recommendation for the uplighting color brightened our venue and helped set the ambiance of what we wanted. Toshi is very talented at reading the air and kept our program moving along smoothly without any awkward pauses. We received SO MANY compliments from our guests, both young and old, about how much fun they had at our reception. We can't thank or recommend Toshi enough! read more

Toshi! You are AMAZING at what you do! You're super easy to work with and we are truly impressed with the lighting you delivered. We cannot thank you enough! I hired Toshi to do lighting for our Wedding held at Dillingham Ranch. He met me at the venue months before the wedding to get the exact visual of what I wanted. My husband and I couldn't believe what we were seeing once the sun went down and the lights took over. We were in awe. Far better than we even imagined. It's one the best feelings to be blown away and an even better feeling when it's on one of the most important days of your life. Our guests cannot stop telling us how beautiful and enchanting the lights were. It really set the mood for our non-stop, full of life, Miami in Hawaii themed wedding reception. The light set up for our live reggae band and the fog machine had everyone on their feet and ready to party. And those impressive Coconut trees at night with the full moon in the back ground! It wouldn't have been the same without the accents. We highly recommend Spectrum Entertainment for lighting services! read more

Where do I even begin? If you're looking to book a DJ/MC/Lighting Extraordinaire look no further then Spectrum Entertainment! Music and dancing was one of my top priorities next to food for our wedding. I LOVE to dance, and was a little nervous about finding the right person who could meet my expectations. Spectrum Entertainment not only exceeded my expectations, but they were nothing short of pure perfection. We hired Spectrum to DJ our wedding in October 2018, and from the very beginning Toshi and Christian were incredible. We live in California, and so all of our planning happened over the phone. For you Type A brides (or grooms) like me, Spectrum is wonderful with communication, assisted tremendously with the wedding timeline, they sent us forms with tips and tricks, and ways to personalize our music and song list. They made sure that they pronounced everyone's name correctly, and they never took over; I always felt 100% supported during every step of the way. During the planning stages, Toshi and Christian made us feel comfortable and secure. They were both very professional, as well as warm and laidback. This helped to make part of the planning process fun. WEDDING DAY!!! Christian was our DJ the day of the wedding, and I got to tell you, Christian, you da you DA BEST!!! The dance floor was always packed! Everyone from my 5 year old niece and nephews to my 70 year old parents were on the dance floor having the time of their lives! Before the dancing part of the night had even started, everything flowed together so nicely. From the ceremony music, to cocktail hour. They were even prepared for my 12 year old goddaughter's surprise hula for us...sneaky sneaky. When my cousins needed help plugging in their instruments to play music during our cocktail hour, they were there! I can't thank you enough! When we had to end the night, and music was supposed to be off, our guests remained on the dance floor shouting, "One more song! One more song!" and Christian agreed to play one more song for 30 seconds, and he did! All of us dancing our hearts out for the extra 30 seconds of the night. Something I will never forget! I highly recommend you go with Spectrum Entertainment for any of your DJ/MC/uplighting needs. You will not be disappointed! read more

We hired Toshi to be our wedding MC and DJ and we're so happy we did! After meeting in person, I was immediately sold on his energetic personality and enthusiasm. He was quick to respond to questions over email and was very clear in outlining different package options. He also offered some great suggestions for the program. For example, since I was a little nervous about our choreographed first dance, he suggested that we jump into it right after the grand entrance to get it out of the way instead of waiting until after dinner. On our wedding day, he ran things incredibly smoothly. The very minor mishaps that did happen weren't his fault. I would highly recommend Toshi, all of our guests absolutely loved him and he did an amazing job keeping up the energy of the crowd. I mean seriously, it was an epic dance party. Once the program ended, the dance floor was completely filled the rest of the night, the only time it got empty was when he announced last call for alcohol ;) read more

All I can say is, Toshi is THE MAN! He not only was our DJ, Emcee, and uplighting vendor but he was extremely helpful in giving advice about setup, layout, and flow of our timeline. Everything went super smoothly and the whole day was a blast, I wish I could relive the day over and over again. The music he plays is also spot on and he can mix anything. He caters to your sound and responds to the crowd. It was pretty much like we were at the best concert EVER and everyone was dancing like there was no tomorrow! Prices are super affordable with the superb services he provides. Toshi is BOMB! read more

Spectrum DJ was amazing! My husband and I had a night to remember because of them. Toshi was very quick to respond to my emails and obnoxious calls. He was also very approachable and very friendly. Toshi knows the latest music, the latest trends in weddings, and knows what would sound good for a particular audience. He also gave us wonderful advice on what would look good, what would look bad, and what could go wrong. The only hiccup I can think of was when there was some sound problems during the beginning part of our powerpoint. There was no one to blame. I guess sometimes when you have different equipment from different vendors and you try to make them all work together, things may not be compatible. Nevertheless, we had a night to remember. Our guests loved the ambiance of the reception, and all the credit goes to Spectrum DJ for our lighting! They provided extra lighting for us which made the whole room looked ethereal. Seriously, I could not have a more magical night. I highly recommend them for local weddings, birthdays, conferences, or any parties big and small. read more

We had Spectrum Entertainment at our wedding for both their DJ services for our program and their up-lighting and dance floor lighting for our reception-- and all I can say is --- WOW!!! They had everything to perfection, and provided the exact vision that I didn't even know that I wanted. I am an event planner by day, and as a bride-- it was hard for me to let go of the control for the day of, but Toshi and his staff did such a superb job, and my husband and I couldn't have been happier! I wish I could give them 6 stars! I highly recommend Spectrum Entertainment for any event: weddings, 1st birthdays, proms, etc. read more

Summary: Toshi made our day into a complete dream come true as the Emcee, DJ, and uplighting provider for our wedding! We had wanted a local emcee who would match well for our crowd of young and elderly folks. He fit the bill perfectly and was a complete professional! Details: From the beginning, we were impressed with his concise and comprehensive initial emails. Planning up to the wedding was smooth, and I heard that my future father-in-law (very stoic and samurai-like) also appreciated the communications he had with Toshi on the side-planning. To put our wedding into perspective: 1) the reception was on a Sunday evening, and we were still busy forwarding last minute program changes to Toshi during that final weekend. And then, the actual ceremony started 40 min late due to too many of our guests on hawaiian time lol, which required Toshi to deal with real-time program adjustments. Nevertheless, DJ Toshlion handled all of this without a hitch, and everything went seemlessy. Every time he mcee'd and throughout the transitions in the program, the crowd became cheerful and ready for more, even into the time-shifted late hours of the program, uplifting everyone to overcome that mighty buffet, the desserts, the out-of-island travels, etc. Mahalos Toshi!! read more

Toshi was seriously the life of the party. Somehow he became the DJ, the MC, & did part of the day of coordinator's work. The sounds and the lighting were amazing!! Toshi & his brother really made my wedding the wedding of the year! His brother was a sweetheart- he fanned my husband's and my dinner meals (since it was an outdoor wedding). Toshi was the stress reliever, we were 20 minutes behind schedule but by the end of the wedding we were right on schedule allowing my guests have enough dancing time. Highly recommend this duo team because they truly are the BEST on the island. I'm so happy you were a part of our wedding! #MeetTheBonhams2018 read more

"I'm now hiring you to do the leg work with finding our DJ for this year's event.", the event coordinator stated. At the time, it was less than two months before the event and I had to get on the searching STAT. Year round weddings were happening and prom was approaching fast. Vendors would be booked fairly quickly and time slots were limited. I had interviewed several DJ's without any luck via phone and none passed the interview process. I saved the best for last. I asked a few friends for some recommendations and did some deep soul searching through Yelp. I came across Spectrum Entertainment. I had corresponded with Toshi on the phone and finally decided to meet face to face at the Wedding Café. Toshi had back to back meetings and was thankfully able to get me in on the very last time slot of the evening. Due to the short notice, I was a bit skeptical if he would still be available for our event. We discussed prices, times and the location of the event. All I needed to mention to him was a few little minor details and he created a customized package that will be more beneficial for my company. I had seen a variation of videos of him working and I was impressed at not only the selection of music but the diverse crowds and companies he's worked for. Spectrum not only provides sounds but also different variations of excellent lighting. He is immensely knowledgeable with all the equipment and asked all the important questions about the event. After a week of discussing with my coordinator, we hired Toshi. After the coordination of contracts and payment, Toshi communicated the details he would need from us as far as space, plugs, etc. We had a live band and a headliner at the time and Toshi had worked all the minor things offline prior to the day of. Toshi and his assistant were very professional and is excellent at feeling the crowd. A multitude of guests danced to a variety of tunes and stayed until the last song. They meshed a plethora of tunes for the crowd. I love the positive attitude Toshi projected and made everything possible for us. The sound, lighting worked without a single imperfection for my company's event. We look forward to hiring him again next year. read more

I just got married in August and was in a bind looking for a great DJ but for a reasonable price. I had a friend recommend Spectrum DJs and from the first phone call I made to Toshi from spectrum DJs, I knew I was in great hands. He spent hours making sure all of the details for my event were addressed and was meticulous to detail. More importantly he was friendly,accommodating and his team had amazing energy, superb lighting and awesome MC skills! I am recommending him to all of my friends and family because he treated my husband and I just like we were family read more

DJ Toshi, Ph.D. in Party (air horn sound, air horn sound, air horn sound) is perfection! We did our homework, we interviewed a ton of DJ's and it was hard being in Texas and the vendors in Hawaii. A few minutes into speaking with Toshi, we felt comfortable, like we were friends. We knew Toshi was our guy. He took the time to meet with us when we got to Hawaii and made sure our wedding was just what we wanted and assisted in fleshing out our timeline. I gave him some crazy suggestions and he made it work beyond my dreams (e.g., I wanted a bouquet toss to the guys not to the 2 single female guests). His up lighting was also amazing! So much better than we could have imagined. He had everyone out of the dance floor, even my husband's family who just doesn't dance. He responds to emails super quickly. If you are looking for an emcee, he can do it. We didn't want a formal emcee as is common with many Hawaii weddings (cost is just ridiculous to add one and not necessary if they are making general announcements and reading off a script ). His energy is amazing and he ensures that you are well taken care of. Many of our guest asked if he was a college friend, nope, that's just how good of a rapport he had with us. to conclude reasons you should book DJ Toshi 1. Party Atmosphere 2. Response Time to Emails 3. Timeline Planning 4. Service 5. MC 6.Uplighting 7. Price 8. Easy Going Stop thinking, just book him now! read more

I found Toshi through a friend's recommendation...and I'm SO glad I decided to use his services in August 2014 for my wedding. Unlike many other vendors in the Honolulu wedding scene, Toshi was on point with communication - he was available by email, text, phone. He was professional, had a formal contract, and was readily available to discuss things. What a relief to have someone dependable for our big day! I really hadn't put a lot of thought into our music and program until the last minute, but Toshi totally helped me figure it all out. He was so accommodating and took the time to meet right before the wedding to go over the music selection and program. He also came super early to set up and make sure everything was perfect. Not only is he a great DJ, but he's an AWESOME emcee (skills which I personally think he should advertise more!) Our reception flowed nicekly thanks to him -- he was perfect at announcing everything in our program (toasts, dancing, cake cutting, hula, etc) while keeping the guests' attention. Best of all, he speaks with the right amount of enthusiasm and fun and was never cheesy (i've been to weddings with cheesy emcees and really wanted to avoid that.) Toshi really is your all-in-one entertainment solution for events....he provided music, lighting and emcee services. I was so glad I didn't have to worry about these details. My guests still talk about how fun our wedding was...and I give credit to Toshi. As the other reviewer mentioned, he can get the party started and keep it going. I can't wait to have another big event so I can hire him! :) read more

Toshi was the DJ for our banquet tonight, and I must say, he really helped to make the event. He was very personable and didn't come off as cocky like some DJs I've seen at other events. The crowd really seemed to enjoy the mixes and even spent a lot of the time singing along while dancing. The lighting effects went well with the music too. He even played an additional song before calling it a night; everyone left still feeling hyped. Hopefully we can get him to do other events in the future! read more

Spectrum Entertainment far exceeded our expectations. Toshi and his team really know what they're doing. I had an awful experience with a few other DJ/Emcee interviews when trying to hire someone for our wedding reception, and when I called Toshi and spoke to him, I felt instantly comfortable and we effortlessly connected. He gives off such warm, positive vibes, and I felt that making our day special was just as important to him as it was to us. When expressing our vision to him, he noted everything and asked great questions to make sure he understood everything correctly and that there were no surprises or last minute concerns. When it came time for our big day, he executed our vision flawlessly. The song selections were great - he incorporated some of the ones I identified as well as a few of his own in the mix. I had guests coming up to me all night complimenting the DJ, song selection, and the program he presented. I recommend Spectrum Entertainment to every bride out there. Seriously...do not look any further! Save yourself the stress...there is no need! Toshi, you rock. Thanks again for everything. I am a high-anxiety individual with very high (often unreasonable) expectations, and I didn't have to worry about a darn thing with Spectrum Entertainment. Truly grateful to have worked with Toshi and his team. read more

I didn't want to write this but I feel like people should be aware of what it's like to do business with Spectrum. I'm not from Hawaii so a childhood friend of mine, who's wife is from Hawaii, recommended Toshi to me for my wedding. In the beginning everything was easy and since I'm not in Hawaii, everything was basically done via email or on the phone. We put down 30% as per requested, no problem. Our wedding was suppose to be April 2020 but because of the pandemic, we had no choice but to postpone. We contacted all of our vendors mid March to postpone. A few months after, we contacted Toshi again to let him know that at this point, we will be postponing to April 2022. Aside from the fact that he made us wait months to let us know if we can have the new date that we wanted, we received an email from him asking us for another 30% deposit on top of the 1st 30% deposit. Spectrum is the ONLY vendor to do this to me which I found very odd and shady. I thought maybe he got hit really hard during the pandemic but I didn't think that putting down 60% was necessary. He said it's considered a new "booking" because we're picking a new date. He also increased his price by $400.00 because he said he had to switch DJs for that night (which is not by choice). So because I understand that the pandemic hit his business hard, I told him the price increase was ok and I decided to meet him halfway and give him an extra 20% on top of my 30% deposit. FYI: He's the only vendor to ask for extra deposit for changing the date due to COVID. Unfortunately though, 7 months before our new wedding date, we decided to cancel the wedding after all and focus on growing our family. We contacted all of our vendors, and to my not surprise, the one vendor I have issues with again is Spectrum. We did not expect him to refund us the original 30% but he refuses to give back the added 20% that he asked us for. On the phone prior, he told me verbally that he would refund that no problem but NOW according to his email, he can only refund the 20% if the pandemic happens again. AFTER understanding his need to increase his price and him asking for more deposit, he won't understand anything for you. JUST KNOW THAT before booking with him. I was highly disappointed and super stressed dealing with Toshi and this is not something I wish upon any couple who's already stressed with other wedding things. He's unprofessional, unfair, and a deceiver. COVID hit people hard, but this is not the way to get money from people. Specially for a service that didn't even happen yet. DON'T BE DECEIVED! read more

We worked with Spectrum Entertainment for our destination wedding in Oahu and let me start by letting all of you know that Toshi and his team are all very professional, prompt, and way more than accommodating. They catered to all our needs, incorporating both our personalities and our wedding theme. As a couple coming from New York, we've had many interactions and experiences with DJ's in the past but Toshi/Spectrum surpassed all of our expectations. He is very down to earth, easy going, and super entertaining. We have absolutely no regrets! He was both our DJ and MC and our guests loved him! Down to the gritty-grit, he played amazing music, kept the party going, and made our wedding program overall fun and unforgettable. The lighting was unbelievable, his equipment is high class, and his overall aura was just impressive. Seriously, I can't wait for our next life event just so I can work with them again! Pros - High End Equipment - More than willing to accommodate our needs - Prompt In responding - Honest and Humble with his recommendations - Will get to know his clients and spend quality time - Easy Going personality - Five Stars - Affordable Cons - I'm seriously trying to think of one to give an honest review and I just can't so take it for what it's worth. read more

When we were planning our wedding the most important part was staying within the confines of our very modest budget like responsible adults living a debt-free life. Isn't that the modern version of a fairy-tale wedding? Our whole plan was food, drink, and dancing. We were pretty casual about the planning, which meant that 3 weeks before the wedding we realized if we wanted people to dance, we should probably get a DJ instead of pawning an ipod off on one of our guests. Thankfully we found Spectrum DJs! Our caterer had worked with Toshi in the past and recommended him as someone competent and reliable. Toshi and Chris met with us right away, went over our timeline, and were ready for anything from the very start. When I emailed them a few days before the wedding to say I had changed my mind about the dinner music, that was fine too. They strongly endorsed up lighting, and I'm glad we listened to them. The up lighting made our simple decorations seem much more elegant. When my (somewhat inebriated) father went up to Chris during dinner to say that "These people want to hear music from that skinny blonde girl, you know, the one that fought Apple (he meant Taylor Swift)" Chris gamely stuck to our plan and let him know that he would play requests right after dinner. He was so accommodating, when we asked for the Norah Jones version of Forever Young, he got it (even though we couldn't find it available for download anywhere). When my parents wanted a specific song, he got it for them on the spot. The ultimate test though, was how much fun everyone had. I've been to quite a few weddings where by the end only a few stragglers remained. Everyone was on the dance floor until the very end, and then stayed to help put away the tables and chairs while Chris played closing down music (after he was already off the clock). If you're looking for a DJ, go with these guys. read more

There aren't enough words to describe how wonderful Toshi and Chris were. Planning a destination wedding can be tough - especially with a six hour time difference - but Toshi made it a breeze and was super easy to work with. Spectrum provided sound and music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception AND Toshi served as our Emcee. They also provided uplighting and dance lighting for us. Everything was perfect and of the highest quality. People raved about the dance music and everyone had a blast - even the people who didn't dance. I don't think we could have asked for anything more. Mahalo! read more

My fiance and I were blown away with Toshi. He kept our guests alive all night! Even the little kids with the "Baby Shark" song... lol. They absolutely LOVED that. I seriously don't think anyone else could have topped him. The way he lit up our venue with his lights.. OMG... sooo beautiful! We were scared that our outdoor venue (Paliku Gardens) wouldn't have enough light once the sun went down, but the way that he lit up the bushes/trees/tents was just gorgeous. He even lit up a few palm trees that "danced" to the beat to some songs! That was totally unexpected and super cool! We are soooo happy we chose Toshi and could not have asked for a better time. Thank you, Toshi! You rock! read more

Spectrum Entertainment was our DJ and Emcee for our wedding. Wow! Is all I can say. They were absolutely perfect. The music during the dinner section was perfect and the music during dance was perfect. I don't dance, like ever, and I was out on the dance floor dancing the night away. The music, lights, and dancing were all PERFECT!! Next to talk about is our Emcee Toshi! He was AWESOME!! We got so many compliments about him and how funny and fun he was. We are so happy we decided to go with Toshi as our Emcee. If you are planning an event and need a DJ and Emcee, please choose Spectrum Entertainment. You will not be disappointed! read more

What can I say except that Toshi and his crew at Spectrum Entertainment were the best DJ/Emcee/lighting guys! We booked him based on a recommendation from a friend. We weren't disappointed. Toshi is super laid back and easy to work with. You instantly feel like you have been friends for a long time (and that you want to hang out with him after the wedding too!). He brought great energy to our wedding, got the crowd going as our Emcee, kept the program on time and kept us dancing for literally 2 hours straight. The dance floor was packed the entire time. I got numerous compliments from guests on how good our DJ was. Toshi really understood our taste in music and took cues from guest on how well they were enjoying the music. Thank you Toshi and crew for making our wedding so much fun! read more

Toshi is amazing. He puts a smile on your face and is very personable. Great DJ and Emcee here if that's what you're looking for. He kept our guests on the floor the whole time - even when it rained a little bit. We had a great time during our wedding in Hawaii, and Toshi did an amazing job with our program. Very happy. read more

DJ Toshi and DJ Rockemwell were the HIGHLIGHT of our wedding!! We were totally lucky because we were fortunate to have both of them as our DJs. The goals for my husband and I were to maximize dancing time, which is exactly what they did! They took all our playlist and elevated it, in addition top of the uplighting, and just fun people it was the bomb diggity. Everyone talked about how good the music and how hyped up the DJs were. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who wants to have the best dance party ever. They were both pivotal to the best day of our lives thus far, we can't thank them enough. read more

Toshi is the man! I feel so bad for taking so long to get to writing this review. (Marriage is a lot busier than I expected lol.) Our wedding was awesome and people had such a good time dancing. Toshi kept the party going. He also had beautiful uplighting that set the mood for the night. Probably the best thing was how comfortable Toshi made us feel, and how we didn't need to worry at all about any of the music and sound. (One less thing to worry about on such a crazy busy day) He's a super nice guy, professional, and courteous. He's also willing to work with you to make your wedding the way you want it to be. I highly recommend him and his crew! read more

Toshi was a phenomenal DJ and MC at my wedding! It was a complete privilege to work with him during the months leading up to the ceremony as all of our planning, communication, and coordination was clear and seamless. After the wedding, I received so many comments from my guests sharing how much they enjoyed him as a DJ/MC. I also give him full credit in keeping our reception timeline on track throughout the evening, while keeping things fun and engaging for everyone. Best of all, Toshi kept the dance floor packed the whole night as he threw down an amazing mix of music that everyone enjoyed! Without hesitation, I would definitely recommend Toshi/Spectrum Entertainment for any events in the future! read more

Need a DJ? Look no further! We hired Toshi to DJ our high school dance. What an incredible evening he gave to them! From the moment we contacted him until he packed up and left, Toshi was professional, friendly, and dedicated to making sure our students had a night to remember. One thing that impressed me the most about Toshi was his respect in working with our students. At our meetings he truly listened to their ideas and helped them navigate the logistics, while offering his expertise to ensure that the event went seamlessly. I've been at many weddings (including my own), and I have NEVER seen people up and dancing as fast as they were that night I also couldn't get over the sheer number of students dancing at one time. The light and sound package he created for us was extremely generous for our budget. Personally, I thought, the lighting effects were the best I have ever seen. The feedback we have gotten back from the students who attended the ball has been unanimous: "Hire, DJ Toshi again!" We look forward to using him for future events. Thank you, Toshi! read more

We asked for a party, and you delivered us so much more! From the start of the planning process, to the finished product, Toshi and his team at spectrum were committed to making our big day a special experience to share with our friends and family! The sounds for our ceremony were great and the lighting and music at out reception were superb!!! Toshi did a great job at feeling out the crowd and kept the dance floor packed! The transitions between songs were smooth as butter and he was able to incorporate a bit of line dancing and country music into our heavy hip hop and dance music rotation! On top of it all, Toshi makes for a great MC!!! He really goes out of his way to include not only the wedding party, but the guests too! Highly recommend Toshi to anyone looking for a wedding DJ/MC!!! read more

Christian was the DJ at my Husband and my wedding. He did a great job getting people on the dance floor, picking music folks wanted to dance to, and managing a slight "rain" issue during the ceremony. (Which required running...literally running equipment into the house when it started only to lug it back out once the rain stopped.) My overall experience working with him and the owner (Toshi), was great. Before the wedding they had us fill out a form with song requests, genre preferences and, very importantly, what "not to play". About a month in advance we went over the form and put together a detailed account of the day--what would be played when and our ideas around timeline. This gave me lots of reassurance that I didn't have to worry about a thing the day of the wedding, which was 100% true. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. read more

Toshi was DJ and MC at my sisters wedding and he was phenomenal! 12/10 recommend him for all events!

We hired Toshi and his team to DJ our destination wedding scheduled for July 2020. Unfortunately due to COVID we were forced to cancel our wedding or postpone. With so much uncertainty surrounding COVID we financially did not have the ability to push our wedding date back not knowing if we would have to reschedule again or not. Toshi was not pleasant to work with when discussing the cancellation of our wedding. In short, we didn't feel it was right to lose our entire deposit when no services had been rendered. His response to our request for any amount of reimbursement for our deposit was "I understand that it's not desirable to hold a wedding in July this year, so that is why the cancellation terms have been relaxed, you have the opportunity to postpone and utilize every bit of your deposit in the future." A two week quarantine as soon as we would arrive to Hawaii is more than "not desirable." Here we are in October and Hawaii has still not removed their 2 week quarantine. If you are currently planning a wedding DO NOT hire Spectrum Entertainment. It is already hard enough planning a wedding with COVID-19 affecting everyone worldwide, but to have a vendor that is not compassionate and understanding of where we are coming from is not a company we would like to work with again in the future. There are plenty of other vendors in Hawaii that will work with you and provide excellent customer service. If I could give them a 0 out of 5 I would. read more

THE TOTAL PACKAGE!!! We hired Toshi for our wedding and he by far exceeded all of our expectations! Everything he provided was top quality. The DJing, audio/visual, and beautiful UP LIGHTING was perfect! From the pre-planning to the wedding day, Toshi was very easy to work with. Very professional, punctual, friendly, and very reasonably priced (worked well within our budget). He went through our wedding program perfectly and knew how to interact with the crowd like a pro. We would highly recommend Toshi for any type of event!! Mahalo Toshi!! read more

Toshi did a fantastic job keeping the energy up throughout the event. I have never seen so many of our guests dancing the entire time. We were sad to end the night - they could've danced for hours! He was also very good with last minute changes and requests and was able to drum up some enthusiasm for a dance competition that we had organized. Our guests were mostly between 16 and 18 years of age, so they can be the harshest of critics, but there were definitely raving reviews throughout the night! read more

See all

I speak on behalf of the 2019 Class Board/Council at Kamehameha Schools. Our fellow class leaders have used him for previous events and recommended him to us, and we were very happy with his work. Toshi is very flexible, and while playing his music and mixing tracks, he makes announcements about what is happening. This makes our job (running the dance and doing work) much easier. He also coordinated some awesome games including dance-offs and lip-sync battles. Overall, he's a very professional and well-carried DJ. We highly recommend him. Thank you DJ Toshi! read more
