Hawaii Wedding DJ, MC & Officiant
One Native Hawaiian-owned team for your ceremony, your reception and everything in between. Based on Oahu, serving all Hawaiian Islands!
One Team, One Timeline
Most couples hire an officiant, an MC and a DJ separately, then hope the three of them talk to each other. With Kani Events they are the same team. The person who marries you already knows your names, your story and your timeline, and hands straight off to the MC and DJ who run your reception.
That means fewer vendors to manage, no gaps between ceremony and party, and one point of contact from your first call to your last dance.
What We Do
Wedding DJ. Ceremony sound, cocktail hour, dinner and a dance floor that stays full.
Wedding MC. Grand entrances, toasts and a timeline that runs on time, in English, Spanish, Japanese or Portuguese.
Officiant / Kahu. A personal ceremony led by a Native Hawaiian officiant, with Hawaiian traditions if you want them.
Silent disco, live music, hula and fire knife, photo booths, lighting. Add what fits your day.
Why couples choose Kani Events

What Couples Say
So warm, so adaptable, so talented. Kani events managed to maintain an incredible vibe despite a true downpour. Moved ceremony sites, moved live performer, moved cocktail hour sites. So much more I’m sure I don’t even know. His and his team’s energy quite literally shaped and saved the day. Crichton, thank you! Thank you for creating a space which affected my people so deeply. My friends and family just simply call each other “family” now. It’s changed us. Mahalo Nui!!!

Working with Crichton and the Kani Events team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They took the time to understand our music style, listened to every preference (even granted our wish by hiring a live musician to play on our wedding day too) and executed the timeline of our day flawlessly. Crichton made it a priority to understand the relationships we had with those giving speeches (which was such a nice/personal touch that we didn't even think of, but we appreciated it so much). Guests were constantly telling us how we had the best DJ/entertainment, and we couldn't agree more! We highly recommend Crichton and Kani Events to anyone looking for an stress-free, high-quality entertainment experience. It truly felt like they were part of our family for the day! We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out!

If we could give Crichton more than 5 stars, we absolutely would! He was our officiant, MC, and DJ — truly a one man show who completely made our wedding unforgettable. From start to finish, Crichton went above and beyond in every way possible.
He came highly recommended by our wedding planner, who told us, “If I were getting married, he’s the only person I’d want.” We were curious how one person could do it all… but wow, did he ever exceed our expectations.
Crichton met with us multiple times to go over every detail, responded to every email, call, and even those late-night bridezilla texts! We wanted to incorporate a lot of Hawaiian culture into our ceremony, and he absolutely nailed it — it was heartfelt, meaningful, and so authentic.
Our guests are still talking about how amazing he was. The dance floor was LIT all night long, thanks to him! When we look back on our wedding, we’re still blown away by how special he made it. Crichton didn’t just meet our expectations — he redefined them. We’re forever grateful for him and how he turned the best day of our lives into something truly magical. Mahalo nui loa, Crichton — you da best! 🤙
