Spectrum Entertainment — Local services in Oʻahu

THIS BUSINESS FILTERS OUT THE BAD REVIEWS!! 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...

First and foremost, if you are lucky enough to discover Toshi, you have found your DJ! Toshi absolutely brought the house down at our wedding last year and we still have people commenting how great he was and what a amazing time they had dancing for 3 non-stop hours at the gorgeous venue of loulu palm on the north shore of Oahu. Our wedding coordinator Linda recommended him and we are soo thankful she did, especially getting married in 2021 with all of the craziness going on. From the first phone call, you could tell he was a true professional in his craft and was very thorough, organized, and helpful in answering any and all questions. He laid out our rough timeline for the wedding and we felt at ease knowing we had a plan and timeline to work with from the start. Music wise, we sent him a Spotify playlist of a wide variety of songs to understand our music taste and a couple must plays with it. He was very straightforward in giving us the option to choose our music and was very open as he understood it is OUR DAY! That’s another item that stood out to us about Toshi as a DJ and the emcee for the wedding is that he was very conscious of making sure it was ALL ABOUT US and that we were having a great time! He listened to all of our ideas, provided honest feedback, gave his own ideas, and we had a well thought out music timeline of welcome music (he brought in a friend Kapu to play guitar which was amazing), ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing! My wife and I took the mindset of letting Toshi do what he does best with the info provided to him music wise and just let him do his thing and we are still blown away at how well that turned out! Between the lighting set up around the venue, motion lights, sparklers, song variety, custom remixes, smooth transitions, and emcee host, Toshi is as good as it gets for your big day! If I could give 10 stars I would. Do yourself a favor after reading this and give him a call to end your search. This is not an item on an event budget to skimp on as we have all been to events where the DJ is a dud and takes away from the overall experience. Toshi will bring the party to you in a professional and organized manner and provide a day/evening you will always remember! I highly recommend to give him the reigns and let him do his thing! Thank you again Toshi for everything and we wish you nothing but the best in life...

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...
