About

Aloha!


My name is Marvin Tevaga and I am a musician from the island of Maui, Hawaii. Mahalo for visiting my page!


I was born and raised here on the island of Maui where my love for music began. At eight years old, I picked up the ukulele for the first time; 20 years later I am still strumming away!


Growing up in Hawaii with the many diverse cultures, I have grown a love for various genres of music. This love has helped me take different songs and make them “my style” or the way I hear each song.


I have been blessed to have worked with many of Hawai’i’s favorite musicians and they have taught me a lot. I perform for Weddings, Luaus, Baby Parties, Special Events or at a “jam session” at your hale (home). Music has taken me to New Zealand, West Coast USA and various areas in Hawai’i and I am thankful for that.


I hope I get the pleasure of working with you soon.


Mahalo and Aloha!

Touching ceremony

Marvin was the officiant for my son’s wedding on the beach, and he was absolutely marvelous! He immediately put us all at ease and created such a loving, sweet atmosphere for the ceremony. We loved every moment of it. Marvin truly spoke from the heart and brought so much aloha to our family celebration.

Mahalo Marvin, a Lahaina legend

My husband and I were Lahaina residents and planned to marry in October 2023. We wanted to hire vendors with strong roots on Maui and Marvin is a lifelong Lahaina resident. He is an extremely talented musician who also happens to be a well-respected MPD officer. We had the privilege of hearing him perform before we were engaged and it was no-brainer he would be our musician for the wedding ceremony and cocktail reception.

My husband and I lost our home and everything else in the Lahaina fire, 2 months shy of our wedding. Marvin did too. This meant we had to plan a second wedding later in 2024 and didn't know which vendors would still be around. We were so happy to hear Marvin could still participate. If you want someone with a beautiful voice, gifted musician and all-around great person in the Lahaina community, Marvin is THE guy! Mahalo Marvin! We "lava" that you could be part of our long-awaited special day.

Marvin is amazing!

My Husband and I just got married on the island of Maui and we knew we wanted live music to have at the wedding. Our planner suggested Marvin and after listening to a couple songs it was an immediate yes! Marvin surpassed my expectations. He was absolutely amazing and our guests loved the live music. I recommend using Marvin at your wedding/rehearsal! Thank you Marvin!! 🫶🏻

Marvin is a gem!

My wife and I eloped in Maui in September of 2023, and having Marvin be a part of our special day was the best decision! He is extremely talented and the music he performed during our ceremony was perfect. His voice and the ukulele are so beautiful. On top of all of that, Marvin is just a great guy, and having him participate in our ceremony helped make it extra special. It’s also worth adding that our elopement was only about 6 weeks after the devastating and tragic fires in Maui and Marvin’s attendance at our wedding and encouragement to come to Maui really helped make us feel like we were making the right decision. We’re grateful he was able to make the space to be there for our big day. I highly, highly recommend Marvin if you need a musician!

Incredibly Talented

I highly recommend Marvin Tevaga for any event! My husband and I both grew up on Maui and we were looking for a local musician and found Marvin! He is incredibly talented, kind and friendly! We had him perform for our ceremony as well as during our cocktail hour. The music he played made the day even more romantic! He sent us a list of songs that he's able to play and I was incredibly happy that he already knew a song that I wanted for our processional. Thank you so much Marvin for your presence and making our special day so beautiful.

So talented!

Marvin is so talented!! We felt so lucky to have him perform at our ceremony and cocktail hour. His voice is so beautiful, and the ukulele brought the Aloha spirit to our wedding day. I had a special song that I wanted played while I walked down the aisle, and Marvin was able to learn it for us. Highly recommend!!

Marvin’s gift of music made our wedding day magical

Simply put - Marvin made our wedding dreams come true. His talent will bring happy tears to your eyes and joy to your guests.

We had to move our wedding date a number of times due to COVID, which was horrible and deflating. When people asked us why we just didn’t go the courthouse route, we had two reasons: we wanted our wedding to be memorable after the pain of moving it so many times, and we couldn‘t imagine our wedding day without Marvin. He was just that important to us. We had to change almost all of our other vendors, but it was worth it as long as we had Marvin on our wedding day.

Our wedding coordinator recommended Marvin, and when we heard a sample of his music, we didn’t have to consider anyone else. We had Marvin play both a list of songs in Hawaiian and in English for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Two of our guests even begged him to stay longer because they were so moved by his voice and spirit. They couldn’t stop raving about him.

We definitely want to hire him for our eventual anniversary dinner. If you have the opportunity to hire Marvin for your event, you should take it enthusiastically.

Marvin: Mahalo nui loa for all you did for our wedding

Amazing musician!

Marvin Tevaga was our musician for our ceremony and "reception" for our elopement/wedding for two at beautiful Merriman's. He played Cannon in D for the ceremony which was so beautiful. We requested a song to play at the end of our ceremony that he learned in less than 2 weeks! He even joined us during our photography session, playing while we took photos. He was absolutely wonderful and such a wonderful presence during our intimate ceremony and wedding celebration for just the two of us. I would recommend him to anyone getting married in Maui looking for a true-talent!!
