Tony So "The DJ" is the best of the best in Hawaii and made my wedding one memorable event! He is easy to work with and has all the music for your listening and dancing enjoyment. He has the best equipment, uplighting, and disco balls to enhance the dance floor and take it to another level. The music is what makes the party and you can count on Tony to produce a magnificent event to remember.
Tony -- thanks so much for all your expertise and professionalism. I will always recommend you!

DJ Tony So was a dream come true. He provided expert advice before the ceremony and lit up the night during the reception. Many of our guests commented that the song selection was excellent. This was evidenced by the packed dance floor the whole night through. DJ Tony So also provided all equipment we needed and was flexiible enough to accommodate any issues we had. I can think of no better DJ for anyone's wedding.

Tony So made our wedding so much fun and the music choices were awesome! We received so many compliments from our guests about how great the music was at the reception. It was a blast and Tony was so personable and charismatic, he really knows how to create a party atmosphere. He made the whole experience easy and we didn't have to worry about anything in the program or timeline because Tony took care of it without any problems or hitches. Tony is very creative and obviously has the talent and the experience to make a wedding a memorable day and fun for everyone! Tony went above and beyond the call of duty, he took the time and made the effort to help us put our timeline together, pick out songs, and plan the for program for the wedding. I would have been lost without him and he gave me so much relief and comfort and provided us with great suggestions. He made our wedding reception one of the most memorable parties of our lives, he got people out on the dance and made it fun. Tony is not only a great DJ but he is a wonderful person, it was great to work with him. I want to recommend Tony to all the brides on the planet! Thank you so much Tony for everything you did, it was amazing!!!

First off, I'd like to offer a bit of context to my review. My husband recently turned 30, and I'm in my late 20s. Music was near the top of our priority list - second to photography. We love hip hop, and new wave. While we have nothing against the YMCA, electric slide, etc., we weren't looking for those sort of tunes for our wedding. Tony So was recommended by another DJ we had contacted, but was unavailable on our wedding date. We were sold on Tony after our first conversation. Coincidentally, the DJ who recommended him became available (before signing a contract with Tony), but we felt our personalities clicked more with Tony, and moved forward with securing his services.
Tony provided the sound equipment for our ceremony and reception, in addition to a projector and screen for our slideshow at the reception. For those holding their wedding in Waikiki, you know how expensive projector rentals are! Regarding the ceremony audio, everything went off without a hitch. With 120 guests at our outdoor ceremony, he provided the necessary equipment to project the sound from our instrumentalists, and of course... us. A lot of my requests were last minute via email (e.g., boom mic), and he always responded within hours (sometimes minutes). He always assured me there was nothing to worry about, and that he would handle it. It was handled! My day of coordinator, nor I, nor my husband, had to worry about a thing when it came to Tony's services.
I wish I could upload pictures to this review, because the dance floor was never empty at our reception. What's amazing is that when songs weren't popular with the crowd (ones I provided), he would fade them out, and move on to the next one without anyone noticing. He was, by far, my favorite vendor and such a pleasure to work with. He's extremely personable, and his professionalism is top-notch. Thanks to Tony, everyone had a blast!
P.S. even our 70+ year old relatives were getting down on the dance floor - no joke!~

After reading many positive reviews on the Wedding Wire, it didn't take me long to finally choose Tony from "The DJ Hawaii" as my emcee/DJ for my wedding. I had researched many different websites and found out that DJ Hawaii had done a superb job at different venues and every occasion. He is very easy to talk with. During one of my first conversations with Tony on the phone, he sounded very genuine. I got that feeling that he was willing to help me in any way he could. I had done most of my communicating with Tony through email since I was living in the mainland. In fact, Tony showed that he cared and showed concern when he emailed us to see if we were ok when Hurricane Ike struck Texas in 2008. Tony responded very quickly to ALL my emails and was always willing to accommodate anything that I needed.
I needed a DJ/emcee who was fun and entertaining and who could liven up any party, in this case, a wedding. I also needed a DJ who could get people on the dance floor, including non-dancers like myself. I read somewhere that another person was afraid no one would get on the dance floor, but Tony somehow got everyone dancing at that party. This was something that I wanted to see for myself if Tony could get people on the dance floor.
We met several times a couple of weeks before our wedding. My wife and I sorta had our wedding program set, but not quite. Tony was nice enough to help us tweak our wedding program for our reception to make it flow better. I don't know of any other DJ that will do this without charging extra. Tony showed his experience doing weddings because he made sure everything would flow perfectly on our programs and assured us that he knew exactly when to play certain songs at certain times. Tony also took into consideration the type of songs we wanted played at our weddings.
When the day finally came, I remembered how professional Tony was. At one point, my wife was not too happy about our unity candle not being set up in our reception and that the room was not filled enough. Knowing that my wife was already stressed from making sure everything had to be perfect, Tony stayed calm and told us that he would wait a few more minutes for guests to arrive, (being it was a friday night) and proceeded to make sure that the unity table was setup in a timely manner before he would start the program.
I was amazed at how smooth our reception went. Everything was in order just like we had planned with Tony. Tony did a great job with the emceeing and not to mention the AWESOME music that Tony and his assistant had played for the reception. This showed us that Tony was also very organized. Most importantly he got people dancing on the dance floor INCLUDING myself. Not much of a dancer, but Tony somehow got me on the dance floor too.
I can't help but rave so much on the WONDERFUL job Tony did for our wedding. He is a real PROFESSIONAL and will not let you down. If you are searching for a fun and entertaining DJ at a great price for your occasion, stop your search now and look no further. Tony from "the DJ hawaii" is the ONLY DJ that you need. So stop stressing and book him now! You will not regret it, I promise!

Tony So "The DJ" provided more than music at our wedding. He provided the ambiance. He works with you ahead of time to understand the type of music, mood, flavor, and experience you want. During the wedding, he surprised us with appropriate fillers that smoothed over some unexpected dead spots. Tony was easy to work with and takes great pride in his art and the service he provides. I would highly recommend Tony to be "The DJ" at any event.

Most of the people would agree that one of the most important attributes for a successful and fun wedding is music, and that is exactly why my husband and I spent a lot of time selecting a DJ for our wedding in Hawaii. It was complicated to say the least, as we were planning a wedding in Hawaii and managing busy schedules in New York, but it was not the only complication. Our guests were from different parts of the world and we were looking to incorporate songs in at least six languages. Tony not only worked with us for hours on the song selection and timeline before we came to Hawaii, but stayed with us at our hotel till 2 am for several days to make sure everything was perfect. At the wedding everybody was dancing non-stop and having a great time, people didn’t even want to sit down to eat!
Tony gives his heart and soul at the event and always happy to help or suggest something. I can’t imagine anybody who is more professional and knowledgeable about entertainment then Tony!
P.S. Nice picture :)... Let me guess who took it :)

We met with Tony about two months before our wedding. He met with us went over everything and even worked with us on our budget! My friends & family loved the music and how sociable he was. He even emailed me to see if there was anything he could do to help with our wedding time line or anything else we needed. We appreciated all of his input and suggestions, we just wish it could have lasted longer! We'll always keep him in mind if anyone ever asks for a DJ.

Tony was awesome!!! Exceptional service and very helpful in understanding/designing the elements of a reception program. He presented excellent ideas and fulfilled our vision. We were very comfortable with Tony all the way through and were so happy the reception turned out the way it did. Tony is now a part of our ohana and we will recommend him to any of our friends and family members who plan to get married in Hawaii. Tony was also our emcee and this we highly recommend as well.

I would highly recommend using The DJ Hawaii for any wedding or event. Tony was very professional and had a personable and friendly attitude. I planned the majority of my wedding from the mainland and he was very easy to correspond with and always returned emails right away. Some things on my part were a little last minute, but he worked right through it and we had wonderful music for our wedding reception. We also had some parts of the program that required use of his sound system. Tony was very helpful in assisting with the set up and ensuring that everything was in working order. Great job!!
