Barefoot Minded created the best vibe for our wedding!

Barefoot Minded was absolutely amazing! We can’t thank them enough for helping make our wedding day so perfect. We had listened to their music online and loved their vibe, but hearing them live at our wedding was something else entirely—they created such a beautiful atmosphere, and their sound truly brought everything to life.

So many of our guests commented on how incredible the music was throughout the event. From the ceremony to cocktail hour, every moment felt elevated thanks to them. They even helped us choose songs for our first dance and the Father/Daughter dance, which was such a thoughtful touch and really helped take the pressure off.

We’re so grateful they were part of our big day—highly recommend Barefoot Minded to anyone looking for live music that’s heartfelt, talented, and completely unforgettable!

Phenomenal music

This review is hard to write. How do you capture the feeling of perfect, pleasant music that absolutely set the mood for your entire ceremony and reception in words? Words always feel inadequate.

Let me start by saying Barefoot Minded was the thing we were the most sure about for our wedding and, as it turned out, it was with good reason! They were the uniting piece that made our ceremony and reception truly beautiful.

We booked the duo, which in our case was Oren and Levi. Both were friendly and approachable and clearly cared deeply about creating excellent music and the right vibe to match our ceremony. Oren was easy to reach and was able to handle many likely annoyingly specific requests without ever making us feel like we were asking for too much. It made us even more confident we had booked the right music for the day.

They played at both our ceremony and reception. At the ceremony, they captured such a perfect mood that our only regret was we didn’t spend enough time appreciating them. During the reception, whenever we stopped listening to conversation, we could hear their beautiful tropical sounds coast through the noise. They were also a pleasure to dance to and got even our small wedding up and dancing.

We honestly cannot recommend them enough. This is THE MUSIC you want for your Hawaiian wedding or get-together or whatever. Don’t look anywhere else. They are absolutely perfect.

The perfect wedding vibe

We had Levi and Oren from Barefoot minded play at our Maui wedding. They did a perfect job of reading the group and choosing the best songs to play which totally set the fun, laid back vibe we were going for. They were professional, fun and personable. All of our guests are still raving about how awesome they sounded and how fun they were. 10/10 definitely recommend. You will not regret hiring them to play for your special event.

World class musicians

This was an amazing band for any occasion and of course a wedding. We enjoyed Barefoot Minded! Their music was world-class and made our wedding feel special and intimate. They learned our first dance song for us and played it beautifully. We should have booked them for longer. Four hours wasn't enough. If you want live music and not a DJ for your event, this band is the one to pick. Pricing is very reasonable and the value for your event is exceptional. Thank you Barefoot Minded! Chris and Melissa of Kapalua.

Perfect band for Hawaii wedding!

We had a small wedding of 43 people. So I was not sure if people would actually end of dancing during it. But Barefoot minded was so amazing!! They got everyone up and having an amazing time!!! I am still getting so many compliments on them. We are also big 80s music fans and they learned a bunch of 80s songs to play! Would hire them again in a heart beat.

Amazing talent

Oren was wonderful to communicate with from afar. All of our guests raved about their talent. Another thing I truly enjoyed was Oren and his band mate learning a specific song for my "down the aisle" with my father. They made the whole experience of our wedding day, come together perfectly. We cannot recommend them enough!! MAHALO!

Great Aloha Vibes

Barefoot Minded was a great vendor to work with and provided amazing music at our ceremony and reception. Oren was awesome to work with and very communicative during the process and especially during COVID, he was very helpful in assessing our budget and helping us maximize their services and even changed his personal plans to accommodate our wedding when we had to reschedule.

Barefoot Minded had great vibes and loved the music they played during the reception. They were professional and fun, a great vendor to work with and a standout duo!

We would definitely recommend their services and cannot speak highly enough of the great vibes there added to our special day.

Perfection

The guys were recommended by Merriman's Kapalua. They were even better than we could've imagined! We were late to give them any preferences or direction, literally doing so 3 days before the wedding, and they still pulled it off. They heard my dad say he was a Dead Head and pulled out some Grateful Dead at the reception. It was all literally perfect. HIGHLY recommend.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
