About

Lighting parties on fire since 2009!

Roman Candles has over 9 years of radio, club, and mobile DJ experience in Honolulu. As host of The Morning Jive Thursdays 6-9am on 90.3 KTUH FM, I have access to the latest hot jams, as well as a library full of classics.

Everything from Frank Sinatra, classic jazz, funk, rock, country, soul, gospel, and R&B, to the most recent Top 40 hip hop/pop/EDM/remixes, and underground hip hop and house.

Professional, high quality, 1000 watt, 12" QSC brand speakers and matching 1000 watt, 18" subwoofer provide crisp, clean sound and thumping bass for events of up to 500 people indoors and outdoors, while sound-activated lasers, lights, bubbles, and fog create a high energy dance floor.

Whether you're getting married or trying to make a party fun, DJ Roman Candles will bring your vision to life!

When I'm not on air or mixing a funky fresh live set, I like to sail, SCUBA, lounge on the beach, travel hack, and explore my surroundings. I'm certified as a lifeguard, sailing instructor, and PADI Divemaster. In Spring 2015 I finished my Bachelor's Degree in Economics at University of Hawai'i at Manoa with Minors in Spanish, Political Science, and Marine Biology.

I'm thoroughly enjoying post-grad life in paradise. In the near future I plan to travel the world under sail in search of the perfect reef, wind, waves, sands, and jams.

Great Experience!

DJ Roman Candles was fantastic and truly helped set the tone for both our ceremony and reception. Before the big day, he sent a detailed questionnaire about our music preferences, which made us feel confident that everything would reflect our style and vision. On the day of the wedding, he was organized, professional, and kept the energy just right throughout the entire event. From the ceremony music to the reception, everything flowed seamlessly, and he did an amazing job keeping our guests engaged and on the dance floor. We received so many compliments about the music and overall vibe of the night. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ who is prepared, attentive, and genuinely invested in making your event unforgettable.

Best reception ever

I gave DJ Roman some instructions on what we wanted at our reception with the note that he is welcome to use his professional judgement to make it a good party and I am so glad he did!!! Everyone has been talking about the dance party for days after the wedding and how much fun they had and how they want to fly DJ Roman to the mainland for their weddings! Thank you DJ Roman for bringing the party to us!!!!!

DJ Roman Candles had all our wedding guests dancing all night!!

DJ Roman Candles DJ'ed our wedding at Turtle Bay Resort and he was AMAZING!!! We weren't sure if our group would be big into dancing but he had EVERYONE on the floor the ENTIRE NIGHT!!! He did an awesome job of picking songs that every age group would like and doing fun transitions between the songs too so that there was no lull in the party. He was also great at MC'ing and making the important announcements for our event. DJ Roman was reliable and easy to communicate with as needed during the planning process, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ!

Amazing DJ!!

We are so lucky to have found DJ Roman Candles! He was an amazing DJ that kept the party going all night and played just the right music! He was great at keeping me calm during the days leading up to the wedding and was always polite and accommodating as I texted him with changes mere hours before the wedding. I had him for 8 hours during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and added on the projector to play a couple of videos! He helped everything flow flawlessly and was so fun!

Good communication both in advance and immediately proceeding the event.

Really quality DJ experience. Our friends had great things to say about DJ Roman. He played our fun hits with a few mix-ins which were well received. He had a great vibe and this awesome smile on his face the whole show. He was the most affordable DJ with his set up. Highly recommend.

DJ Roman Candles is THE best!

If you are looking for a DJ, seriously look no further. Roman was so responsive, helpful, caring, outgoing, and flexible. He honestly was key to making my wedding day go so smooth. He made it all happen. I had a friend create a mix for my walk down the aisle and he perfectly played it along with all of my & the guests music requests. I can't thank him enough for such a perfect day. I also can't express enough how wonderful he is and anyone looking for a great DJ to hire him. If anyone has any questions, please reach out. I would be happy to be a reference! Thank you so much Roman, you are awesome!
