Michael M. Sent on 03/04/2023The BEST Wedding Entertainer!
My now husband, Bryan, and I knew we wanted a live singer and ukulele player to perform for our Kauai wedding ceremony and reception, but little did we know we would land the best entertainer in Hawaii! After a lot of research, I came across Bula’s YouTube account and was instantly mesmerized by his smooth voice, his outstanding ukulele and guitar abilities, his hyped MC and DJ sets, and his team of some of the most skilled hula and fire knife dancers I have ever seen. The best part was all of these things were combined into just one entertainment package!
We were ecstatic to find out Bula was available for our wedding date, and we opted for a package that included it all! The process leading up to the wedding was extremely organized thanks to Bula’s wife, Ash. She provided a very detailed questionnaire for us to complete to get to know us better as a couple. Additionally, we set up a virtual call the week before the wedding to iron out last-minute details and timelines. One thing that I found especially attractive about Bula’s package was the seamless travel and accommodation arrangements. Bula’s team took care of their own flights, housing, and transportation of equipment from the Big Island to Kauai.
Fast forward to the wedding day, and all I can say is WOW! Everything about Bula and his team far exceeded our expectations. Hearing Bula sing as our wedding party walked down the aisle had me in tears. I have listened to our processional songs on Bula’s YouTube channel nonstop since our wedding. The hula show was one of our favorite parts of the day. At the end of the show, the two dancers brought me and Bryan up to teach us some hula moves, and it was a blast! I don’t think we have ever laughed as hard.
When it came time to open the dance floor, Bula knew how to get the entire room to our feet. We absolutely loved the music selection and smooth song transitions. There was nonstop dancing for hours, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how great Bula’s DJing was. We ended the night with two members of Bula’s team doing the best fire knife dance I have ever seen! They brought me up and let me touch the flame with my finger, hand, and mouth.
To sum it up, you NEED to have Bula be a part of your wedding. They travel to the different Hawaiian Islands and even the US mainland, so there’s no reason not to! -

I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service provided by Bula and their team for our special event. From the moment we reached out, they were incredibly responsive and accommodating, making the entire planning process a breeze. Their attention to detail was evident when they provided us with an extremely comprehensive schedule for the day of the event, ensuring everything ran smoothly.
Despite having to travel from the Big island with their team and all their equipment, they arrived on Maui seamlessly and were fully prepared to handle our unique needs. With two different locations boasting varying power requirements, they expertly set up without a hitch, alleviating any concerns we had.
The live music provided by Bula was nothing short of amazing. They perfectly set the tone for both our ceremony and reception, with music that resonated with our guests so much that they didn't want to leave the dance floor. Bula effortlessly incorporated all of our suggestions, ensuring that our vision was brought to life flawlessly. Additionally, my husband had a special surprise song he sang during his vows and Bula supported with live music making it truly special and unique. The conch shell during the ceremony literally brought our guests to tears (happy ones) and the hula and fire shows were absolutely breathtaking and a must. It truly was a highlight for us. Last, but not least, the lei greeters really helped set the tone for the beginning of the ceremony which was also loved by us and all of our guests.
Moreover, their team was an absolute pleasure to work with. Their professionalism, combined with their warm and friendly demeanor, made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. I wholeheartedly recommend Bula to anyone in need of top-notch entertainment for their event. They truly exceeded all expectations and made our day unforgettable. They truly brought the “ha” (breath of life) to our event and hope to have an excuse to work with them again. -

Picking a musician and DJ for a destination wedding can be a daunting task. Reading positive reviews can help allay any doubts when making that decision and I’m hoping that this review will do just that. I chose Bula because he epitomizes the spirit of aloha and his voice is so beautiful. Walking towards our wedding arch and hearing his angelic voice singing with the waves accompanying him just added to the joy of our wedding day. He and Ash made our wedding so special. I sent him a list of songs that my guests had requested and told him a bit about each person and he really made the night so fun by calling them out and getting them up on the dance floor. He provides everything you need for a night to remember. If you’re not sure who to hire, let me help: hire Bula! You’ll thank me later. -

Bula and his team are absolutely world-class. Our wedding day was literally the best day of my life, and the memories from our ceremony and reception would not have been possible without Bula. We added fire-knife performers that were incredibly amazing, and Bula even had a karaoke setup available for our karaoke-loving guests! So much fun all around and perfect in every way. -

Bula Music truly made our wedding day an unforgettable experience. From the initial planning stages to the final moments of our reception, Bula, Ash and the team went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect.
Ash's guidance in selecting Hawaiian songs with a Disney twist for our ceremony added a magical touch that we'll always cherish. Bula's performances during the ceremony were executed flawlessly, setting the tone for a day filled with love and joy.
Having Bula and his father perform live during our reception was a highlight for us and our guests. Their talent and passion for music shone through in every note they played, creating an atmosphere of pure celebration.
The live hula performance and fire dancer added an extra layer of excitement to our reception, making it an event to remember. The fact that Bula and his father provided the music for these performances made it even more special and personal.
As our MC and DJ for the evening, Bula kept the energy high and the party going. His ability to read the crowd and play the perfect songs ensured that everyone had a fantastic time.
What truly sets Bula Music apart is their dedication to getting to know their clients and understanding their vision for their special day. They listened to our preferences and exceeded our expectations at every turn, making our dream wedding a reality.
We cannot recommend Bula Music highly enough. If you're looking for talented musicians, passionate performers, and dedicated professionals to elevate your wedding day, look no further than Bula Music. They are simply the best in the business. -

Bula, went above and beyond. He was wonderful, his team was absolutely amazing. I would hire him again for another event without hesitation. I loved everything and every minute of entertainment he had. He made my wedding day beyond special, and accommodated my special requests so smoothly. Our wedding day was also my husbands birthday and I requested a special request to sing happy birthday and present my husband with a special cake and Bulla hit it on the spot to surprise my husband. He felt beyond special and he felt loved by everyone. We loved every minute -

Bula was absolutely incredible for our big island wedding. There was no one else even on the list for us, it had to be Bula. In fact, Bula and Ash were my favorite vendors to work with. His songs are so beautiful and my husband and I had such a fun time picking out our playlist (he knows so many songs!) The lights, fog machine, set up, duo during dinner - everything was perfection!
I will never be able to fully express my gratitude for Bula learning to play E Pili Mai so I could surprise my husband with a wedding hula I learned in secret over several months. I was so nervous but Bula helped me to feel confident and deliver such a beautiful dance and gift. My husband cried like a baby. Mahalo!!!! -

Bula and his partner Ash were one of the highlights of our Big Island wedding. So responsive when first reaching out and their experience working with couples during the planning phase made me feel so much better. Had great music in selection options and insights about how the entertainment could all come together to set the right mood for the guests and make the day full of positive memories. Bula was such an awesome DJ- I’ll never forget the jokes he made and how his voice made everyone remember they were in Hawaii and how much it is a special place. Thank you thank you thank you! -

It is hard for us to even put into words how magical this experience with Bula was. From start to finish, it was a smooth, easy and FUN process. Bula incorporates the magic of Hawaii and the Spirit of Aloha throughout the entire process; from planning, through the Big Day, and beyond. Our guest have not stopped raving about how amazing the wedding entertainment was, and we can’t imagine what our day would have been like without Bula and Ash leading it. We highly, highly recommend them for your special day. Our experience with them is sealed in our hearts forever! -

Bula is Da Bomb
When our wedding planner asked us what our top priorities were for our special day, MUSIC was at the very top of our list! Someone referred us to Bula, and as soon as we listened to some of his music and learned about his story we were completely sold--not only is he an incredible musician, but he has this great energy and spirit that really helped set the vibe of our wedding! We had him perform during our ceremony and cocktail hour, he DJ-ed during the reception, and served as MC throughout the whole evening (plus we added in some fire and hula dancers that wowed our guests). Everything was so perfect! Also, from a logistics perspective, his manager Ash was super helpful in coordinating the layout, sound and lighting with our planner - and they also did a great job of catering the music to our specific taste. Both Ash and Bula really went the extra effort to make sure everything was perfect and stress-free on the day of. Hope to hire them again at our next big event! -

We had such a magical experience at our ceremony. It was very small and in the desert, having Bula there doing the music was the perfect addition. Thank you for bringing such joy to our special day and Ash for being so helpful, we cannot wait to see our wedding vlog! -

Bula did an incredible job at our wedding! One of the things I was very impressed by was how he transitioned songs so seamlessly. He has an incredibly large selection of songs to choose from. Our guests were raving about him all night. He was part of the reason our day was the best day ever! -
