    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!

    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

    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.

    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!!

    Special touch to our wedding!

    Marvin was amazing at my wedding in December at Olowalu Plantation House.

    He performed as my guests were arriving for the ceremony, my recessional, and cocktail hour. He definitely put a special touch to my wedding, and my guests couldn't stop raving about him!

    He is super talented, and his voice is amazing! If you're looking for a musician for a special event, I would definitely recommend him! Thank you Marvin!

    Marvin is amazing!

    All of our guests were raving about how amazing Marvin was! He really knows how to capture a crowd. His smooth Hawaiian voice is nothing short of amazing! He even learned a song for us that we walked down the isle too! Amazing! 💜❤️

    True talent!

    Marvin is a remarkable musician! His amazing ukulele playing talent is only surpassed by his remarkable voice. He played a few recognizable songs for our processional and recessional, but one of the highlights was having him perform traditional Hawaiian music. Our wedding simply wouldn’t have felt right without a ukulele. He took the time to learn a song we requested that wasn’t part of his normal list of songs and he nailed it! We could truly feel the aloha through his playing and through his voice. He made our wedding even more perfect! We highly recommend Marvin to anyone who hopes to have the perfect wedding, and who hope to have their guests feel the mana and aloha!

    Best Ukaleleist

    Our ukaleleist, Marvin Tevaga, made our ceremony feel so romantic and intimate, which was exactly the vibe we were going for.! He was very professional and has so many song choices to choose from, he was absolutely wonderful!

    One year ago, my sister married in Maui, accompanied by the wonderful and touching music of Marvin.
    His performance at the wedding found a big place in her heart and over the whole last year she raved about it.
    On my request, Marvin recorded a personal videomessage for their anniversary.
    After receiving the video, I can finally understand my sister (they married without family, just the two of them) and I'm just HAPPY and thankful for his work.
    THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

    Marvin is an incredibly talented musician and we were so lucky to have him perform at our wedding. His beautiful voice over the ukulele was the perfect backdrop for our intimate ceremony and reception. I was so delighted to hear many of our guests rave about how great he was! Marvin even accommodated a last-minute request to learn a new song. Thank you so much, Marvin--we'll be contacting you for our next Maui celebration!

    Marvin is so talented! We were lucky to have Marvin perform at our ceremony and cocktail hour at our wedding on July 15th at the Ritz Carlton, and we are so glad that we got to work with him.

    Sadly, we missed his performance during the cocktail hour because we were busy taking photos, but our guests let us know afterwards how awesome it was and how impressed they were by his performance! Definitely book Marvin if you get the chance- he is amazing and you will not regret it!

    Marvin made our wedding truly unforgettable. He has an absolutely amazing voice and our guests raved about his diverse song choices (from Hawaiian to classic rock). He even learned some custom songs we requested. His performance was so memorable that for our 1 year anniversary I surprised my wife with a private performance. I can’t say enough good things about Marvin and highly recommend him for any special event. Mahalo!

    Marvin was great! We were super excited to have Marvin be apart of our special day and we were not disappointed. He came highly recommended. We of course did research of our own to back this up and checked out all of Marvin's You-Tube videos. We quickly became Marvin fans. He was so accomdating and gave us everything we wanted for our day. Couldn't be happier with our choice. Marvin is a very talented and humble individual. Thanks for everything Marvin.

    The bride and groom picked this trio. My now son-in-law is very particular about his music. As mother-of-the-bride, I have to say that it was a fabulous choice. Their music was beautiful and fit everyone's taste.

    If you'd like to highlight your emotions on your wedding venue and if you'd like to be entertained by lovely music and some real hawaiian ukulele tunes, Marvin Tevaga will be the man!!! The Songs he has in his repetoir are very good picks and the way he perfoms them is simply amazing. Marvin's voice is so warm, beautiful and genuine it will hit straight into your heart and move you for sure. He will be the perfect audible companion to make your special day unforgettable. Marvin Tevaga is a very gentle person who integrates naturally into your venue. - In my opinion, Marvins version of "Over The Rainbow" is the very best in the entire world. - It gets me goose bumps and tears of joy everytime I hear it! :) - I am so very glad that he was a part of our genius crew members that made our wedding perfect.

    Marvin performed at our ceremony and during our cocktail hour, asking him to be a part of our special day was the best decision! His voice is smooth and absolutely beautiful! To re live the moment, my husband and I find ourselves on his you tube page just so we can hear him sing our song! He is so amazing!! You'd be crazy not to have him at your event! I'd give anything to go back in time to hear him live! ?? Jocelyn&AnhQuan
