Paul Togioka

When choosing a musician for our Hawaiian wedding we wanted something very reminiscent of Hawaii and its natural beauty. The most important song to me was Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Hawaiian artist Israel Kamakawiwo Ole'. This particular song was featured in the movie, 50 First Dates, starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. We had chosen a couple of musicians that had the right sound and flavor. We went with Paul because our wedding planner, Manulele knew Paul personally and felt his work would be best for us.

Paul played so wonderfully at our wedding Iz's song as well as other fun and beautiful songs while the guests waited for my arrival and afterwards during pictures. Paul is very reasonably priced and highly recommended.

I debated whether or not to hire a separate musician for the ceremony and cocktail hour, but I’m so glad that we did. He was very prompt to respond to emails and was very flexible about some last minute changes we wanted to make. He is very talented. For the cocktail hour I simply requested that he play upbeat music, and although we weren’t there to enjoy it the guests said it really added to the overall experience.
