Tiger Jones Productions

DJ Tiger and Betsy are the best they come. My husband and I celebrated our 25^th wedding anniversary with a vow renewal and tagged a family reunion with the celebration. Betsy had an excellent way about guiding me through the process and providing me with ideas regarding music and creating a program. After a couple of emails back and forth I totally relied on Betsy and DJ Tiger to make the entertainment part of the event happen… and they DID NOT Disappoint… loved the laser lighting and all of our guest was very complimentary of the whole evening. It was a truly an amazing night. DJ Tiger and Betsy are very professional and was very attentive to my needs. I highly recommend them.

My husband and I had the great honor and privilege of having Tiger, our very own brother-​in-​law, deejay our wedding recently and he completely rocked the party. Not only was I blessed with having my own sister and matron of honor Betsy help plan our wedding from day one, but between Betsy and Tiger, who was also one of my husband’s groomsman, they really went above and beyond for us! Even with the tough conditions (broken elevator and three flights of stairs), they pulled off an incredible and seamless event. Our wedding and reception could not have been more magical! Everyone danced the whole night and all of our guests kept commenting on how great the music was and how cool the lighting and effects were. I feel so fortunate to have had the best Deejay in Hawaii do our wedding and even more blessed to call Tiger and Betsy family. Their passion for what they do day in and day out clearly shows and there is simply no one else we would have ever wanted to be in charge of the most important night of our life. Thank you Tiger and Betsy! We love you guys!

DJ Tiger and Betsy are AMAZING. Betsy is such a charismatic and efficient emcee — her sweet yet upbeat voice gets everyone’s attention and guests immediately obey her command to «get on the dancefloor!»
Not to mention that I was so overwhelmed near the wedding date that I only sent them a vague guideline for songs to play — and DJ Tiger did a fantastic job of creating a playlist of songs on his own that everyone would like. At one point, we packed all 60 guests onto the dancefloor at the same time — and that speaks for itself, if you ask me!
I truly think that DJ Tiger and Betsy kept the energy going and the guests entertained, while keeping the whole event organized and bringing guests back together for the major moments (first dance, father/​daughter dance, cake-​cutting, etc.)
I really couldn’t be happier and I would highly recommend this husband-​wife team to anyone thinking of getting married on the Big Island. Thank you guys, so much!

We wish there were more stars to give DJ Tiger and Betsy, because they far exceeded 5! We had a destination wedding in the Big Island in January 2015, and when it came to researching which vendors to hire for our big day, finding a top quality DJ was high on our priority list. We both feel confident saying that we truly found THE BEST!
From the moment I spoke with Betsy, I had a good feeling. She was extremely responsive and helpful well beyond their professional scope. She gave us advice on venues, and even sent pictures from a few different places to give me an idea of what the venues look like with a wedding set-​up. She was honest, and gave me tips on how to get the most for my money; offering a variety of suggestions on the best sound/​system set-​up for our venue. This included putting us in contact with another vendor who could provide a cheaper sound system for our live musician to play down by the water, and meant that we didn’t have to pay DJ Tiger for extra waiting time. Betsy became one of my key trusted sources of information during the wedding planning process, which is crucial if you are trying to plan a destination wedding.
Betsy and Tiger were also very accommodating. My father planned a very intricate father/​daughter dance, which involved several songs woven together at different times. Betsy was happy to take calls from from my parents to work out the details. And it went off perfectly! They also made putting together a song-​list and slideshow easy and stress-​free.
Betsy and Tiger made every effort to make the day meaningful to us as a couple and had great attention to detail. At some stage, I briefly mentioned to Betsy in an email that my future father-​in-​law loved a particular song. But I must have forgotten about it in the lead-​up to the wedding. Imagine my delight when it surprisingly came on and I see my father-​in-​law (a man who is normally quite reserved) absolutely owning the dance floor and singing at the top of his lungs. I could barely remember telling Betsy about that song, and couldn’t believe she remembered! I have honestly never seen him so happy! It was a very memorable moment.
DJ Tiger does a lot of weddings beyond many other corporate/​event functions, and is a an expert in his craft. As my brother (an audio engineer) said, «DJ Tiger is legit.» He is extremely talented and a true professional. Tiger was able to make incredible musical links and leaps among the songs we requested in the set. This was particularly impressive given the fact that we sent him several songs from our home in New Zealand; songs that were unfamiliar. He truly knows how to read a crowd and keep everyone dancing. The many awards he has received speaks to his high level of skill and reputation. Several guests STILL compliment me on how much fun the wedding was, how GREAT the music was, and how it was one of the best weddings they have attended. They have even requested the playlist! This is a great honor for a bride/​groom to hear about their special day.
Thank you Betsy and Tiger for helping to make our wedding truly memorable, and better than we ever could have expected. We feel like we not only found a great DJ, but also great friends. We look forward to keeping in touch. Kia ora!

Thank you to Tiger Jones and Betsy for your excellent services at our recent wedding. Betsy was a joy to work with and I really appreciated her excellent and timely communication, even in the midst of several wedding challenges that I had. They played great music and you can tell really enjoy their job. My husband I enjoyed talking to them after the reception, they are such sweet, down-​to-​earth people that want their clients to be happy. I hope our paths cross again and wish you the best! Thank you!

Finding the right DJ was one of our top priorities, and Tiger Jones Productions surpassed our expectations! Our song list really reflected the time we spent brainstorming all the best music choices for our diverse guests. Betsy’s communication is a huge strength, as she is very responsive and easy to work with — even with a destination wedding. DJ Tiger really listened during the event; for example, after a Best Man speech referencing our love for Billy Joel, DJ Tiger played one of our favorite Billy Joel songs to transition. Both are professional and work well with the Four Seasons Hualalai team in Kona, HI. Well done and mahalo for sharing in our special day!

Cannot express how much we LOVED working with Betsy & Tiger. To echo the other reviews, they were professional, kind, and sure know how to keep a party going !!! Thanks to Tiger Jones Productions, we received many «Best Wedding Ever» compliments. They thought on their feet (there was a power issue at our venue which caused the music to stop for a bit) and remained calm and positive under pressure. Betsy is a STAR… of all our wonderful vendors, she is a mainland bride’s dream… by far the most communicative and responsive of the lot ! You know when a good TV series or book ends and you feel like you’ve lost a friend? That’s how I feel about Betsy & Tiger now that our wedding is over. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I promised my ring designer that he would be my first post-​wedding Unilocal review, but I’m going to have to break that promise, because DJ Tiger and his wife, Betsy, deserve it the most!
I would write this on Wedding Channel or one of the other wedding sites, but I think they already have over 150 positive reviews there, and I know that some people use Unilocal exclusively.
First and foremost, prior to the wedding I dealt only with Tiger’s wife, Betsy. She was a GODSEND. Mainland folks who have a destination wedding in Hawaii should be aware that most of the vendors, especially on the Big Island, operate on Hawaiian time. By now, you probably know what this means (random delays, unreturned phone calls, general «don’t worry about it» mentality). It’s possibly the worst combination for a stressed out bride.
But not TIGER AND BETSY!!! Although they are from Hawaii, they are TYPE A and ON TOP OF THEIR STUFF! I can’t emphasize this enough. Betsy was very responsive to email (day and night), friendly in her communications, and always willing to go the extra mile to find songs, make sure we had the version of each song we wanted, etc. She even sent friendly reminders to keep me on task when it came time to selecting the final list (entrance songs, dinner, reception, etc.).
But that’s not all. When I had problems with the wedding coordinators assigned to me by the resort (yes, a revolving door of wedding coordinators because the resort kept having HR problems), Betsy was able to pinch hit. I emailed her once out of desperation and asked if she had any suggestions for ceremony acoustic musicians (something she and Tiger don’t provide, obviously). She went out of her way to find names and phone numbers for me, even going so far as to call the Concierge at another resort to confirm contact info for one guy. Hello??? I had a paid wedding coordinator that couldn’t go the extra mile like that, and this wasn’t even her job! Love it.
Anyway, Tiger and Betsy had five stars before we even got to the reception, just because of the customer service alone. But the wedding was pretty awesome too. There was a slight mix-​up with our first dance song, but we rolled with it and they came up with a great idea to just add it after dinner. All’s well that ends well. And Tiger kept the party rocking for my crazy friends!
My only suggestion for their business is to compile a master list of suggested/​recommended songs from different genres because having to come up with a song list from scratch is very difficult. I’m not great with a blank canvas. I ended up grabbing one from a Los Angeles-​based DJ friend of mine, and I couldn’t have come up with such an awesome mix of songs without it. It was a check-​the-​box thing. But that’s my only minor complaint. Definitely nothing compared to how awesome they are!
Thank you Betsy and Tiger!

I cannot say enough great things about Tiger and his wife Betsy. They are awesome DJs and hosts. Incredibly professional and willing to work with any set of constraints. We had very specific music choices for our wedding which included some unconventional classic rock and pop music. We didn’t want any cheesy wedding dances or songs and Tiger and Betsy were happy to do whatever we wanted. They read the crowd perfectly and even turned the volume up and down when we requested. Their equipment and lighting is classy and elegant. They even met with us a few days beforehand on site to go over last minute details. They were on time and set up everything in time. What more could you ask for out of a wedding DJ? If you want to make sure your DJ plays exactly what you want, look no further than Tiger Jones. I don’t think any other DJ would have been as accommodating. Highly recommend! 5 stars!
