We were so glad Doug could perform at our wedding. He was so nice and great to work with. He was able to accommodate all of our song requests and he even was able to change instruments in the middle of the ceremony to accommodate my request to walk down the isle to the ukulele!! He played so beautifully and he really helped to make our ceremony special.

Thanks Doug!

Hi Doug,
Once again I would like to thank you so much for playing at our wedding! There were alot of compliments mentioned to us from our guests about the music being beautiful and amazing and it made the day that much more special!

- Jennifer Baillargeon (Schmidt)

Doug Fitch donated his time and talents to our fund-raising concert at Don Ho's Island Grill in March 2009. Those of us old enough to remember the great Hawaiian slack-key artists of the past were thrilled to hear this music so beautifully performed again. Some of us fell reverently silent; others got "chicken skin" as the years seemed to melt away.

The younger people who originally came to hear rock bands play were impressed with Doug's skill and presence. They have had few opportunities to experience such mastery of slack-key and were in awe of Doug's professionalism.

It was a treat for all of us. We are deeply appreciative of Doug's generosity in helping with our mission in Peru.

Doug and Noco,

What can I say, but wow! What a marvelous time to have you there at our anniversary ball. The hula was very beautiful and the music was great. You truly added to our celebration with your talents.

Thanks again for the CD, we are listening to it as I am typing. My RP has already commented on how beautiful you play and sing.

Thanks again for everything.

Blessings,
Fred Holcombe

We've seen Doug perform all over the place, and just knew that our guests would appreciate a great mix of live music, from folk to country to Hawaiian slack key. He is the consummate entertainer, and is amazing as both the "main event" and as pleasant background music. His talent and passion shine through in every song.

Doug,

I wanted to say "thank you" for performing at our wedding last month. We were truly, truly honored to have you perform, and your musicality was the perfect touch for our reception-it helped make the reception both Hawaiian and very tropical in nature. THANK YOU!

In particular, many thanks for spending a great deal of time with our own resident musicians and for playing Iz's "Over the Rainbow" as our wedding song. It's my favorite song and ever since we got engaged, I knew I wanted it as our wedding song. Your rendition of it was absolutely perfect. I can't wait to get back my friends' video of the ceremony so that I can watch/listen to our first dance.

Thank you dearly for all of your help. Many thanks for being the perfect guitarist at our reception. We loved your music and would highly recommend you to anyone.

Dear Doug,

Bryan and I would like to thank you for the absolutely beautiful job you did at our wedding in November!! You came highly recommended by my wedding coordinator so, we knew you'd be great but we didn't know how kind and thoughtful you would be. And on top of all that we could tell how much you love what you do. The fact that making music makes you happy added so much more to our special day and for that we will be forever grateful.

Best regards,
Bryan and Maggie Mermilliod

Thank you again for playing at our wedding! What an amazing musician you are. We couldn't have asked for a better song selection and ambiance you provided for our special day, not to mention the choice for when I walked down the isle! You knew exactly what to play and exactly what we wanted, yet our wedding was the very first time meeting one another. You are a truly remarkable musician. As you continued to play during our cocktail reception and as we visited with family and friends, hearing your voice and guitar provided the type of atmosphere we hoped to have. We heard nothing but wonderful comments from our guests about your music. They wanted you to continue all night! Can we do it all over again?!

Doug,

We absolutely loved having you perform for us at the fund raiser for the Hawaii Foodbank. I am glad we were able to introduce you at the Perry and Price radio show. Saturday's audience was quite impressed as well!

Thank you for joining the Great Chefs Fight Hunger in Hawaii!

Aloha Doug

I just want to extend my thanks and gratitude to you for participating in Magic at Mission Houses. We had over 700 people in attendance and there were rave reviews from many. This is the best event we have had and it would not have been possible without your help. Your song selection was perfect. It was nice to hear some Folk, Bluegrass, and Hawaiian and you blended it so well. Your music added to the festivity of this event. Best to you and I look forward to working together again in the future.

Doug, again, you were great! You are the MAN! So many people complimented us on your performance and all we could say is that we were just lucky we ran across you at the wedding expo that day. You made our wedding so very special.

Doug,

My wife and I would like to express our gratitude for your fine musical performance at our son’s wedding reception. My guests were pleasantly surprised to hear you play Hawaiian slack key songs that were written and sung by some of our Hawai`i’s finest talents such as Gabby…etc. Your music made dinner a delight and brought a special touch and ambiance to the party. My son and his new bride gave rave reviews about your entertainment, and also stated your performance complemented the white-table-cloth and candle-light setting of their reception. Again, I would like to thank you for making our celebration a success. I highly recommend you.

Doug presented a beautiful compilation of Hawaiian music, from slack-key favorites to current hits. His music captured the soul of classical instrumentals. I would highly recommend Doug to anyone hosting a special event, small to large.

Dear Doug,

I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how much I enjoyed your performance for our lumber convention on Saturday, May 19th.

You had a great variety of music, ranging from Hawaiian traditional, country/western, folk, to slack key & originals.

You are a very accomplished professional musician and I would enthusiastically recommend your talents for any performance.

As a musician myself, I noticed how well you bonded with the audience for their pleasure.

Please allow this as a letter of recommendation.

Best Wishes,

My husband and I had the pleasure of listening to Doug Fitch play slack key guitar at the Halekulani Hotel in Honolulu last June. The music was absolutely beautiful. The guests attending the event were very impressed with Doug's talent and knowledge of Hawaiian music. Doug's engaging personality and interpretation of the songs made the event memorable.
