If I could give them more than 5 stars I would.
We absolutely loved them. From beginning to end, they were the best.
They just made us feel at ease. They worked with us, and did such an amazing job.
I would recommend them to everyone. I just cannot say how WONDERFUL they are.

I would highly recommend Pulama if you want high quality Hawaiian style music.Jim and Paula were very professional.About 2 months before the wedding they met with us to look at the wedding venueand talk about the songs we wanted played. We must have spent two hours with them.They brought a possible list of songs and played and sang for us. It was a wonderful experience.The day of the wedding they came early to set up.Everyone at the wedding and reception loved them.If you use Pulama, you are in for a truly exceptional experience.Carolyn M.
The music was fabulous. My husband's family is from Hawaii, and they were very impressed with the performance, thought it sounded quite authentic.
Soon after booking (within weeks), I received a folder containing song lyrics in both Hawaiian and English and a CD of music, both vocals and instrumentals.
We picked out the songs we liked, decided on the order in which we wanted them performed, and emailed the info.
Everything was handled conscientiously and professionally; Jim even came to Sacramento a week early to meet with our onsite wedding coordinator and confirm technical details (electrical hookups, equipment placement, etc.) for our outdoor ceremony. And did I say the music and vocals were fabulous?

Jim and Paula learned a song to play especially for our weddingand were exceptionally accommodating.We really enjoyed every aspect of having them play. Mahalo Pulama!!CG
Pulama was the best.
They were on time and very professional at all times.
We felt very comfortable with them, all most like they were family.
I would recommend them over and over to all of our friends and family.
I want to Thank them with all of our hearts.
I would also like to say that Pulama came with everything that they neededto play and sing with so there was no drama.
Set up and take down was fast and clean and that is the way you want your engagement party to be.

Ps we would love to have them back for our 5th anniversary!

As an officiant specializing in weddings based on Hawaiian tradition, it has been my pleasure to work with Pulama and to recommend them to my couples.
Their gorgeous Hawaiian music is matched only by their professionalism, warm hearts, and dedication to making your wedding, party, or other event relaxed and memorable.

I think of Jim Romano as the guitarist (maybe because I used to play guitar), and Paula Rudman as the singer. In fact, they are a beautifully matched singing duo; but when he's playing solo, Jim is not only a masterful and sensitive guitarist, but also a very sweet singer. Pulama's performances range from playful to deeply moving, and I am eagerly awaiting their second CD.Mitch
I had Pulama play at a party at my house and they were fantastic!!
It was soothing when needed, hopping when we were and just down right entertaining!Brought all my friends together in a lovely way!!
Highly Recommend them!!

I love to go to King Tsin restaurant on the Friday afternoon once a
month when Jim Romano is playing slack-key guitar and singing
Hawaiian songs.I even stay in the area in order to return and hear
Jim and Paula singing Hawaiian music together that same
evening - so beautiful to hear, and so relaxing, especially
in these stressful times!Irene M.
I listen to your amazing cd all the time.What beauty. Thanks for sharing it with us. You guys are truly wonderful.Sacha Kawaichi
Pulama will forever remain close to our hearts, both in the soulful connections that have been made between our families and through the timeless gift of the music you have created.
Most heartfelt thank you for embracing in your music our beloved daughter, Adriane Sage, and for extending such warmth and Aloha in this gesture.
We never imagined that so many of our thoughts, emotions and dreams for "Sage" could be captured so beautifully and so precisely by another. Truly amazing how this has been accomplished through your song. Priceless. Many, many thanks!
Warmest Aloha,
Sage's Mommy, Daddy and Grandparents

My office enjoyed a really lovely Valentine's Day/Friday the 13th Hawaiian singing telegram from Jim & Paula. They were a delight and we'll absolutely refer or use them again.
