Weddings & Events
Since 2000, Dayton has been playing music at weddings and private events.
Slack key for weddings
Slack key (kī hōʻalu) is a traditional Hawaiian instrumental style of music that creates a beautiful, calm and peaceful atmosphere for wedding ceremonies. It’s a beautiful alternative to classical music, especially for a true island feel.
- “Green Rose Hula”: the perfect song for the Bridal Party’s walk down the aisle.
- “Longer Than”: the perfect song for the Bride’s walk down the aisle.
Ceremony, cocktail hour & reception

Beyond slack key, he plays and sings everything from slack key/traditional Hawaiian to John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Eric Clapton, James Taylor, Bobby Caldwell, Michael Jackson and Bob Marley.
