    Booking an officiant from oversea's was a little bit scary. But Jon made the whole process so easy! We had the most beautiful ceremony and it all ran so smoothly. Jon was professional but made the ceremony feel special and intimate. Our guest's raved about him and loved the ceremony just as much as us. You can feel confident that you'll will have a beautiful and meaningful ceremony if you hire Jon as your officiant. We can't thank him enough for making our day so special!

    We were married on October 9, 2017 and Jon was amazing! We had a small wedding at Kualoa Ranch of about 35 people and I did all the planning from California. Because the wedding was so small I decided to do all of my own planning and I can tell you Jon from the start was responsive, answered all my questions, and last minute when I decided to get a bouquet and leis for me and groom he did it without hesitation and they were beautiful. I have a 3 year old daughter who lost it as I was about to walk down the isle and by the time I got to where Jon and my soon to be husband was I wanted to cry but his calm demeanor and warm smile helped me to keep it together. My only regret was not meeting with him before hand. I don't think I really got to thank you at the wedding.. thanks Jon you were amazing!!!

    Mahalo Mahalo Mahalo.... you did a wonderful job planning everything yourself... it was truly a personalized yet special day because you planned it all your self. I am sadden that the baby girl cried... but once the ceremony was done a "Mamas Bond" with her baby girl is priceless..... Happy Days... Happy Lives...

    `Ae`Ike Hawaiian Wedding Officiant Services's reply:

    Its absolutely amazing when I can wed my Kama'aina residents who are also my LGBT couples as well. It was a pleasure to help the both of you make this a legal binding document in the eyes of the State of Hawai`i, even if you both already had your personal private ceremony years ago... In the State's eyes, you are not both wed.... Have a beautiful life together with the kids....

    Kahu Jon made our wedding so memorable and amazing. The Hawaiian wedding traditions was so nice to hear about in the ceremony and we enjoyed every bit of the history. Our wedding party also felt that the ceremony was so special and amazing. We enjoyed the full package and would really recommend it! Just a perfect day.

    `Ae`Ike Hawaiian Wedding Officiant Services's reply:

    Your family was amazing, they greeted me with the best welcome ever. Your baby boy is adorable and cute, and his clothes matched his daddy (your husband) perfectly. I was happy to share my style, culture and music with fellow Scandinavian Natives. Have a blessed one...

    Kahu Jon deserves 30x5 stars, our 30 guests loved it and said the ceremony was so inspired, the best barefoot wedding ceremony ever. Mahalo Jon, without you, our wedding wouldn't be the same.

    `Ae`Ike Hawaiian Wedding Officiant Services's reply:

    Vince, you are one of the few men that I know who did all the planning... everything... to make his wife feel special on their wedding day. The Haku head lei, flowers, torches, floral circle... everything so well planned.. it made my job easier... Much love and Aloha to you and your wife....

    If you are planning a destination Hawaiian wedding Kahu Jon is the man to hire!! He is very professional, responds quick to emails and questions, very personable, and he makes the ceremony fun! There's Hawaiian chants, blowing of the conch, he wears the the Hawaiian attire. Very prompt when filing the marriage license. Overall I would recommend Kahu Jon to anyone who is looking for an officiant.

    `Ae`Ike Hawaiian Wedding Officiant Services's reply:

    Your Lanikuhonua location for your ceremony was simply breathtaking. I enjoyed preforming the ceremony just as much as I enjoyed Ko Olina. It was great to see Pat the emcee and DJ whom I worked with for many years. Mahalo again for choosing me (`Ae `Ike).

    Kahu Jon came highly recommend to us from our DJ and we're very glad that he was! Our ceremony was everything we thought it would be and Kahu Jon was A big reason for this! We wanted a traditional Hawaiian ceremony and could not be happier with the way the program delivered! From the blowing of the conch shell to the lei exchange to the history of the traditions, the ceremony blew us away! Kahu Jon was personable and funny and we can't imagine having anyone else marrying us! We received so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the ceremony was. We would recommend Kahu Akon to anyone looking to get married!!!

    `Ae`Ike Hawaiian Wedding Officiant Services's reply:

    The ceremony at the Hiltonʻs Akala Chapel was simply beautiful... Your family was great and the wedding professional you hired were great... Your DJ is a wonderful collaborator, I am honored he trusted me with your ceremony.

    DO NOT hesitate when considering Kahu Jon. Kuahiwi Moniz for your wedding!! My wife was literally in tears with how special he made our ceremony, and how perfect he made our wedding!! The perfect balance of Hawaiian culture, with modern ceremony. Looking back, I could not imagine using anyone BUT him! It was actually magical and a part of my life I will never forget, made even more memorable by his services! My only regret is I could not give him more stars!! Mahalo nui Jon!!

    My grandfather is full Hawaiian and yet there wasn't too many people in the audience who have ever experienced a traditional Hawaiian wedding! I have had so many compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was, I would recommend `Ae `Ike over and over again! We decided not to say personalized vows because we did not want to take away anything from the ceremony being in Hawaiian and neither of us speak fluently. He did amazingly keeping it traditional, interacting with our guests, keeping it light, and mild humor which I loved! You won't be disappointed you chose him!

    `Ae`Ike Hawaiian Wedding Officiant Services's reply:

    Aloha, The honor is mine....I am humbled to have been a part of two of your family wedding ceremonies... and some of your Aunts have already mentioned to me when they get married they wanted me to preform it... Humbled to be almost like a family wedding officiant... Your family has so much ALOHA... Mahalo again!

    Kahu Jon Kuahiwi Moniz did an amazing job and made our day perfect. From the perfect setting on the beach at sunset to the perfect ceremony making our special day the best it could be.

    `Ae`Ike Hawaiian Wedding Officiant Services's reply:

    It was an honor to preform the ceremony in my hometown. It was a beautiful sunset as you closed the ceremony with the kiss to your wife. Even the other beach go-ers were enjoying the ceremony as well. Much Mahalo.

    Kahu Jon did an exceptional job! It was important to my husband and I that we had a traditional Hawaiian ceremony. Most of our family and friends came from the mainland and they were very impressed. The chants and blowing of the conch shell were just a few of the aspects that I loved. Kahu Jon was also very professional during our rehearsal and did a fantastic job with my very large wedding court. I chose him because of the great reviews he has received. If you are a bride that is hesitant with making a final choice, look no further!

    `Ae`Ike Hawaiian Wedding Officiant Services's reply:

    Mahalo Nui Loa! Gosh this was a beautiful ceremony you planned out, you envisioned a wonderful ceremony. Good Planning! and wow your uncle playing that special "My endless love..." on the soprano saxophone as you and your husband walked down the aisle was the highlight of my weekend. Everything was beautiful, Mahalo for choosing `Ae `Ike.

    Jon was AMAZING. We were so happy that we found him to be our officiant. We wanted to find an officiant that really shared the Hawaiian culture and Jon is it. At our rehearsal he explained his family traditions and how he teaches Hawaiian culture to others. At our ceremony, he did not miss a beat. He was so on point and made the ceremony an amazing, magical experience. We have several family members that are now going to use Jon to renew their vows!!! We were absolutely impressed with Jon and could not have asked for a better officiant. We would recommend him to anyone needing an amazing officiant.

    `Ae`Ike Hawaiian Wedding Officiant Services's reply:

    Aloha! Your family is amazing. I am privileged to have shared in that cultural ceremony as well. Mahalo, and I canʻt wait to bless your family in renewing their vows as well. Honi Honi

    We really wanted an unforgettable Hawaiian wedding experience for us and our guests and Kahu Jon just exceeded our expectations. He always responded fast to our emails and calls and ensured that we received all the guidance before the big day. He was very helpful with obtaining the Hawaii marriage license too. All our guests are very impressed by his service and even our native Hawaiian guests wanted to chant with him. He truly made our Hawaiian wedding a memorable experience to everyone who shared our special day!

    `Ae`Ike Hawaiian Wedding Officiant Services's reply:

    That was an amazing day... the rain actually held out long enough for us to do the ceremony and make it a memorable one... I love that my local families enjoyed the traditional Hawaiian chants. He Male Mau a Mau, the happiest marriage of a lifetime... Aloha, Kahu Kuahiwi

    We experienced the most beautiful traditional Hawaiian ceremony with chants and blowing of Conch Shell. The officiant, Jonathan Moniz's words about love and marriage made the ceremony the most special day of my life. Thank you so much!

    Choose `Ae`Ike Hawaiian Wedding Officiant Services if you would like a beautiful ceremony. We were married at Waimea Valley waterfall and the vows were beautiful and exactly what we were looking for. We could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding. He responded immediately to any questions we had. We planned our wedding from Texas and with his help it was easy to plan from so far away.

    `Ae`Ike Hawaiian Wedding Officiant Services's reply:

    I have been preforming ceremonies for almost five years now, I have never preformed a ceremony at Waimea Falls Park... Truly beautiful... the sound of the water and falls... so soothing... The rain held up for us also. Even more blessings... Me Ke Aloha Pau 'Ole... May the Love be Everlasting.
