We got married in Hawaii in October 2024, and Mike Eicher was absolutely amazing. He was professional, brought the perfect touch of humor, and made our ceremony incredibly meaningful and personal. We still remember it so fondly. If you’re getting married in Hawaii, Mike is truly the best officiant. Highly recommend!

I cannot express enough how utterly thrilled my husband and I are with Mike as our wedding officiant. From the moment we met him, we knew we were in good hands. Mike not only conducted our ceremony flawlessly but added an unparalleled level of joy and charm to our special day.

Mike's ability to infuse humor into our ceremony at just the right moments was pure magic. He had our guests laughing and smiling from start to finish, creating an atmosphere of warmth and celebration that we'll cherish forever.

What truly set Mike apart, however, was his flexibility to make sure every ceremony is as unique as the couple. For us, that meant an incorporation of traditional Hawaiian elements into our ceremony. The sharing of aloha, the lei exchange, and the ring blessing added such depth and meaning to our vows. It was a beautiful homage to the culture and spirit of Hawaii, and we couldn't have asked for a more authentic experience.

And let's talk about those bonus points! Mike being married to our wedding photographer was an absolute game-changer. He knows exactly how to position himself and us throughout the ceremony, working seamlessly with any photographer to capture the most stunning moments. Our wedding album is truly a work of art, thanks in part to Mike's insider knowledge.

In short, Mike exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding officiant and then some. He brought laughter, love, and a touch of aloha to our ceremony, making it an unforgettable experience for us and all of our guests. If you're looking for someone to make your big day absolutely incredible, look no further than Mike. Trust me, you won't regret it.

Big Island officiant Mike, Thank you so much for sharing our day with us and we mean sharing because it didn’t just feel like a person reading words from a paper to us, we felt Mikes genuine happiness for us and to be marrying us. Mike welcomed us with the biggest smile that day and his smile continued throughout the ceremony. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect officiant. I don’t know why it took me so long to write this review, but even after this long I’m still so happy for the experience.

Thank you!

Mike was wonderful and the best officiant my husband and I could have asked for. He was thoughtful, well spoken and wonderfully incorporated traditional wedding ceremony rituals with some Hawaiian touches, such as cleansing the rings in the oceanwater and the lei exchange. Mike was responsive, fun to work with and very professional- if you are having a Hawaiian destination wedding or are local to Hawaii, I could not recommend Mike more!

Mike is the best officiant ever! He is responsive and easy to work with. Offering suggestions and open to changes. He'll tailor the ceremony to exactly how you want it.

We were trying to plan a wedding from Utah in Hawaii during the pandemic. He made us feel calm and heard! We didn’t have to worry about anything. He was amazing during the ceremony and made it feel so personal! Definitely recommend getting him and his wife, they work so well together which is truly a blessing!

Michael Eicher was an absolutely amazing Officiant for our wedding! He brought the Hawaiian element I wanted and it made me and my husband very emotional. Thanks Mike for making this the best day ever!! You are awesome. Cathy Keno (Kelly)

Planning a destination wedding under normal circumstances can be challenging but in the midst of a pandemic can be a logistical nightmare! Dawn with Pink Pineapple Weddings and her husband Mike with Big Island Officiant put our concerns to rest and made planning our big day a seamless and easy process!

My husband Cody and I married on 12/5/2020 in a private ceremony on Ironwoods Beach in Maui. We had a vision of what we wanted our wedding day and post celebrations to look like but needed help working out some of the details. We were engaged in July 2020 and figured why wait? Let’s run off to a warm, tropical beach and get married in December! This didn’t leave us a lot of time to plan. We decided to retreat to Maui, just the two of us, and invite friends and family to attend our ceremony virtually through a livestream. I shared some ideas and concepts with Dawn and she ran with them! She partnered with local vendors to ensure that our flowers, leis, hair and makeup, cake, etc. were exactly what we wanted and fit into our budget. Dawn and her husband Mike (our wedding officiant- Bigislandofficiant.com)were so helpful. They kept us informed with the ever-changing COVID travel restrictions and requirements. We successfully arrived in Maui a few days before our wedding was to take place. Mike and Dawn met us to scout beaches for our ceremony and firm up last minute details. We had so much fun!

A few days later, our day was finally here! From getting ready to exchanging “I do’s”, our day could not have been more perfect! Our ceremony was beautiful and went off without a hitch! The photoshoot following was a blast! We rented a 57’ Porsche Roadster to use in our pictures and to drive to dinner. Dawn took so many pictures making sure to document all of our special moments. We went to dinner at Merriman’s (one of Dawn’s recommendations). We enjoyed a delicious celebratory dinner and toasted with Liliko’i Mai Tai’s to our forever!

The next morning we met Dawn and Mike for our “final plunge/trash the dress” photoshoot at Black Rock. What better way to solidify our vows and commitment to each other than to take a 30’ leap off of a giant lava rock?! Dawn snapped away, capturing our adventure while Mike cheered us on and made sure our phone/video camera was rolling! So fun and exhilarating!!!!

Our wedding weekend (ceremony, post celebrations, and jump) was absolutely amazing! Dawn was quick to get us “sneak peeks” of the pictures she had taken on our wedding day and of our jump at Black Rock so that we had them to share with friends and family right away! Within just a few weeks, Dawn emailed the remainder of our professionally edited photos. They are stunning and we couldn’t be happier with her work! She is so creative and detail oriented that she didn’t miss a thing! We are so grateful to have shared our wedding weekend with Dawn and Mike. They made our whole experience so wonderful! They are both delightful people and a pleasure to work with and be around. Mike is an absolute character with a great sense of humor! He is sure to keep you laughing! Dawn is fun, organized, and very helpful. She will make sure things are getting done as planned. She will run interference with vendors and prevent unwanted, stressful wedding day issues. We loved spending time with them!

If you are looking for a solid, professional, knowledgeable, experienced wedding planner and officiant, look no further! Mike and Dawn are such a dynamic duo. You won’t be disappointed! Together they will help you plan and make your special day unforgettable and everything you want it to be!

Forever fans,
Courtney & Cody Perkowitz

Mike was born to do this job! His voice and projection is perfect for any venue. I interviewed multiple officiates, but Mike was the best. Mike had amazing and kind words already prepared and even asked us if we wanted to add anything extra. What he added came natural to him. We will continue to recommend Mike to anyone that needs a wedding officiated!

Okay, we all want to do the whole get married in Hawaii thing. However it is overwhelming. If you are eloping, destination wedding, or spur of the moment it is stressful. So I did what any person would've done, went to google to see who could help me plan this special day. I spoke to multiple wedding planners, I almost went with another one, but Pink Pineapple Weddings was the best one in all of Hawaii, let me tell you why.

Dawn and Mike are fully transparent, they helped me plan things and didn't over charge me for items so they could take a cut. Instead they were completely transparent about the prices for flowers, cake, equipment and the musician etc. Instead of the cake costing 300 and they charging me 320, and pocketing the 20, they charged me 300. I have never worked with such transparent people, ever.

Dawn is 100% honest. I wanted to get married in a specific place, and she flat out was like I am not sure if you want to get your dress dirty, deal with the tourists etc. Each decision we made was calculated, and not made in order for them to make a quick buck.

She helped me plan everything, we supported local businesses, and each vendor I worked with she recommend (although I didn't have to use her vendor if I didn't want to) was amazing and reasonably priced.

Her packages are more than fair and in my opinion are underpriced. Her photography and organization, paired with her Husband's dedication and amazing officiant qualities, makes Pink Pineapple Weddings the place to choose to plan your wedding.

I am just now receiving my pictures from the wedding. I am having multiple friends and family members telling me that these are the most beautiful pictures they have ever seen in their entire lives. Dawn has a true talent with photography and wedding planning. Mike knows how to make each ceremony unique and beautiful. I have never looked at a picture and re-lived the moment like this. Every picture Dawn has sent me, I genuinely re-live the moment in each swipe to the left within the album. You only get married once, thus you should pick the best wedding planner once to do this correctly the first time.

Pink Pineapple Weddings answered all of my ridiculous, annoying questions no matter the time change, or time of the day. Dawn and Mike washed away all my anxiety and really made this day special and possible. I am beyond grateful for this business for Dawn and Mike! Thanks again!
