We love Joseph!

Joseph is awesome! When we first started looking for officiants, Joseph stood out to us because of his care, attention to detail, and eagerness. He connected us with a fantastic photographer as well! Even within our short time frame, Joseph took the time and effort to really get to know us as a couple and really make our ceremony special. We highly recommend Joseph if you are looking to get married in Maui!

The perfect officiant!

Joseph was such a joy to work with. Even though we were planning our elopement from across the country in South Carolina, he made it feel as personal as possible. He spoke to us on the phone, had us fill out a questionnaire and really got to know us before he wrote our ceremony. The ceremony felt like it fit us so perfectly. When we made it to Hawaii, Joseph insisted we meet him for coffee before the big day and I am so glad we did. Not only is he kind and an amazing officiant but also a wealth of knowledge about Maui. When we walked on the beach for our ceremony it felt like we were there with a friend because Joseph made us so comfortable. Thank you Joseph! We owe you a visit next time we are in Maui.

We love Joseph!

Though we decided to do a destination wedding, it was still important for us to have Jewish traditions in our ceremony. Joseph was able to help us with this and ensured that all of the our traditions were included. He was very knowledgeable about Judaism, the traditions and even taught us a lot! What was most special about Joseph and our experience is that he really wanted to get to know us. He took his time and had several at-length conversations with us over the phone. This allowed him to make our ceremony so special and personalized. He also met with us the day prior to our ceremony and even offered to meet with us before we left the island. He takes the couples that he weds very seriously and wants to keep a close relationship with them. He is truly one of a kind. Our family and friends had such great things to say about the ceremony that he created for us. Thank you Joseph!

Professional And Personal

We considered several options on different websites looking for an officiant in Maui at the end of February. After talking with Joseph we learned that he was the most personal and had very much respect for the act of marriage and very respectful for our special day. We were able to easily communicate with Joseph, we knew what we were paying for and thought value compared to other options was top notch. Joseph is a good man, we very happy with him and his service.

A Wonderful Experience!

We had a wonderful experience working with Joseph and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant here on Maui. We loved Joseph's collaborative approach to the ceremony and enjoyed the ability to really personalize it to fit who we are and what we wanted. We were looking for a light-hearted ceremony that incorporated elements of the Jewish tradition while staying away from it feeling overly religious. Joseph struck a perfect balance and delivered a ceremony that was everything we could have hoped for. Joseph was an absolute pleasure to work with and after our experience, we consider him a dear friend.

Wonderful Experience, Thank you!

Joseph was exactly what we were hoping for as the officiant for our wedding. He was so personable and make it so easy for us. We wanted a short and simple ceremony as it was just the two of us and the vows and ceremony he wrote was perfect. We asked him to choose the beach and to recommend a photographer and he was so helpful and kind. Highly recommended!

Wonderful, Perfect, Amazing

We cannot say enough about how easy and wonderful it was working with Joseph. He gave us the ceremony we dreamed of and we would recommend him to anyone wishing to get married.

We decided to get married about a month before our vacation to Maui, thinking it would be an amazing place to have our ceremony. Having never been to Hawaii, and knowing nobody on the island, we started looking into the process and at possible officiants. What stood out about Joseph was not only that he performed ceremonies large and small, but he was one of the very few that wasn’t trying to “sell” you something. Most places offered wedding packages, which wasn’t what we were looking for. As it would only be the two of us, we wanted a simple ceremony on the beach. Not only did Joseph deliver on what we wanted, he made it easy every step of the way. Starting with our first conversation, Joseph was solely focused on what we wanted, and gave us a ceremony that was personal and tailored to us. Simply, we could not have dreamed of a more perfect ceremony.

So, if you are looking to get married on Maui, reach out to Joseph. We are confident he will give you the wedding of your dreams.
