Dreamy Hawaiian style wedding
We were lucky to work with Kawena and her talented and sweet crew - ukulele player, videographer, and photographer. Our little wedding on the beach could not have been more perfect with the gentle ukulele playing and Kawena's beautiful voice and meaningful and powerful words, incorporating melodious Hawaiian chants and vows. The videographer and photographer captured every moment and presented them so celestially. Because of COVID, we had a small, intimate ceremony, but were able to share our momentous day with our loved ones with the video and photos. I cannot recommend Kahiapo Talent more, so thankful for their professional, thoughtful, and talented services.

Perfect Local Wedding
Our north shore dream wedding was realized with the help of amazing Kawena and her Kahiapo Talent crew. It was perfect and Kawena was able to match everything perfectly to our requests for flowers, music, etc. The ceremony itself was beyond my imagination it was truly touching and a memory we will remember forever. Thank you so much, Kawena for being there with us on this special day!

Absolutely Wonderful Officiant
Kawena's participation in our wedding made the event unforgettable. All of our guests were left speechless after she officiated the ceremony. It was a magical experience that our guests still speak of to this day. Without Kawena's help and guidance during the event, our wedding could have easily become run-of-the-mill. But Kawena heightened the experience, made it enchanting and ethereal. We cannot express enough how delighted we were to have her as our officiant. If you're looking for a unique wedding experience that will be impossible to forget, look no further than Kawena Opunui. She will make your "special day" the magical event it deserves to be.

Wonderful Blessing Ceremony
What can we say? Kawena and the photographer she arranged for our Hawaiian blessing ceremony were truly amazing. Kawena was easy to reach, flexible with the details, reasonably priced, and went above and beyond to make this surprise for my fiancé such a special day. She also has a beautiful voice. Literally chills! We cannot thank Kawena and Megan enough for such a beautiful experience!!!!!

Beautiful Ceremony loved by all
We initially booked with Kawena before covid, and she was incredibly gracious with our numerous postponements. When the big day finally came, she did not disappoint. Her calming presence and patience made her our ideal officiant. Our guests raved about how unique and spiritual our ceremony was. We were able to be in the moment, and she brought our love out in such a beautiful way. You will not be disappointed if you book with Kawena. Good luck on your wedding journey!

Amazing experience, did not break the bank!!
Kawena and her team provided an incredibly spiritual, pure, and beautiful ceremony for my wife and me. We went with her as the officiant, ukulele player, and marriage license package.
The marriage license package allowed us to do everything virtually, no driving downtown, no long lines, just a 5-minute conversation with her associate! I think it was really cheap too so it was definitely worth it!
The ukulele player was FANTASTIC. He played beautifully and was very charismatic, they also did something for us "in the moment" that made the day extra special.
Kawena did the ceremony, and she brought the essence of Hawaii. She sang, offered advice for the day, eased anxiety, and had an amazing voice. We are so thrilled we went with Kahiopo talent and we wouldn't change a thing!
