About this vendor

At Kahiko Traditions, couples experience a ceremony that is joyful, meaningful, and rooted in the Hawaiian spirit of Aloha. As a Kumu Aloha (Hawaiian minister), Kekoa(Koa) creates custom love-story ceremonies that weave each couple’s journey together with sacred Hawaiian blessings, chants, and rituals passed down through generations.

Specializing in Hawaiian wedding ceremonies, Koa brings genuine warmth, authenticity, and a deep understanding of Hawaiian customs and traditions to every celebration. Each ceremony is crafted to reflect the couple’s unique love story, creating an experience that is deeply personal, engaging, and unforgettable.

Many couples tell me their ceremony became the most memorable part of their wedding — a moment where laughter, love, and culture come together in a way their guests have never experienced before.

Every ceremony includes:

• A custom written love-story script
• Hawaiian blessings (Oli / Mele / Pule)
• Traditional Ti Leaf Lei handfasting ritual - Pili ā Naʻi Kealoha
• Ceremony planning workshop with your Kumu Aloha

Most couples invest $1500–$2100 depending on the ceremony experience they choose.

I would love to talk-story with you and hear about your love journey.

Koa’s personal touches greatly improved the vision that we had for our ceremony and we would not have had such a perfect day without him! 10/5 recommend! Mahalo Koa! – Mr. & Mrs. Masterman.

A Magical Wedding

I am beyond pleased, to give Koa and Kahiko Traditions my highest recommendation. My now wife has the fondest memories of Hawaii from when she was a child. It holds a special place in her heart. Koa brought it all together and helped create an absolutely phenomenal ceremony with these marvelous island flavor, respectful, spiritual.

We and our guests were blown away. We sat down with Koa and had a great conversation prior to, he listened to our story and created a love narrative so precise, it was as though he's known us all our lives. It was quite impressive. The ceremony was so unique, incredibly inviting and intimate and warm. It seemed to draw everyone in and made the day even more special. Truly memorable.

Perfect fit!!

Koa was the perfect fit for our ceremony. He made everything so much easier from start to finish, helping me plan things I didn’t even realize I needed. We felt so comfortable through the process, and felt like he really helped us enjoy the experience even more. I would 10/10 recommend Kahiko Traditions !!

An officiant who truly captures who you are

Kahiko Traditions went above and beyond our expectations. We cannot thank Kekoa enough for supporting us the entire week leading up to our wedding. We got so many compliments about the ceremony and how special it was. He really captured the importance of our families being the foundation of us as a couple, how we've grown throughout our relationship, and highlighted our love of travel + experiencing different cultures. If you’re looking for an officiant who will take the time to get to know you to personalize your ceremony, Kahiko Traditions is it!
