We are SO glad we chose Ben as our officiant. He made our ceremony feel special, calm and memorable. His personality was amazing and his presence instantly eased any nerves we had. He was fun and made the experience so meaningful. Don’t think twice if you’re planning your Hawaii wedding/elopement… book Ben!

If you are in the process of deciding on the perfect officiant for your Maui wedding/elopement… you MUST book with Pastor Ben Bryson. Here is why:

This man is extremely special and talented at what he does. Pastor Ben Bryson’s glowing testimonials are what convinced us that we needed him to officiate our ceremony.

He handled the beach permits, leis, and so much more. He also took the time to get to know us extensively, and after meeting him in person before the ceremony, I can truly tell you that he is a PLEASURE to be around. He is so kind, funny, outgoing, and highly professional.

My husband and I made the decision to elope with slightly heavy hearts, as we did not have our parents with us. We were nervous, but Pastor Ben Bryson made us feel like family was there. That is something so incredible and something we will always remember.

He calmed our nerves before the ceremony and made the entire experience so beautiful. His prayers are beautiful, and we truly felt the presence of God there with us. My husband, in particular, felt very emotional. We are in our early 20s (20 & 23), and Pastor Ben Bryson spoke to him like a father to a son, and he needed that. It was such a special moment.

So just imagine how wonderful your wedding will be with an officiant who can clearly connect with you, preach the Word, and make your day so incredibly special.

We also had to make last-minute arrangements due to weather conditions at our first location. Pastor Ben Bryson ensured that we had multiple backup plans and communicated everything to us in a timely manner. He made what could have been a stressful situation feel completely manageable.

His “Get Maui’d” package is so worth it, too. He supplies leis, permits, necessary insurance, assistance, a personalized ceremony, AND a photographer. We had Melissa as our photographer, and she was amazing as well.

We are so honored that he was part of our wedding day. I truly do not know what else to say other than: please, book with Pastor Ben Bryson. He is your guy!

Pastor Ben was amazing to work with. He was extremely helpful leading up to the day including suggesting changes to best accommodate a surprisingly windy day. He put me and my husband so at ease during our ceremony. I couldn’t imagine working with anyone better!

Pastor Ben was amazing from the first moment that we made contact with him online. He made this wedding the smoothest event that we’ve ever planned. He coordinated a wonderful photographer, made sure we had layers and the ceremony was beautiful like he known as our whole entire lives. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting an authentic local caring pastor to do their ceremony.

Ben was so easily approachable from the first time we got in contact with him! Since we weren’t from Maui, we truly appreciated Pastor Ben’s flexibility and his recommendations for our ceremony location. It made the whole experience so much easier and more special. Having him help arrange the photographer was also perfect and took a lot of stress off of us.
It meant so much that he took the time to get to know us and our story—it didn’t feel like a typical elopement, but rather an intimate ceremony that was exactly what we wanted. He is such a kind and genuine person. He also gave us great recommendations to help fill out the rest of our trip, which we really enjoyed. Thank you so much, Pastor Ben!

Pastor Ben officiated our elopement on Ironwood Beach. Prior to the wedding I was able to text Pastor Ben and receive a quick response at anytime with any questions we had. Pastor Ben made sure we had everything we needed and even offered to get us leis for the lei exchange. On our wedding day, Pastor Ben was very friendly, happy and it is clear he loves what he does. I appreciated that Pastor Ben has worked with our photographer before as well. He even tossed some floral petals for us while we were taking photos.

I would highly recommend Pastor Ben! He took time to personalize our ceremony, put together a wedding photographer for us and was a genuinely great person. We are so glad we went with him, he made our elopement easy and special!

From the first moment I met Ben I knew I made the right decision choosing him to marry my fiancée, my now husband, and I. He makes you feel like you’ve known him for years. I was nervous, afraid I would make a mistake during the ceremony, but Ben made it easy by taking us through the whole thing step by step. Side note, the photographer that I hired was not able to make to the ceremony. Ben offered to help us find a photographer last minute I’m assuming not part of his job description but the fact that he offered to help us find someone speaks volumes of the kind of person he is. Choose Ben as your officiant and you won’t regret it, promise!

First of all I wanted to say that from the moment we met Ben in person on the day of our elopement,he greeted us with a smile and immediately started cracking jokes and putting our minds at ease. Getting married in a state so far from home sounded scary,but even without ever meeting Ben beforehand,he made the process fun and so carefree. We got to know Ben through email,where he asked very engaging questions and took the time to get to know us as a couple before we came to Maui. Our original officiant fell through just 2 months before our wedding day. With the help of our elopement planner and Ben, they truly saved the day and we believe finding Ben happened for a reason. He was a huge part in making the day magical and it truly felt like he cared about taking part of such a huge moment in our lives.

Ben was super easy to work and communicate with. He was very intentional and personable, and effortlessly incorporated specific details from our story into the ceremony. He brought such a genuine, kind, and powerful energy and we appreciated all of the wisdom he imparted to us during the ceremony. I cannot recommend him enough, thank you Ben!
