Becky Ringler at Simple Kona Beach Weddings made our dream wedding in Kona, Hawaii, an absolute reality! From our first Zoom call to the final moments of our ceremony, Becky’s professionalism, attention to detail, and warm personality made the entire process seamless and unforgettable. Throughout the year, she collaborated with us via Zoom and email, providing a curated list of top-notch service providers, including an incredible hair and makeup team, a talented photographer, and a baker who delivered a stunningly delicious cake that our guests raved about. Every vendor was prompt, professional, and perfectly aligned with our vision.

Becky’s elegant and tasteful wedding format was a perfect fit for the island setting, and her meticulous planning ensured everything ran smoothly. She even arranged a hassle-free appointment for our marriage license right after we landed, making the process effortless. On the day of, all we had to do was show up with big smiles. Becky handled every detail flawlessly. Her husband was a gem, capturing candid photos and recording our ceremony on my husband’s phone, giving us a cherished keepsake while the professional photographer worked her magic. The flowers were breathtaking, exactly what we envisioned.

Becky’s warmth, organization, and dedication made our wedding day not only stress-free but also deeply special and memorable. We cannot recommend Becky and Simple Kona Beach Weddings enough. She is truly exceptional!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Becky. Truly, there are not enough superlatives to describe how exceptional she was. She planned our beach ceremony on the Kona side of the Big Island with barely five days’ notice, and somehow made the entire experience feel effortless, calm, intimate, and incredibly special from beginning to end. Throughout the process, Becky was warm, responsive, communicative, efficient, capable, supportive, and endlessly reassuring. From our very first conversations, she made us feel less like clients and more like family. She immediately put us at ease and took all of the stress and uncertainty out of planning a wedding on such short notice. What could have felt overwhelming instead felt peaceful, joyful, and exciting because of her guidance and care. Becky handled every detail seamlessly — including selecting the perfect beach location and photographer (thank you, Matt!) — and officiated the ceremony herself with such warmth, sincerity, and heart. She thoughtfully incorporated Hawaiian elements into the ceremony that added real depth, meaning, and beauty to the experience, including a beautiful lei ceremony with gorgeous plumeria leis that made the evening feel even more meaningful and unforgettable. She also timed the ceremony perfectly for sunset, creating the most breathtaking setting imaginable and resulting in absolutely gorgeous photographs that we will treasure forever. The entire evening was magical, intimate, beautiful, and absolutely perfect. We are so grateful to Becky for giving us the gift of peaceful preparation, for taking away the worry, and for creating such a memorable and deeply meaningful wedding day. We will always remember Becky with gratitude and affection, and the day with the most perfect joy. Thank you, Becky!

Working with Becky was hands-down the best decision we made for our wedding. Since we had never been to the island, we were naturally a bit nervous, but Becky’s local expertise and endless recommendations put us at ease immediately. It was also the first time visiting for our entire family, and they were absolutely stunned by how beautiful and seamless everything was; they haven't stopped talking about how much they enjoyed the celebration. Becky is an absolute pro—incredibly responsive, organized, and proactive. She checked in constantly to ensure every detail was perfect before, during, and even after the ceremony. We felt completely taken care of and could actually enjoy our day because we trusted her so much. A special shoutout to her husband, too, who was amazing support and captured so many great shots on our phones for us! If you want the best experience possible, hire Becky. You will not be disappointed!

From start to finish, Becky planned, reassured, and was so professional. We spoke with her twice before, she knew a bit about us, had suggestions for flowers, ceremony, locations etc. The day of our ceremony she and her husband photographer, met us at the beach at Four Seasons. The actual ceremony was emotional, had Hawaiian meaningful words and rituals that meant so much to us. Great photos too. We feel like we got so lucky choosing Becky and Simple Kona Beach Weddings.

We would highly recommend simple kona beach Weddings.

Before my wife (YAY!) and I drove away from Kukio Beach parking lot where we were married, I said, "That was so much fun we have to do it again!!" LOL! In all seriousness though, we could not have had a more perfect wedding. And the best part was how effortless Becky with Simple Kona Beach Weddings made it look. From the most beautiful location, permits, marriage license meeting, and dinner reservations, to the flowers, Ukulele music by Ali'i and professional photography (These photos are just the ones her husband Matt took with my iPhone -and they are AMAZING - we can't wait to get Karen's photos!) our wedding could not have been more filled with ease, joy, laughter, deep heartfelt spirit and love. Such a wonderful combination that we truly know we gained friends for a lifetime!

It is rare to feel so comfortable around people you just met. Jenn and I were celebrated and held in the most beautiful way during Becky's officiating, that we truly felt incredible ease on our big day. To feel so comfortable expressing ourselves to the deepest level with people you just met, is rare and so very precious. Thank you Simple Kona Beach Weddings... We'd give you 10 stars if we could.

My husband and I renewed our vows with Becky at Simple Kona Beach Weddings in July 2025. I had originally looked into doing it all myself (researching beaches and completing paper work for the appropriate beach permits, finding someone qualified to perform the ceremony, finding a place for a celebration afterwards etc.) I quickly realised that this was a very overwhelming task, especially because we were planning it from the UK and the time difference is 12 hours! Becky totally took the stress out of this for me, so that I could concentrate on all the nice things to do with our vow renewal. During our initial video chat in February she really took the time to get to know us and we talked about the reasons we wanted to renew our vows along all of the elements we hoped to include. She then created a totally individual ceremony for us. We had some pretty specific requirements which were all incorporated on the day as well as all of the traditional Hawaiian elements which were woven together so perfectly. In the lead up to the ceremony, we were very unsure as to the amount of people that would be there on the day and we were also undecided on some things until a few days before, but there was never any pressure from Becky to make these decisions on the spot. She understood our situation and made the whole process very easy, relaxed and simple. The ceremony itself was very special and the location that was suggested was stunning. The words Becky had written for the ceremony were beautiful and Matt (Becky’s husband) took A LOT of photos on my phone. Many of them looked really professional. This allowed our guests just to enjoy themselves rather than having the pressure to get the perfect picture. Becky and Matt are both very warm and friendly people and we felt at ease with them immediately when we met them in person just before the ceremony. (Becky did say she would be willing to meet us the day before if we wanted to but we had enough confidence in her from previous email and phone interactions that all would be okay.) They have both lived on the Island for a long time and they know all the best spots. Becky not only planned and conducted our vow renewal, she also played a big part in organising our post renewal celebration. She made excellent recommendations based on our budget and the kind of atmosphere we were looking for. She emailed vendors for us to make introductions and any question we asked, she had an answer for. And we certainly had a lot of questions! Becky also made lots of other recommendations for trips we should consider, places we should visit on The Big Island and the best ways to organise excursions. A lot of these trips made our visit to the Big Island extra special. I would wholeheartedly recommend Simple Kona Beach Weddings for anyone considering renewing their wedding vows in Hawaii. It was a wonderful celebration of love in the perfect location and we had an incredible holiday. Thank you Becky for such great organisation beforehand and for playing such an important part in our very special day. Katie and Luke Smith x

We cannot say enough good things about Becky. She helped us with my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary vow renewal and it was beyond what we imagined. Her professionalism, responsiveness, wonderful recommendations, and insight on venues in Kona were outstanding. She made this special occasion a day we will never forget. She has our highest recommendation.

A dream come true!!!
When my husband and I married 23.5 years ago, we just had a ceremony. We were in Hawaii to celebrate our daughter's graduation and Becky helped me plan the most wonderful surprise vow renewal. She took care of all the details on the island and was very responsive on any questions. Her recommendations were spot on. I had a conference call with her as the first step. She took the time to understand us and what I envisioned and then planned everything for us, but always getting feedback to make sure the choices aligned with what I wanted/envisioned. The results were beyond all expectations!!! She even helped coordinate a cake to be made at our dinner location after the event. Her personality and experience and professionalism will give you the ceremony you have always dreamed of. Matt was awesome at capturing all the moments of the ceremony and after. The Hawaiian elements added to the ceremony made this extra special for us. I cannot say enough great and positive things about Becky and Matt! If you want a low stress ceremony of your dreams, then choosing Simple Kona Beach Weddings is the route to go. :)

We had the best experience with Becky and her husband Matt for our Kona wedding. Becky is so sweet and listened to exactly what we wanted with our family for our big day. She assisted with every part of the process and answers any and all questions we had along the way. She prepared an absolutely beautiful wedding for us on the beach. Matt took the best photo’s for us as well. I could not have asked for more. I just want to say Thank You both so much for everything. And if you are searching for an excellent wedding planner Becky is the best.
