Tami Made our Vow Renewal Ceremony Perfect

Can't say enough about the special attention that I received from Tami and Geno in planning our 25th wedding vow renewal ceremony. She was so wonderful in helping us to select a special spot (Rainbow Falls) by providing several options to consider. Tami was very accommodating in helping me to recreate my original wedding colors of light pink/white by ensuring that my lei included little pink rosebuds. The ceremony was beautiful, meaningful and as an unexpected bonus, we were provided with a copy of the text (including the translation for the local chants). The pictures are absolutely fantastic. I would definitely recommend using Wedding Resource Hawaii to everyone!!!

Very personal and easy going couple

We wanted a simple private ceremony because we are an older couple. Kauakea kept in touch about the possible locations and dates until everything was set. On the day of the ceremony they met us and provided a very moving experience. It was very comfortable and Kauakea took photos and provided us with a flash drive so we could decide how we wanted to use them. Very reasonable cost and a lovely experience.

We decided to elope at the last minute, Tami and Geno made our dreams come true!!!

This was such a spiritual experience that money just can’t buy. The whole time of the ceremony I didn’t even notice Tami taking pictures at all. We were so locked into Geno and his words of love and wisdom. When Tami was singing it was like it came from the ocean winds of Hawaii. I am so thankful that we shared our lives with this amazing couple.

The Perfect Choice - Priceless Service

It's hard to find the right people for a job when you are trying to make arrangements long distance, I was on the verge of giving up since it seemed there were very few resources willing to take the trip to Hilo for our special occasion, a small 50th Wedding Anniversary Renewal service for our best friends. I was absolutely thrilled to find Tami and Gino at Wedding Resources through the Wedding Wire website. I was impressed by their quick responses to all my phone calls and questions! After leaving a message at their number, Tami called me right away from the airport upon her return from an overseas trip and actually answered the phone when I called from Kansas even though it was 6 am in Hawaii! They promptly created an extra special ceremony and incorporated Hawaiian customs that were perfect for the celebration. Added to the value of the package was having Tami take wonderful photographs of the entire event. These included beautiful pictures of all the aspects of the occasion - the beach ceremony, dinner and cutting of the cake at our rental house - to a picture of the moon that evening! They were worth the price for their excellent service, attention to detail and overall professionalism .
Trying to hire the right people long distance for an event is risky and can be a disaster but working with Tami and Gino?? - PRICELESS!

Kauakea has been photographing weddings in Hawaii for years and years. She has been the photographer for 3 weddings in my family. Geno has now joined Kuakea to perform the wedding vows and blessings, My husband and I wanted a private simple Hawaiian ceremony in a fern forest and they delivered. We both felt like it was exactly what we wanted. It was beautiful.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
