Beautiful memories!

John and I had a beautiful wedding experience with Karen. Karen contacted us shortly after we submitted our request and was able to schedule a ceremony within our short time-frame. She addressed all of the questions we had with friendliness and professionalism and was able to recommend a venue and flowers. Everything came together in such a magical way, John and I could not have been more pleased. The weather cooperated, the beach was gorgeous, the timing was perfect, the ceremony was beautiful. Karen performed the ceremony in a personal way that made us feel so special. Kenny sang and played ukulele and his performance was also personal and so special. We have memories and beautiful photos that will last a lifetime. We feel blessed beyond belief and we are so very thankful to Karen and Kenny. Our wedding ceremony, as simple as it was, was perfect for us! We could not have planned it better if we had spent a year planning! Mahalo for the happiness you have brought us and for being part of our special day.

25th Anniversary Vow Renewal Jan 24, 2023

Kevin guided us to select the options that would suit our needs and expectations. It was a delight to work with him and to select Glen, one of the professional photographers that coordinated with Kevin. We had an amazing day!

The perfect elopement!

My husband and I got married by Kevin early in December and it was the perfect way for us to get eloped and married. We wouldn't have it any other way. He was extremely easy to work with and walked us through what we needed to do before the ceremony. He was also very organized and everything ran smoothly. Kukio was a gorgeous beach and we wouldn't have wanted to get married any other way. Thank you Kevin for making that such a special day for both of us. We loved the leis and the special and symbolic keepsake which we have displayed in our home. We highly recommend Kevin as an officiant.
