Wedding Officiant in Kailua Kona

Ceremony was very special, Dard and Penei were great. Planning ceremony was a little more stressful. Penei kept forgetting the time of ceremony. However, on the actual day they were wonderful!

We were so thankful to have Elizabeth as the officiant at our wedding. She brings such a peaceful, loving spirit with her and she made our big day so special. Elizabeth goes above and beyond to craft a perfect ceremony that fits the couple's vision. We were so glad she was a part of our big day! Thank you so much Elizabeth!

Judith Leong officiated our wedding at Kukio beach on Hawaii recently in September and she couldn't have helped make the experience more perfect. I found Judith's name online by searching Big Island wedding officiants and was impressed by her warm and welcoming style. Many officiants seemed to describe their services in rich, flowery prose, but Judith seemed more authentic and real - an impression that would later be confirmed upon meeting her in person. Upon confirming the details with her and getting our date set, Judith helpfully provided a lot of guidance to make the ceremony exactly as we envisioned it, sending sample scripts, blessings, readings, and outlines to give us the flexibility to have a totally customized ceremony. Arriving in Hawaii, I met her for the first time in person. She was perfect. I was charmed, relieved, and humbled. Not only had a met someone who was smart and funny, but I also reflected on how lucky we would be to be married by her. Judith speaks warmly and is a great conversationalist making people feel included and interested. On the day of our ceremony, Judith arrived early to make sure any last details were accounted for and to get us prepared. She spoke the words of our ceremony - prepared weeks before back home in Canada - in such a disarming way that I felt immediately at ease. Being surrounded by the natural beauty in Hawaii is deeply emotive. Judith honored the specialness of the place in her delivery with a calm pace and clear tone, in both English and Hawaiian. She looked beautiful and had everything arranged for the lei exchange, ring exchange, ti-leaf blessing, and a unique contribution from my partner and I - a rock-throwing ritual into the ocean! We met Judith one last time before we left the island and I got the distinct impression that we'd met someone special. For me and my husband, Judith would always personify the positive outlook and optimism of beginning a new life together as a married couple.

Reverend Terry was an absolute joy to work with and have officiate our wedding. It was a ceremony for just me and my husband in the early morning of my 50th birthday. It was very romantic and personal which is what we wanted. Reverend Terry was efficient and effective and we recieved our "temporary Marriage Certificate" almost immediately. She took care of everything and made the whole process very enjoyable. Thank you so much!!! We're both glad we met you!!! Henry and Kim

We booked Rowena fairly last minute as our original officiant had to suddenly cancel. Well, we’re glad we did because she was amazing! We spoke with her on the phone in advance so she could get to know us and we got a great vibe from her. She also asked for our love story in advance, which we appreciated. We really wanted to have at last some Hawaiian cultural traditions as part of our ceremony, and Rowena did a great job of explaining these traditions to us. She also provided a great idea on how to incorporate our families into the ceremony. On the day of the wedding, Rowena blessed everyone in the wedding party moments before the ceremony, calming everyone’s nerves. During the ceremony, though she spoke softly, everything she said was beautiful and brought tears to everyone’s eyes. When the wind knocked over the table with the water she was going to use to bless our rings, she didn’t skip a beat. Afterward, she stayed and spoke with a number of our guests, which they told us they appreciated. We would highly recommend her to anyone getting married on the Big Island!

Ajani and Sophorn made our wedding the most memorable experience ever. It was an event that fitted us both so well, just us together, we were made to feel the most important people in the world, by two individuals who focused entirely on us, and us alone. The setting, the ceremony, everything was faultless.

A truly beautiful, unique ceremony which connected nature, beliefs, vows with our beautiful surroundings in perfect harmony. We will always be grateful to Stephanie for giving us our dream ceremony. Stephanie’s energy kept me calm, grounded, present, reflectful and connected to the most amazing moment in time. Several of the wedding guests asked for copies of the ceremony. Her words touched everyone’s heart and soul.

Where do I start? First off? Karen & Lev are amazing at what they do! I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. I was so apprehensive about eloping and putting all my trust in someone to do everything for us on our special day and I am soooooo glad I chose to hire Karen and Lev for our ceremony and photography/videography. Everything was perfect and I didn’t have to worry about a thing, and this is a must when planning a destination wedding!! Karen answered all my questions and was very informative about everything which really put my mind at ease. I definitely would recommend them a thousand times over! If you want a someone you can trust with your special day, look no further! Thank you again for truly making our big day special!

We got married in Hawaii in October 2024, and Mike Eicher was absolutely amazing. He was professional, brought the perfect touch of humor, and made our ceremony incredibly meaningful and personal. We still remember it so fondly. If you’re getting married in Hawaii, Mike is truly the best officiant. Highly recommend!
