    Kuahiwi is fantastic! He was able to officiate our small wedding ceremony within a few days' notice, and was very knowledgeable about the marriage laws on the island, answering all of our questions thoroughly. We wanted a traditional Hawaiian ceremony with a lei exchange, and his delivery went above and beyond our expectations. He wore the traditional Hawaiian attire and started the ceremony with a conch shell blowing and Hawaiian song - he has a lovely voice! The verses were in the Hawaiian language, which he also translated in English, and were written beautifully. Overall, Kuahiwi delivered the intimate wedding ceremony of our dreams!

    Kuahiwi has made our wedding a dream come true! We were looking to have a simple Hawaiian wedding and he went far and beyond our expectations. Because we now live in Vegas, I thought planning our wedding back home (Hawaii) would be difficult...not so! Kuahiwi responded quickly to my questions etc. So if you're looking to have a Hawaiian wedding, a same-sex wedding, or whatever your dream wedding may be, call Kuahiwi first you'll be suprise how reasonable his service is. Mahalo nui loa Kuahiwi for taking part in our special event! Thomas

    Kahu Jon made our wedding so memorable and amazing. The Hawaiian wedding traditions was so nice to hear about in the ceremony and we enjoyed every bit of the history. Our wedding party also felt that the ceremony was so special and amazing. We enjoyed the full package and would really recommend it! Just a perfect day.

    DO NOT hesitate when considering Kahu Jon. Kuahiwi Moniz for your wedding!! My wife was literally in tears with how special he made our ceremony, and how perfect he made our wedding!! The perfect balance of Hawaiian culture, with modern ceremony. Looking back, I could not imagine using anyone BUT him! It was actually magical and a part of my life I will never forget, made even more memorable by his services! My only regret is I could not give him more stars!! Mahalo nui Jon!!

    If you are planning a destination Hawaiian wedding Kahu Jon is the man to hire!! He is very professional, responds quick to emails and questions, very personable, and he makes the ceremony fun! There's Hawaiian chants, blowing of the conch, he wears the the Hawaiian attire. Very prompt when filing the marriage license. Overall I would recommend Kahu Jon to anyone who is looking for an officiant.

    Kahu Jon helped make our wedding that much more special as he brought passion and enthusiasm to our ceremony as our officiant. My fiance and I were born and raised in Hawaii, but we now live near the Bay Area. We wanted to have our ceremony and reception back home, but wanted our visiting mainland guests to experience something unique to Hawaii. Kahu Jon was very fun and easy to work with. We had the opportunity to speak with him over the phone for a good half-hour to get to know more of his services and how he conducts his ceremonies. From that conversation, we learned how much officiating weddings meant to him as officiating is a part of his family's background, as well as the passion he has about sharing his Hawaiian culture and traditions to all locals and non-locals. The prices for his services are very, very reasonable, so we went with the full Royal Hawaiian Wedding package which included blowing of the "pu" (conch shell) and the traditional lei ceremony. My wife is full Japanese and I am full Filipino and for the most part, our families do not have any native Hawaiian blood; however, speak with them after the ceremony, everyone truly liked his performance as they got to experience something definitely different from your typical ceremony. In all, we highly recommend Kahu Jon to anyone who wants to get married on Oahu and is looking for a native Hawaiian officiant who can make your special day even more memorable.

    Everyone commented on how wonderful the ceremony was. Jon was professional and had a great mix of humour and sincerity. Would recommend to anyone looking for a more Hawaiian-feeling ceremony.

    Kahu Kuahiwi was easily the best part of our wedding.

    He carefully customized the perfect ceremony making it thoughtful, personal, and incorporated both of our backgrounds to fit our needs.

    We are still getting compliments from our guests.

    I couldn't recommend him more highly!

    Kahu Jon Kuahiwi did an awesome job at officiating at my wedding that I knew I wanted him to officiate my vow renewal. His ceremony incorporates the Hawaiian culture, and since we had out of town guests attend the vow renewal, I wanted them to experience it; they did and they were blown away by it. From his attire, the chant, conch shell, it's definitely a Hawaiian wedding experience.

    There is no better place in the world to get married than Hawaii!!! I am from Ohio and planned my wedding in Hawaii from thousands of miles away. I own a wedding planning business and am very particular and a hard critic of the wedding world, so I researched many different individuals on many different sites to try and find the right person to be our officiant. Not having met the person that is going to marry you is a little concerning, but the moment I spoke with Kahu Jon on the phone I knew he was the right choice.
    Jon was warm, welcoming and absolutely wonderful! He brought the Aloha spirit and the love of the islands into our ceremony. Besides marrying my best friend, Jon was the best part of my wedding!!! He was kind, patient, funny and treated us all like ohana! The way he performed the Hawaiian ceremony and all the little details was so much more than I could have imagined. It was absolutely perfect and Jon is the only one who could have made it that way!!! I highly recommend him. I will use him when we renew our vows in 10 years or so :)

    Mahalo Jon for everything!!!

    We could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding. Kuahiwi was extremely professional and easy to communicate with prior to the wedding. As far as the ceremony goes, it took our breaths away and was better than we could have ever imagined. He really set the tone for a dream wedding and I'd recommend him to any and everyone!

    Mr. Jon Kuahiwi is an awesome officiant! He not only brought together the life of my wife and I. But, everything was on point, he was real flexible with meeting us. The most amazing part was the way he carried out our ceremony. He was real fluent, bold, and brought culture all at once! Maka'i and mahalo!

    Mahalo Kahu Jon for giving us a memorable ceremony! We all loved the Hawaiian traditions and chanting you brought to the ceremony. We are blessed and thankful you were available to be a part of our special day.

    Kahu Jon was very easy to work with and very responsive. Our family is still talking about how great Kahu Jon was!

    We could not of been happier with the service we received from Jonathon. He captured everything we dreamed of in our ceremony, and nothing was too much trouble. I would strongly recommend Jonathon to anyone considering him as their celebrant.

    Jon was very profession and responsive with the planning of our ceremony. He helped out with the beach permit which was one thing off our list of many things to prepare for the wedding. He explained the process of the ceremony to us so that we knew what to expect and plan for.

    The ceremony presentation was beautiful and well pronounced. He spoke clearly and presented us with a ceremony that we shall cherished forever.

    Kahu Jon did an exceptional job! It was important to my husband and I that we had a traditional Hawaiian ceremony. Most of our family and friends came from the mainland and they were very impressed. The chants and blowing of the conch shell were just a few of the aspects that I loved. Kahu Jon was also very professional during our rehearsal and did a fantastic job with my very large wedding court. I chose him because of the great reviews he has received. If you are a bride that is hesitant with making a final choice, look no further!
