Katie O. Sent on 03/04/2024Exceptional Wedding Officiant
I cannot express enough how utterly thrilled my husband and I are with Mike as our wedding officiant. From the moment we met him, we knew we were in good hands. Mike not only conducted our ceremony flawlessly but added an unparalleled level of joy and charm to our special day.
Mike's ability to infuse humor into our ceremony at just the right moments was pure magic. He had our guests laughing and smiling from start to finish, creating an atmosphere of warmth and celebration that we'll cherish forever.
What truly set Mike apart, however, was his flexibility to make sure every ceremony is as unique as the couple. For us, that meant an incorporation of traditional Hawaiian elements into our ceremony. The sharing of aloha, the lei exchange, and the ring blessing added such depth and meaning to our vows. It was a beautiful homage to the culture and spirit of Hawaii, and we couldn't have asked for a more authentic experience.
And let's talk about those bonus points! Mike being married to our wedding photographer was an absolute game-changer. He knows exactly how to position himself and us throughout the ceremony, working seamlessly with any photographer to capture the most stunning moments. Our wedding album is truly a work of art, thanks in part to Mike's insider knowledge.
In short, Mike exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding officiant and then some. He brought laughter, love, and a touch of aloha to our ceremony, making it an unforgettable experience for us and all of our guests. If you're looking for someone to make your big day absolutely incredible, look no further than Mike. Trust me, you won't regret it. -

Mike was wonderful and the best officiant my husband and I could have asked for. He was thoughtful, well spoken and wonderfully incorporated traditional wedding ceremony rituals with some Hawaiian touches, such as cleansing the rings in the oceanwater and the lei exchange. Mike was responsive, fun to work with and very professional- if you are having a Hawaiian destination wedding or are local to Hawaii, I could not recommend Mike more! -

Big Island officiant Mike, Thank you so much for sharing our day with us and we mean sharing because it didn’t just feel like a person reading words from a paper to us, we felt Mikes genuine happiness for us and to be marrying us. Mike welcomed us with the biggest smile that day and his smile continued throughout the ceremony. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect officiant. I don’t know why it took me so long to write this review, but even after this long I’m still so happy for the experience.
Thank you! -

Planning a wedding in 2020 was scary... until we decided to go with Dawn and Mike! From day one, they were there for EVERY SINGLE STEP. Dawn and Mike were generous with her time, helping us plan our elopement on the Big Island while we were in CT. They were professional and very responsive when we had questions and flexible when plans changed due to the delays in traveling. They helped me find a makeup and hair stylist (which worked out perfect), delivered the bouquet and hakus for me and my little girl from a local florist (the most beautiful, tropical, arrangements, I’ve laid eyes on), helped us pick out a delicious cake from a world renowned chef and EVEN picked up my fiancée so we could have our “first-look moment” on the beach. Dawn and Mike really took the stress out of it all and it was more than we could’ve asked for.
I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous posing. I have three poses at best so I wasn’t confident if I could deliver when the camera was on. But they have a special talent with their clients. We felt as if we were the only ones on the beach, in our bubble. I admire their art in making people feel so confident and comfortable. Dawn was even able to make our 10 month old smile for a few pictures, which turned out to be the best family photo we have.
I can’t say it enough. Our day was magical and beyond anything we could’ve ever imagined and a big part of that is because of Dawn and Mike. If you are thinking about it, just do it! They know all the spots and all the right people. This is the team you want on your special day 💕
We love you guys so much! Until next time!!! Thank you for everything ❤️ -

From the time that we found Dawn Eicher and Mike Eicher with Pink Pineapple Weddings everything seemed to fall into place instantly and that wasn’t just luck- it was all of because of Dawn and Mike! The two of them brought so much of my now husband’s and my own personality to the wedding and went beyond anything we could have dreamed of for our wedding day all while planning this from 2,500 miles away!
From the beginning they helped take the stress off of our shoulders by providing venue locations for every budget, recommendations on anything from cakes to florist to hair and makeup artist- you name it these two can get it for your special day!
Having a destination wedding can be stressful and worrisome when you may not have the luxury of seeing the location in person until right before the wedding or even tasting cakes or having trial runs done before the big day. Let me ease your minds- we were shown a variety of different venues, shown how lighting and time of day would make our wedding look, sent updated videos of the venue we chose throughout the planning process, and they even met with us a couple of days before the wedding at the venue to show us how it would all come together! Their email and phone correspondence was quick and their prices very reasonable.
They made it so easy on us that all we had to do on our special day was live in the moment and soak it all in! It was huge for me that none of my family would have to do anything as far as setting up or tearing down wedding decor- and not to worry Mike and Dawn made sure that would not happen. They had the chairs set up, the isle created, flowers delivered and even personalized a toast for us in the end! We were even able to add sentimental touches to the ceremony by having our ceremony recorded and having Mike incorporate a prayer written by our family back home!
When it came to Mike officiating the ceremony, he brought in such a relaxing environment all while incorporating the Hawaiian traditions as well as allowing us to customize the ceremony with our own twist. It was a huge relief that we did not have the typical monotone ceremony with the audio cutting in and out. He made sure everything was perfect: his volume, clarity and charisma shown throughout the ceremony! It seems as though he had thought of everything to make the ceremony the best it could be. He even stood by our guest while he was officiating the wedding so that way our families were not looking at our backs the whole time.
Now for the pictures- it takes a talented person to make you cry just by showing you a picture on her camera that was just taken of you and your significant other. Dawn knew just how to bring out our photogenic sides. She was able to capture those flirtatious glances, adoring eyes and proud smiles. The saying a picture is worth a thousand words never rang true until I saw the pictures that she captured of us. She had the lighting perfected and the backdrop set perfectly in every frame. I am still amazed how she managed to capture all the little moments throughout the day!
Now that our Wedding Day is behind us all I can say is WOW! Dawn and Mike went above and beyond all of our expectations and made our wedding a dream come true! We love how they made the ceremony fit us and still brought in their thoughtfulness and creativity to the mix! Love Love Love Pink Pineapple Weddings! The two of them are so thoughtful and kind that they make you feel as though you have known them for years.
I could go on and on about how the two of these people made our dreams come true but the truth is is that there could never be enough words I could say to even begin to explain how perfect they made our experience! My heart is so happy knowing that our special day was everything we both wanted and more! -

My Husband and I were so fortunate to have Mike be an officiant on our special day. He was friendly had a great sense of humor and was very informative and helpful through the process in helping us get our Marriage License. Mike was super flexible in any last minute changes and was responsive to any emails or phone calls till the last minute of when our wedding started. Highly recommend him!! -

Talk about full service, Mike was great. He helped secure our perfect location, guided us through licensing process and even recommended great places to eat. I was nervous and Mike injects just the right amount of humor while respecting the significance of the moment – you can tell he is serious about his work but also enjoys it. Teaming with his wife Dawn, our photographer, they are quite the team. If you want to get married on the beach near Kona, Mike has got to be your guy.

A wonderful team and family (Mike, Samantha and Dawn).
If there were more stars available for this review we would definitely click on it for Dawn, Mike and Samantha! What a great team and awesome family! They made our beach wedding that much better and special with their positiveness and great attitude. My wife and I got married on the 28th of December which is a busy time for a lot of families, regardless, Mike, Samantha and Dawn accommodated to our needs and made it work fantastically! Thank you all so much. -
