    Breathtakingly Amazing!

    Michaela is just extraordinary. She is so warm and inviting, such an amazingly wonderful person. She included our entire family during the ceremony and we felt like one. It was truly a breathtaking and wonderful experience, unlike no other. She is by far the best and most gracious person to officiate and we considered her part of the family when everything was done. Just AMAZING.

    The most incredible ceremony - THANK YOU SO MUCH!

    Michaela was the perfect officiant for our wedding. She was incredible from the first moment we connected on the phone. She took our ideas into consideration and was very flexible with the ceremony. Her knowledge of Hawaiian tradition is sound and she is a true kumu. She understood who we are, our values, and what was important to us, and she blended it seamlessly into her powerful ceremony. You could tell that she took the energetic & spiritual presence of ceremony very seriously and gave her ALL to that moment with us at the altar. It was one of the most powerful moments of our lives, facilitated by her spirit. Many people on our guest list came to us and said it was byfar the most meaningful wedding ceremony they have ever witnessed. We also have two young children that she folded into the ceremony beautifully, as well as incorporated multiple family members to truly make it a group experience. I would recommend her highly to anyone of higher consciousness who wishes to have an energetically powerful initiation into marriage.

    What a magical wedding day♥️. Everything was perfect. Everything seemed to sparkle ♥️. Mahalo for the experience 🙏🏽 Mahalo for your kindness 🥰

    Vow Renewal

    Michaela was truly such a pleasure to work with. My husband and I booked her to perform our vow renewal for our 10 year anniversary. She gave us pricing and package options and was flexible with changes we requested or suggested. I sincerely believe it was meant to be as where we had our renewal (where we originally married) is also where she lived at one point. There undoubtedly was a sort of magic to the coincidence. She has this great energy and is so genuine. She performed an authentic Hawaiian ceremony and it beyond special. It was everything we wanted. Even the few family members we had in attendance commented on how they absolutely loved chatting with Michaela and listening to her stories that she shared after our ceremony. She is a gem!

    Wedding officiant

    On November 18th the Kapule and the Augusten family united in matrimony and it was one of the best days of our lives. Michaela, our officiant, was absolutely amazing! She was very professional and we were very impressed with her ability to keep our ceremony traditional. We are very grateful for her service and highly recommend her!

    Elopement with Michaela

    Michaela was a peaceful and sincere presence at our elopement wedding. She provided an experience that was exactly what we envisioned and more with thoughtful and meaningful words spoken that will be remembered for a lifetime. We are truly thankful to have got to have Michaela as our officiant and would recommend her endlessly.

    Pure Magic!

    Michaela made our day so incredibly special. I was in the wedding industry for 8 years and have seen hundreds of ceremonies and ours was so unique and unlike anything I've experienced before. Michaela is so wise, funny, and not to mention incredibly beautiful! My family was talking about her for days, and even my photographer who has experienced many Hawaiian style weddings was blown away by the ceremony. I feel so blessed that fate lead us to her. It really was pure magic!

    Authentic & Magical Hawaiian Ceremony!

    Wow! From the moment we first reached out to Michaela all the way to the end of our ceremony Michaela was there for us. She is incredible to work with and embodies the true spirit of ALOHA! We are so grateful and blessed that she was our officiant. She made our wedding day incredibly magical for us and our guests. We relive the moment everyday, remembering her spoken words. Mahalo nui loa Michaela!

    Hawaiian Style Beach Weddings with ALOHA's reply:

    Mahalo Gilles and Leo for your kind words. It was a pleasure and honor to be a part of your sacred ceremony. Mahalo for the beautiful haku lei and maile lei. You both made me feel so special and loved. Please give my aloha to your friends for me. You could see that they love you two so very much.

    Honoring both our cultures in a heartfelt and funny ceremony

    Mahalo, Michaela, for touching all of our hearts. My mom, my partner's mom, all our aunts, and uncles kept telling us how much they loved the ceremony. We heard you, we listened to your words, and when you began to chant, we felt that to our core. We couldn't have asked for anyone better to bring together both families, two different cultures, under one roof. For anyone considering an officiant, if you're looking for someone kind and thoughtful who will bring tons of meaning to your ceremony and even make you laugh, then you need to book with Michaela.

    A Ceremony Filled with the Aloha Spirit!

    Michaela Larson is so wonderful and caring. I was so nervous on our wedding day and she made the entire ceremony relaxed and happy. I can't thank her enough for bringing the spirit of Aloha to our special day. We chose a traditional Hawaiian-style wedding, she was educational and brought inclusivity of our guests into the ceremony so it felt like a group experience. A wedding ceremony is embued with meaning but she was able to bring in Hawaiian philosophy and tradition to make it even more memorable. Thank you, Michaela!

    Marvelous michaela

    Michaela Lehuanani Larson is one lovely human being. She spreads Aloha with her presence and will fill your ceremony with spiritual love. Michaela is responsive, helpful, and the kind of officiant any couple having a simple wedding on the Big Island would love.

    Best Decision We Made

    Mikela was the officiant of our dreams. There was not a dry eye left at the end of the ceremony and we could not have asked for a more BEAUTIFUL, MEANINGFUL, and AUTHENTIC wedding ceremony. We felt like if we had gone with anyone else it wouldn't have been quite as perfect. She meant every word, and I can't even begin to describe what those words meant to us. If you are on the fence about who to officiate like we were this is the one and you should look no further. We are already talking about having her officiate a vow renewal down the road because we want the same experience all over again. Everyone came up to me during the reception and was raving about how it was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever been to and we could not have been happier!!!

    A Beautiful Job!

    Michaela Larson did such a great job at my daughters wedding! She turned her wedding into a Hawaiian style wedding that was so magical and beautiful it made the rest of our kids want to get married by her! You could feel the warmth of her words and she really meant what she was saying. Her ceremony truly came from her heart. It was breath taking to watch her. She was very easy to work with and very reasonably priced. I HIGHLY recommend hiring her as an officiant.

    Hawaiian Style Beach Weddings with ALOHA's reply:

    Mahalo April ❤️
    You are just to kind. You did an amazing job planning and organizing the wedding. I have to say I really thought you and your daughter were sisters.

    Rayanne looked stunning and Kyle looked so handsome and was such a gentleman. Both of them asked me to stay for the reception. That was so kind of them. You have a great family.

    Mahalo for this beautiful review. These reviews really go a long way for our local businesses. 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

    Magical Hawaiian Ceremony

    My husband and I had our wedding officiated by Michaela. Everything about it far exceeded our expectations. It was the most magical wedding I have ever attended. I also officiate weddings and have been to many of them. She brings in a sacred energy and presence that is unparalleled to anyone else. Her easy going and non judgmental nature made us feel accepted and Loved. We felt like her family. All of our friends in attendance shared that our ceremony was the most magical thing they have ever witnessed. If you are looking for someone to officiate your ceremony, please pick Michaela. You won’t regret it. Put you me trust in her and you will be happy that you did. She performed for us a traditional Hawaiian ceremony that we didn’t even know we needed until we experienced it. If any part of you feels drawn to have your wedding in Hawaii, you need Michaela to be your person.

    Memorable vow renewal for 25 yrs

    We had Michaela perform our 25th anniversary vow renewal. We really wanted to have a "true" Hawaiian ceremony and that is what we got. It was absolutely fantastic and memorable (one for the books) Michaela is the most personable and fun officiant. She will make you feel relaxed, help and ask whatever you need to make your day "SPECIAL" ~ If you really want a Hawaiian ceremony which is unbelievable I would NOT look any further. This is the place... Please reach out to me if you have questions I can answer....

    Hawaiian Style Beach Weddings with ALOHA's reply:

    Mahalo nui loa Melissa, you are so sweet and kind.
    It was a pleasure spending time with you as you prepared with so much love for your sacred day.

    Mahalo for allowing me to be a part of a beautiful evening. Your photos taken at the beach came out beautiful.

    I am so honored that you asked me to perform your ceremony, it really means a lot to me and my ohana. Mahalo for helping us to perpetuate our culture from your experience and the heartfelt stories you will share with your friends and ohana.

    Take care and please say aloha to Dale, his Mom and her partner. He was funny ;-)

    A Magical Ceremony and a Cultural Celebration

    Michaela Larson was a joy to work with on our Big Island elopement. I knew from the first time I spoke with her how genuine and filled with love she is and that she was the perfect person to marry us. We felt so honored that she shared her sacred Hawaiian culture with us and she thanked us for supporting her culture. That was deeply meaningful for us as we wanted to support a Native Hawaiian woman owned business. She even dressed to coordinate with our colors, which were bold and brightly rainbow colored. She went above and beyond sharing beach and vendor recommendations to help our special day be perfect and respectful to the Big Island and her extraordinary people. Me and my groom and our whole party were deeply touched by the ceremony and vows. We feel that Michaela is part of our family now and we look forward to staying in touch. Mahalo Michaela 💕

    (Looking forward to our professional photos- here is a mobile pic of us signing our marriage license with Michaela, who radiates love in all she does 💓)

    Intimate and breath taking.

    Michaela performs an unforgettable and amazing ceremony. She engaged our small wedding group and gave us some very kind and caring words of wisdom. It was more than just a traditional church wedding. I cannot say enough good about her and her ceremony. If you are looking for something meaningful and unforgettable she is it! Aloha Michaela

    Michaela is THE BEST!

    Honestly, we couldn't have had a better officiant. Michaela is a very special woman - she has a great energy and is just amazing. The ceremony she conducted was incredibly heartfelt and touching. I love all the Hawaiian aspects in her ceremony - from the conch shell to the chanting to our lei exchange - we were in awe.
    It can be hard choosing an officiant, especially when planning a destination wedding. Trust me, Michaela is the best - you will not be disappointed!

    Mahalo Jennifer for such a beautiful review and recommendation. Your ohana was great! Everyone was so warm and made me feel like part of the ohana. You both looked at each other with so much love in your hearts. Your love inspired everyone. Even the roasters and goats started to sing:-) Definitely an amazing evening. Please call me anytime and let me know when you decide to do a vow renewal. I would love to perform your renewal ceremony as a gift to you both. Take care and have a great 2020!
