    Highly recommend Frieda!

    Frieda was so helpful in helping us navigate a wedding on the island of Kauai—a place very far from Pennsylvania. She provided all the necessary contacts, marriage agents, websites, etc... She made sure we were instrumental in the planning of our ceremony. Choosing the theme and the vows. She also added personal touches just from our conversations. It was a beautiful day!

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Mahalo Cathy! I loved the vibe of your wedding! You two are so kind, fun and easy to be with... plus you looked so beautiful.
    Sending love to you and Ed... xoxo Frieda

    The wedding was a dream! So easy and Frieda listened to every detail making the wedding perfect.

    Frieda was exactly what we needed to make our wedding simple yet so special. The entire process was so easy. We wanted to enjoy the island and not spend all our time worried about wedding details. A few emails prior with so many options of wording for the wedding were all provided by Freida before we even arrived. She added perfect little details to the ceremony to personalize it to us. She listens so well and has great suggestions when asked and needed. She has a delightful personality and put together an a amazing ceremony. 10/10 for responsiveness and knowledge of the island and Kauais beach wedding guidelines. We couldn’t have dreamed of a more perfect ceremony. Love love love Freida! 💕

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Mahalo Leslie, we had so much fun with your wedding! You and Doug brought such incredible energy, laughter and love! Your guests were so kind... It was so exceptional in every way! Thank you for including me in your special day! Frieda

    Above and Beyond

    There are so many great things to say about working with Frieda for your wedding. Not only did she go above and beyond in answering questions and helping us prepare for the ceremony, she also helped us find amazing vendors, the perfect location, and even gave us tips about where to visit on the island during our stay. Most importantly, for a couple who eloped, Frieda felt like a favorite family member who's known you your whole life. She truly cares about you and is invested in making your wedding day the best day possible. She created a beautiful, thoughtful, and meaningful ceremony that we'll remember forever. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Kartik and Bethany, thanks so much for your kind words.
    It was a real thrill to share in your beautiful ceremony!
    xo, Frieda

    Frieda was fantastic!

    Frieda took care of everything. She helped us customize our vows, helped us find a beautiful beach that wasn’t raining, did a great job as officiant, took some pictures and posed with us in others, and she made our special day that much more special. We highly recommend Frieda Gayle!

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Mahalo John and Linda! Amazing how we teamed up and made it all come together... we found the best beach "spot". Thanks for going with the flow! I really enjoyed your heartfelt ceremony and the special way you both shared your vows. I can't wait to listen to all the songs you wrote! Enjoy each other! Frieda

    Frieda G. delivered "best" all round service for our Kauai wedding

    Frieda G. delivered "best" all round service for our Kauai wedding day. From the first day of planning to the day of wedding she took care of entire details with professionalism, expertise, friendliness, and promptness. Her directions for marriage license details and completing on-line state application serval months in advance of date helped us through unknown waters so that on day of arrival we obtained marriage license in 2.5 hours. The next day we married at sunset with Frieda officiating. Liz the photographer did an excellent job beyond what we had hoped could be! In summary: Frieda G. is an outstanding professional officiant and planning director. Billy and Kathy from Santa Maria CA (6 Dec 2022 Marriage date).

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Thank you so much for your lovely words! It's couples like you that make it easy. It was truly special to share your love. Both you and Kathy's kindness make me love my "job" even more!

    Memories you will cherish forever!

    We arrived in Kauai on 11/18/22 it was so beautiful that on a whim we decided to get married, with little time Freida planned the most perfect elopement. This was the most magical day of our lives and I wouldn't do anything different. Mallory our photograph captured every precious moment to the tee.

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Eileen, I loved you and Rich's wedding. So relaxed and loving.
    I'm so glad we found each other! Mahalo! Frieda

    Mahalo Frieda!

    We reached out to Frieda about a month prior to the ceremony. Frieda was quick to reply and navigate us throughout the process to apply for the marriage certificate, acquire the document from an agent of our choosing, personalize EVERY aspect of our ceremony and answer EVERY question or concern we had along the way with the utmost patience and professionalism. Everything from the time, location and permits necessary was provided for with ease so all we had to focus on was US on our special day. We couldn’t be more grateful to have worked with Frieda and have her officiate our wedding, 11/10 experience.

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    The pleasure is all mine! You have been a joy every step of the way. Super positive and appreciative and that makes it fun!!! Congrats to you and Joe!

    Perfect Hawaii wedding

    Freida was the most wonderful person to work with! She was so accommodating to our wedding goals and needs, she communicated with us throughout the entire process, and made sure everything was unique and tailored to us! We couldn’t have had a more beautiful ceremony, and can’t thank her enough for picking such a wonderful location. If you were getting married in Kauai, she is definitely your go to!!

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Caitlin, you and Collin were so delightful, so kind and grateful.
    You definitely have the attitude and ingredients for a wonderful marriage! I enjoyed being a part of your ceremony and I wish you so much joy and happiness! That you for sharing that with me.

    Excellent experience

    With all of the hustle and bustle of planning a wedding an officiant and the words they speak often goes forgotten or to the bottom of the priority list, but arguably they are the most important part! With Frieda’s guidance on what those words could be, made our ceremony everything we had hoped for. Frieda’s professionalism and experience were phenomenal and helped make our day and our special words come to life. We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Frieda Gayle. Thank you!

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Thank you Brian! It was my pleasure to be a part of your wedding. We went on a journey that began as a small elopement and evolved into an important family event at an awesome venue complete with ocean background. You both (and the team) created such a wonderful wedding and reception, it was beautiful on all levels. So happy I got to share it with you. Wishing you everything wonderful in your life together !

    Frieda was the best choice for us!

    We were on vacation when we decided that we should just get married right then and there. My now-husband reached out to Frieda Gayle and, not only did she make our tiny, spur-of-the-moment wedding happen on that very same day, she helped us figure out the logistcal pieces, recommended a beautiful spot to have it, and even took a few photos for us after. Even though I had originally thought I wanted a quick paperwork signing - as we would be doing something big with our families and friends at a later date - when we met, she offered the opportunity for a small ceremony and we took her up on it. Her words were perfect and now, a year later, I'm so glad we had her there to remind us to take a breath and be present in the moment at our sunset beachfront beginning of our lives together.

    In the end we had a very small but deeply personal wedding. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who is looking for a thoughtful wedding officiant!

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Oh so sweet Lavonah! Thank you so much and it was a pleasure to be a part of your and Taylor's special ceremony! xo Frieda

    Book Frieda Gayle for Your Wedding Fairytale

    Frieda was an absolute dream to work with! From the moment I first emailed her about my plans, she was responsive, warm, helpful, and kind. Our elopement had several moving parts including a last-minute location change due to weather just hours before, and a post-wedding update to the marriage certificate in which she was flexible and understanding through it all. We loved Frieda's energy and warmth during the ceremony and appreciated her weaving in a few details about us that we had shared with her earlier to give it a personal touch. Mahalo, Frieda for making our wedding day so special and fun!

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Mahalo Ali! It was so much fun to be a part of your and Brendon's wedding! Talk about flow... we were all in it together! And your hiking and kayaking before the wedding date... I'm impressed!
    I wish you both the best of everything! xo Frieda

    Pulling Off An Incredible Effort in 24 Hours

    Frieda was incredibly helpful! She helped us move some mountains to pull off a last-minute elopement. We were so incredibly happy to have her be available and communicative to help us figure out all the details of our wedding. We were able to elope in less than 24th hours! She took our call, set up logistics, called marriage license agents (all on a Sunday) and we were able to have a sunrise ceremony with beautiful photographs. Thank you so much for helping us pull it off!

    Perfect Elopement Officiant!

    Frieda was just what we were looking for in an officiant! She made our ceremony exactly what we wanted it to be. She is organized, responsive, professional, and very helpful with suggestions. And she has a great energy about her! She gave us a list of choices of how we wanted our ceremony to flow, and the wording for it. We also incorporated our own vows.

    Beyond Excellent!

    A million Mahalos to our wedding officiant Freida Gayle! This is the last review you need to read, just book her and save yourself the time to try more cakes :) She is absolutely the best in style, competence, communication, efficiency and patience. From our very first response from her she exhibited an air of aloha and let this feeling guide the entire process. We changed the date of our wedding, no problem; couldn’t decide on a location, no problem; we were even late to our wedding, still no problem! She just reminded us that these were small details and the only truly important thing was the commitment of love we were making to each other. She helped us relax and ultimately have a beautiful wedding in paradise!

    Wonderful Experience

    After 14 years together, and a 2 year engagement, my husband and I decided it was exactly the right time for us to be married and that we could not find a more beautiful place than Kauai. Ms. Gayle was recommended to us and was absolutely invaluable in guiding us through the details with suggestions and her knowledge of the island. She was incredibly accommodating and kind; providing excellent communication throughout. Our wedding was perfect for us and we appreciate everything she did to help make it work out so beautifully.

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Andrea, Mahalo for your kind words. You made it easy with your kindness and ease. And being a Nashville couple endeared me even more:-) I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to be a part of sharing the love with couples like you and Carlton!
    I wish you both the best in 2020! Love, Frieda

    Dream Wedding!

    Frieda was amazing!! She was very responsive and helpful even on short notice. We contacted her almost last minute, in the world of weddings, and she pulled off the ceremony of our dreams! She was very helpful with location suggestions when she learned what we were looking for. She is very easy going and very patient while waiting for decisions to be made. When we met before the ceremony she made us feel like we had known her for years and that put us both at ease. Frieda will be a friend for a lifetime!!

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Mahalo for your kind words! You had a very meaningful ceremony, thank you for allowing me to be a part of it. You two are so much fun and your families were cool too! Yes, we are friends for life.

    First off all THANK YOU FRIEDA! You made our ceremony so special and you guided us so smoothly trough it all while we were a bit nervous.
    Especially about the part that we didn’t have a regular ceremony while we already had a ring exchange but you made it wonderful by blessing us with the lei exchange and making that moment so special for us.
    We read a lot of good reviews about you and I have to say that we are so so so happy we chose you!
    Thank you also for coming to meet us first the day before while you had a very busy schedule. Also being so patient with us while we kept doubting about our location but you managed to have us make the right decision with your wise words ;-).
    We loved our ceremony and we loved it that you were our officiant, couldn’t have a more picture perfect moment.
    Thank you
    Edward & Sara
