    Amazing Elopement Experience!

    We are an older couple together for over 9 years. We wanted to have a simple, fun and stress free ceremony to make our marriage official! Freida delivered that and so much more!! She helped us with a photographer and videographer (both exceeded our expectations) and helped personalize the ceremony which made it so emotional and memorable! Freida was also flexible with us as we moved our beach wedding to our condo balcony during a rain storm and then rain back down to the beach during a break in the rain to finish our and blending ceremony and pronouncement. It was all so incredible- even with the rain, we would not have changed a thing! I highly recommend Freida for your officiant for your Kauai Wedding! 💍 💕🌺

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Mahalo Jill! We loved your and Paul's wedding!
    The magic sauce was the love you both shared and how present you both were. Yes, we had it all... a rain blessing and a beach adventure! Sending love, Frieda

    A sunrise wedding to remember

    My husband and I had an absolute fantastic experience with Freida. She made out wedding special, fun and memorable. She was very responsive, great with communicating what needed to be done and made the whole process easy. She is amazing.

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Thank you Michelle! You two are so awesome and easy-going. We enjoyed your wedding and both of your love. Xo Frieda

    Freida is such a genuine soul who made our wedding day so much brighter!

    Frieda is absolutely amazing. She met with us twice - once we originally booked her to officiate our wedding (about a year in advance) and then again when we were able to fly out to Kauai a few days before our wedding.
    She took the time to get to know my husband and I, our love story, what made us unique, and also provided some helpful guidance on how to get your marriage license in Hawaii.
    Frieda was off the charts amazing and I can't recommend her enough. She will always hold a special place in our hearts.

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    And you will have a special place in my heart as well!
    You are both amazing and I know you will have a wonderful life together. Thank you for including me! Love, Frieda

    Personalized and accommodating

    We loved every minute of the ceremony that Freida helped put together for us. She recommended personalized touches that made all the difference during the ceremony! Helped us by coordinating our photographer and flowers as well.
    She made us feel comfortable and relaxed during our ceremony and it was perfect

    Kind, attentive, amazing celebrant

    Frieda brought warmth and professionalism to our wedding ceremony on Kauai. Their personalized approach and heartfelt words made our special day truly unforgettable. Due to being overseas, our time difference was very significant, but Frieda made communication smooth and easy. She also helped us with the paperwork and understanding the legal side of marriage in the US.

    We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant. Highly recommend!

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Thank you Tessa. It was such a love sunrise wedding and you looked so beautiful. Wishing you and Brandon everything wonderful! Love, Frieda

    Amazing officiant

    We were referred to Frieda by our photographer who had a couple use her services a few years before and raved about how wonderful she was. Frieda was delightful to work with, patient with our timeline and helped us to design the most meaningful ceremony. She is very knowledgeable of the island and gave some wonderful recommendations for all of our last minute needs. I would recommend her to anyone.

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    You were such a beautiful Bride!!! You and Jay are an awesome team. Thank you for having me share in your special ceremony!
    Love, Frieda

    Our perfect wedding

    We contacted Frieda about 6 weeks before our wedding date. We planned to elope in Kauai and we were looking for a small, intimate service. Frieda was so helpful in helping us with everything. She recommended a beautiful location, picked up my bouquet, organized the most talented photographer we could ask for, and provided us with options for our ceremony to make it personal to us. She was such a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her services.

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Kristy and Wayne, Thank you for your kind words... we loved you both and the love you share created the perfect energy vibe!
    Thank you for having us be a part of your special wedding and I wish your family everything wonderful!!! xo Frieda

    Our perfect day was all due to Frieda's great service

    From our first contact, Frieda was approachable, informative and responded to all subsequent questions and requests for help with referrals as well as the service she directly provides. She knows the best island locations, time of day, likely weather conditions. She provided us with clear directions on getting our marriage license, how to arrange hair/makeup appointments and nearby florists. Most importantly, she stayed in contact with us regularly as the date approached and provided us with with wonderful ceremony options, musician and photography choices. She genuinely cares about the success of your big day and is a joy to work with.

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Mahalo Lee and Tom! Your wedding with your sweet family was so special... and the joy you both emanated was a delight to witness. I'm wishing you a wonderful 2024!!! Frieda

    A Perfect Kauai Elopement

    We had a trip planned to Kauai in September of 2023 and soon realized we could elope while there. After considering a Southern California courthouse ceremony, Kauai became even more appealing. After researching officiants, I was fortunate to find Frieda Gayle. After our first phone conversation, I knew I did not need to look any further! We thoroughly enjoyed having Frieda officiate and appreciated her professionalism and flexibility in providing different civil ceremony options. It was also reassuring to receive referrals as well (site recommendations, leis, photography, etc.). Frieda made the process extremely easy even when it came to obtaining our wedding license. We continue to reflect on our Shipwreck Beach ceremony because it was perfect, and we thank Frieda Gayle for officiating and helping to make our day one we will never forget.

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Leticia, thank you so much for your kind words. I'll always remember you and Mike. You both were so calm and looked so beautiful. You two are a wonderful match with a great vibe and I'm so happy I had a chance to share in your wedding ceremony!
    Love, Frieda

    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 Whole Package

    Frieda helped made our elopement a seamless and memorable event. She sent us emails with all the options for our ceremony & what we would need to do (we were coming from CA), made recommendations, kept things light and had a host of resources for us as needed. And she is a wonderful person. We would recommend Frieda if you are getting married in Kauai.

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    And it was easy with you two as you brought the love!
    Thank you for allowing us to share in your wedding ceremony.
    We had so much fun with you! Your kindness and relaxed vibe made it perfect!

    It felt like we've known Frieda for years!

    Its hard to even know where to begin when describing our experience with Frieda. From the first point of contact, I felt like she was meant to be apart of our wedding ceremony. I first found Frieda by googling Kauai Wedding Officiant and some other people popped up but once I found Frieda's website we were sold! I first contacted her almost a year ahead of time just giving a general idea of what we were looking for in our ceremony as we were still deciding. Once we set our plans we connected with Frieda again and she promptly followed up with an in depth phone call asking our whole vision. I had also requested Frieda help with some day of coordination which she was able to work in for us as well. Frieda also helped find our photographer and a musician for our ceremony. The team she put together was even more perfect than we could have imagined! Throughout the whole process as I had questions arise, I would email Frieda and she was so quick to respond and always put all my worries at ease. It is a day we will think about forever and always be so special to us because of Frieda. Frieda also completely customized our ceremony and the way she delivered everything truly felt like she was a long time family friend and we really felt her love. Everyone at our ceremony raved about how well spoken she was and how much they loved the whole ceremony. Frieda even had a call with us the day before the ceremony to get even more personal details that were flawlessly added into the ceremony. A wedding can be stressful, especially on the big day, but her whole aura and demeanor will put any nervous couple at ease!

    Made our wedding day so special

    If you are getting married, you MUST choose Gayle! She made our day so much more special than we ever could have imagined. She is an excellent communicator and made sure we had all the proper paperwork and permits to make our wedding day a breeze. We got married on a beach that's a steep half mile hike down to, and she was more than willing and happy to accommodate us there! Our ceremony was complete with her as our officiant. She took photos, helped with my dress, was professional, fun, and visibly passionate about what she does. Our wedding day would not have been nearly as special without her. Stop looking and book her now!

    Wonderful!

    Frieda was a wonderful officiant! Prior to the wedding, she was very responsive and helped us with our vows and the entire order of the ceremony. She was so accommodating and even wore a dress to match our wedding color palette. The ceremony was very thoughtful and she added things that were unique to just us. I highly recommend Frieda!

    The best most perfect experience

    We are grateful and appreciative to have had Frieda officiate our wedding ceremony on Kauai. It could not have been a more perfect morning, and we both feel finding Frieda was the key. The choice of beach, the color of the leis, the amazing hair by a stylist who came early to our hotel room, the warmth and kindness of the photographer, the wording and vows of the ceremony itself - all flowed from Frieda’s amazing work and stellar recommendations. She was the perfect officiant, friend, counselor, and shepherd, and we feel blessed and utterly fortunate to have worked with her. 💜 💜💜

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    And you brought the love! It was such a pleasure to witness your bond and closeness. I enjoyed hearing about the life you have created together. Thank you so much that I was chosen to be a part of it! Love, Frieda

    Easy and breezy!

    Frieda helped us navigate a last minute elopement on the beautiful island of Kauai - and she did it with warmth and flexibility. She has a wealth of knowledge and eased a lot of unknowns for us as we were planning from California. So grateful we connected; it is truly a pleasure to know Frieda and we couldn’t have had as stunning and magical of a ceremony without her.

    Frieda was amazing!

    My wife and I got married on the beautiful island of Kauai in February 2023 and knew we found our perfect person to officiate our wedding with Frieda. Her professionalism, warmth, and kindness put us at ease, and we felt confident she’d help us create a ceremony that was both meaningful and memorable. We received so many compliments from our guests about how wonderful the ceremony was, and how much they enjoyed listening to her speak.

    Thank you, Frieda, for the beautiful ceremony you performed at our wedding and everything you did to make our wedding day so special. We are so grateful for you!

    Kauai Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Thank you for much for your kind words. It was so special to be with you and Bridie! Her enthusiasm and joy was so cute! And, I enjoyed your families very much. Stay happy and sending love.

    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! 💕

    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!

    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!

    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.
