    Beautiful Beach Ceremony

    Frieda orchestrated our entire wedding including the photographer, hair and makeup and procuring our marriage license. She assisted in selecting the perfect location for our beach ceremony and it came off beautifully. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

    One of the kindest souls I’ve ever met

    Frieda was so kind and made us feel so special on our special day! The wisdom that she provides is so powerful! She was so kind and thoughtful. Not just in regards to our ceremony but also helped us with suggestions around the entire island!

    Wonderful, Friendly, Personable!

    We had an amazing experience with Freida. Able to complete and go over everything remotely from the mainland, to everything playing out as it should in person on the island. Frieda, Thank you for making this experience a thoughtful, and easy process!

    Kauai Elopment

    Frieda was absolutely incredible to work with. Planning an elopement in Kauai while living in Indiana could have been stressful, but she made the entire process feel effortless. She was always responsive, organized, and completely on top of every detail, which gave us so much peace of mind from start to finish.

    On our wedding day, everything came together perfectly. Frieda created such a meaningful and personal ceremony—it truly felt like she captured who we are as a couple. The entire experience was seamless and genuinely magical, and we’re so grateful for the care and thought she put into every moment.

    If you’re considering an elopement, especially from afar, I can’t recommend Frieda enough. She goes above and beyond to make your day unforgettable.

    We loved working with Frieda!

    Frieda went above and beyond, we loved working with her! She helped us through the entire process - applying for the marriage license, giving a list of referrals for license agents, even helping us order leis/ my bouquet and delivering it to the venue.

    Such a smooth process, and Frieda made the ceremony fun with personal touches.

    I could not imagine it any other way!

    Our Kauai Wedding

    We would like to thank Frieda for officiating our wedding. We got married on Shipwreck Beach in Kauai and our ceremony was everything we hoped it would be.

    Frieda was so helpful from the beginning of our wedding planning until the evening of our ceremony. She was very thorough and pays great attention to detail.

    If you’re looking for a wedding officiant in Kauai she will not disappoint.

    South shore - Elopement - February 2026

    Freida was great! We selected her through "Kauai Elopements". She emailed and then met with us over the phone to get to know us, before we landed in Kauai for our elopement. She addressed all our beforehand inquiries and aligned with what we were wanting for our elopement.

    Day of the ceremony, Freida arrived early to our private location off the beaten trail, she was prepared, very professional and had worked with other vendors which created a very relaxing atmosphere. Everything we wanted for our ceremony she made it happen that morning. So appreciative!!!!

    And what sets Freida apart... After the ceremony she filed all the paperwork for the marriage certificate so quickly + efficiently that we received the permanent marriage license a week and a half after the ceremony in our home state! This has made the transition to married life so much easier!

    We highly recommend Freida!

    Mahalo Frieda! The absolute best!

    Wow where to start! Frieda was absolutely amazing. We planned a vacation for two weeks in Kauai with our two daughters (4 years old and 6 months old). We talked about having a simple wedding ceremony while there but we weren’t sure if it would be possible on such short notice and with no planning. However, upon arrival on the island, I googled wedding officiant and Frieda was the first to come up! I read through her website and gave her a call. From there she took over and made the process the most simple and enjoyable experience. She gave us step by step on how to apply for our marriage license, she handled booking our photographer (Liz who was also a joy to work with), all the flowers, and had a wonderful
    Ceremony for us to choose! About a week later we all met on the beautiful Hanalei Bay beach and had our ceremony. It was perfect and beautiful. Highly recommend Frieda! Mahalo!

    Could not be happier!

    I found Frieda online for our destination elopement and I’m so glad I did! She was so responsive and was willing to take our suggestions. She helped with our ideas and had all the right permits and information we needed. She asked what colors we were wearing and matched them which I thought was so above and thoughtful. Frieda is so well mannered, kind, professional, well spoken and is there to make your day the best she can. I was pretty nervous and she did whatever she could to help ease me. I would recommend her to anyone getting married. She also just a warm presence on your wedding day.
    Thank you Frieda, you were truly such a blessing

    Kauai Elopement

    We were introduced to Frieda through our photographer and we hit the jackpot! Frieda was so responsive and on top of everything from our license, booking a permit for a private waterfall, and ordering flowers for us. She gave us multiple ceremony options and let us put our personal touches in it! I would highly recommend Frieda to anyone who is getting married in Hawaii, it was such a smooth process and she made it full of laughter!

    The best choice

    We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant! She was professional, kind, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She even suggested a better spot for our ceremony that turned out to be absolutely perfect. Everything felt so natural and meaningful because of her guidance.

    She also brought along her friend, the photographer, who was just as wonderful — kind, patient, and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. They were both such a great team and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable.

    On top of all that, her services fit perfectly within our budget, which was such a relief. We’re so grateful for both of them for helping make our day truly special. Highly recommend!

    Dream Wedding Come True

    Our wedding could not have been better. Frieda guided us every step of the way and made several excellent suggestions from beach locations to restaurants to celebrate. As this was the second time around for us, a simple, beautiful beach wedding was our desire and her helpfulness and pleasant demeanor put as ease. Thank you Frieda!

    Wonderful Wedding Officiant!

    Frieda did an amazing job! She was engaging, personable and professional. Frieda met with us remotely at our home, spent a lot of time getting to know details about us, sent us a lot of materials to choose from and helped us customize the ceremony. She taught us about special Hawaiian traditions that we incorporated into the ceremony. We couldn't have been happier with Frieda as our officiant and highly recommend her to anyone! Lilian and Dan

    Frieda was everything we wanted from an officiant for our vow renewal. Her communication was excellent, guiding us through the process from more than 6 months out, and providing top tips to make our day very, very special. Cannot recommend her more highly!

    We couldn’t have imagined a better officiant!

    Right from our first meeting, my husband and I knew that Frieda would make our day special. She asked thoughtful questions, quickly understood the relaxed yet meaningful ceremony we envisioned, and struck the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth.

    Since we eloped and I handled most of the planning myself, Frieda’s guidance was invaluable. She shared helpful tips and even assisted us in reserving the beautiful and private Kalihiwai Falls in Kauai. The day before the wedding, we had a call with her that left us both feeling calm and reassured, but also so excited for the big day. She carefully explained all the legalities and took the time to get to know us personally, so she could weave meaningful details into the ceremony beyond what we had written in our vows. She even asked about our preferences for her outfit and chose a gorgeous green dress that complemented the setting perfectly.

    On the wedding day, Frieda was such a calming and joyful presence. Even though we were running a little late, she was patient and kind. During the ceremony, she went with the flow and embraced our little quirks like us asking questions midway through and pulling out an electric handheld fan when it got too hot! She understood our humor, honored our love for one another, and led a ceremony that felt deeply personal. The lei exchange she included was such a beautiful and sentimental touch, blending Hawaiian tradition with our own story.

    We can’t recommend Frieda highly enough. She is an absolute star thoughtful, genuine, and truly wonderful to work with.

    Review for Frieda Gayle – Kauai Wedding Officiant

    We had the most heartfelt and meaningful Hawaiian blessing ceremony with Frieda Gayle on August 31, and I cannot recommend her enough. From the moment we first connected, Frieda brought a genuine spirit of aloha, warmth, and care to every detail.

    She helped me plan a surprise symbolic ceremony for my wife’s birthday, and her support was exceptional — from coordinating flowers (including a beautiful haku lei and fresh leis), handling the beach permit, and even helping arrange a photographer to capture the moment. She responded to every question with patience and kindness, and helped calm all the pre-ceremony nerves.

    The ceremony included a sand blending ritual, lei exchange, and lovely reflections on Ohana and Ho'ao, all in a quiet, scenic beach nook she suggested — far from the crowds, just like we hoped. She even ensured the timing matched the golden sunset glow for our special photos.

    If you're looking for something simple yet deeply beautiful, with someone who truly cares, Frieda is the one. We are so grateful to her for making our Hawaiian blessing so memorable, meaningful, and filled with love and intention.

    Mahalo nui loa, Frieda! ❤️

    Hanalei Bay Elopement!

    We reached out to Frieda about our elopement on short notice, but she was responsive and almost immediately secured a date for us, connected us with a photographer and a florist for leis, and shared a to-do list. She also shared alternatives when we wanted to get our own flowers and shared variations of the ceremony for us to customize. At the end, she gave us a lovely keepsake and also filed our license almost immediately as we received our official license in the mail in a week. It was so easy from start to finish and we cannot recommend her enough! It was a genuine pleasure to have met her and we are so happy she was a part of our special day.

    Absolutely gorgeous ceremony!

    Frieda was so sweet, and the ceremony was amazing. She was accommodating and worked with us on finding a great spot to get married at sunrise. Per her suggestions, we changed our location at the last minute, and it turned out so well. We appreciated her warmth and friendliness, as well as her communication with us and the photographer. Highly recommend Frieda! Thank you!

    Memorable Vow Renewal in Kauai

    Frieda was a pleasure to work with to help me surprise my wife with a vow renewal on the beach. Not only did she advise me to find exactly what fit our needs, our budget but it also really brought my wife to tears. Her words were impactful, the ceremony was timeless and it'll be a cherished memory for the rest of our lives. I could not recommend Frieda more!

    What a magical Moment we will never forget!

    We had such an incredibly loving and beautiful wedding ceremony on the beach that we will never forget. Frieda took so much time, especially in advance, to advise us well and to find the perfect place for us on the island of Kauai on the beach. Since we are from Germany and therefore the papers for the subsequent certification in Germany are much more complex, she also invested a lot of time and patience here so that we had all the relevant documents and submitted them correctly. She is such a great person!!! We are so grateful to you!!! We can wholeheartedly recommend Frieda!!!

    A Wedding to Remember

    Frieda made our wedding the most memorable and magical day. It was more than we thought was possible. She took care of my florist, music, and photographer and it was Perfect!!! I can't stop looking at our pictures and we couldn't be more happy with her professionalism that she provided from day one. She added personal touches to our vows from notes she had taken during our phone calls months prior. We absolutely loved her and highly recommend her!!!!

    No one better!

    We could not have asked for anyone better to officiate our wedding away from home. She helped make our ceremony exactly what we wanted. She included personal touches that she learned about during our phone call and even included lyrics from our favorite song - that part we will never forget! She was so personable and even though the first time officially meeting her was at the altar, it felt like we had known each other for years and made us both feel so comfortable (and helped ease our nerves).

    Friendly, personalized, and flexible service

    We are from Nevada and had no idea how to make a Hawaiian wedding happen, but Frieda really helped get us on the right track with everything – including the paperwork.

    Once we were past all the paperwork, Frieda was very flexible with what we wanted to do while at the same time providing us with valuable tips and suggestions. In fact, we did not make a final decision on where we would even have the ceremony until the afternoon before the wedding! We settled on Shipwreck Beach – which was one of the locations she suggested we check out.

    When we asked, she offered suggestions for a marriage license agent, florist, photographer, and videographer. She did not push us toward any of them, but provided some names for us to research. We went with one of her suggestions (for each of those things) and that was a great choice as the three of them (Frieda, photographer, and videographer) were like a well-oiled machine – they worked really well together, each getting their job done perfectly while not interfering with the others.

    As to the ceremony itself (February 4, 2025), Frieda gave us some ideas and we opted for her “Base Aloha Kauai Wedding Ceremony,” which was anything but base as she had spent a good chunk of time chatting with to get to know us and then worked a lot of that information seamlessly into the ceremony.

    Frieda (and friends) were wonderful and made this a very personal and special event rather than a quick “canned” wedding.

    We can wholeheartedly suggest that you reach out to Frieda for your Kauai wedding.

    Best Ever Wedding

    Communication with Freida was easy and efficient. She was always avail for questions or thoughts about our wedding. Her services were perfect for us as she arranged for Leis, a photographer (& Ashely was the best!), gave us excellent ceremony suggestions, and made it easy to make the payments for her. We feel Freida’s fees were very reasonable. There were zero glitches and she was always ready to accommodate our needs. Many kudos and thank you’s to Freida for helping make our wedding time a beautiful experience.

    Perfect Kauai Wedding

    Choosing Frieda for our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made! From the very beginning, Frieda was professional, kind, and genuinely invested in making our wedding ceremony exactly what we dreamed of.
    Frieda took the time to get to know us as a couple, incorporating our history, some personal info, and even a bit of humor into the ceremony. The setting on Kauai was, of course, stunning, and Frieda chose the perfect spot for the ceremony and gorgeous photos.
    We also appreciated how seamlessly she handled all the logistics, from paperwork to coordinating with the photographer (Ashley, who was incredible), and picking up the leis and bouquet. It allowed us to fully enjoy our day without any stress.

    Romantic Cliffside Elopment

    Frieda made our wedding day nothing short of perfect. We came in from Texas and she took time to get to know us as a couple and used parts of our story to personalize the ceremony. She surprised us by incorporating our favorite song into the ceremony in a very special way. She was very responsive to messages and gave great tips prior to the ceremony about little things such as how to hold the rings to make sure they stood out during photos. Anyone who is getting married in Kauai should use Frieda; she is the absolute best!

    Unbelievable, unforgettable elopement- Frieda is AMAZING 😍

    We decided at the last minute to elope (just the 2 of us) when we were on vacation to celebrate 13 years together. Frieda made the entire experience fun, stress-free, and everything I wanted it to be. (not to mention, her prices were the best we found, but I wouldn't skimp on something like this). I would recommend her to anyone thinking about eloping.

    5 stars from happily married couple by Frieda

    Frieda was fantastic from the first time we started chatting. She made the whole process of getting married on the other side of the world easy for us. She helped us picking hair/make-up stylist and photographer and she was very detailed. Our wedding experience was perfect and in great part it was thanks to her. She was very organized and well prepared for the ceremony, making sure our wedding was the best experience we could ever imagine.

    Frieda is truly the best officiant EVER! We are so thankful that we chose her services to perform our ceremony. She was incredibly helpful to us in preparation for our special day - communicative (responds quickly and thoroughly), knowledgeable (provided so many amazing ceremony options AND helped with any random inquiries imaginable flowers/ who and how to get the marriage license) and was truly a dream to work with (thank you for the drive to our location!). Frieda is just hands down incredible. Thank you Frieda for making our dream elopement what it was - perfection!

    Great Experience

    We really loved having Frieda for our beach ceremony. Not only that, but in many ways she made our last-minute elopement happen: she worked with the florist, picked up the flowers and brought them to us, gave us plenty of options for wording, walked us through the whole ceremony beforehand, gave us tips on what to do to get the best photos, and even got us a ukulele player. Everything went smoothly despite our near-total lack of preparation, and it was so worth it to have her there. Thanks, Frieda!

    Dream wedding

    Frieda’s services helped make our wedding dreams a reality! From beginning to end she was a great communicator and coordinator. She was trustworthy and knowledgeable. She had a thorough understanding of the process and walked us through every step. She made it clear what we needed to do and how to do it and coordinated the rest for us. She recommended additional services (flowers & photography) and coordinated those as well! The day of our ceremony Frieda eloquently recited our chosen words adding personalization that made us laugh and cry.

    Nancy and Bruce

    My wife and I wanted a destination wedding, and started the search for a location and a person that would handle the preparations at this end. We came upon Frieda Gayle’s website and were immediately drawn to her. We contacted Frieda over a year ago, and made arrangements for her to handle the officiating. She was very friendly and extremely helpful through the whole process. She was very professional yet a down to earth person, it was so easy dealing with her. We felt so comfortable with her. She provided us with many options, and made arrangements with a lovely photographer, Ashley. Frieda went above and beyond to make this a memorable occasion. If we were to do this all over again, we would contact Frieda in an instance. She always responded promptly to our emails and made sure that we were happy with the whole process. Ranking Frieda on a scale of 10, she deserves full kudos, and 10++. Absolutely no question about it, we would totally recommend her to all.

    Frieda, from the bottom of our hearts 💕, Mahalo, Nancy and Bruce.

    10 Star Elopement!

    Frieda was so wonderful- we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Frieda's vow reading was perfect. Not only was she extremally responsive but she helped with every detail of our ceremony. She ordered and picked up our Leis. She suggested and partnered with Ashley Valera Photography who took the most amazing photos and she set up our ukele musician. She coordinated every detail of our elopement. We wanted something simple and beautiful and had the best experience with Frieda. highly recommend.

    First class service, stellar planning and took care of all the details

    We had the absolute pleasure of having Frieda both plan and officiate our wedding, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the beautiful ceremony she crafted for us. From the very beginning, Frieda took the time to get to know us as a couple, understand our story, our values, and to put into beautiful words and actions our personal vision for our special day.

    We were especially pleased with how responsive she was to our questions, and how she guided us through the preparations needed to get the marriage license, introduced us to a great florist on the island, found the right location (a beautiful beach), obtained the beach permit for our ceremony, and reserved a fantastic photographer. Her deep knowledge of the local people and area and timely arrangements made the entire process of preparing for a wedding nearly stress free and let us focus on our travel plans instead of worrying about getting all the complex ingredients to come together on our special day.

    Her warmth and genuine care were evident in every interaction, making us feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, Frieda delivered a ceremony that was not only eloquent and heartfelt but also perfectly tailored to reflect our unique journey together. Her words resonated deeply with us and created an atmosphere filled with love, joy, and meaningful connection.

    She truly has a gift for making each moment special and memorable. We are so thankful for her role in our wedding and would highly recommend Frieda to any couple looking for an officiant and wedding planner who will make their day truly unforgettable.

    Thank you, Frieda, for making our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be and more. We could never have made all the arrangements as effortlessly and gracefully without you.

    It was a truly special day!

    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! 💍 💕🌺

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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. 💜 💜💜

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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! 💕

    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).

    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!

    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.

    Our wedding ceremony with Frieda was amazing! She met with us a few times prior via FaceTime and personalized our ceremony exactly how we wanted. She ensured the set up and ceremony ran smoothly. We cannot thank her enough!

    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!

    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!

    Frieda was truly a breath of fresh air! Her personality was so warm and welcoming. Something you will certainly want from the soul marrying you and your partner. She made us feel so relaxed.

Her style is effortless which really does play off on you. Thank you, Frieda for making our day so special! We would not have changed a thing

    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!

    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.
