    Truly the best!!

    Where do I start? First off? Karen & Lev are amazing at what they do! I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. I was so apprehensive about eloping and putting all my trust in someone to do everything for us on our special day and I am soooooo glad I chose to hire Karen and Lev for our ceremony and photography/videography. Everything was perfect and I didn’t have to worry about a thing, and this is a must when planning a destination wedding!! Karen answered all my questions and was very informative about everything which really put my mind at ease. I definitely would recommend them a thousand times over! If you want a someone you can trust with your special day, look no further! Thank you again for truly making our big day special!

    The wedding planner's, wedding planner.

    My bride to be has planned dozens of weddings in her hospitality career, but for OUR wedding, it was on me. I reached out to a few select vendors and Karen was the only one to respond personally by telephone. After talking with her for a few minutes, it was clear to me that I didn't need to entertain any other providers. She immediately put me at ease.

    Wanting a simple wedding ceremony, with only us and our immediately families in attendance, Karen couldn't have been more helpful. After corresponding with me and asking many questions as to our wishes, she recommended the perfect beach venue with concise directions from our hotel right through to the last speed bump. With all that was required to pull this day off, Karen was extremely detailed in all of the procedures.

    Karen was our officiant for our ceremony and the inclusions of the Hawaiian traditions was beautiful. We can't wait for our photographs to come in so we can remember this day, always. If you're looking for a beautiful, intimate wedding ceremony on the Big Island, let Karen handle it.

    Oh, and what did my wedding planning bride think of Weddings on Big Island. Amazing!!

    Beautiful memories!

    John and I had a beautiful wedding experience with Karen. Karen contacted us shortly after we submitted our request and was able to schedule a ceremony within our short time-frame. She addressed all of the questions we had with friendliness and professionalism and was able to recommend a venue and flowers. Everything came together in such a magical way, John and I could not have been more pleased. The weather cooperated, the beach was gorgeous, the timing was perfect, the ceremony was beautiful. Karen performed the ceremony in a personal way that made us feel so special. Kenny sang and played ukulele and his performance was also personal and so special. We have memories and beautiful photos that will last a lifetime. We feel blessed beyond belief and we are so very thankful to Karen and Kenny. Our wedding ceremony, as simple as it was, was perfect for us! We could not have planned it better if we had spent a year planning! Mahalo for the happiness you have brought us and for being part of our special day.

    25th Anniversary Vow Renewal Jan 24, 2023

    Kevin guided us to select the options that would suit our needs and expectations. It was a delight to work with him and to select Glen, one of the professional photographers that coordinated with Kevin. We had an amazing day!

    The perfect elopement!

    My husband and I got married by Kevin early in December and it was the perfect way for us to get eloped and married. We wouldn't have it any other way. He was extremely easy to work with and walked us through what we needed to do before the ceremony. He was also very organized and everything ran smoothly. Kukio was a gorgeous beach and we wouldn't have wanted to get married any other way. Thank you Kevin for making that such a special day for both of us. We loved the leis and the special and symbolic keepsake which we have displayed in our home. We highly recommend Kevin as an officiant.

    Our vow renewal

    We decided very last minute to do a vow renewal while in Kona celebrating our 1Oth year together. Kevin was super helpful with all the details for our little private ceremony. He made it easy with the location (and directions) as well as flowers and keepsake. He tailored it to what we wanted including reading words that we wrote. It was a very special sunrise celebration 🍾

    Beyond Grateful🙏🏻

    Kevin you’re amazing! The whole
    Family and I can’t thank you enough for making our daughter dream wedding come true! She was extremely ecstatic. It was certainly a leap of faith to trust a name that I had found in the world of web surfing. Kevin is a trustworthy professional all the way, he talked to me through the process over the phone. Unlike most company would ask for deposit but Kevin did not ask for any of that before the wedding, we trusted him and vice versa. The wedding were sort of surprise and wanted an intimate simple wedding and he helped to keep it that way. Oh and the Lei’s where made so beautifully and smells so good. We couldn’t be happier. Mahalo Kevin❤️

    Our perfect wedding!!

    It was an honor to have Kevin officiant our wedding! He made planning completely effortless and minimal. We absolutely loved our ceremony on Kukio beach and we couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful experience.

    Kevin’s service was PERFECT. It was everything we hoped for and more. His approach and humour made it very memorable and enjoyable. We loved that our daughters were very involved in everything and he was able to give us a traditional Hawaiian ceremony while including a religious portion.

    We highly recommend Kevin if you are thinking about getting married in Hawaii.

    Mahalo for everything!

Our day could not have been more perfect !

    Easy and simple elegance

    Kevin was easy to reach, all the paperwork was easy to complete and the simple ceremony was elegant in every way. Kevin is organized, professional, funny and eloquent. The ceremony with the conch shell, poem, and filling of different sand made for a ceremony that will be the source of many fond memories for many future years. Highly recommend.

    Absolutely amazing experience

    This was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Kevin was fantastic. SO professional and easy to work with. His words during the ceremony were perfect. It was a perfect length and I couldn't be happier.

    I've attended many weddings in my 50 years of life... This was by far the most sincere and meaningful ceremony. The blowing of the Conk Shell was so beautiful. The explanation was perfect and informative.

    The poem that Kevin read 'Marriage Joins Two People in the Circle of it's Love' by Edmund O'Neill was so touching it made me cry before things really got going. SO romantic and true.

    1st Corinthians 13 is my favorite romantic Bible verse. Most people cut pieces out due to length of presentation. NOT Kevin. He read the entire verse it all of its beauty. It was so perfect.

    Kevin allowed us to say our own words to each other which was perfect.

    Kevin included joining of sands ceremony and concluded everything perfectly. I was so happy with the job Kevin did.

    Karen did photos for us and I cannot say enough about her. She was so professional yet easy to work with. She knew just how to position us to look our best. SO happy with her!

    Absolutely the BEST

    Great Big Island Officiant

    Kevin was very easy to work with to have our Big Island wedding! He communicated very well what we needed to do and when we needed to complete items. He went above and beyond so that we could have our wedding at the location we wanted. Our wedding was a great value for everything we got! We will definitely be recommending Kevin to anyone considering getting married or renewing vows on the Big Island. Huge thank you from fellow Midwesterners!

    A Perfect Ceremony

    Daniel and I are absolutely thrilled with our wedding experience with Kevin. I submitted an inquiry into available services and hoped he'd be our officiant from the moment we spoke. He explained in great detail what would be involved, helped us every step of the way, and created the most beautiful and perfect ceremony we could have imagined. His recommendation for our location could not have been any better. We felt absolutely no stress surrounding this special day for us and our family, thanks to Kevin. Karen, our photographer, was so gracious and did an amazing job! Uncle Kenny played so beautifully and was the icing on the cake for our perfect day. We felt like these amazing people were part of our family. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Excellent Ceremony & Good Value

    Kevin was very professional and easy to work with. He made our vow renewal ceremony and the planning process easy! He explained everything as he went along so we understood the Hawaiian traditions. On top of that, his prices were very reasonable and he has a great network. He was able to provide a videographer with only a few days notice. Thank you Kevin for making our day incredibly special!

    We had a beautiful ceremony with Kevin - and he made it so simple and easy!

    Kevin provided such an amazing turnkey experience for our vow renewal ceremony, which took all of the stress and worry out of it. We were able to focus on just being there and fully experiencing the ceremony - and it was truly wonderful! Kevin had excellent communication from the very start, was proactive, guided us through everything so that it was easy, asked what approach & style we wanted for the ceremony, and made it very meaningful by incorporating our faith into the service per our request. Kevin also brought a fantastic photographer, Glen Dohie, on board for the ceremony. Glen was really great to work with and provided us with a huge amount of amazing photos! The setting on the beach was incredible and we had the whole beach to ourselves during the ceremony at the time Kevin selected. We also had a rainbow at the very end of our photo shoot, and Glen captured some wonderful photos with us in them while the rainbow was visible. Overall we could not be happier with the ceremony itself and how easy Kevin made it!! Thank you for making our day so special Kevin! Also, huge thanks to Glen for giving us such beautiful memories to cherish in your photos!

    Beautiful Wedding

    Beautiful ceremony at a great location combining heartfelt words with blending of the sands, flower leis and blowing of the conch. Kevin made the experience easy, stress free and memorable. Andrew did a great job of filming the experience to share with family and friends at home.
