The experience from Kona wedding officiant was fabulous from start to finish.
They responded to every single email in a timely manner and addressed all my
last min requests. Very professional and prompt. The officiant was Tom and he
did a beautiful ceremony, he incorporated "our story" into the ceremony and
shared lots of wisdom. We renewed our vows for our 25th anniversary and again
everything went smooth. If we could give this experience 10 stars we would!

The team at Kona Wedding Officiant is outstanding. We highly recommend them to
anyone considering a wedding on the Big Island. They took care of every detail
from start to finish. Kahu Tom was an outstanding Officiant for our sunset
wedding at Kikaua Point. Deanna, the owner was incredibly patient and took the
time to answer all of my questions to ensure I felt comfortable with the entire
process for our destination wedding. Our photographer, Cynthia was fantastic
with our group of 13 and has an artistic eye to capture the best moments. Our
wedding ceremony exceeded our expectations, thanks to the awesome team at Kona

We used Kona wedding officiant to have a small ceremony on the big island and I
can’t say enough wonderful things! Deanna the owner had great communication and
was very responsive. For our wedding our officiant was Margarita and Terra was
the photographer. They were both wonderful and listened to all of our needs and
request. Terra really took her time and put a lot of effort into the pictures!
I’m very excited to get them back! I would highly recommend this company to
anyone looking to get married on the big island!

Thanks to Kona Wedding Officiant for a seamless and smooth wedding experience!
We just had to plan wedding outfits and hair and makeup (but we used her
recommendation) and showed up to our wedding! It was a beautiful and low stress
day for us! Our preferences were accounted for, for wedding location,
photographer and flowers. I wish I was a little more specific about flowers I
wanted/didn’t want but the specifications I did provide were followed. We got
photos right at the estimated timeline and we loved them all we had to purchase
the full package! We highly recommend Kona Wedding Officiant for a stress free
wedding process

Highly recommend! We arranged the entire wedding package, with license and
photographs, from Chicago, via telephone calls and emails. There are so many
choices, and options for anything you can think of! There were no issues with
times, travel, or schedule. Everything went exactly as planned that day. Deanna
was wonderful and made our day so special. As corny as it may sound, it really
did feel like we were the only people on the beach that day. It felt intimate
and grand at the same time. Our photographer was also awesome, she had great
ideas for photos and went along with all our crazy requests! And of course, it's
Hawaii, and it's beautiful. 100 percent positive experience

super simple and stress free. There is also a ton of different options for the
wedding ceremony that really makes it special. If I could do it all over again I

Deanna from Kona Wedding Officiant performed our wedding ceremony on August 28,
2023 at Kuki'o Beach. We purchased the Elopement Package for 2 which included a
photographer. We are extremely satisfied with the services that Deanna provided
and highly recommend using her for your wedding ceremony. From the time we
booked the wedding date more than a year ago to the actual wedding day, Deanna
quickly and efficiently responded to all of our communications and all of her
instructions were clear and concise. Deanna is exactly everything that we were
looking for in a wedding officiant. My husband and I eloped because we wanted a
private and intimate ceremony and that is exactly what Deanna provided. She was
eloquent and somehow instinctively delivered the perfect harmonization of a
Christian ceremony and a spiritual ceremony all in one. Her energy was
otherworldly and her pace and tonality throughout the ceremony were both calming
and grounding. She truly embodies the god essence and made our wedding ceremony
everything that we could ever wish our wedding to be. We truly feel blessed and
are deeply and eternally grateful to Deanna for making our wedding day so
memorable and meaningful

Could not have been more impressed with the quality and experience that was
provided. One click of Apple pay, and everything was completely taken care of.
No stress whatsoever was involved. However, the easiness and no micromanagement
did not reflect in a poor product. The low expectations of a last minute
elopement to marry my husband resulted in the most beautiful experience that I
will treasure forever. Diana, Shannon, and Margarita, we’re an awesome team who
delivered something beyond our expectations, and I am forever grateful. I have
recommended to several friends to go this route of a no stress special ceremony.
You will not be disappointed. Biggest thank you to the Kona Wedding Officiant

Deanna‘s team Margarita (officiant) and Terra (photographer) were amazing.
Margarita ran late but it all worked out perfectly. We got the majority of the
pictures taken until she arrived and we still ended at our scheduled time! Terra
is an amazing photographer. She worked with our boys and ensured great spots to
make us look fabulous! Margarita was full of warmth and she was very flexible
with including the kids in the ceremony, which made it all much more special.
Our rose petals were refunded for the delay, which was nice. Overall, it was a
phenomenal experience and the wedding turned out far better than we imagined! <3

We were extremely happy with our wedding and it was all thanks to Deanna! She
was amazing! She was extremely communicative through the process of planning and
all the way through to our “big day”. We appreciate that she took the time to
answer all our questions (which were many) and provided great advice on planning
the perfect ceremony. At the ceremony, Deanna was thoughtful, patient,
intentional, and very kind. We could not be happier with our wedding experience.
Deanna’s team were sweet and very talented. Aubrey did an amazing job capturing
the beautiful moments and we adore her photos. Dennis was fantastic as well,
played ukulele and sang beautifully. He made our first dance so special to us.
100% recommend Kona Wedding Officiant for anyone’s wedding in Hawaii. We are so

a great deal to us and Deanna accommodated our wishes immediately. She was
responsive and thorough with her communication and information pre-wedding. Any
questions we had were thoroughly answered and because of her attention to detail
I'm certain, if you are unclear of ideas, she will be able to help you. On our
special day, as it's clear just like any other day, Deanna was kind, generous,
authentic, supportive and gracious. The ceremony was everything we could have
hoped for and Deanna made it that much more special with her broad smile and

We truly couldn't be happier with our decision to have Deanna organize and
officiate our elopement. She was extremely helpful in the process of all things
wedding - location, vows, marriage certificates, etc. As most people know,
wedding planning can be very stressful, but with Deanna we did not have an ounce
of stress... we were able to enjoy the process and most importantly the big day!
She was also extremely patient with us, as we made some very last minute
decisions. The ceremony was so beautiful and thoughtful. We decided to include
some Hawaiian traditions at our ceremony like the blowing of the Pū, the
beautiful Oli blessing, a lei exchange, ring blessing, and the sand blending.
She really set the mood and made the experience like no other. We couldn't have
asked for a better day, it was truly PERFECT. She also set us up with a
photographer named Loryn. Loryn was soooo wonderful. We have never had
professional photos taken so we weren't sure how we'd do but she made us feel
very comfortable in front of the camera! She was easy to work with, made us
laugh and made us feel beautiful! We can't wait to see the photos! We recommend
Kona Wedding Officiant to anyone interested in getting married in Hawaii - you

We used Kona wedding officiant to have a small ceremony on the big island and I
can’t say enough wonderful things! Deanna the owner had great communication and
was very responsive. For our wedding our officiant was Margarita and Terra was
the photographer. They were both wonderful and listened to all of our needs and
request. Terra really took her time and put a lot of effort into the pictures!
I’m very excited to get them back! I would highly recommend this company to
anyone looking to get married on the big island!

Thanks to Kona Wedding Officiant for a seamless and smooth wedding experience!
We just had to plan wedding outfits and hair and makeup (but we used her
recommendation) and showed up to our wedding! It was a beautiful and low stress
day for us! Our preferences were accounted for, for wedding location,
photographer and flowers. I wish I was a little more specific about flowers I
wanted/didn’t want but the specifications I did provide were followed. We got
photos right at the estimated timeline and we loved them all we had to purchase
the full package! We highly recommend Kona Wedding Officiant for a stress free
wedding process

choices, and options for anything you can think of! There were no issues with
times, travel, or schedule. Everything went exactly as planned that day. Deanna
was wonderful and made our day so special. As corny as it may sound, it really
did feel like we were the only people on the beach that day. It felt intimate
and grand at the same time. Our photographer was also awesome, she had great
ideas for photos and went along with all our crazy requests! And of course, it's
Hawaii, and it's beautiful. 100 percent positive experience

Deanna from Kona Wedding Officiant performed our wedding ceremony on August 28,
2023 at Kuki'o Beach. We purchased the Elopement Package for 2 which included a
photographer. We are extremely satisfied with the services that Deanna provided
and highly recommend using her for your wedding ceremony. From the time we
booked the wedding date more than a year ago to the actual wedding day, Deanna
quickly and efficiently responded to all of our communications and all of her
instructions were clear and concise. Deanna is exactly everything that we were
looking for in a wedding officiant. My husband and I eloped because we wanted a
private and intimate ceremony and that is exactly what Deanna provided. She was
eloquent and somehow instinctively delivered the perfect harmonization of a
Christian ceremony and a spiritual ceremony all in one. Her energy was
otherworldly and her pace and tonality throughout the ceremony were both calming
and grounding. She truly embodies the god essence and made our wedding ceremony
everything that we could ever wish our wedding to be. We truly feel blessed and
are deeply and eternally grateful to Deanna for making our wedding day so
memorable and meaningful

We truly couldn't be happier with our decision to have Deanna organize and
officiate our elopement. She was extremely helpful in the process of all things
wedding - location, vows, marriage certificates, etc. As most people know,
wedding planning can be very stressful, but with Deanna we did not have an ounce
of stress... we were able to enjoy the process and most importantly the big day!
She was also extremely patient with us, as we made some very last minute
decisions. The ceremony was so beautiful and thoughtful. We decided to include
some Hawaiian traditions at our ceremony like the blowing of the Pū, the
beautiful Oli blessing, a lei exchange, ring blessing, and the sand blending.
She really set the mood and made the experience like no other. We couldn't have
asked for a better day, it was truly PERFECT. She also set us up with a
photographer named Loryn. Loryn was soooo wonderful. We have never had
professional photos taken so we weren't sure how we'd do but she made us feel
very comfortable in front of the camera! She was easy to work with, made us
laugh and made us feel beautiful! We can't wait to see the photos! We recommend
Kona Wedding Officiant to anyone interested in getting married in Hawaii - you

We were so very lucky to have found Kona Wedding Officiant! I really wanted
something beautiful, a traditional Hawaiian Wedding and on the beach in Hawaii.
But I also wanted this to be easy and not be a lot of work. I wanted things to
happen organically with no stress for myself or my Husband. Much to my surprise
Deanna did more than I could have imagined. I picked what I wanted as to the
traditional Hawaiian wedding and she made it happen. I really did not have to do
anything. I spend time on the beach until my wedding and I could not be happier!
I would do it all over again! But - I have to tell you, Deanna herself brought
so much Aloha spirit to my wedding that it brought tears to my eyes...and I am
not one to cry. Watching her prepare for our wedding by appreciating the ocean,
carefully blessing the rings, the eye to eye contact and the beauty of her
ceremony was beyond expectations. We were truly blessed to find Kona Wedding

provided us for our special day. We had a specific location selected that meant
a great deal to us and Deanna accommodated our wishes immediately. She was
responsive and thorough with her communication and information pre-wedding. Any
questions we had were thoroughly answered and because of her attention to detail
I'm certain, if you are unclear of ideas, she will be able to help you. On our
special day, as it's clear just like any other day, Deanna was kind, generous,
authentic, supportive and gracious. The ceremony was everything we could have

kind heart. Deanna's intentionality brought the spirit of Aloha alive and we

We truly couldn't be happier with our decision to have Deanna organize and
officiate our elopement. She was extremely helpful in the process of all things
wedding - location, vows, marriage certificates, etc. As most people know,
wedding planning can be very stressful, but with Deanna we did not have an ounce
of stress... we were able to enjoy the process and most importantly the big day!
She was also extremely patient with us, as we made some very last minute
decisions. The ceremony was so beautiful and thoughtful. We decided to include
some Hawaiian traditions at our ceremony like the blowing of the Pū, the
beautiful Oli blessing, a lei exchange, ring blessing, and the sand blending.
She really set the mood and made the experience like no other. We couldn't have
asked for a better day, it was truly PERFECT. She also set us up with a
photographer named Loryn. Loryn was soooo wonderful. We have never had
professional photos taken so we weren't sure how we'd do but she made us feel
very comfortable in front of the camera! She was easy to work with, made us
laugh and made us feel beautiful! We can't wait to see the photos! We recommend

We were so very lucky to have found Kona Wedding Officiant! I really wanted
something beautiful, a traditional Hawaiian Wedding and on the beach in Hawaii.
But I also wanted this to be easy and not be a lot of work. I wanted things to
happen organically with no stress for myself or my Husband. Much to my surprise
Deanna did more than I could have imagined. I picked what I wanted as to the
traditional Hawaiian wedding and she made it happen. I really did not have to do
anything. I spend time on the beach until my wedding and I could not be happier!
I would do it all over again! But - I have to tell you, Deanna herself brought
so much Aloha spirit to my wedding that it brought tears to my eyes...and I am
not one to cry. Watching her prepare for our wedding by appreciating the ocean,
carefully blessing the rings, the eye to eye contact and the beauty of her
ceremony was beyond expectations. We were truly blessed to find Kona Wedding
Officiants. Mahalo Deanna. If you want a beautiful ceremony in Hawaii with no

Deanna from Kona Wedding Officiant performed our wedding ceremony on August 28,
2023 at Kuki'o Beach. We purchased the Elopement Package for 2 which included a
photographer. We are extremely satisfied with the services that Deanna provided
and highly recommend using her for your wedding ceremony. From the time we
booked the wedding date more than a year ago to the actual wedding day, Deanna
quickly and efficiently responded to all of our communications and all of her
instructions were clear and concise. Deanna is exactly everything that we were
looking for in a wedding officiant. My husband and I eloped because we wanted a
private and intimate ceremony and that is exactly what Deanna provided. She was
eloquent and somehow instinctively delivered the perfect harmonization of a
Christian ceremony and a spiritual ceremony all in one. Her energy was
otherworldly and her pace and tonality throughout the ceremony were both calming
and grounding. She truly embodies the god essence and made our wedding ceremony
everything that we could ever wish our wedding to be. We truly feel blessed and
are deeply and eternally grateful to Deanna for making our wedding day so
memorable and meaningful

Could not have been more impressed with the quality and experience that was

No stress whatsoever was involved. However, the easiness and no micromanagement
did not reflect in a poor product. The low expectations of a last minute
elopement to marry my husband resulted in the most beautiful experience that I
will treasure forever. Diana, Shannon, and Margarita, we’re an awesome team who
delivered something beyond our expectations, and I am forever grateful. I have

We were so very lucky to have found Kona Wedding Officiant! I really wanted
something beautiful, a traditional Hawaiian Wedding and on the beach in Hawaii.
But I also wanted this to be easy and not be a lot of work. I wanted things to
happen organically with no stress for myself or my Husband. Much to my surprise
Deanna did more than I could have imagined. I picked what I wanted as to the
traditional Hawaiian wedding and she made it happen. I really did not have to do
anything. I spend time on the beach until my wedding and I could not be happier!
I would do it all over again! But - I have to tell you, Deanna herself brought
so much Aloha spirit to my wedding that it brought tears to my eyes...and I am
not one to cry. Watching her prepare for our wedding by appreciating the ocean,
carefully blessing the rings, the eye to eye contact and the beauty of her
ceremony was beyond expectations. We were truly blessed to find Kona Wedding
Officiants. Mahalo Deanna. If you want a beautiful ceremony in Hawaii with no
stress...this is your place. You will not be disappointed

We just had to plan wedding outfits and hair and makeup (but we used her
recommendation) and showed up to our wedding! It was a beautiful and low stress
day for us! Our preferences were accounted for, for wedding location,
photographer and flowers. I wish I was a little more specific about flowers I
wanted/didn’t want but the specifications I did provide were followed. We got
photos right at the estimated timeline and we loved them all we had to purchase
the full package! We highly recommend Kona Wedding Officiant for a stress free

Deanna from Kona Wedding Officiant performed our wedding ceremony on August 28,
2023 at Kuki'o Beach. We purchased the Elopement Package for 2 which included a
photographer. We are extremely satisfied with the services that Deanna provided
and highly recommend using her for your wedding ceremony. From the time we
booked the wedding date more than a year ago to the actual wedding day, Deanna
quickly and efficiently responded to all of our communications and all of her
instructions were clear and concise. Deanna is exactly everything that we were
looking for in a wedding officiant. My husband and I eloped because we wanted a
private and intimate ceremony and that is exactly what Deanna provided. She was
eloquent and somehow instinctively delivered the perfect harmonization of a
Christian ceremony and a spiritual ceremony all in one. Her energy was
otherworldly and her pace and tonality throughout the ceremony were both calming
and grounding. She truly embodies the god essence and made our wedding ceremony
everything that we could ever wish our wedding to be. We truly feel blessed and
are deeply and eternally grateful to Deanna for making our wedding day so
memorable and meaningful

intentional, and very kind. We could not be happier with our wedding experience.
Deanna’s team were sweet and very talented. Aubrey did an amazing job capturing
the beautiful moments and we adore her photos. Dennis was fantastic as well,
played ukulele and sang beautifully. He made our first dance so special to us.

We truly couldn't be happier with our decision to have Deanna organize and
officiate our elopement. She was extremely helpful in the process of all things
wedding - location, vows, marriage certificates, etc. As most people know,
wedding planning can be very stressful, but with Deanna we did not have an ounce
of stress... we were able to enjoy the process and most importantly the big day!
She was also extremely patient with us, as we made some very last minute
decisions. The ceremony was so beautiful and thoughtful. We decided to include
some Hawaiian traditions at our ceremony like the blowing of the Pū, the
beautiful Oli blessing, a lei exchange, ring blessing, and the sand blending.
She really set the mood and made the experience like no other. We couldn't have
asked for a better day, it was truly PERFECT. She also set us up with a
photographer named Loryn. Loryn was soooo wonderful. We have never had
professional photos taken so we weren't sure how we'd do but she made us feel
very comfortable in front of the camera! She was easy to work with, made us
laugh and made us feel beautiful! We can't wait to see the photos! We recommend
Kona Wedding Officiant to anyone interested in getting married in Hawaii - you
will not regret it

The experience from Kona wedding officiant was fabulous from start to finish.
They responded to every single email in a timely manner and addressed all my
last min requests. Very professional and prompt. The officiant was Tom and he
did a beautiful ceremony, he incorporated "our story" into the ceremony and
shared lots of wisdom. We renewed our vows for our 25th anniversary and again
everything went smooth. If we could give this experience 10 stars we
would!Jeremy and Heidi Beal

The team at Kona Wedding Officiant is outstanding. We highly recommend them to
anyone considering a wedding on the Big Island. They took care of every detail
from start to finish. Kahu Tom was an outstanding Officiant for our sunset
wedding at Kikaua Point. Deanna, the owner was incredibly patient and took the
time to answer all of my questions to ensure I felt comfortable with the entire
process for our destination wedding. Our photographer, Cynthia was fantastic
with our group of 13 and has an artistic eye to capture the best moments. Our
wedding ceremony exceeded our expectations, thanks to the awesome team at Kona
Wedding Officiant.

is an amazing photographer. She worked with our boys and ensured great spots to
make us look fabulous! Margarita was full of warmth and she was very flexible
with including the kids in the ceremony, which made it all much more special.
Our rose petals were refunded for the delay, which was nice. Overall, it was a
phenomenal experience and the wedding turned out far better than we imagined! <3
Mahalo!

We were extremely happy with our wedding and it was all thanks to Deanna! She
was amazing! She was extremely communicative through the process of planning and
all the way through to our “big day”. We appreciate that she took the time to
answer all our questions (which were many) and provided great advice on planning
the perfect ceremony. At the ceremony, Deanna was thoughtful, patient,
intentional, and very kind. We could not be happier with our wedding experience.
Deanna’s team were sweet and very talented. Aubrey did an amazing job capturing
the beautiful moments and we adore her photos. Dennis was fantastic as well,
played ukulele and sang beautifully. He made our first dance so special to us.
100% recommend Kona Wedding Officiant for anyone’s wedding in Hawaii. We are so
grateful to Deanna and her team for making our day so special for us. Thank you!

My wife and I am very satisfied with the services offered by Deanna. Our
ceremony went smoothly and not having to worry about filing permits and things
allowed us to spend our time enjoying the beautiful big island. Our photographer
was great too and made us feel comfortable during our shoot.

My elopement with Lona Wedding Officiant was perfection! Great communication,

Anna Presley

Deanna was absolutely amazing (and Aubrey, our photographer)! The service was
very customizable and perfectly tailored for us. Everything from filing our
marriage certificate to arriving at our wedding location was explained
thoroughly so there were no hiccups at all. Deanna even opened a date for us to
accommodate our travel needs since we were flying in from the mainland. Truly
appreciate Deanna and Kona Wedding Officiant and would absolutely recommend this
service to anyone thinking about eloping on the Big Island! You made our special
day so much more special!
Marcin Imielski

Absolutely fantastic experience and a great service and hospitality, to make our
“Important Day” the most unforgettable day of our life! Thank you so much
Deanna! The contact was fast, professional and very efficient. Deanna has
suggested all the things properly and even helped to surprise Monika (the Wife),
so this was the cherry on this delicious cake! We are definitely recommending
the Kona Wedding Officiant to any couple who would like to make their dreams
come true! Dziękujemy bardzo! (it is in Polish 😉).

Deanna was amazing start to finish! Loved being able to just show up on the
beach and have flowers, leis, a photographer, an our ceremony ready to go. We
liked having a ceremony outline given to us that we were able to customize.
Deanna quickly filed our license as well and the photos turned out better than
we could have imagined. Communication was wonderful leading up to our ceremony.
She quickly answered all questions and our ceremony was exactly what we wanted!
Highly recommend!

We were extremely happy with our wedding and the attention to detail Deanna
provided us for our special day. We had a specific location selected that meant
a great deal to us and Deanna accommodated our wishes immediately. She was
responsive and thorough with her communication and information pre-wedding. Any
questions we had were thoroughly answered and because of her attention to detail
I'm certain, if you are unclear of ideas, she will be able to help you. On our
special day, as it's clear just like any other day, Deanna was kind, generous,
authentic, supportive and gracious. The ceremony was everything we could have
hoped for and Deanna made it that much more special with her broad smile and
kind heart. Deanna's intentionality brought the spirit of Aloha alive and we
felt nothing but love. Vicki and I cannot recommend her highly enough
Kristen Schuch

We decided to elope and planned our wedding over a matter of weeks. Deanna was
very responsive to email, getting back to us within hours and she made planning
easy! We had a wonderful wedding day and achieved the relaxing, joyful,
experience we desired. Additionally, I was impressed with Deanna's
intentionality in her delivery of the wedding ceremony. She clearly was present
with us in reverence of our vulnerability. I would recommend her to anyone!
Douglas Bradley

Deanna was an absolute pleasure to work with and made our elopement in Hawaii
everything we wanted it to be! Deanna has all the critical information you need
to get your marriage license, permits, photography arranged and, of course, her
ceremony was amazing. She takes the time to make it personal and meaningful. If
you are planning a wedding in Kona or the Big Island, you HAVE to check her out.
You will not be disappointed!
Tiffany Trzupek

My husband and I couldn't recommend Deanna enough! We are still talking months
later about how we can't believe that we had such an incredible wedding in the
most beautiful place we've ever seen. The planning process was incredibly easy,
our photos and ceremony were absolutely beautiful, and Deanna was so kind and
organized throughout the entire process. Thank you again for making our special
day so perfect!
Dominoe Trueblood

I absolutely recommend Kona Wedding Officiant for anyone planning to be married
on the big island. Trying to figure out the ins and outs of the process can be
stressful but once we started chatting with Deanna was so helpful with the
entire process and made it extremely easy. She was so responsive to all of my
questions and helped us have the exact wedding ceremony that we'd envisioned.

Deanna was spectacular and our whole experience was amazing! My wife and I took
off on a spur-of-the-moment elopement and within 72 hours of contacting Kona
Wedding Officiant we were standing on the beach getting married and it was
perfect! From the music to the flowers to the photos it was beautiful. We highly
recommend them!
Brent Estes

We were recently married in Hawaii and Deanna and her staff were so
accommodating. The planning and steps for the wedding was made so simple and
easy. The photographer did an outstanding job and we cannot say enough about how
special our day was. It was intimate, personable, spiritual, and loving. the
best part was a rainbow appeared during our service. I highly recommend Kona
Weeding to do you wedding! It was by far for me the best day of my life. I am
still in awe of how perfect and how it almost feels like a dream. It was the
best! Thank you so much for making our wedding perfect! -Brent and Carroll

Wedding Officiant, I promise!
Jeffrey Taylor

We had the ceremony of our dreams with Deanna on the big island of Hawaii.
Everything was perfectly setup, the location was gorgeous, and the photos we got
couldn’t have been better. Deanna created such an incredible energy to make our
wedding feel sacred, as if time stopped and the sun shone just for us in that
moment. I can’t recommend her enough!
Jenny Simmons

We decided to elope after we had booked our vacation to Hawaii. We were leaving
in 3 weeks and weren't sure if we could pull it off. Deanna arranged everything
and made the process incredibly stress-free. We had a beautiful intimate wedding
ceremony at sunset that we will cherish forever. Thank You so much 💓
Katie Whittier

Absolute perfection. We are grateful beyond measure to have hired Deanna's team
for our wedding. They made the experience seamless and eased all the stress of
travel, planning and last-minute surprises. The ceremony itself was elegant and
delivered with SO MUCH CARE. The setting was BEYOND PERFECT. The florals were
AMAZING. Fabulous ukulele music, photography. Literally everything about our
wedding was a dream, and who gets to say that?? Affordable too! 100% recommend
for anyone wanting a romantic, gorgeous way to launch a life together.
Sharrone Morrison

My husband and I were married using Kona Wedding Officiant. I must say the
experience Deanna and her team gave us will be a lasting experience. They all
were very professional and Deanna was prompt during every part of this process.
We were coming in from Houston to partake in a once in a lifetime experience and
they help to make it a success.I would say if you want a beautiful experience
please do not hesitate to hire "Kona Wedding Officiant".Thanks to Deanna and her
team. You guys are AMAZING!!!
Natalia Daza Giraldo

Deanna was amazing!!!! She helped us through every step of the way on our
elopement in the Big Island, she met our needs and customized our ceremony
making our special day so perfect and dreamy! We definitely recommend Kona
Wedding Officiant and one hundred percent would use her services again plus
she’s just a super cool person!!
Kimberly White

Deanna was great, she handles everything for you and sets up your special day.
We added photography & videography and ordered flowers. We just showed up and
enjoyed the day, everything was so stress free.One thing I would have liked was
having the timeline of the day sooner than 1 week out to plan for hair and
makeup a little better.
Ricci Cooper

We truly couldn't be happier with our decision to have Deanna organize and
officiate our elopement. She was extremely helpful in the process of all things
wedding - location, vows, marriage certificates, etc. As most people know,
wedding planning can be very stressful, but with Deanna we did not have an ounce
of stress... we were able to enjoy the process and most importantly the big day!
She was also extremely patient with us, as we made some very last minute
decisions.The ceremony was so beautiful and thoughtful. We decided to include
some Hawaiian traditions at our ceremony like the blowing of the Pū, the
beautiful Oli blessing, a lei exchange, ring blessing, and the sand blending.
She really set the mood and made the experience like no other. We couldn't have
asked for a better day, it was truly PERFECT. She also set us up with a
photographer named Loryn. Loryn was soooo wonderful. We have never had
professional photos taken so we weren't sure how we'd do but she made us feel
very comfortable in front of the camera! She was easy to work with, made us
laugh and made us feel beautiful! We can't wait to see the photos!We recommend
Kona Wedding Officiant to anyone interested in getting married in Hawaii - you
will not regret it!
