Margarita will pour her whole heart into your ceremony.
Booking your wedding online requires a huge leap of faith…we couldn’t have been more fortunate than to have had the opportunity to work with Margarita. She made Andrew and I feel at ease from the start. She was flexible and open to incorporating different elements into the ceremony as well as offering suggestions based on her knowledge and experience. She was a great communicator, kind, responsive and respectful. She was thoughtful and lovely throughout the process. I wouldn’t change a thing—Margarita is a 10/10 recommend.

Planning our Big Island traditional Hawaiian ceremony elopement with Margarita Ogarkova of Aloha Beach Weddings was a pleasure.
She worked with us via email to find the perfect location. She gave great enunciation and explanation of the Hawaiian aspects (ti leaf, lava rock, unity sand, etc.), for ohana to follow along effortlessly. She's really good with the conch too! 🐚 Mahalo, Margarita! 🌺

It was the most beatiful and memorable ceremony in our life. Mix of the scenery on the beach with all hawaiian traditions made our wedding even more unforgettable.
Also the contact before, during preparations, and after it was great. Margarita helped us with arranging all necessary documents.

We flew in from Oahu to Kona for a small and simple beach wedding. I read multiple reviews of many officiants and decided to book services with Aloha Beach Weddings. We booked for the officiant services plus the photo and video package.
I am so happy that I made the right decision. Our experience with Aloha Beach Weddings was a 10 out of 10.
Margarita was amazing. She was delightful, patient, and so kind. Our ceremony went smoothly with her coordination. She was flexible and accommodating so that I could have my dream wedding.
Prior to our arrival, she answered all my questions in a timely manner and explained the wedding process very well so that I felt calm and comfortable on my actual wedding day.
She also had a wonderful and kind photographer with her named Kara. Together, they were an awesome team and they were able to make our special occasion a day to remember.

Margarita is wonderful. she is warm, professional, communicative and was willing to do things in the style we wanted, after asking good questions to help us figure that out ourselves.
we opted not to write our own vows, and she had something really lovely prepared. we added photography and a small, tropical bouquet to our ceremony, and are so happy we did; the bouquet was gorgeous (i only regret i couldn't preserve and keep it forever), and the photographer accompanying her, Tetiana, was also wonderful. Margarita connected with my sister to share with us the videos and photos she took herself while Tetiana worked, and Tetiana provided us with a handful of beautiful pictures later that evening so we had some images to admire and share with others. they both asked my permission before sharing our images on their social media pages (instagram: @alohabeachwedding and @tetiana__me_photography), which we appreciated. (and importantly, Margarita filed our paperwork with the state in a timely manner.)
thank you so much, Rev. Margarita!

We were truly honored that Margarita, Aloha Beach Weddings, officiated our vow renewal. It has always been my dream to visit Hawaii, and our first trip there was so memorable with our ceremony. Margarita was wonderful to communicate with, she was on time, and patiently waited for our guests to arrive. She even took pictures of our family! The leis that she includes are divine and was the perfect touch to our ceremony. All in all, it was a breeze to coordinate and there was absolutely nothing for for us to do other than show up.

I highly recommend Margarita! She provided helpful instructions on what we need to do to get married in Hawaii, and recommended a gorgeous beach for the ceremony. I had asked for the minimalist plan, which I knew came with photos on my own device, but I was not expecting the amount of photos and videos she took! The ceremony was beautiful and felt like somehow she knew us. She did a photo shoot at the end, and didn’t seem to be in a rush to get out. We both left the ceremony gushing, as it was so much more than we expected. Thank you!

Margarita is everything we could have hoped for in making our wedding the best it could be. She won't let you down.
She kept in touch with us as soon as she had our details and guided us through a bit of concern regarding the weather. In the end we pushed our ceremony back one day but Margarita took every ounce of stress out of the situation for us. She liaised with all the other professionals involved in the ceremony to make the move happen and for that we will be eternally grateful.
The ceremony itself was so beautiful. We had so many gorgeous elements that just seemed so much more meaningful to us personally, compared to a Christian ceremony.
Margarita's choice of vows for us, her service delivery, demeanor were perfect. We genuinely felt like she wanted to be here and share this with us and that's such a special thing to be given on such an important occasion.
We'll always have great memories of the day as it was our wedding and Margarita will be a big part of those memories too.
Thank you again Margarita, from the bottom of our hearts, we wish you every success. We hope anyone reading this will choose you to make their ceremony as rememberable as ours was.

Margarita took care of every last detail and everything was was absolute perfection. The wording of the ceremony was spiritually beautiful. My flowers were stunning and the location was breathtaking! She recommended Big Island Hair and Makeup and they were phenomenal as well.
Tetiana, the photographer is equally amazing and I am absolutely obsessed with the beautiful moments she was able to capture!
We would like to thank you both, from the bottom of our hearts, for making our wedding everything we could have dreamed. Ya’ll took every bit of the stress and anxiety associated with planning a wedding and allowed us to experience only the beauty and love that are meant for such a special day❤️

I was so very happy with Aloha Beach Weddings and in particular, Margarita. We had planned our vow renewal for over a year and at the last minute we found out that the beach we picked couldn't be used. I was panicked. Needless to say Margarita was amazing and helped us pick a new beach, perfect for our small ceremony, with less then 24 hours to spare. The vow renewal went amazingly well, absolutely beautiful beach and the whole thing was picture perfect. From the initial contact to after the renewal, I cannot say enough about how great everything was.

I planned a vow renewal ceremony on the Big Island to celebrate our 25th Anniversary. Initially Rev. Stefan was easy to communicate with via email and text and then he referred us to Rev. Margarita who would be performing the ceremony. Margarita was also very easy to communicate with via text/phone leading up to the ceremony and then afterwards when sending pictures and videos of the ceremony to us. She was lovely and the ceremony was just perfect. We really appreciated how she let us incorporate our children into the ceremony and how she set us all up for beautiful photo opportunities after the ceremony. This was such a beautiful moment for us to come back to where we had our honeymoon 25 years earlier and renew our vows in front of our kids. It was a moment that we will cherish and never forget. Thank you Margarita for giving us such a beautiful memory ❤️

About 3 months ago my (now) husband and I decided we wanted to have a very small wedding in Hawaii, just us and 8 guests. Initially we looked at using the resort where we would be staying to handle the planning but it quickly became obvious that they cater to more typically sized ceremonies. We were looking for someone who could plan an intimate, fun, and stress-free wedding and Aloha Beach Weddings was the perfect fit for that task.
Margarita was very responsive, friendly, and thoughtful. When we needed recommendations she had the perfect ones for us. She presented us with a list of venues and took care of the required permit. She is normally the officiant but we already had someone in mind and it was no problem at all. The day of the ceremony we were presented with a gorgeous flower circle as our altar, beautiful flower leis, a lovely hula dancer, and a talented ukulele player. Everyone had a vibrant energy, including the photographer who kept us laughing as we did our post-ceremony shoot. Our special day was exactly what we sought: beautiful, intimate, and stress-free. Thank you Margarita and Aloha Beach Weddings!

From start to finish the process was simple. I appreciated my questions answered and the consideration taken in our particular situation. Margarita was a delight! So grateful for our beautiful ceremony! We chose Hawaiian Style and added on the blessing of the rings. Loved to hear what everything meant. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. If you’re looking for beautiful simplicity, look no further!!

My wife and I were so moved by the care and wisdom that Margarita put into our beach wedding. From the planning — we went with the beach she recommended and loved it — to the ceremony itself and the amazing photos she took, the experience was thoroughly enjoyable, meaningful and beautiful. She even hand-made our stunningly gorgeous plumeria leis! I recommend her to anyone wanting a moving, beautiful wedding ceremony. Thank you, Margarita!

We absolutely like the wedding! Rev. Margarita is amazing and so considerate to print the license for us because we are in a very hurry and also suggest a last minute location change due to weather. We found an amazing place in A bay and the sunset view is beautiful. Rev. Margarita is very professional and led the ceremony so smoothly. Highly recommended!!

The best!!!! Rev. Margarita did an amazing job officiating our wedding. It was hassle free and was absolutely perfect for our family of 14. We highly recommend the photo flower package deluxe because it is worth every penny. The whole team was so accommodating professional, and efficient.

She did an amazing job for our 8th Wedding Anniversary and Vow Renewal. She recommend a nice place for the ceremony: a beach with turtles and excellent ocean view. Very professional, friendly, responsive! Thank you, Margarita!
Mahalo!

Margarita was fantastic! We had to change our vow renewal day and time because of bad weather. She suggested a perfect last minute location which ended up being perfect! The ceremony was amazing and she incorporated so much of Hawaii into it. Highly recommend her company!
