Are you looking for an authentic Hawaiian wedding? Stop searching because you have found the PERFECT officiant with Koa and Kahiko Traditions! Working with Koa was an absolute pleasure from the initial meeting all the way through our ceremony and all the work he did for us afterwards. Koa’s personal touches greatly improved the vision that we had for our ceremony and we would not have had such a perfect day without him! 10/5 recommend! Mahalo Koa! – Mr. & Mrs. Masterman.

Koa was the perfect fit for our ceremony. He made everything so much easier from start to finish, helping me plan things I didn’t even realize I needed. We felt so comfortable through the process, and felt like he really helped us enjoy the experience even more. I would 10/10 recommend Kahiko Traditions !!

We cannot say enough good things about this experience! We had a Lōkahi Kahiko Vow Renewal Ceremony at Roca's Retreat and everything was PERFECT. Communication with Koa prior to the event was seamless. We told him what we would like and he easily incorporated it into the ceremony. We wanted beautiful haku crowns and Koa was able to make the most beautiful head pieces for us. It felt special wearing something handmade and created with love. It was the most memorable day that will remain in our hearts forever- the blowing of the pu (conch shell); the blessings; the Ti Leaf Maile ceremony; sharing the breath of life... everything was perfect and we are forever grateful to Koa for making this so special for us! Koa has such a tender heart, filled with compassion. His genuine love for his culture and his ability to share so much of himself is invaluable!

Aloha! Lori and Kenny, Mahalo nui loa for your heartfelt words and for entrusting me with...
the honor of officiating your Lōkahi Kahiko Vow Renewal Ceremony at Roca's Retreat. 🌺 Your review has warmed my heart, and I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity to be a part of your special day. It brings immense joy to know that the experience resonated with you both, from the seamless communication before the event to the creation of beautiful haku crowns. Crafting those headpieces was a labor of love, and I'm delighted they added a special touch to your ceremony. The moments you've described—the blowing of the pu, the blessings, the Ti Leaf Maile ceremony, and the shared breath of life—all hold a special place in my heart as well. Your appreciation fuels my passion for sharing the beauty of the Lōkahi ceremony. Your kind words about my tender heart and love for culture touch me deeply. It is my genuine joy to infuse each ceremony with the compassion and authenticity that I hold dear. Your gratitude is cherished, and I feel honored to have played a role in creating a day that will forever reside in your hearts. Wishing you continued love, joy, and beautiful adventures together. If ever your hearts call for another celebration, I'm here with open arms. With heartfelt aloha, Koa

Kahiko Traditions went above and beyond our expectations. We cannot thank Kekoa enough for supporting us the entire week leading up to our wedding. We got so many compliments about the ceremony and how special it was. He really captured the importance of our families being the foundation of us as a couple, how we've grown throughout our relationship, and highlighted our love of travel + experiencing different cultures. If you’re looking for an officiant who will take the time to get to know you to personalize your ceremony, Kahiko Traditions is it!
