Austin was amazing for our wedding. We wanted some different and memorable for our wedding and did just that. He surpassed what I expected and made the ceremony the highlight of our day it was just beautiful. It was my husband and I favorite part of the day we still can't stop talking about. If you decide to go with Austin make sure when you do his questionnaire get very detailed.
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.
