Kona Wedding Officiant Reviews
Share your thoughts with other couples
If you are searching for an officiant, stop here! Deanna made our elopement all I could have asked for. With Covid altering any plans we had before, we weren't sure what we wanted--except to make our love official. Deanna made it all no stress,...
meaningful and perfect! Planning, paying, revision, wedding license, location -- all done via email and a couple quick phone calls.
I loved the Hawaiian touch to the wedding--from the prayer, blowing of the shell and her beautiful song. Not to mention the scenery and the flowers.
Deanna took a few photos for us--but we also hired her recommended photographer. Can't wait to get those photos.
Thanks Deanna. We appreciate you.

Dear Tricia and Dale,
Mahalo for your kind words! It was a pleasure to be part of your intimate wedding ceremony. Many blessings to you both.
Much Aloha,
Deanna
Beautiful wedding, very moving ceremony, wonderful location (Hapuna Beach). This is our favourite place in the world, we're so glad Deanna could perform our ceremony there. Her singing and floral decorations were beautiful. The incorporation of...
Hawaiian spiritual elements made the ceremony very meaningful, and felt authentic even though my wife and I are not Hawaiian, we could feel the meaningfulness.
Deanna was amazing, she took care of a lot of things for us, coordinating the photographer, the florist, the permits, setting up our interview to get the license, etc. Our plans were always very much in flux due to Covid, so we couldn't plan much in advance, but everything was smooth and easy with Deanna.
The elopement packages were ideal for us since our families and friends couldn't fly to one spot, due to Covid. She offered a range of packages, so we could have exactly what we needed (flowers, photographer) but nothing more excessive than that.
Strongly recommend Kona Wedding Officiant for anyone planning to get married on the Big Island!

Deanna was absolutely PERFECT and made our special day one that we will remember and cherish forever! Our wedding was originally scheduled for September 2020, but had to be rescheduled for November due to the pandemic, but Deanna worked with us...
every step of the way, encouraging us and helping us to continue planning our Hawaiian wedding! She patiently answered every email, phone call and kept us abreast of Hawaii's safety guidelines. When we finally met Deanna in person, her bright smile and precious temperament keep us calm throughout the entire ceremony! (which was the best ever!) The flower aisle, and heart flowers were gorgeous, as well as, our beautiful boutiques and leis! Everything we requested was met and exceeded our every expectation even during a pandemic! The Best Wedding Officiant Ever!

Dear Jay and Brandi,
Mahalo nui loa for letting me be part of your special day. So many blessings to you and wishing you a lifetime of happiness!
Much Aloha,
Deanna
My wife and I decided to elope on our recent trip to Hawaii's big island. We contacted Deanna a few days prior to departing, and with short notice, she efficiently and helpfully aided us in organizing our ceremony. She helped us with some of ...
the logistics (obtaining a marriage license/certificate which is surprisingly simple!) and gave us recommendations for the best spot to make our ceremony a beautiful and private event. She has a lot of options, from a very simple and relatively inexpensive ceremony, but we opted to add on a photo/videographer for an additional (and reasonable) fee. My wife and I were well taken care of by the entire team for a perfect, short, sweet, and beatific sunset ceremony at Kukio beach. Deanna put together a ceremony that was personalized to our preferences (spiritually, physically and emotionally!) She is not only a professional, but also a flexible and kind soul who will make your wedding, elopement or renewal of vow ceremony one to remember! I highly recommend her services.

Much Aloha,

Can I give more than 5 stars?!
First of all- the planning process was so easy. Deanna was always very responsive and prompt. She provided everything that we needed via email, even directions and links to everything we needed to do. She made us...
feel like we were important; not just another client.
Second of all- our ceremony was so special. It was just my husband and I on the beach. So naturally it was special for us, but Deanna’s reverence for the ceremony and vibe made a safe space for us to really be 100% in the moment. She wasn’t just reading a script or going through the motions, but instead, joining two souls in union for life. It was that kind of a vibe, and it was beautiful.
This is my second marriage, and the first time I did the big wedding, and the flowers, and guests, yada yada....but it did not even compare to the simple intimacy that this ceremony offered. It was truly perfect.

Deanna was such a blessing to have officiate our wedding. From day 1 of meeting her, it had felt that we knew her for many years. She made both my husband and I feel so comfortable when expressing our nervousness from walking down the aisle to ...
reciting our vowes. One thing I loved about Deanna was, that with her background in wedding photography and living in Hawaii, she was able to capture perfect pictures. I would highly recommend her as your Officiant and/or photographer for your tropical destination wedding!
