he 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 😉).

d thorough with her communication and information pre-wedding. On our special 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. Vicki and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

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!

vided everything for us down to the last detail and went above and beyond in so many ways that I was not expecting! We will forever cherish our wedding and how stress free the whole process was thanks to Deanna. Our ceremony was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined, and we also adored our photographer as well! We are so grateful to Deanna and Kona Wedding Officiant for the best wedding and experience we could have ever asked for!

ommodating and flexible and asking your preference on picture locations and how you envisioned your day. Would definitely recommend Kona Weddings for your elopement if you’re planning on visiting the big island.

great too. Thank you so much!!!

day so simple.

d were very happy with everything! This package was perfect for the small family wedding that we had dreamed of and the best part was how little I had to worry about! I was actually completely stress free on my wedding day, which for me was my main goal. Everything was coordinated perfectly making it easy to just enjoy every moment of our big day. Not to mention that it was picture perfect. We had our ceremony on Old Kona Airport beach at 9am, we loved how few people there were on the beach and how private it was. We even had our small dog, Milo, as our ring bearer. We decided to have 3 bridesmaids and 3 groomsmen, which was easy to go onto the website and add 3 extra bouquets and 3 extra boutonniere to our package. Everything was so organized and easy to do, it couldn’t have been more perfect! I can’t tell you how much I recommend having your wedding with Kona Wedding Officiant, I truly feel that we were able to enjoy our wedding day much more because of how stress free and organized everything was. It was absolutely perfect and everything we dreamed of.

o make our ceremony special. It was important to us to include our immediate family and to follow Hawaiian traditions. It all came together so well. Brittany, our photographer, was fantastic - always around to catch those candid moments as well as posed photos. Deanna is very professional, but so caring. If you want to do it right, contact her.

ly stress free and beautiful experience.

oha. We had the full-on ceremony with the lei's, conch blowing, song, ring blessing, sand....it was magical! And Brittany, the photographer was outstanding. She made us feel so comfortable and the photos are great! Thank you Deanna for being you and surrounding us with love.

hese reviews are 100% accurate. Deanna was very responsive through the process and gave us a lot of help throughout the wedding license process, which helped reduce any pre-wedding stress we had. Deanna was so genuine throughout the wedding ceremony and honestly gave us a ceremony we will remember forever. She also set up photography and flowers for us in advance, and helped with a videographer extremely last minute when we had a change of plans. I would recommend Kona Wedding Officiant a million times over for your perfect Hawaiian wedding!!

on what our needs and wants were. Deanna provided many different options and her website was easy to navigate. We decided on a sunset ceremony and Deanna recommended gorgeous Kukio Beach in North Kona. Even though it’s a public beach (all beaches are in the Big Island), it felt secluded with minimal foot traffic, and it felt perfect for what we were envisioning. The ceremony, including before and after pics, took two hours. The weather was great and Deanna and her photographer were a pleasure to work with. It felt personal and the Hawaiian touches she incorporated (blessing in native Hawaiian, blowing of the conch, blessing of the sand and water) were special and lovely. Getting married is stressful under the best of circumstances, but Deanna makes it easy, straightforward, and about as stress free as possible. We definitely recommend her!

ess, crazy expensive and the bride and groom don't get to be present in the most important day of their lives. We're still glowing (5 months later!) from our private, peaceful and meaningful ceremony. Deanna's attention to detail and professionalism along with her complete calm really made it easy for us to be in the moment. She managed every single detail of everything we could have wanted. Both of us are so happy with our choice to get married in small wedding, early in the morning, next to the gorgeous ocean. We're telling everyone we know to do it and happier every day that we did it this way. From our hike down to the beach, to the mist off the ocean, the ring of flower petals mixed in among the volcanic rock, to our succinct ceremony- it was everything we wanted. Running away to get married took away all the stress of the day and let us focus on what was important to us-- Each Other! Deanna made our day so special and her recommended photographer and photog in training had such good spirits and good vibes and made us really comfortable and it's great to have such lovely pictures to help us remember the day too. We honestly couldn't be happier. We looked at a lot of officiants and read tons of reviews and were very happy we chose Deanna. She was incredibly responsive, tireless and patient in making sure we were completely satisfied with the RIGHT location (but seriously, is there a wrong place to get married in Hawaii?), the perfect words (and many drafts and changes from us), the best place for the weather, and a million other details.

r meaningful ceremony. The whole experience was perfect from start to finish. It was very easy and stress free. The “sand blending” was my favorite part of the ceremony. We highly recommend Deanna for your special day! Much aloha.

ukulele player they were all incredibly professional and pleasant to work with. Thank you for making our day so special and memorable to us, we are forever grateful to you

s to plan and Deanna was booked up on her website. We called and she was able to open up a spot for us on a day we would be in Hawaii. She made things very simple and instructed us on every step of the way. We wanted something simple, but beautiful and personal. She really catered towards us and made it so that we could make our wedding exactly how we wanted! We couldn't be happier! Thanks, Deanna!

to the ceremony, Deanna was warm and welcoming and made our wedding feel truly special. Her prices were extremely reasonable, especially the photography package, and our pictures came out beautiful! If you’re looking to get married on the Big Island, Deanna is the one to go with!
