- Michele FialaPlanner & OfficiantI create ceremonies that reflect who you truly are — your story, your laughter, your sense of adventure, and the quiet connection that brought you here. Whether you dream of exchanging vows barefoot on the beach, high on a misty mountain trail, on horseback, or waist-deep in turquoise water, I help you begin your marriage doing what you love most, in a place that feels alive with meaning. Our ceremonies welcome all couples — LGBTQIA+, straight, interfaith, spiritual, and secular — because love in every form deserves to be honored and celebrated. I take care of the details so you can be fully present: breathing in the beauty around you, holding hands, and simply saying “I do.” Simple. Joyful. Completely you. Memorable Hawaiʻi Weddings was born from my love of adventure, connection, and the quiet moments in nature that make life — and love — feel most alive. After years of running marathons and guiding visitors, I discovered that the most meaningful experiences are intentional, personal, and shared, as are weddings. As a professional musician, writer, and long-time meditation practitioner, I bring harmony, creativity, and calm presence to every ceremony I craft. My approach is inclusive, respectful, eco-conscious, and deeply personal — designed to reflect not just where you are, but who you are as a couple. Whether you envision an intimate garden gathering, a windswept elopement at sunset, or something beautifully unconventional, I’m here to help you create a ceremony that feels effortless, meaningful, and unforgettable. Because your love story deserves more than a script — it deserves a moment that feels entirely your own.

the way, she guided us with care and made us feel completely secure and confident about the entire process.
She made the ceremony feel so personal and meaningful. Even with the wind trying to add its own personality to the day, Michele brought such a calm, grounding presence that made everything feel intimate and special. It never felt scripted or generic. It felt like our ceremony.
Planning from afar can be stressful, but Michele made everything seamless. She answered our questions, reassured us when we needed it, and made sure we understood each step. That level of care meant more to us than we can express.
Our wedding day was beautiful, heartfelt, and unforgettable, and Michele played such a big role in that. We truly have a special place in our hearts for her and the service she provides.
We are so grateful.

We definitely recommend her!
