Pia is so wonderful! He is incredibly kind, warm, and has a gentle and beautiful personality. He worked with us to customize our ceremony to make it a perfect fit for us. He shared...
his Aloha spirit with our guests, and did a beautiful land acknowledgement to Hawaii. We had asked Pia to include a moment for us to turn and look at our guests to take in all of the faces of our loved ones who were there to support us - it was one of our favourite moments at the ceremony. So many of our guests expressed how much they loved Pia and the words he shared during the ceremony. Highly recommend!
We were so blessed to have Pia officiate our wedding. He is a warm, kind, beautiful soul. Our wedding was magic in large part due to him. His words integrated the magic of Hawaii t...
hat we had been seeking for our ceremony. We are so grateful for him.
Pia Aluli is AWESOME! He officiated our vow renewal beachfront in Paia on a particularly rainy day. The clouds cleared and it was perfect! He was amazing to work with. He perf...
ormed a beautiful ceremony, complete with Hawaiian tradition and customized for us. Thie planning was all done long-distance and we did not actually meet until the beginning of our ceremony.. It was spiritual and just beautiful.
A memory we will cherish forever. Thank you Pia.
I think Pia is a terrific guy and is probably very good at doing his scripted ceremony. We went out on a limb and customized our ceremony and vows with his consent, but he ended up...
giving us the wrong vows, stumbling over and forgetting complete lines, and speaking so softly that it was hard for people in the back to hear (we only had 20 people in a small chapel.)
His conch blowing and ukelele playing were wonderful, his Aloha spirit and smile are contagious, and his warm personality is apparent before you even shake his hand. He will tell you that you don't need a rehearsal because he does this all the time, but I would definitely do a rehearsal if I could do it all over again.
Follow up: I reached out to Pia a week after the wedding to let him know that he gave us the wrong vows, but he never returned my message. :-(
Pia was great. We are so happy that he is the one who officiated our wedding. He met with us before the wedding and took a genuine interest in getting to know us. He was extreme...
ly professional and so nice. Our ceremony was perfect. We both feel he was the perfect choice to marry us and we are so glad he was a part of our day!
Pia was so great to work with! My husband met with Pia before the ceremony to let him know why type of ceremony we preferred. At times when we thought it would be awkward, Pia ease...
d the tension and made us all smile and laugh. He is so easy going and said some wonderful words at our ceremony. I highly recommend Pia to those who want a non-denominational officiant.
Pia Aluli was a really easy going person to work with and has a great energy to add to your ceremony. He's very flexible and makes you feel very comfortable. I would highly recom...
mend him to officiate your wedding.
We were so fortunate to be referred to Pia, he was perfect for us! I would highly recommend Pia to anyone looking to get married on Maui!
I came acrossed Pia from various reviews I had seen on photographers actually, I checked out his website and thought he seemed great so I sent him an email and he responded so quic...
kly. I loved that he is traditional but not over the top with garb ( not that its bad, just not what I wanted) he is SO sweet and accommodating, he really made our ceramony so special with the conch blowing and song, I bawled my eyes out! I will always have such great memories of our wedding and that's largly because of Pia's role. DEFINITELY use this guy :)
We wanted a non denominational wedding and so my Wedding Planner recommended Pia. My Dad really wanted input into the officiant and wanted to make sure he was a good fit so he spok...
e with him on the phone. Once we got the ok from my dad we booked Pia and we are so glad we did. He was the sweetest warmest loveliest man, made us feel really comfortable and we are so happy we chose him!
Pia was warm and friendly. Communication with him up to the date was easy. Pia took care of the beach permit, he sang, and worked with me to make sure I had the ceremony my husband...
and I wanted. Pia has a kind smile and is exactly the kind of officiant we wanted!
I loved Pia. We wanted a completely non-hawaiian wedding even though we were married in hawaii and he offered us just that. We completely customized our ceremony and he did an exce...
llent job memorizing and making it sound seamless. The only thing I didn't like was the hawaiian chant he did in the beginning. He's a great man! I would book him again in a heart beat!
When we were planning our wedding we knew that we wanted our ceremony short and sweet, but we also wanted a ceremony very reminiscent of Hawaii. Pia was wonderful, he had a great p...
rogram and was able to sing for us as I was walking down the aisle and when the ceremony was over, making our day extremely special and memorable.
He was very personable. He scheduled to meet with us before the wedding, which put us more at ease and gave us more of an idea what to expect. He's a really nice guy and did a gr...
eat job to keep the ceremony light hearted and meaningful.
Complete with conch shell and hawaiian chant.
Pia is the happiest man I know! He made my husband feel so at ease when I thought for a moment he might not show up. He is professional and organized but not stuffy. His local tou...
ch is perfect for a maui wedding. He is not only a talented and natural officiant, he has an amazing voice and sang and played the hawaiian wedding song as I walked down to the beach. He made our day beautiful and personal!
If you want a cultural Hawaiian wedding, Pia is must have officiant. Very one on the island respects him and his credentials. I was so pleased with Pia that he me made me so relax...
ed that I didn't cry in the ceremony. The best!!!
Pia was great!
