d are so thankful to have gotten a recommendation to work with Julienne. She is exactly the type of person you want to wed you -she is the epitome of a warm hug and it felt like we had known her for so long even though we had just met. She made everything so easy and was wonderful to work with. The ceremony itself was beautiful. She has a couple of different options for vows depending on what your preferences are as a couple. For us it was perfect because while we aren't very religious we still wanted something meaningful and poignant and to have a Hawaiian blessing was so special and something we'll always cherish. Thank you, Julienne, for being such an integral part of our elopement/babymoon!

rough the process, jumped on a call with us to get to know us better. Really, she is the best person you can have for your wedding. The ceremony was truly magical, she made sure we feel calm and comfortable. An experience of a lifetime. Thank you, Julienne, for making our day special.
Cannot recommend Jules enough! She made every step of the wedding planning process smooth and easy. Her experience with the island of Lana'i and the Lana'i Cat Sanctuary, as well a...
s our mutual love of cats made her the perfect person to officiate our special day! Communication was prompt (even with our 5-hour time zone difference) and thorough, and she has an extraordinary ability to connect with everyone she interacts with (speaking from a very introverted person!) Our ceremony was short and sweet, and it was everything we could have hoped it would be--she even incorporated our three cats into the ceremony. To top it all off, she surprised us with Krispy Kreme donuts after the ceremony! Some day we will make our way back to Hawai'i and will definitely be asking Jules to officiate our vow renewal ceremony!
We would like to recommend Julienne as a wedding officiant to anyone who wants to get married on Maui. After our first enquiry, she got in touch very quickly and arranged a video c...
all to get to know us. She gave us expert advice and suggested exactly what we wanted. The contact with her was always uncomplicated, very helpful and her answers came very quickly.
We had a simple, short wedding ceremony at sunrise. It was perfect, just as we had imagined. Julienne's words were wonderful and a great fit, even though we hadn't chosen a customised ceremony. She interacted really well with our little girl and included her in the ceremony. We would want to do our wedding with her again every time.
Highly recommended!!! :) we will definitely contact her if we return to Maui for a wedding anniversary.
Julienne married us on April 24, 2024 at Palauea Beach in Maui! We knew from the first moment we met her on zoom that she would be our officiant. She made the whole process seamles...
s, which not going to lie we were worried about planning a wedding with a 6 hour time difference. She sent us a sample ceremony and helped us make decisions along the way (adding lei ceremony, whether or not to do personal vows), we felt so at ease with the entire process. On our wedding day, Julienne made sure that we were comfortable and took the time to chat with us before we started the ceremony. She made the entire ceremony feel so special for us, we couldn't of pictured anyone else officianting our big day! Thank you Julienne for being a part of our dream wedding day <3
Jules was great! She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and she just knew exactly how to handle everything without any extra stress for us. An extra is ...

Julienne is simply amazing. She married us on April 4th, 2024, at the beautiful Po'olenalena beach. We ourselves are in the wedding industry and were very selective about our offic...
iant. And Julienne exceeded all expectations. She has such a warm demeanor and a great voice to make the ceremony perfect. The ceremony itself was simply special. We would book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for such a wonderful officiant. Carolin and Philipp
I cannot recommend Julienne enough! When I first reached out to her she instantly wanted to set up a time to speak on the phone/zoom to get to know about me and my now husband! Aft...
er speaking with her and reading one of her sample ceremonies I knew Julienne was the perfect person for the job! She took the time to get to know both of us to create a ceremony that was geared toward us and our relationship and it made the occasion so special and memorable! Julienne tweaked and edited the ceremony as much as I requested (luckily not much editing needed to be done because she nailed it on the initial draft) We have already talked about a vow renewal in the next 5-10 years and Julienne would be the one I reach out to for it! If you are looking for someone to make your ceremony extremely memorable and special I highly recommend Julienne!!
Reverend Jules surpassed all our hopes as the officiant for our wedding. Her gracious demeanor and articulate expressions crafted a ceremony brimming with love and significance. Ju...

of our questions about our ceremony and the legal requirements. At first, I did not want a personalized ceremony but after working with Jules I'm so glad we decided to! Our ceremony was beautiful and Jules included details about us that made our day just that much more special. Jules was a calm and loving presence on our wedding day - I'd choose her all over again!
We travelled with a very small group of our extended family from New Zealand to Maui to get married. Jules did an awesome job of planning the ceremony for us, adding in all the ex...
tra little things we asked for. She was also a great help to explain the Hawaiian laws and customs for a wedding in Hawaii, even helping us track down an alternative agent to get our wedding licence. She helped make the day so special for us.

for her! She helped me find so many vendors and is such an amazing resource on the island. Julienne was so helpful with things she certainly did not need to help with. Julienne is a lovely soul who truly enjoys what she does. I recommend her with the highest regards! Thank you so much Julienne for making Marc and I's wedding day the best day of our lives, we will never forget you!
Aloha! Jules was amazing! Everything was perfect and I loved how she included my kids! It was as if she was ohana! Would totally recommend! Mahalo!
We feel so lucky and blessed to have Julienne as our officiant and worked with her on our wedding day. She is kind, warm, patient, thoughtful, energetic, and professional that we c...
ould not ask for more. She was responsive to our questions, listened to our needs and customized our ceremony to fit our style. She also shared lots of useful tips and information regarding to leis, marriage license, weather, and locations and so on. On the wedding day, she arrived at the beach even before us for better preparation! We were pretty nervous at first and Julienne made us feel relaxed by practicing with us patiently, and the ceremony went smoothly. Her chant made the ceremony special and stunning which we will always remember! After the ceremony, she attentively tracked the marriage license status and kept us posted. Thank you, Julienne! We are so grateful and look forward to working with you again on our anniversaries in the future.
Rev Julienne made our special day even more special! She officiated us in such a meaningful and thoughtful way. There was a questionnaire we filled out so she could get to know
us ...
better as a couple and what type of ceremony we wanted. She even let us choose what kind of attire we’d like her for her to wear. Communication with her was very easy. She gave us various recommendations on ceremony sites depending on where we were staying and was willing to commute. Overall, she was very sweet and kind. Couldn’t have picked a better officiant for our day.
We were so happy with Rev Jules officiating our wedding on Maui! From the beginning, Jules was easy to contact and made the process so easy for my husband and I. We met virtually t...
wice before the ceremony and had assistance writing our custom vows for the event. She listened to our stories and was able to create the most beautiful and personalized speech for the ceremony that felt true to us and our families. Jules has a positive and relaxing energy to her that made us feel comfortable and safe on our special day. I would recommend her to anyone getting married on the island.
Thank you, Reverend Jules!

Reverend Julienne is incredible. She married my husband and I on a Catamaran in Maui in front of friends and family, flawlessly. Beforehand, she took the time to video chat and get...
to know us, and in addition, she supplemented us with a great survey in which pinpointed exactly how we would like the ceremony conducted. What I really loved was how the survey allowed us to choose what kind of environment we were searching for, whether that be traditional or modern, playful or formal, and spiritual, religious, or earthy (etc.). She sent us a written format of what she would say, allowing us to review or make changes. (We made no changes). I was impressed and grateful for her care. She also helped us with where and how to get our license and even sent me to a helpful page in which would make it easy for me to get all of my documents changed to my new last name. I will always call Reverend Julienne a caring friend. I hope to see her again one day! Mahalo, Jules.
Wonderful and memorable experience with Rev Julienne. She worked with us to create a personalized ceremony that incorporated the elements that we were looking for. It felt special ...

sonality was the perfect match! She really took the time to listen to our history and wove it into a beautiful, modern ceremony. She even took the time to get to know our families, which really meant the world to us. I look forward to meeting up with her again, for a vowel renewal in a few years. Thanks Julienne!

ble kind and genuine when she took the time to get to know us and create a personalized ceremony that would suit us best. My wife cried when she read the first draft. I highly recommend her!
Julienne is the best. She actually wanted to listen to our couple's story and wrote a very personal, tailored script just for us. Everything she said for us in the ceremony was so ...
soul-touching and we will definitely cherish it forever and live as we vowed to.
She is easy to talk to, supportive, and most importantly, loving. As a gay couple, we read many officiants' profiles carefully to find someone who would sincerely be happy for us without any judgment and Julienne was the right person. I am sure she'll be kind and loving to all couples but especially if you're gay, I just can't recommend her enough.
Should we ever have a chance to visit the beautiful island of Maui again and renew our vows, we will definitely do it with Julienne.
Rev. Julienne gave us our perfect island wedding. She completely embodies the Aloha spirit. From the location to the ceremony itself, it was exactly what we imagined. We highly r...

iian ceremony complete with a lei exchange, unity sand ceremony, a blessing of the rings with ocean water, and a surprise blow of a conch shell to seal the deal! She walked us through everything that needed to be done and was genuinely so excited for us. Her words were carefully chosen and individualized; it made it seem like she had known us for years. Julienne touched our hearts and brought us both to tears in the ceremony and we truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect person to officiate our wedding! She even took some pictures on her phone of us so we could send them to family back home. Mahalo Julienne!
Rev Julienne is THE ONE!!! She's extremely easy to talk to, made sure our ceremony was written exactly how we wanted it, and showed true aloha spirit!
COMMUNICATION - Extremely ea...
sy to reach by email and phone. Responded quickly every time!
FLEXIBILITY - We had a couple changes to how we wanted the ceremony, and Rev Julienne incorporated each one gracefully and timely.
TIMELINESS - Rev Julienne confirmed our meeting location the day before and even showed up early! Truly appreciate not needing to stress over this!
PREPARATION - Above and beyond expectations. She came with the needed document in the outfit we requested, and even brought a little bluetooth speaker / our chosen first dance song to make our moment even more special.
She truly made us feel like a family and we wouldn't have wanted to get married any other way!
Julienne is hands down the best officiant! She created a beautiful ceremony for us that was even better than we could have ever hoped for. She is bubbly and kind and just wonderful...
