Simple Kona Beach Weddings

ryland and Arizona,) a wedding in either location meant travel & costly expenses for many of our family members. We decided that we were going to have the wedding we wanted, and it was ok if our family could not attend. We wanted something beautiful, yet simple. Becky with Simple Kona Beach Weddings was the perfect choice. She was very attentive and always communicated. She promptly responded to emails and once we got to the island, and met her, I knew that this would be the wedding that I had always dreamt about. She was absolutely the right person to make my dream come true. We went with the “No Brainer” package and choose Hannah C as our photographer (she was just as amazing as well, our “sneak peek” of our photo package is awesome. I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures!) Our ukulele player was phenomenal, Becky had asked us if we had any recommendations on song choices and we did not give any (even though my husband had sent me the “Guava Jelly” song and jokingly said it was our wedding song,) we never actually requested it, and he played it!! It was meant to be! Becky’s ceremony, her blessings, Matt (Becky’s Husband) taking tons of photos, Hannah C, the Musician (sorry, I did not get his name) & and the beautiful sunset in Kona made this evening something that we will always cherish.

in good hands. She was happy to find out information for me and respond very quickly so I wasn’t hanging out for an answer. Working with Becky was a lovely and stress-free experience. The flowers provided were absolutely beautiful and smelt divine and I also had a haku made which really made it special. The spot that Becky chose was picture perfect and more than I could ever dream of (and definitely nothing like it in Australia!). Becky organised all the paperwork that we needed and guided us through the application process. She also sorted out the beach passes that we needed for the day and provided maps and directions on how to get there which were incredibly helpful for people not from Hawai’i. Matt was also great and took a tonne of photos for us on my camera so we didn’t have to wait for the professional photos and were just as stunning. Becky kept the whole evening light and fun and made it incredibly special. If you’re reading this and are considering eloping, I can’t recommend using Becky enough. Even though you’re away from friends and family, it felt like they were all there and like we had known Becky and Matt a lot longer than we had and that they actually cared about us. They made our night extraordinary.

mmended a location for is based on what we wanted a Nd it was perfect for our day when we saw it for the first time 2 days prior to us getting married. Becky took care of everything that we needed so we could have exactly as she advertises a "Simple Kona Beach Wedding". Thank you Becky and Matt for the perfect day.

spent some time on Skype talking through everything. Any concerns we had about trusting a stranger on the other side of the world totally melted away. Ash and I totally embraced the no brainer package- purely because we knew we could trust Becky. I don’t say this lightly- but I wouldn’t change a single thing about our day. It was perfect. Our vows were just perfect for us as was the Ceremony. Many of our guests commented that they loved the ceremony as well. Our Lei’s and flowers were utterly stunning. I opted for a Haku as well, and it was absolutely beautiful. We worked with Dawn as our photographer (organised by Becky) who is nothing short of incredible. Becky (and Matt) stayed with us while we had photos with Dawn and took photos on their (and my) phone- we had about 400 photos sent to us after that had been taken on the phones. Becky helped me navigate the Four Seasons to book the barefoot on the beach table. We chose this based on Becky’s suggestion- IT WAS INCREDIBLE. We had the executive chef of the Four Seasons as our private chef for the evening. Everyone was full of amazing food by the end of the night. Becky is an absolute professional. Our paperwork had been submitted the night of our wedding (so we were officially official). She has an incredible sense for what will work. I seriously recommend trusting her to plan your wedding- she’s an absolutely excellent wedding planner and celebrant. From the bottom of our hearts, Thank you Becky.

isk on this stranger; what an amazing person she turned out to be. We are so thankful to have found her. Becky was very responsive, thoughtful, helpful, and all around great throughout the entire process. On our wedding day we met Becky and her husband Matt in person. Again, she (in this case, they) didn’t disappoint. Becky did a wonderful job officiating our wedding and even stayed around afterwards while we were going through our photo session (we hired one of the photographers recommend by Becky) and took several pictures of us with her phone and shared them with us later on that day (over 100 pictures). Also, Matt used one of our phones to record the ceremony; the videos turned out great. Finally, as a same sex couple we couldn’t be happier with the way we were treated. We felt comfortable and welcomed. Becky and Matt (and Josh – the photographer) truly demonstrated happiness for us. So; if you are planning a wedding in the Big Island, I strongly recommend you work with Becky, she will help you to make your day unforgettable. Becky and Matt - thank you, thank you, thank you!

at we were looking for. It was perfect!

odating every step of the way, she even helped us make a few changes to our vows the night before the ceremony. She made the entire process easy and Tim and I are so thankful for such a stress fee day thanks to Becky. She truly loves what she does and it comes through in every way.

friendliness of the both of you. Seriously, it was everything we could've dreamed of and more. You two treated us just like family and we couldn't have felt any more welcome. You both made this experience very memorable. Keep doing what you guys are doing, we think it's the best. Once again, Mahalo for making our day the best day. :)

fe! I have no clue how to plan a regular party let alone a wedding celebration! From food to flowers to photographer to music to table/chair rentals, Becky knows the best people for the job! She did EVERYTHING! She was there literally from the start when we had nothing planned until the end of the party. Then even after the party, she and her husband were the first to share the best photos!

as on her service list were wonderful as well. She made our day very special by providing a beautiful and unique ceremony! She did not leave any details out and her customer service skills are outstanding. I could not be happier with her services! I totally recommend her to anyone getting married in Kona.

with patience and she suggested several touches to the ceremony that we absolutely loved. We trusted her judgement since she knew the area well and everything went so amazing, even better than we all expected. Several guests came up to me and mentioned how beautiful and touching the ceremony was and what a great job Becky did. Definitely go with Becky if you want a stress free and lovely wedding!

y, but WOW! It was beautiful and it was like it was written especially for us. She was helpful in arranging for the leis we wanted and they were spectacular. Becky helped make our day everything we could have asked for and more!

hat Becky wanted us to have the wedding that we envisioned. She was very helpful giving guidance, and very patient with all of our questions. She recommended an amazing local artist, Matt Hanato, to play and sing at our wedding. (His music was the perfect accompaniment to the beautiful scenery.) Robert Malovic was the professional photographer that took amazing pictures of our sunset wedding, and Becky's husband also took over 200 pictures that added to our memories of the special occasion! Becky made our wedding everything that we could wish for, and we feel so blessed to have had her marry us!

d promptly and thoroughly. She was very accommodating to our requests and needs. The beach location she set up was a tropical paradise. The whole ceremony was beautiful, relaxed and unique. It truly was an experience we will forever cherish. We highly recommend working with Becky!

and they were the most beautiful arrangements I have ever seen. Every one of our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the ceremony was and how Becky was the best officiant they have seen. If you are doing research on who to pick to officiate your special day, look no further there is no one else on the Big Island that comes close to how amazing Becky is.

tset, Becky was very easy to deal with. She listened to our desires and questions, gave suggestions based on her local knowledge and experience, and took the stress out of making arrangements. Becky incorporated our own vows into a service that beautifully referenced the elements and Hawaiian custom and culture. Becky's partner Matt did a great job of taking photos on the day. We were very happy with Becky's assistance and our special day was just perfect.

e and at ease on our wedding day and the days leading up to our wedding. There wasn’t a question she couldn’t answer. Our wedding turned out PERFECT! Look no further than Becky. I did so much research before picking her and couldn’t be happier with our decision to choose her.

ctures as part of our photo purchase. They are beautiful.

r wedding on Old Airport Beach Park was the perfect start to our happy ever after. I honestly cannot thank her enough, our wedding was beautiful and I could not have done it without her (her husband Matt takes amazing phones! He had my husbands phone & they are wonderful). Thank you so much Becky & Matt!!!!!!

justice. The custom flowers were gorgeous. Becky thoughtfully tailored the words of her ceremony for us, and her husband took a huge number of amazing photos. They also gave our after-ceremony restaurant a heads-up, so we got the best table in the place. It's obvious that Becky really cares about her clients. But she is also very professional: there's a detailed contract to spell everything out clearly. Finally, because my wife and I got married after 18 years of being together (!), we feel that we can highly recommend Becky for voew renewals too.

ouching ceremony. We had many beautiful pictures taken both during and after the ceremony, to help us remember our special day. Becky was a pleasure to work with right from the first email/phone contact through the wedding itself and afterwards. She was always available for any questions we had. She made the whole process as stress-free as a wedding could possibly be. We highly recommend Becky's services to anyone looking for a simple, stress-free beach wedding in the Kona area!

ith planning a wedding in Hawaii but our day was better than we ever imagined. It really was everything we dreamed of and more. Becky, thank you so much for your help :)

res for us.

as awesome as well, he took wonderful shots of us and video!!! We just felt so at ease and comfortable with both of them!

taken care of by Becky in advance so we could just enjoy our day. We also ordered the deluxe photo package. This was worth every penny. Matt caught the most beautiful pictures and intimate moments when we weren't posing and when we were. They are fantastic and I can't wait to get them printed and framed. Both Becky and Matt made the entire experience so much fun and have such a positive energy about them. If I could give them more than five stars I would.

o do was apply for the license then show up with it! She has a wonderful and helpful list of referrals and suggested places to eat once you decide to book your special day. This was extremely helpful as we were coming all the way from Florida and island hopping before and after our stay on the Big Island. The beach she recommends is stunning and we were able to meet with her ahead of time and pick the spots we hoped to get for the actual ceremony. She goes the extra mile by getting there ahead of time and securing our spot to make sure we get exactly what we wanted. Her words during the ceremony were so sweet and she really made you feel that you experienced the authentic Hawaiian traditions, which made the whole thing that much more special. You can tell Becky is a detail oriented and organized person. She really does provide a perfect and stress free ceremony and we couldn’t be more thrilled and honored to have her perform our ceremony. She is a very sweet and kind person and seems to really enjoy what she does. We highly recommend her! You will not regret it!

a pre-meeting at the beach and chose our special place. From there, Becky and Matt put everything in place. We wanted a simple wedding, but were concerned that it might feel lightweight or superficial. Becky ensured that the place was magical, the sunset spectacular and the whole service was meaningful, genuine and a very special experience. Thanks to Matt we have a heap of awesome photos and lots of great memories to take home to our surprised families and friends. Thanks so much to both of you.

conscious so I really appreciate how transparent and fair her package prices are. The ceremony itself was very relaxed and fun. Becky asked all the right questions and handled all the details for us. I could tell she would allow us as much or as little involvement as we would want. All in all, it was a zero stress, 100% fun evening in an amazing location. Also, Becky's husband was super helpful in taking photos with our camera and phone - and the pictures turned out great! Who knows, maybe we'll call them up again in another 10 years!

not disappoint at all!! Please choose Becky for your special day on the beach!

ct spot on the most amazing little beach. When we met them on our wedding day they were very friendly and fun! We had a blast before, during and after the ceremony. Amazing day, Amazing people, Amazing service.

choices, and walked me through all the decision-making needs in a systematic way. She was patient and helpful during the planning process, and was professional and personal as a wedding officiant. She listened to everything I shared about our relationship, and administered a ceremony that was warm and intimate. We really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend her service!

we did it the next day at a different location), she was so calming. Becky made our day so beautiful and we had a wonderful, emotional ceremony. It was small and intimate and the little things that Becky did, made our moment so special. Her help and guidance are so professional, offering and suggesting things that we wouldn't have thought of. Thankyou Becky, we would be more than happy to forward your name and details to anyone we know who is looking to marry over in Kona.

le but romantic wedding in Hawaii. Highly recommend!

nd our wedding day couldn't have gone any smoother or been any more fun -- and we owe that all to Becky. Even with a simple wedding -- in the months leading up to the big day, we still had plenty of things to plan for and remember -- and Becky helped us with everything!! Then, on our special day, Becky made everything look beautiful and run smoothly - both at the Old Airport Beach and at the Daylight Mind Café, where we had dinner and danced the night away. I absolutely recommend Becky - she will think of everything and make sure that the bride, groom, and family are prepared, happy and having a wonderful time. She is a true expert and a kind and thoughtful person. I wish her the best and when my husband and I renew our vows -- I will definitely call on Becky's services again - if she will have us :)

elped us change everything. I looked at a lot of elopement packages and officiants and hardly any of them allowed personalization or outside photography. Becky was the opposite! Whatever we wanted, she worked to make it happen. 5 stars for sure!!!

band was a fantastic photographer who took over 200+ pictures for us! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

t meaningful wedding ceremony. Becky was always professional and timely in her response to our questions. Just speaking with her on the phone was reassuring that she would be reliable and accommodating. Every email was answered quickly. After meeting her on The Big Island of Hawaii to select our actual spot, we knew we had made the right decision. Our sunset wedding was simply beautiful and the start of a new life together. A unique memory of the special day we envisioned. There is NO doubt that Becky and her husband, Matt, would be the right choice.

urprise song. She has such an overwhelmingly sincere and caring personality that translates into her personalized and heart felt ceremony. A special shout out to Becky's husband, Matt, who is her equal in personality and took some great shots with our phones. - Deanna and Humberto

that she performed for us was very special, heartfelt and genuine. She was so sweet and easy to work with as well as her husband. She took care of everything!!! She really does make it "Simple". Becky and Simple Kona Beach Weddings created a memory that we will always treasure. Thank you again for our wonderful day!

Having never been to HI, we didnt know what to expect but knew what we wanted and she provided that and then some!! She takes care of all the details, planning, permits, etc. I can not say enough how stress free it was knowing we had her on our side taking care of the details. We had to answer a few question, pick out our exact location once we got to Hawaii, and from there it was just show up and get married! She provides an amazing ceremony that you will remember forever. You will not find a better value, hands down. Becky thank you and your husband for all your hard work - you're both amazing!

ho0se just the right spot, and had everything set up and ready to go when we arrived at the beach. The whole process was made easy by Becky and our event was something we will always remember fondly. If you are considering a wedding or vowel renewal you really need to contact Becky and give Simple Kona Beach Weddings a chance. Mahalo Becky, and aloha!

ergency our loved one was stable and wanted us to go back to get married called Becky to see if our day was still available and she told me she had a feeling we would be back. We can't thank her enough for everything, she made our day so very special even with everything that had happened. Thank you Becky Kevin & Denise Van Dyke 7-7-17

🌴💏🌴💏🌴

eremony was beautiful and tailored to our unique situation. Would definitely recommend Simple Kona Beach Weddings to others!

and our family said it was the most beautiful ceremony they had attended. The special Hawaiian elements were very cool. I can't say enough about her - book today and you won't regret it!

few days in advance to choose the top 3 spots on the beach for our sunset wedding. They gave both of us warm hugs, answered all of our questions to go through it in ou heads, and made excellent recommendations for the ceremony and entire trip (Splashers was so fun with incredible live Hawaiian music starting at 4pm and amazing drinks & food). The day before the ceremony I received a text message from Becky wishing me a happy day before my wedding! She also sent a text the day of confirming location setup, where to be and when, and letting me know she's there if we need to reach out with questions. Everything was in place and ready when we arrived. Becky greeted us with hugs and walked with us to the location. From there, everything was magical. We started with the conch shell tribute where Becky blew in each direction. I started crying right away. We had a slightly customized vow exchange that was so beautiful there wasn't a dry eye in sight. Our bride and groom leis were perfect, the ring blessing was really cool. The act of pouring the water from the ring blessing and throwing the lava rock wrapped in Ti Leaf into the ocean during the sunset was even cooler and we got amazing photos of it thanks to her husband. In fact, we walked away with nearly 300 amazing photos on my husband's iPhone from many different angles and viewpoints. The heart shaped flowers in the sand were flawless, as was the bouquet. To top it off, the ukelele musicians were incredible and equally warm and professional! The photographer was great too. I received 10 teaser pics that are amazing. My only regret was that we didn't get more shots with each of our guests and almost forgot to take a group shot. So please take my advice and plan the shots you want ahead of time, because your mind will be scattered following the ceremony and you won't think of it! Also, we were running late and even if we were late, it wouldn't have been a big deal, so don't stress! Just after the ceremony, there was a light sprinkle and rainbow, as if it was planned! Thank you for my beautiful day. I highly recommend Simple Kona Beach Weddings.

tly answering any concern or question in a very welcoming way. I truly appreciated her flexibility, arranging everything and conducting a stunning ceremony. I highly recommend her services.

ay and made the planning a stress-free process. Becky and Matt made our wedding day unique and very special and we were so pleased with all the services we received. They also provided us with great recommendations for photographers for the wedding and places to visit during our time on the Big Island.

with a lovely beach, lava and beautiful trees. There was hardly another soul on the beach by the time our ceremony started just before sunset. Becky is friendly, and attentive. She set up the ceremony with a lovely circle of orchids and plumerias that smelled divine. She was also able to adapt quickly to our precocious toddler who wasn't sure what all the fuss was about. All of Becky's recommendations were fantastic, from the photographer to the hair stylist. Her husband, Matt, who is an extraordinary chef prepared a spectacular beach picnic for us prior to the wedding. It is hard to overstate how good the food was. We highly recommend Becky at Simple Kona Beach Weddings!

Simple Kona Beach Weddings staff are friendly, personable, and just overall genuine people who believe in helping couples with their magical day. From the bottom of our Alaskan hearts, a big hug and thank you to Becky and Matt for making our destination wedding exactly what we wanted and more!! Aloha! J and D

e to work with her even more closely. Our ceremony was even better than we could have imagined, in great part due to Becky's genuine spirit, thoughtful listening and incredible energy. She not only advised us on how to navigate the State of Hawaii system for licensing, but she found us a perfect spot, worked with us on timing so we got the best light for pictures, arranged gorgeous flowers and her husband was an absolute dream to have on hand as causal photographer. I would also add that Becky was remarkably responsive and accommodating, and incredibly honest and open about what she thought would, and more importantly, would not work. We also took her up on a handful of local recommendations and they were each flawless. I would wholeheartedly recommend Simple Kona Beach Weddings. Thank you Becky!

ions. Those options ended up being better then originally planned. Everything was stress free with her and the help of her husband Matt :-) If you are looking for someone with attention to detail and will make your dream wedding come true please, put her at the top of your list!

ived so many compliments and it was all because Becky put everything together perfectly. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner, she knows what she is doing! She picked out the perfect place for us to get married, so beautiful and exactly what we were looking for, that Special piece of Hawaii! I would definitely recommend her to anyone, and if I had to rate her from 1 to 10...it would be a 100! Whenever we needed something or had a question, she always was responsive and quick! She was always professional and even brought the vendors to us! She even recommend restaurants for us while we were in Hawaii. I was truly amazed by that. She understood our vision and it turned out beautifully! Thank you so much again and I would highly recommend her to any engaged couple!

out having any recommendations other than "Reviews" you don't really know what you are getting ....But From the moment I emailed "Simple Kona Beach Weddings" and started the correspondence with Becky I felt right at home. Becky suggested the perfect spot for us to get married right from the first email and seemed to understand exactly what we wanted, everything felt so comfortable and easy that we knew we had made the right choice. Becky always returned emails quickly and by the time we finally met we felt like we were old friends. The day was perfect, and the ceremony that Becky performed for us was very touching . One of the photographers that Becky suggested (that we chose) "Mark Hinwood" was exceptional and captured the day perfectly. Becky and her husband Matt made us feel like family and made the day so special. Thank You so much Becky and Matt for the wonderful memories you helped us create and for celebrating with us xx

day put our minds at ease and let us let go of any worries and just focus on the excitement of getting married! We're now celebrating our 1 year anniversary at the end of April :) We will be recommending Simple Kona beach weddings to all our family and friends who are getting married! Thank you Becky and Matt! <3 Jenny & James Cairns

wedding in Hawaii, I did not want it to have the generic feel and cost of resort wedding packages. She made it so special and really elegant. Nothing cheesy about it. We had a lot of kids at the wedding, whom she incorporated into the ceremony, at my request, and helped us hire childcare of during the reception. She is so intuitive and will almost understand your vision better than you. She is detail oriented and goes the extra mile, such as buying leis for my parents for their arrival since she was at the flower market anyway, recommending restaurants, etc. Her delightful husband is a chef, and I feel they both helped guide the food at the reception. I even had a guest say that they just expect the food at weddings to be bad, but it was exceptional. She decorated a beautiful arch with tropical flowers for us, I gave her recommendations for my bouquet and she made one that was perfect. Getting married in Hawaii with the laid back attitude of the island is wonderful, but that makes planning and coordinating difficult at times. After talking to Becky a couple of times, I guessed, accurately, that she had lived and worked in Manhattan and San Francisco in the past, as she is efficient and persistent with vendors while always being gracious. She was so on top of things, I was never nervous about things not going well. I live in the Bay Area and I feel that the wedding she coordinated would have cost more and taken more effort here. Multiple guests have come to me saying the wedding was so special and beautiful, down to the last detail. I agree. I was so relaxed and could enjoy the festivities. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

al. The location was incredible and the pictures are stunning. The ceremony was elegant but not stuffy - she included our children which made it very meaningful for us. There was no stress in this process at all. She is a sweet and lovely lady and I would recommend Simple Kona Beach Weddings to everyone looking to renew their vows. Both Becky and her husband took many pictures for us throughout our time on the beach and in no way did we feel rushed once the ceremony was over. Her husband Matt was terrific and they made it fun as well as special for my husband and I, our children, nephew, and our friends. Thank you Becky for helping us celebrate our 20 years of marriage.
