Becky Ringler of Simple Kona Beach Weddings did an amazing job handling our Kona Beach wedding. We live in New Jersey and we quickly realized that it was going to be very difficult to get the beach wedding that we wanted in Hawaii on our own. ...
Becky was very responsive to any questions that we had and she helped to coordinate our wedding in so many different ways. Becky did a great job making sure that we had the perfect sunset spot on the beach to arranging the flowers, to helping to set up our reception dinner, as well as guiding us to book awesome Hawaiian excursions for our group throughout the week. If you are planning to have your wedding on beach in Kona, Hawaii, we highly recommend Simple Kona Weddings. Pam & Tim Dilger

Becky was outstanding as we planned our Big Island wedding from Texas. Between the pandemic, time/location disparity, unexpected financial issues, and other personal factors (e.g., I was recently diagnosed with a severe heart condition that imp...
acts daily functioning), we could not have planned our wedding without her constant assistance, reassurance, flexibility, compassion, and understanding. On the wedding day, my hair & makeup artist did not have basic equipment (e.g., a hairdryer) at her salon, overtly criticized and refused to execute any portion of the hairstyle and makeup I had requested (and she had promised) both a year and month in advance via provided pictures, and spent the entire time talking about insane conspiracy theories, such as the tragic Uvalde Elementary School shooting having been staged, a la Alex Jones. She never brought me a glass of water despite my asking three hours earlier upon arrival, asked about my wedding or partner, and then did not help me get dressed; I had to get myself into my gown and veil alone, which resulted in my shoes breaking, veil ripping, shapewear prominently displayed through the gown, and a big cut on my finger that was bleeding everywhere, with blood spatter even on the bodice of my gown. She then sent me outdoors, bleeding, barefoot, and crying, to wait for my groom (and over an hour late for my own ceremony). Thus, immediately prior to marrying my spouse, I was the complete antithesis of how I had pictured myself looking/feeling since childhood. (Spending $600 to look worse than I do on a routine basis while hearing disrespectful babble about murdered children was not how I envisioned my wedding day, or any hair/makeup session outside of a reality show on a fringe conspiracy network). However, whenever I arrived late for my own wedding, bleeding, hobbling, dizzy from dehydration and heat due to my heart condition and lack of water, looking and feeling visibly upset, Becky immediately smoothed things over by somehow fixing my shoe to enable me to walk down the beach, wrapping my bleeding finger in bandages, and telling me I looked beautiful, despite not feeling that way. Her presence is very comforting and authentic, and she genuinely cares about how you and your spouse feel emotionally and mentally. She also executes beautiful, detailed, and highly personalized ceremonies, even though she was admittedly not given much to work with on our end due to having a wedding party that went from 30 RSVPS to 0 over the course of a year. Becky changed our ceremony from a wedding to an elopement without any problems, and her husband further graciously videotaped the entire ceremony, so we were able to livestream it for friends and family back home. In light of the foregoing, I cannot recommend Becky more highly to any engaged couple, ESPECIALLY if/when the unexpected occurs. Both the Big Island and Becky are rare gems; your time spent in her care will yield breathtaking memories.

Oh, Jessica! It was such a joy to work with you and Scott from start to finish, through all of your ups and downs, and I am SO glad that (despite the horrific experience you went through right before your ceremony) we were able to bring you up ...

NOTE: Please rest assured, what you shared about your hair and makeup experience has been properly dealt with. No bride should ever have to go through this on her wedding day.

about us as a couple. She was so organized and on top of every detail. I didn't worry for one-minute about anything ... she handled it ALL, from picking a location, securing the beach permit, connecting us with the marriage license official, ordering leis, designing my bouquet, recommending the photographer and hair and makeup artist, and booking a ukulele player. Becky even helped us with suggestions for dinner on our wedding night and other activities while we were there. The ceremony itself was beautiful and all we could ever have wished for. It was the perfect blend of Hawaiian tradition with touches that were personal to us, like incorporating my teenage sons into the wedding. Getting hitched went off without a hitch! I highly recommend Becky!

Throughout the ceremony she had a beautiful explanation of each representation of the commitment my wife and I were making to one another. Her words were warm, eloquent, and truly lovely. After the ceremony we had another meaningful moment in mind—a way for my mother-in-law to be there with us, and honor her wish of a piece of her remaining in Hawaii forever. We can’t express enough gratitude for the extra time and care you took with us. Our wedding is somehow even more beautiful today in my mind’s eye, it was the perfect first step in our marriage.

We contacted Becky with Simple Kona Beach weddings 45 days before our arrival on the Big Island. Becky was very friendly and professional and put us at ease during the entire planning process. She covered all of the options and details we would...
need to decide on prior to our arrival on island. (Marriage license, ceremony location, choice of leis, wedding vows, photo package, etc). Becky was very thorough in covering all pre-ceremony details. Once we arrived we asked to meet with Becky to briefly make our introductions and lay eyes on the beach where the ceremony would take place. Again, Becky was very gracious when we met with her and was flexible in making minor adjustments to our requests. On the day of the ceremony Becky sent us a personalized text letting us know she was available if we had any last minute needs. This was a great touch as we each had a few minor "wedding day jitters". At the ceremony we met Becky and her husband Matt at the beach location. It was nice getting to know them pre-ceremony and it put both of us at ease. The ceremony was very professional, romantic and tasteful. Interspersed with what we were expecting in a traditional wedding ceremony were some Hawaiian cultural traditions which really helped to memorialize our very special occasion. Matt did an outstanding job with our photos, Becky later sent us several photos that she herself had taken post ceremony and overall they exceeded our expectations on so many levels and we truly appreciate their attention to detail.

Angle of the sun in accordance with photography angles, noise from beach goers, view points for guests to easily watch us and comfortable place for us to stand. She was flexible to work with and has a great personality with just the right amount of patience, fun, assertiveness and professionalism. She was also an excellent communicator. We felt like we were in good hands long before getting to the island. We chose a traditional sort of Hawaiian island ceremony which she did a super job describing what and why as we went through it. It made it that much more special. For just a small fee extra we were able to hire her husband to use our phone and take many more pictures and video the ceremony. He too has a funny and outgoing personality and was a great addition to the ceremony. In closing we definitely recommend Becky. You will be glad you chose her too! Sanja and Travis

Traveling from Europe, it was crucial for us that the wedding planner takes care of all items around our wedding. We wanted a simple beach wedding, but still it is a once in a lifetime event and should be something special. And this is exactly what Beckyś service stands for! In a very professional and well organized manner, Becky provided us with a real No-brainer package, we only needed to show up at the beach and smile. The whole ceremony was just awesome; Becky used well chosen, beautiful words, arranged amazing colorful flowers, perfectly made leis and prepared exactly the tropical flower bucket, we asked for. She advised a very talented and passionate photographer. She further arranged a delicious picnic and organized a very good and funny ukulele player. So, everything we asked for was there, and all items were even better than we would have ever imagined. Becky and the whole team around Simple Kona Beach Weddings welcomed us in such a warm and friendly manner, that we felt like among friends, even though we traveled alone to Hawaii. Additionally, it is worthwhile to mention, that Becky provided several very good recommendations for restaurants, assisted us with the marriage license arrangements and via her network we could book some great activities. So as said, everything was just awesome and we can only highly recommend Simple Kona Beach Weddings to every couple, who is looking for a simple beach wedding with a unique and personalized touch.

In short, my new wife and I simply can't imagine how Becky could have made our whole experience any better. She chose an amazing location that even most locals don't know about -- even a virtual visit (via Google Earth) doesn't do the location ...

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.

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!
