Kona Wedding Officiant, Kailua-Kona HI

Thanks to Kona Wedding Officiant for a seamless and smooth wedding experience! We just had to plan wedding outfits and hair and makeup (but we used her recommendation) and showed up to our wedding! It was a beautiful and low stress day for us! Our preferences were accounted for, for wedding location, photographer and flowers. I wish I was a little more specific about flowers I wanted/didn’t want but the specifications I did provide were followed. We got photos right at the estimated timeline and we loved them all we had to purchase the full package! We highly recommend Kona Wedding Officiant for a stress free wedding process.

The best experience of our lives. I competed in the Hawaii Ironman and we decided to get married with Kona Wedding. Everything was very easy and pleasant with her. The ceremony was impressive, she was spectacular with her energy. I would get married again every year like this. Mahalo!

Deanna did a great job with our small, private elopement in Volcano National Park. She is a true professional, from booking thru the ceremony. She gave us plenty of options to do things the way we wanted to in order to make it right for us. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend! We arranged the entire wedding package, with license and photographs, from Chicago, via telephone calls and emails. There are so many choices, and options for anything you can think of! There were no issues with times, travel, or schedule. Everything went exactly as planned that day. Deanna was wonderful and made our day so special. As corny as it may sound, it really did feel like we were the only people on the beach that day. It felt intimate and grand at the same time. Our photographer was also awesome, she had great ideas for photos and went along with all our crazy requests! And of course, it's Hawaii, and it's beautiful. 100 percent positive experience!

It was absolutely breathtaking. My husband and I were married at the Kulaniapia Falls on Friday the 13th. Deanna made the process leading up to the wedding super simple and stress free. There is also a ton of different options for the wedding ceremony that really makes it special. If I could do it all over again I would choose this company and Deanna. Thank you so much for making this the most beautiful experience I could have ever imagined.

Thank you to the KonaWeddingOfficiant crew for helping to make our day extra magical! Totally recommend these guys! They are absolutely wonderful and go above and beyond to make sure your needs are met and that you have fun! 10/10! Our photographer and florist were absolutely amazing and Deanna did a wonderful job helping us with the planning process and was very helpful even though we changed our minds midway a few times lol. She was very accommodating. Thank you guys we loved working with you! You all helped make our wedding day truly special & unforgettable! -Jess & Jerell

Deanna from Kona Wedding Officiant performed our wedding ceremony on August 28,2023 at Kuki'o Beach. We purchased the Elopement Package for 2 which included a photographer.

We are extremely satisfied with the services that Deanna provided and highly recommend using her for your wedding ceremony. From the time we booked the wedding date more than a year ago to the actual wedding day, Deanna quickly and efficiently responded to all of our communications and all of her instructions were clear and concise.

Deanna is exactly everything that we were looking for in a wedding officiant. My husband and I eloped because we wanted a private and intimate ceremony and that is exactly what Deanna provided. She was eloquent and somehow instinctively delivered the perfect harmonization of a Christian ceremony and a spiritual ceremony all in one. Her energy was otherworldly and her pace and tonality throughout the ceremony were both calming and grounding. She truly embodies the god essence and made our wedding ceremony everything that we could ever wish our wedding to be.

We truly feel blessed and are deeply and eternally grateful to Deanna for making our wedding day so memorable and meaningful.

Deanna was absolutely amazing! She helped make our special day beautiful and completely stress free. Every step of the way was communicated perfectly and in a timely manner! The ceremony was tailored flawlessly for us and was everything we ever wanted! I seriously can’t thank her enough for orchestrating an extraordinary wedding experience for us.

Could not have been more impressed with the quality and experience that was provided. One click of Apple pay, and everything was completely taken care of. No stress whatsoever was involved. However, the easiness and no micromanagement did not reflect in a poor product. The low expectations of a last minute elopement to marry my husband resulted in the most beautiful experience that I will treasure forever. Diana, Shannon, and Margarita, we’re an awesome team who delivered something beyond our expectations, and I am forever grateful. I have recommended to several friends to go this route of a no stress special ceremony. You will not be disappointed. Biggest thank you to the Kona Wedding Officiant company!

Deanna was great! It was perfect for our little elopement, didn't have to stress at all! She set up the appointment for the license to get picked up and the photographer was great, so nice made us feel very comfortable!

Deanna‘s team Margarita (officiant) and Terra (photographer) were amazing. Margarita ran late but it all worked out perfectly. We got the majority of the pictures taken until she arrived and we still ended at our scheduled time! Terra is an amazing photographer. She worked with our boys and ensured great spots to make us look fabulous! Margarita was full of warmth and she was very flexible with including the kids in the ceremony, which made it all much more special. Our rose petals were refunded for the delay, which was nice. Overall, it was a phenomenal experience and the wedding turned out far better than we imagined! <3 Mahalo!

We had the most picturesque ceremony with amazing Deanna. Thank you for blessing our ceremony

We were extremely happy with our wedding and it was all thanks to Deanna! She was amazing! She was extremely communicative through the process of planning and all the way through to our “big day”. We appreciate that she took the time to answer all our questions (which were many) and provided great advice on planning the perfect ceremony. At the ceremony, Deanna was thoughtful, patient, intentional, and very kind. We could not be happier with our wedding experience. Deanna’s team were sweet and very talented. Aubrey did an amazing job capturing the beautiful moments and we adore her photos. Dennis was fantastic as well, played ukulele and sang beautifully. He made our first dance so special to us. 100% recommend Kona Wedding Officiant for anyone’s wedding in Hawaii. We are so grateful to Deanna and her team for making our day so special for us. Thank you!

My wife and I am very satisfied with the services offered by Deanna. Our ceremony went smoothly and not having to worry about filing permits and things allowed us to spend our time enjoying the beautiful big island. Our photographer was great too and made us feel comfortable during our shoot.

My elopement with Lona Wedding Officiant was perfection! Great communication, easy to navigate website, and our ceremony was exactly what we wanted!

Deanna was absolutely amazing (and Aubrey, our photographer)! The service was very customizable and perfectly tailored for us. Everything from filing our marriage certificate to arriving at our wedding location was explained thoroughly so there were no hiccups at all. Deanna even opened a date for us to accommodate our travel needs since we were flying in from the mainland. Truly appreciate Deanna and Kona Wedding Officiant and would absolutely recommend this service to anyone thinking about eloping on the Big Island! You made our special day so much more special!
