Choose your Hawaii wedding ceremony below and we will craft it so that it is unique, just like your relationship. It is so beautiful when two people come together again to reaffirm their sacred commitment to one another. I love helping couples design vow renewals so they reflect the journey of their marriage.

We just cannot express our happiness having found Deanne for our marriage. We are a couple from Germany waiting for this great moment for one year. Deanne supported us through that time and the distance to plan everything . We can not image having had a better ceremony. Reminding every single moment and looking at our pictures it will definitely be and stay our greatest moment in life. Especially the Hawaiian rituals, the location and Deannes personality made it so special. And we will not forget to thank our wedding photographer Gerald Besson doing a great job. We really had fun.

It was our 51st Anniversary and First Vow Renewal. From the beach setting to the sunset, it could not have been more perfect. Deanna was so helpful in guiding us and our family in making decisions about the location and how to make our ceremony special for us. It was important to us to include our immediate family and to follow Hawaiian traditions. It all came together so well. Brittany, our photographer, was fantastic - always around to catch those candid moments as well as posed photos. Deanna is very professional, but so caring. If you want to do it right, contact her.

Deanna was amazing with the ceremony, and made the long-awaited day very special. (Especially given that Covid delayed our arrangements for a year.) She was very responsive with communication and made some last-minute adjustments for us.
A little disappointed in how close-up a lot of the photos were. The photos on the website seem better than the photos we received... We were really loving how much of the natural scenery the website photos looked and gave a lot of full body space. The photographer was fun to work with, but I will definitely be telling all future photographers to avoid super close

From our first contact to receiving our photos, this experience has been incredible! The warmth, kindness, patience, enthusiasm, guidance, everything that Deanna did for us and with us was wonderful. We would recommend her to anyone and everyone that wanted to get married on the Big Island. Everything was so easy..it all just flowed with Aloha. Thank you so much for making our day so special. With Aloha, Deb & Rick

We're still glowing (5 months later!) from our private, peaceful and meaningful ceremony. Everything about it was perfect. Deanna's attention to detail and professionalism along with her complete calm really made it easy for us to be in the moment. She managed every single detail of everything we could have wanted. Both of us are so happy with our choice to get married in small wedding, early in the morning, next to the gorgeous ocean. We're telling everyone we know to do it and happier every day that we did it this way. From our hike down to the beach (and changing behind the bushes!), to the

This review is long overdue!
2 years ago today Deanna married us at a beautiful spot on Kikaua Point Beach. We wanted a calm and relaxed ceremony. Just the 3 of us - barefoot in the sand.
Deanna came thru with exactly the vibe we wanted for our meaningful ceremony.
The whole experience was perfect from start to finish. It was very easy and stress free.
The “sand blending” was my favorite part of the ceremony.
We highly recommend Deanna for your special day!
Much aloha.

We could not have been happier with Deanna and Kona Wedding Officiant. She was responsive, professional and did an amazing job on our ceremony. I love that you can begin your process by booking online and add customization in the website’s store.
The flowers were beautiful, the photographer was great to work with and we can’t wait to see our pictures when they’re ready.
10/10 recommend.
