Once we found the website for Infinite Bliss Weddings, we instantly felt that Ajani had the vibe we were looking for, and we were right! Reasonable pricing, nice and personal ceremony, and everything we wanted. Ajani was even kind enough to wait a few extra minutes for us after we were running late. Would definitely recommend!

Sojourn photos and grace in getting you comfortable with the photo shoot is amazing, being on the other end of the camera most of my life I was n't too comfortable with the spotlight on me, but in no time I had forgotten she was taking photos I was so comfortable in her presence. They do what they can to accommodate you with locations and will help with anything they can. Our 25th Anniversary was so magical. Thanks for brightening our day with love and light.

She literally soothed my frazzled nerves and provided my fiancé and me' with everything we needed before we even arrived, and once we arrived onto the Island she ensured everything was streamlined and in order. She didn't miss a beat!! She had all of the resources needed -- from an AWESOME makeup artist (Kassie), photographer (Hannah), to where to go for final marriage licensing signing. She even files your license for you!! Once our special day arrived, her ceremony literally brought tears to my eyes. It was just so beautiful... words cannot express... From the serene ocean ritual, her loving and warm words during the ceremony that were genuinely from the heart made my wedding day so memorable and filled with love. As nervous and unorganized as I was, Becky made my day PERFECT!!! I can't thank her and her awesome husband, Matt, enough!!! Becky was a Godsend!! She's the BEST at what she does, hand down!!! Aloha!!

Aunty Tutu - More Than Just an Officiant, She's Family!…read more If you're looking for the most incredible wedding officiant in Hawaii, look no further than Aunty Tutu! Seriously, don't walk, RUN to book her! She's not just an officiant, she makes you feel like ohana (family) throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, Aunty Tutu put us at ease. She has this infectious smile that lights up the room, and her warmth is truly genuine. We trusted her completely, and that trust made the whole wedding planning process so much smoother. On the wedding day, Aunty Tutu absolutely stole the show (in the best way possible!). Her ceremony was perfect - a beautiful blend of Hawaiian traditions and the spirit of Aloha. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how wonderful she was. There was literally a line to take pictures with her after the ceremony! If you're looking for an officiant who will make your wedding ceremony a truly special and unforgettable experience, look no further than Aunty Tutu. Mahalo nui loa (thank you very much) Aunty Tutu for making our wedding day so perfect!

I would recommend her to wholeheartedly.

Angry and disgusted isn't strong enough a word to use to describe "Aloha Big Island Weddings"…read more After weeks of non returned emails and phone calls, we've just realized that our the company we paid to provide our wedding photography and officiant services no longer has a live website or working phone number. After some determined research to track down who has ran off with our money, we've figured something out - "Aloha Big Island Weddings" is Kona Weddings. How do we know - "Call immediately to see if your date is still available! We book up to 24 months in advance! Do not hesitate...Call immediately, or your date will be taken ...you don't need to pay any money. There is NO charge and NO obligation." Same wording that got us to book on their website that is no longer there. Look at the reviews for Kona Weddings. They've apparently made a business out taking people's money and not giving people what they paid for. I guess the Yelp review started getting so bad, they decided to change the name instead of giving couples what they pay for. Thankfully we're only out $150, but judging by what we've read, we're not the only ones. Be warned "Aloha Big Island Weddings" is Kona weddings. Read the reviews and don't get scammed like we did.

The best. Above and beyond feels too trite to describe how Cheryl handled our ceremony, but above…read moreand beyond is how she operated in every possible way and our day was meaningful and poignant and we could not have imagined it better. On our first conversation, Cheryl said to me "Let me handle all the stress, you just get to Hawaii." I didn't have to worry about a thing; it was one of the easiest partnerships I've ever had with someone I'm working with to plan something. Cheryl went out of her way to accommodate every detail and request we asked for, from having our ukulele player learn our song (They Love Each Other by The Grateful Dead) on a weeks notice, to exploring every single option available to try and find a same-sex cake topper on Hawaii at the very last minute. When my mother wanted to be a sleuth to try and figure out our hotels, etc so she could do something, I put her in touch with Cheryl thinking she'd help her arrange dinner or a spa day at our hotel. Little did I know that Cheryl was talking to my mother and my mother-in-law almost daily, accommodating their requests and in the end keeping the big secret that our mothers paid for the entire day, photographer and wedding dinner. But even more special, Cheryl worked closely with them to give them the opportunity to put their small touches on our ceremony. Cheryl revealed the surprise after the ceremony and I can't tell you how special that was for us. Cheryl made it possible for our mothers to be part of our elopement and I can't thank her enough. Incidentally, my mother shared with me the pages and pages (.....and pages!) of emails she and my MIL exchanged with Cheryl. Even from 5,000 miles away, Cheryl's warmth and kindness touched our mothers and they will be forever friends. Our ceremony was intimate and and so well done. Her service was spot on for us as a couple, and Cheryl cried the whole time which made it feel like we were married by an old friend. Cheryl is everything you want for your Hawai'i elopement. She will forever hold an incredibly special place in our hearts and I couldn't ask for a kinder soul to remember as part of our day. Cheryl exudes love, fun and the spirit of aloha, and any couple who has her at the helm for their wedding is extremely blessed.

Normally when I write a review on Yelp, I already know what I want to say before I start typing…read more This is not one of those times because I have a hard time putting into words how much meaning Aloha Weddings in Paradise added to our wedding day. I found Cheryl through an exhaustive Google search as I was looking for the right wedding officiant for my husband's and my elopement to the Island of Hawaii in December, 2013. Once I found Aloha Weddings' website - and saw smiley photos of Cheryl, her husband, Pas, and their rescued animals - I knew right away she was the right one for us. Anyone that rescues as many animals as they have has the same kind of heart I do! I contacted Cheryl to book her officiating services for our wedding and she was very quick to respond. Throughout the following months, whenever I needed to get in touch, had a new idea or wanted to ask Cheryl a question, she was always right there and ready with an answer. Her communication about our upcoming wedding day was awesome, but she also took the time to get to genuinely know my husband and I via email before we made our way to Hawaii for our wedding ceremony. Cheryl offers a variety of wedding packages of all sizes, including a la carte services like flowers, a cake, music, photography and even leis. She allows you to plan as much or as little of your day as you'd like and she can handle the rest. I'm a planner by nature, so I took the reins most of the time but it was nice to know I could count on Cheryl for all the other small details. The day before our wedding day, Cheryl came into Kona to meet with us, talk about how the day's events will unfold, what our last-minute preferences were and to answer any questions we had. She put us entirely at ease and we couldn't wait for the big day! We also ended up asking Cheryl to provide our flower leis and my husband's maille lei, as well as hiring Cheryl's husband to play the ukulele before and after our elopement ceremony. On our wedding day, both Cheryl and Pas were on time, prepared and ready to rock! The warmth, kindness and sincerity that they brought to our wedding day - and our marriage ceremony in particular - are qualities my husband and I will never forget. Cheryl added a lot of special and unique touches to the ceremony, and the vows she created for us were deeply heartfelt. I would wholeheartedly recommend Cheryl and Pas to anyone even considering getting married on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Michaela Larson is a real professional realtor who I really enjoyed our conversation which she answered all of my questions and unlike other realtors is very knowledgeable. Most realtors appear distracted whereas Michaela was very point on with the Sales in the areas that I told her I was interested in buying another home.

What I really like is how confident she is, so genuine and real who also performs weddings in case I need one for one of my daughters. I liked Michaela's positive energy who would be in all client's best interest to hire her as their Real Estate Agent since she really cares going the extra mile to find a client's Dream home!

My husband and I got married in April 2024 and we started the planning process about a year and a half before the wedding.

We emailed and texted regularly, had monthly meetings (weekly meetings when we got closer to the wedding), and she made sure to followed up on tasks that I needed to do as a bride. I never felt stressed with planning the wedding, and I know that is ultimately because of Kirsten. I trusted her from the beginning, not only because of her amazing experience, but because she is a good person and executes the job well. She and her team also planned our welcome party, which was breath taking. Everything was beyond perfect. Kirsten, thank you for all you and your team did for our special day. You made us feel like the most badass bride and groom. Thank you for everything!
