Service $495.00

Service fee 15% for A la carte

We want to take a moment to explain why we charge a 15% service fee for à la carte orders. This fee is essential for us to provide you with the high level of personalized service and attention to detail that your special day deserves.

Here's why:

  • Personalized Service: Each à la carte order is unique, tailored to your specific preferences outside of our keenly priced packages. Our team invests time and expertise to ensure every detail aligns perfectly with your vision.
  • Coordination and Planning: Coordinating various elements of your wedding requires meticulous planning and organization. The service fee covers the effort involved in making your day seamless.
  • Administrative Costs: Processing orders, managing payments, and communicating with our clients and vendors all come with administrative expenses. The service fee helps offset these costs and the time it takes to set up these arrangements.

Oahu Wedding and Event Services

Wedding Officiant

$495 (plus tax)

Hawaiian Style - Island Customs

Each minister that performs this ceremony will present vows specifically for you. Please expect a personal communication from them in order to make your day perfect. The ceremony consists of a “Welina” or opening words about the couple and then the blowing of the “Pu”, a chat “Oli” and ceremonial offering “Awa”, the definition of “Aloha”, and the value if it’s meaning with a lei blessing.

We will offer our traditional commitment vows in which you will repeat after the minister, in addition to having you close your eyes as you are lead through a brief visualization that will support you in finding the words to express how you feel for each other in a manner that can be very intimate for each of you.

Honi and Ring Exchange - a short pule (blessing) over your rings, exchange rings, then we will use the traditional “Honi” and position you as such and take you through a quick visualization while you hold that position. For the kiss - Honi. To be followed by your “I Do’s” and The Declaration.

This option does not include lei. Approximately a 25 minute service. Minister service is based on availability - click here to view Our Team.

Traditional - Non-Denominational

Your personalized service will be about 15-17 minutes long. We will share a blank set of vows for you to change in any way you wish. Some omit words that don’t suit them and others have added a poem, scripture, a reading by a family member or even a song. And… most leave them just as they are. During your ring ceremony you may share your own words. Some do and some don’t, it’s entirely up to you. We want you to make this ceremony yours and encourage your participation in making the vows your own creating a benchmark to remember. If you do choose to personalize your ceremony we would ask for your edits 7 days prior to your wedding so we can be prepared to do our best for you.

We will support you in all your questions on behalf of your wedding day, work with your coordinator or family member, text, chat, and email until we know you are set. This includes help in filing your marriage document and any question you might have to feel a sense of relief, knowing your day will be filled with joy, ease and grace.

Wedding Bouquets

Set the Scent for a Lifetime of Memories

From $225 (plus tax)

Bouquets being held by the bride is a practice that dates back to the Ancient Greeks, Romans, and even Egyptians. Though back in those days it was more common to carry fragrant herbs and spices to ward off bad luck. Now we see the incorporation of flowers into the wedding bring forth ideas and visions of new beginnings, hope, happiness, and a pleasantly fragrant future. We work diligently with our couples and our florist to ensure your desires are properly represented in all details of your wedding.

Let us take one more step off your hands as we allow our florists to do their best work creating unique blends of tropical flowers in traditional styles.

Unity Sand Blending

$90

A ceremony that has taken the engaged public’s consciousness by storm is the sand ceremony, more formally known as A Unity Sand Ceremony. This favorite ceremony add-on offers a visceral, visually poignant moment that can bring not only a personalized feel but also a bit of whimsy to an otherwise formal affair.

At its simplest, a sand ceremony involves a symbolic blending of two different-colored sand into a single vessel. The meaning is clear: The blending of two different beings, into a single, inseparable unit that is their marriage – the joining of their lives. Hard as it would be to separate those grains of sand, that’s how difficult it is to separate these two people. It usually takes place after the exchange of rings and vows (although it can go before or even during), and lasts just a couple of minutes.

FRE Sparkling Brut 

$30

Alcohol-Free Wine for a Toast

Tasting Notes

From the cascades of tiny bubbles to the effervescent fizz in the glass, our alcohol-removed sparkling wine makes any occasion feel a little more special. A steadily ascending stream of bubbles rises in the glass, releasing a fragrant bouquet. Green apple and ripe pear aromas tickle your nose, while crisp flavors of apple and strawberry delight your palate. Our Brut is beautifully balanced with a pleasantly dry, refreshing finish.

These grapes are sourced from cool, foggy vineyards in California’s best marine-influenced regions, where grapes ripen slowly and develop classic character and flavor. Our Brut is carefully crafted using traditional methods and our exclusive spinning cone process, which gently removes the alcohol while preserving our sparkling wine’s delicate aromas, flavors and effervescence.

White Dove Release

$245

What is the meaning of Wedding Doves? Releasing doves is a beautiful way to end a wedding ceremony. If you’re looking for an artistic and heartfelt element to add to your wedding day, you may want to consider incorporating wedding doves. The releasing of the doves represents the happiness that you and your sweetheart feel enveloped in the joy of your new union. Here is our Dove Ceremony we would like to share with you.

There’s a reason that turtle doves come in pairs of two in “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” These emblems of love and faithfulness have even inspired poetry in Shakespeare, being the subject of his poem in the year 1601, “ The Phoenix and the Turtle.” The doves stay together and complete the truth, “Till Death Do Us Part.” White flowers are a symbol of loyal love. And while white is not a color, but the manifestation of the presence of all color – the complete energy of light. It stands for wholeness and completion. In many cultures, it represents openness and truth. White has a cold quality. It can provide clarity as its energy is complete. White has purification vibrations and can be used to clear blocks from your path. It holds the potential to move toward every other color and this makes it a good choice for new beginnings, and development in any direction. Add white in your life when you want to start a fresh beginning, to bring about mental clarity, purification of thoughts or actions. You may release your doves together now.

Ceremonies held between 8 am and 3 pm.

"My wife and I wanted a non-faith based wedding that touched upon Ohana and thankfulness for wonderful friends. She was super collaborative with the vows and was not only professional, but definitely emitted a carding demeanor throughout the ceremony. June was able to meet with us before the ceremony to make sure we were all were prepared beforehand. Everything went beautifully and we couldn’t thank June enough.
Highly recommended!"
