E Komo Mai — Welcome with Aloha.
For the past six years, I stepped away from public ministry to walk a sacred path of mālama, dedicating my full heart and presence to caring for my father. Following his passing, I am returning to my lifelong calling with a renewed spirit, deep gratitude, and a heart profoundly prepared to serve.
Ordained on Oʻahu in 2006, I have had the privilege of guiding well over a thousand couples over the past two decades. My foundation is built on deep community trust, having historically been called upon to provide traditional blessings for iconic properties like The Kahala Hotel and Resort, the Moana Surfrider, the Sheraton Waikiki, and the Hawaiʻi Prince Hotel.
A Sacred Moment, Not an Assembly Line
In a wedding industry that often feels rushed and mass-produced, my approach is entirely different. A true Hawaiian blessing cannot be squeezed into a quick 15-minute slot just to get to the next beach. It requires deep intuition, open hearts, and genuine, unhurried presence.
Every ceremony I perform is rooted in the ancient teachings of my beloved, deceased Kumu, Karen Leialoha Kaʻanehe, who spent over sixteen years training and anchoring me in authentic practices.
When you stand with me in the circle of love, you experience:
Real Hoʻoponopono: Far beyond a modern buzzword or a casual apology, this is a sacred practice that allows you to consciously release past emotional weight, stepping into your marriage with a light heart and an unbreakable foundation.
The Sacred Hā (Breath of Life): From the roots of the lei exchange to the final ring blessing, I breathe my breath directly over your bands to honor and protect your union.
Focused, Unrushed Time: I intentionally limit the number of ceremonies I take each day. You receive a full, focused hour on-site so you never feel like a number, but feel truly seen, safe, and present.
Whether you are planning an intimate elopement, a destination micro-wedding, or a sacred vow renewal in the islands, my promise is to pour light into you and hold that space with absolute reverence.
