June was so great and amazing to work with. When we decided to elope we had no idea where to even begin. Thankfully June made to process simple and easy. June was great and responsive with communication. Thank you so much for making our special day possible! read more

June and Kalei are the best in Wedding Planning and execution. We hired "I Do Hawaiian Weddings" at the start of the year and were married at the end of July. In every interaction, each person was so professional, fun, kind, and caring. They were also able to keep us on budget and communicated clearly and professionally the entire process through. We are so grateful and you'll be glad to hire them! read more

As a Deaf couple, we were nervous about finding the right team for our elopement in Hawaii -- but this company was incredible. They arranged a minister, Daryl, who knows sign language, and a talented photographer, Debbie. The ceremony and communication were all perfect. We are so grateful! Thank you, June. read more

June and the team at I Do Hawaiian Weddings did a wonderful job for us! We decided to elope only 5 days before we left for Hawaii. June made miracles happen for us! It was an amazing, powerful experience. We were married at sunset at Waialae Beach park. Kamana'opono performed a beautiful, personalized ceremony for us complete with the blowing of the conch. My husband was so excited to have Martin and Theo the VW as part our our day. It made it all that more special! Debbie Miller did our photos, and she did an amazing job! Even in February, the weather and the light were perfect. I highly recommend these lovely people! If you need help planning a lovely, intimate, short-notice wedding in Hawaii, this is the team to call. read more

June Dillinger brought our wedding together with her confident, comfortable presence. After a quick conversation about our vision and budget -- and with only a week to plan -- June offered spot-on advice for a venue, music, catering, flowers and more. Everything was congruent with our budget and vision. She has a welcoming, warm demeanor to bring a diverse group of family and guests together and make everyone feel so special on an important day. We couldn't imagine anyone else organizing our wedding and uniting us as a couple. We met her at a friends' beach wedding (which was absolutely perfect!) and immediately bonded. June and her team at I Do Hawaiian Weddings are charming, professional, knowledgable and very people-oriented. They are really something special -- an 11 on a scale from 1 to 10. read more

I Do Hawaiian Weddings - Thank you June!!! - Officiants Near Me

A little late with the review; slightly busy with the married life - LOL What an amazing day for us and one that couldn't have gone any smoother thanks to June and Debbie. Just to give you all an idea - We planned our wedding with little over 3weeks time, flew all the way from the East Coast, enjoyed our vacation and snuck in the wedding :) June walked us through the entire process from start to finish. She laid out all the packages for us, worked within our budget, lined up Debbie (who btw is an amazing photographer), helped with the license registration and officiated an amazing ceremony right on the beach. Would definitely recommend June's services to anyone looking to get married on the wonderful island of Oahu. Mahalo to June and Debbie. read more

I Do Hawaiian Weddings - Officiants Near Me

It was a perfect day, and it was perfect for us, in a place that we love and is so close to our hearts. And it was all possible because of June and "I Do Hawaiian Weddings". June created the exact wedding that we envisioned, plus she was flexible and efficient under challenging circumstances (and was a great sport too!) She made it seamless for us and special. Middle of a pandemic? We'll figure it out! Insanely short notice? Not a problem. Perform the ceremony on the water in a kayak? Sure! At sunrise on the North Shore? You got it. Accidentally fell into the water following the ceremony? Adds more flavor to the moment!! She rolled with all of it and added special details in a way that only June can do. It was the most magical, blissful moment of my life and I'm so grateful we trusted her to be part of it. I close my eyes and think of those moments... ...paddling out on the perfectly calm water, my handsome hubby-to-be waiting for me, the sun lighting up the mountains that surround our home, slipping into the water that has rejuvenated my soul all these years while kissing my new husband, looking all around and taking in the most memorable moment of my life. If you want to create a unique, memorable wedding, I highly encourage you to reach out to the folks at I Do Hawaiian Weddings. Thank you again for making our special day even more special than we could have imagined! read more

First of all, we are so grateful to have been able to get married in February before the COVID-19 pandemic. June was able to help us find the perfect officiant we had in mind for our special day! June was so easy to work with and quick to respond via email to help coordinate everything for our wedding. We were so lucky to have Kahu Brutus officiate our wedding and it was just absolutely incredible! Our ceremony was unforgettable. Kahu Brutus kept it light and enjoyable while also making it romantic and magical so much so that we got tons of rave reviews from all of our guests! He was able to offer us a beautiful ceremony with different local elements we could choose to include as we like. It was so unique and fit us perfectly! We are so happy to have had June help us and arrange for us to have Kahu Brutus make our marriage official! read more

a wedding...of course, this day is one of the biggest life changes you will ever experience. but when having a knowledgeable, professional, and most genuine officiant to start you off on your new adventure, it makes the ride so much smoother. When we first met June Dillinger, it was about 9 months out till out wedding. we were fortunate she was not booked. when we set a meeting time, she was so accommodating to what was convenient for us, and we met at a near by starbucks in our neighborhood. when you first meet someone, you never know what to expect. but once we met her, you could sense her genuine and thoughtful heart. she asked us questions that would help her get a sense of the type of couple we were. and it also helped her know what we wanted done during our ceremony. she explained what would happen on the day of the wedding. what we really loved as well, was that their website was so helpful. it answered all the questions we as far as how to even apply for a marriage license, options to different types of ceremonies offered, and much more. it also gave a brief introductions to all the different officiants available. It was just a wonderful experience working with June. she made the speech/vow portion for the planning very easy. she provided a template of would be said during the ceremony, but also welcomed any customizations you may want. which was awesome because we wanted majority do a non-religious ceremony. we had no stress during the ceremony, and we went with her suggested template as it was written so beautiful. all i can say is that you will not be disappointed. contact June and the "I do hawaiian weddings" team and schedule a meeting with her right away. don't waste a second hesitating. #trust read more

This review is long overdue for June! My [then fiance, now] wife is a diligent student of Astrology, and as such, it was imperative that we wed on an advantageous day & time to ensure a long lasting marriage. After months of readings and study we found the date that worked best for us...FINALLY! Only issue was, we had reserved another date for our "wedding" that worked best for family & friends to visit. Since we couldn't move that date we decided to find an officiant who could accommodate our needs. My wife came upon June during her research and reached out. We talked story about our journey & why getting married on that specific day at that specific time was a necessity, and in return she fully embraced and understood why we needed to get married when we did. As a Black lesbian couple, it was important that we find an officiant who could not only respect our wishes, but also respect us as a couple (so odd that I'm writing a line like that in 2019, but here we are), and we couldn't have found a better ally than June. I'd HIGHLY recommend June for any wedding or vow renewal. Her energy is bright and embracing. All 3 of us radiated in love and light that day; we even had a small sun shower during our vows. It was perfect. Hiring June also didn't break the bank as she was very open about accommodating all of our needs including financially. Many thanks & blessings again June for our beautiful day! -Team Thomas read more

I Do Hawaiian Weddings - June, Me, my wife - Officiants Near Me

My husband and I eloped last year on our 6 year anniversary October 17, 2015 in a sunrise ceremony on Kailua Beach. June was our phenomenal officiant that day and we still speak so highly of her! She blessed our lives more than she'll know. We just took forever to write a review for her because we've been spending this last year planning our big wedding celebration for our family here in Seattle; and now that its over we can reflect on how amazing our first year of marriage has been. Leading up to our wedding day June was very easy to communicate with. My sister in law referred her to us and was involved in the initial communications with June since my family is from Hawaii it was a little more convenient that way. My husband and I knew that God would bless our marriage in every way possible and did he ever by sending her to us! We did a sunrise ceremony and June went above and beyond for us. She helped me get ready by putting on my dress, foot jewelry and calmed my nerves. You see, my husband and I chose to keep our ceremony private because the foundation of our marriage is between us and God so the only people in attendance other than ourselves were June and our photographer, Nick. So, when June offered to help me get ready it meant so much more than she realized. The ceremony she conducted was perfect for us and absolutely symbolized, encouraged and uplifted everything my husband and I stand for. We were truly blessed to have had June do our ceremony and we HIGHLY recommend her and her team to anyone looking to have their wedding in Hawaii! June - Mahalo Nui Loa and God Bless! We love and appreciate you and wish you all the best! xo Marcus & Jesseca Antonio read more

Our 25th wedding vows renewal was just magical!! More than what we could have imagined! June and her team did a spectacular job! From the gorgeous views at Waialae Beach, Kahu Ryan Keali'i's poignant and meaningful ceremony, the lovely music by Butch, the beautiful interpretation hula dance by Celeste, the amazing moments that Sean Michel captured, my family, friends and we felt the genuine Aloha of love, peace and joy! Making the occasion so memorable and jubilant. If you are in the market of researching a wedding planner in Oahu, I more than highly recommend I do Hawaiian Weddings! While researching for wedding planning to renew our 25th wedding vows, I found June and her team to be the most cost-effective and best "bang for your buck" with what we wanted for our dream ceremony and their many services. After interviewing June on the phone (as we reside in California), I felt so comfortable with June. She is warm, easy-going, helpful, knowledgeable, and receptive. If you go with June and her team, you will be more than pleased. She and her team are very professional and exude the Aloha spirit! Mahalo nui loa, I do Hawaiian Weddings for making our ceremony so enchanting! read more

My Husband and I were married by June just 2 days ago at Kaka'ako Waterfront Park. (July 27, 2014) June was absolutely amazing. As soon as I found her through an online search and seen how much she truly loves what she does and how much passion she has, I knew she was the one that I wanted to marry us. I have never met her before our wedding day. When we first met it was like we knew each other for years. Of course I was nervous but somehow she kept me calm and everything went smoothly. She was there every step of the way throughout our ceremony. It was absolutely PERFECT!! Her words are so deep and she speaks with passion. If you are looking for someone to marry you and your other half, I HIGHLY recommend June Dillinger! I cannot thank June and her team enough for our beautiful ceremony!! read more

Planning a destination wedding from over 2600 miles away can definitely seem like a daunting task; however, June Dillinger and the team at I Do Hawaiian Weddings took on all the stress of the coordination, allowing us to place our focus on being in the moment during the most important and beautiful day of our lives. From our first emails with June and Sashya 6 months before the ceremony, we knew we were in good hands. Her communication with us was always timely and precise. She made sure every detail was taken care of and she was prepared for every contingency. Most of all, we were made to feel special with the most personalized service from everyone on her team. Thank you to Butch for the beautiful music to accompany our ceremony. Also we would like to thank Bill and Tony who made sure all 22 guests and the grooms parties made it to the beach safely. Thank you to Debbie Miller for the spectacular photography capturing this beautiful day on Waimanalo Beach. And a special thank you to our Kahu Pomaika'i for performing our traditional Hawaiian ceremony and for making every moment count. She immediately saw how emotional and nervous we initially were. She took several minutes when we made it down the aisle to help us relax, breathe, and be present in the moment. Thanks again June Dillinger and I Do Hawaiian Weddings!!! We cannot sing your praises enough!! Looking forward to seeing you when we renew our vows!! read more

The setup was absolutely beautiful. Thank you June & to your entire team! This wedding was at Wai'alae Beach Park. read more

We were married by June on 06/30/13 at Loulu Palm Estate in Haleiwa. June was very informative before the wedding. She corresponded to all of our emails and phone messages quickly. We wrote our own vows and she beautifully recited her vows to blend with ours. My fiancé and I were very comfortable with her guidance during the ceremony. She definitely made our experience at the ceremony intimate and at ease. My fiancé and I felt that we were the only ones at the wedding because June was sincere and gracious. We even received compliments on June's service from our guests. People loved her energy. She even blessed our dinner. Pros: 1- she is very affordable 2- she drove all of the way from town to North Shore 3- she is open and flexible with customizing the vows 4- very loving and fully present (focused on us) 5- professionally dressed 6- she is a true believer of love Cons: 1- we would have to wait to renew our vows to hire her again! read more

We were so lucky to have found June to officiate our wedding ceremony! A month before my wedding I found out that my original officiant could not make it. I looked June up and called her immediately. Luckily she was still available for that evening! I booked with her and she was able to provide me with important reminders all the way up until the wedding. She emailed me a template for my vows and gave me the opportunity to change what I wanted. June was always very easy to get in touch with via email or phone. The day of the wedding June was able to coach everyone on what to do and everything went so smoothly. She gave us an opportunity to recite our own vows to each other. My ceremony was perfect and exactly as I wanted it. Simple, romantic, lighthearted. June is such a natural at what she does and her voice is so beautiful. I would highly recommend her as a wedding officiant! read more

We got married through this company and we couldn't have asked for a better more understanding and helpful staff of people. They were great with time management, pricing, accuracy, communication and all the stuff we didn't know we had to do but that was required of us. The actual wedding performer June, she's an extraordinary human being and she has such a gentle, humble, respectable woman who offered us an experience and a moment we will never forget. We are indebted to her for what she's given US. We also happened to be married during the worst time of 2020 mid pandemic and it wouldn't of been known to anyone involved. We are eternally grateful for June and the entire staff and production of Idohawaiiweddings. Mahalo for all the aloha you've shared with us and we highly highly recommend their services read more

I Do Hawaiian Weddings - Our first photo as an official married couple with the woman who made it happen. - Officiants Near Me

If you've ever dreamt of a Tropical Wedding or beach Commitment Ceremony and aren't really sure how to go about planning the celebration....then you should contact I Do Hawaiian Weddings and allow June and her team to assist you in making your dream a reality. We had an AMAZING experience from the moment we reached out online to the follow-up blessing we received after returning home to the Mainland. Working with June and the wonderful folks from I Do Hawaiian Weddings was truly one of the easiest, most stress-free, and meaningful experiences we've ever had or could've imaged. Initially, we were concerned about the logistics of an out-of-state wedding, but reflecting back, things could not have been easier. Hawaii is a perfect destination wedding location as there are many convenient flights from the U.S. and with June's continued email assistance and guidance it was much easier to actually get a marriage license and have a ceremony in Hawaii then it would have been to be married anywhere else. She walked us through the whole process, even to getting the marriage license on a Saturday at the registrar's home! June has all the right contacts to make it simple. Thanks to I Do Hawaiian Weddings, our ceremony on the beach at sunset was picture perfect, spiritual, but light hearted and something we will NEVER forget. In addition to the fabulous wedding ceremony, June coordinated everything so we had fun the entire day from the moment Vicky and her team arrived to do our hair and make-up, the drive up the coast with Bill to the creative pictures we took with Debbie. And an extra shout-out for Debbie, we had sent her a few ideas and shots of others as sample pictures that we would like and she completely outdid herself. She was so patient and helpful, just to get the right shot at the right time for sunset and we couldn't be happier. It's been almost a year now that we have been married and whenever we reflect on our wedding experience, we think back to how June made what is for most people, an incredibly stressful and expensive event a simple, reasonably priced, fun filled memory ~ a true Tropical Hawaiian breeze! read more

5 stars don't seem enough for me to rate "I do Hawaiian Weddings" We highly recommend June to everyone looking for an officiant. She has such a flow of genuine love exuding from her every breath, it makes her the right officiant for your special day. Thank you June, your then best. read more

I agree that 5 stars doesn't begin to express how fantastic this company was in helping me with my wedding. I selected "Brutus" Blake Labenz to officiate the ceremony as well as a make up artist and musician. Everyone was absolutely outstanding! June was always pleasant and very responsive. Brutus provided a traditional Hawaiian ceremony that was beautiful and touching. Everyone was impressed with him! The musician was awesome and really enhanced the beauty of the ceremony. The make-up artist, Dawn, was friendly, professional, and very sweet. Overall, June and her team are excellent. I planned this wedding from Chicago and everything was seamless on the day of the ceremony! Sign Up and Post Cancel read more

June and her colleagues did excellent job in planning our ceremony. Mostly everything was arranged when we arrived in Honolulu, we only needed to go to the Department of Public Health to pick up the preliminary license. The driver was a sweetheart who took us to the ceremony was a sweetheart. The venue was a great beach setting, and June was there to serve as both a witness and to ensure there were no glitches. The officiant was wonderful, the photographer went above all expectations in arranging both candid and posed shots. They all strove to put us at ease and make our wedding memorable. I would wholeheartedly recommend I Do Hawaiian Weddings for all your wedding planning needs. read more

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 caring 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! Kenny Jefferis read more

Did not have the amazing experience with June that we thought we would have. Before I continue this review, this is for her consultation ONLY, not any actual wedding ceremony that she preformed: A few months back ago me and my fiancé were still looking to book an officiant and came across I Do Hawaiian Weddings through WeddingWired. We booked the consultation with her over the phone, she was very friendly and professional, however it would have to be two weeks out from when we called (its always wedding season in Hawaii I'm sure, so we understood she was very busy.) However when the two weeks went by, and we showed up at her office June was no where to be found. Again, we thought she just might be running a little late so we continued to wait. Finally, about 15 minutes after our appointment was supposed to begin we decided to call her. She answered right away and was very forth coming about the fact that she had completely FORGOT about our appointment! She said that she was near by and would get over to her office ASAP. my inner monologue was screaming, red flag, red flag. When she finally arrived she was very sweet, sat us down in her office, but not before having a conversation with one of her colleagues about the various works she does with her church, which on top of weddings seemed to be quite a long list. Once her colleague left she finally had the time of day for us, and went straight into her sales pitch, and boy was she good. You could definitely tell she's been doing this or a while. When everything was said and done she said she would have one of her assistants e-mail us the price list. I'm still waiting for that e-mail to this very day. June seems sweet, but she's a very busy woman, but guess what, so am I. I don't have time to continue to call this person and remind them that I exist. And I already have enough worries, I don't need to add another thinking: "Is she even going to show up to our wedding to officiate?" if we book her. read more

My husband and I got married by June Dilinger of I Do Hawaiian Weddings on Oct 30, 2012 in an intimate beach wedding on the magnificent shores & cliffs of Makapu'u Beach. We live in the suburbs of DC and had never been to Oahu before, so most of our wedding plans were made via research on the internet. It was just a mere few weeks before our wedding date, and although there is no shortage of companies that offer the service in Honolulu, picking someone to perform the most personal of ceremonies in our life was no small decision. Both my husband and I wanted to make sure we found someone that would have set the right kind of energy for our special intimate day. June and her website caught my eye, and we watched her video together before deciding to give her a call. From the first call, we felt very good about her. She was always available and happy to speak with us, and always so warm, thoughtful and helpful on any matter that we had, even when it didn't relate directly to the ceremony. In retrospect, June contributed quite a bit in making our wedding day so stress free. For our wedding, we wanted a simple, non denominational ceremony on the beach with just a few of our family members. June worked with us beforehand to make sure all the details were as we envisioned, sending us ahead of time the vows, checking if we wanted to customize it with our own words, and what she would be wearing. She took care of the beach permit for us with no hassle or paperwork whatsoever from our end, which meant a lot to us - my husband and I both hate paperwork! She also took care of coordinating the design of two flower bouquets with her vendor based on some ideas I had as well as the ordering my husband's wedding lei. When the time came and we arrived on Oahu, she checked in with us to make sure we arrived safely. The day before the wedding, we planned to do a day-before photo shoot so June asked us where my makeup artist's studio was, and then met us there to deliver the first bouquet. How sweet! Plus it was a nice way to meet her before the big day. On the day of the wedding, June personally drove the second bouquet to our hotel. Having performed ceremonies at Makapu'u Beach before, she was familiar with the site enough to know the best place to have the ceremony among the black lava rocks. The ceremony itself was everything I could've hoped.. June was very present and exuded positivity, sincerity and love. Those details seem small, for even for our super-tiny beach wedding, but in reality it went a long way in making the go by so smoothly. If I had to do it all over again (hopefully not - hah!!), I would certainly choose June again! read more

My husband and I renewed our vows on the beach for our 5th anniversary this past September 21st, and we couldn't imagine it being any more magical than with June! From start to finish we received great service and communication, and the day of she went out of her way to ensure every moment was special. We would highly recommend her services to anyone, and look forward to renewing our vows in another 5 years in beautiful Honolulu with her! read more

June Dillinger: Amazing Even though June was there for our short ceremony, she performed beyond my expectations, from before the ceremony til the end. The day we called and reserved her service for our wedding day, instantly she wanted to get to know us on a personal level. She really has a passion for what she does and that showed on the day of our ceremony. She was very calming and soothing when our emotions got the best of us. June really has done a great job on making us feel comfortable, cuz we all know how nerve wrecking the day of our wedding can be. read more

The only stressful part of our wedding planning was choosing a coordinator. It ended there as soon as we choose June with I Do Hawaiian Weddings. Prior to our arrival all of our questions, concerns and changes were answered so quickly, we never had to hit "refresh" hoping for a reply. The day of our wedding was absolutely spectacular! Our driver, Bill, picked us up promptly and gave us a call 10 minutes before he was to arrive to let us know. We were, of course, running behind, but he assured us that we had plenty of time and not to rush, that he would be waiting. Upon arriving at Makapu'u Beach, June and her team were waiting for us and began Video (Owen) and Photography (Vince) as soon as we stepped our of the car. We felt like we were on the red carpet, lol. We choose to have a Hawaiian Ceremony with Blake La Benz so we could have the Cracking of the Coconut. Blake was great and it was a wonderful ceremony, we couldn't have asked for anything more. Overall, June and her team were absolutely amazing. It was our very special day and they made it all possible. read more

I planned a vow renewal for my cousin this year in may. I searched online for ministers in Honolulu, Waikiki, Ward etc and found June. Her price was amazing and she answered all the questions we asked her. She was very friendly from the very first time i spoke with her. She even emailed me a confirmation that we were confirmed for our date, time and location for the vow renewal, on the email she also included her cell phone number incase of any emergencies and that way we could reach her after she has left the office. June was very personable, i called June one day prior to the vow renewal to confirm and she confirmed. The vow renewal was amazing my cousins were so happy with her services and so was i. If your planning a wedding or a vow renewal go to JUNE you won't be disappointed. I am now in the process of planning my very own wedding and i have asked June to be our Minister. I know she is gonna make our day even more special! TRUST ME you wont be disappointed if you book with June. Thank you for taking the time to read my review, now hurry up and book with her! read more

June arrived just in the nick of time to my Spring 2014 wedding. She was calm, cool and collected, took her place, and officiated the wedding without a hitch. Her vows and style are amazing, and there's a certain something about her that puts your mind at ease. We had lots of compliments on our choice of officiant, which was great, because that was the first time we were meeting her as well! Well done, June! We will see you in a few years for vow renewal! ;) read more

I don't have words to explain how beautiful, fun and perfect our ceremony was with I Do Hawaii Weddings!!! June and her wonderful team covered every detail, took time to answer every question, and made the day perfect for us and our family! The price was exactly right, we were able to personalize the things we wanted and were never pressured to get more than we needed. They even went above and beyond when unforeseen circumstances forced a last-minute change to our timeline! Mahalo Nui Loa to Auntie June for her coordination, Uncle Butch for the lovely uke ambience, Kahu Brutus for the intimate Hawaiian ceremony, and Miss Debbie for the super-fun photo shoot! We LOVED every minute of it and highly recommend I Do Hawaii Weddings to anyone looking for a stress-free ceremony that is ALL ABOUT LOVE! Katrease and Renea read more

From my first phone call to June until we departed after the ceremony, I couldn't have asked for more. This was my first (hopefully only) wedding and I was nervous. But June took care of every little detail. Especially on the big day, June made us both feel relaxed. She explained everything in detail before the ceremony and then walked us through everything. I think she even had something to do with the weather because it was a perfect cool trade winds day. If you have any amount of anxiety, you are in good hands with June. Our guests really liked her as well with some of the married couples commenting on how well everything went. I highly recommend! Thank you June! read more

I Do Hawaiian Weddings are the best outdoor venue for planning & photography. My family of four met June and Deb at Kahala Waialae Beach park on the Sunday before Christmas. We all wore masks and maintained social distancing rules but the photos made us look so close and intimate! Tim and I were able to renew our wedding vows for our 25th wedding anniversary in a fun and safe way. Mahalo to "I Do Hawaiian Weddings" for making our 2020 a very special time. read more

June was very flexible and able to work with our very specific schedule. We did not plan ahead at all, but decided to marry shortly after same-sex marriage became an option for us here in Hawaii. I wanted the official date to be the same as our previous ceremonies to consolidate anniversary dates. So I called June the day before and she was able to accommodate our tight schedule. Also, being our third ceremony, we did not want anything fancy or expensive. June made the very simple ceremony short and nice and even reminded us to take a couple of snap shots, which we had forgotten to do at our civil union. It was exactly what we were looking for! Mahalo! read more

Working with June at I Do was an amazing experience. Not being familiar with the island, I was getting a bit stressed before talking with June. I Do has great packages, and everything was already thought of. It was so nice to be able to not have to stress about everything. Brutus was our officiant, and we couldn't have asked for a better ceremony. Every item we wanted was done above and beyond our expectation. He was friendly, helpful and most of all familiar with Hawaiian culture. Debbie was our photographer - and not only was she so stinkin cute, she is great at her art. She directed us perfectly, made us feel comfortable, and the pictures turned out amazing!!! Our ceremony was at sunrise, and the entire staff was early and energized, and made our wedding day more perfect than we could've hoped!! Thank you SOOO much for everything!! read more

I am a coordinator for Zenju Weddings and Events of Hawaii. I must say I work with June Dillinger pretty frequently. We book her quite a bit, due to her professionalism. June has made all of our clients extremely satisfied. She has an positive demeanor and truly cares for the couple. When she marries a couple she truly feels the power of her words. June has always been punctual, arrives prepared and extremely well dressed. The Zenju team enjoys working with June. We refer her to all of our clients... read more

June has been amazing from beginning to end. We booked it last minute after we were turned down from another person. Our payment that we gave over the phone wasn't going through. May have been due to the fact that we now live in Vegas and our bank probably company flagged it but she offered to have us pay in cash the day of the wedding. After speaking to our bank, we were able to pay again the next day. She has a passion for what she does and you won't regret it! My husband and I were married at Magic Island and it was packed. Parking was hard to find and she was also patient when some of our guest had arrived 20 minutes late. My husband and I wanted to get married next year but because my brother is in the military and he'll be getting deployed at the end of the year and it was a perfect time since our whole family were actually here on the island. Thanks again June for all your help! read more

For my husband and me, 2013 is proving to be a very momentous year. In April, we welcomed our first child (baby boy) into this world. Then in September, we had the opportunity to travel to Honolulu, HI. While in HI we visited family and celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary by renewing our vows. The search for an officiant for a small destination event such as ours was nerve wracking! However, after reading all of the wonderful reviews on "I Do Hawaiian Weddings" I knew June and her team would be a great fit. June was prompt in responding to my questions via email and suggested a great location to safely accommodate our family who represented every age bracket and physical restriction from 5mos (w/stroller) to 78 yo (w/wheelchair). She also paired the perfect officiant, Rev. Gary, for our ceremony. As for the ceremony itself, Rev. Gary performed a traditional Hawaiian ceremony which included conch shell blowing, water ceremony, lei and ring blessing. Rev. Gary was very professional, warm and engaging. I was so nervous since we did not have a rehearsal, but everything went so smoothly! My husband's niece was in attendance and played our flower girl, not sure how or when we could include her in the ceremony, Rev. Gary found a way to include her in the ceremony. The best of all occurred while hubby and I were saying our vows. We stood very close to shore w/Diamond Head in the background and thought that the rain we felt was splashing from the ocean hitting the rocks from below. We finally stopped gazing into each others eyes long enough to realize there was a light rain shower which produced not just one but TWO beautiful Hawaiian rainbows! It brought us to tears!! We were truly blessed Hawaiian style! I Do Hawaiian Weddings may not have been behind the rainbows, but they sure did make the whole experience very memorable. Thank you I Do Hawaiian Weddings! We will never ever forget this special moment... it was a dream come true. read more

My husband and I were planning on a wedding ceremony in Tahiti, but quickly realized that the paperwork to get married internationally is a nightmare. We had a 30 hour layover in Honolulu, so we wanted to only sign papers to seal the deal. Conveniently enough, June offers this service. She came to our hotel at 8am and we were expecting, and only really needed, papers to sign and that's it. Instead she made the whole thing SO special. She insisted on taking pictures to show our families, brought bubbles, gave us a page with a Hawaiian marriage blessing on it for us to keep as a memento, and was generally just incredibly warm and wonderful. We had honestly thought the document signing would be pretty emotionless and we were planning on saving all our excitement for Tahiti, but we ended up finishing up feeling like real newlyweds! This was 100% because of the way June took us through the process. Afterward, she emailed us a link to our temporary marriage certificate, along with a really kind message. I cannot recommend this place enough. If June made our 20-minute signing of papers feel so magical, I can't imagine how great she'd be to have for a whole ceremony. read more

June and her team are amazing! When our original wedding venue fell through, June helped us find a new venue and walked us through the entire vision of how our ceremony would be. She was so helpful and kind along the way and on our wedding day everything was absolutely perfect. Debbie was our photographer and she was so friendly and kind as well. I would highly recommend I Do Hawaii Weddings to anyone! read more
