We eloped to Maui and said our vows on Oneloa (Ironwoods) Beach, then had a private picnic for two afterwards. Pia has a wonderful energy and is generous with his gifts of song and guitar. What a beautiful moment he gave us to remember. This is the man you want to marry you to your beloved. He is a truly lovely human being. Mahalo, Reverend Aluli.

The most special thing about our ceremony was being able to finally unite as one officially in such a beautiful place, surrounded by only each other on what was the most perfect, secluded beach. Shane, our officiant, was so incredible and made us feel our big moment in every way imaginable. I truly felt like taking photos together was really fun and those are moments that we will never forget. I don't think I can do this venue justice with a review alone--so, I'll have to add these incredible photos to really show you how incredible this was. What a masterful job Shane and the team did on our wedding ceremony and photography. We are so excited that we got the opportunity to get married on Maui with the best team ever!

It could not have been any better! If I could give 100 stars stars I would. Shane performed the ceremony masterfully. He is so wonderful and down to earth. He is an excellent photographer. OMG the pictures are gorgeous. His food recommendations are so on point!! and he has quite the set of lungs! (you'll notice when he blows the conch shell at the beginning of the ceremony). You HAVE to book Wayne. His ukulele playing adds the perfect touch He performed a traditional Hawaiian blessing which made the experience just... magical . This was the best experience of my life. Thank you all so so much

Believe all the amazing reviews; you can't go wrong with Makena Weddings!…read more We had a pandemic-delayed wedding and had to postpone twice over a couple years. Makena Weddings made these postponements soooo easy for us, finding new dates, rescheduling all our vendors, and giving us nothing but support through the whole process! We worked primarily with Cindy, and the entire experience of planning our destination wedding at Olowalu Plantation House was a breeze! Wedding planning has a reputation of being super stressful, but honestly our experience could not be any different with the amazing support, guidance, and obviously logistics-handling that Cindy provided. Cindy brought our vision board to life with the perfect vendors for rentals, her recommendations were spot on, and moreover, she was so attentive to details. My husband and I consider ourselves very detail-oriented, and we were so happy that Cindy paid careful attention to every little thing, called out anything that might bother us so that we could consider readjusting, and took care of every situation without skipping a beat. The day of our wedding could not have gone smoother. Everything was perfect, we were so carefully attended to, and the evening went flawlessly without a single worry from us. If you want the beautiful wedding of your dreams, no stress or worries, and wonderfully caring and detail-focused people to work with, look no further than Makena Weddings!

We chose Makena Weddings for our small sunset beach ceremony, and they made everything effortless…read more Having attended a ceremony they coordinated ~10 years ago, we knew we were in good hands. Laurie and Cindy guided us through their beach package, adding a musician at our request (they booked Marvin Tevaga), recommending the perfect beach location, arranging Amber Quale Photography, and having co-founder Reverend Al Terry officiate. The bride shared a few bouquet ideas, and the result was stunning. We planned everything over email just a month in advance, and every vendor they recommended was outstanding. As Laurie predicted, we had the beach to ourselves. Mother Nature gave us a breathtaking sunset that Amber captured beautifully, Marvin's ukulele and voice added elegance and joy, and Al not only felt like family but was genuinely engaged--helping us focus on the meaning of the moment rather than just the logistics. If you want a stress-free, classy, and unforgettable beach wedding ceremony, Makena Weddings is the way to go.

A-MAZING! That's…read moreall I can say, after sitting down with Brenda for the first time. I've found that some gifted psychic mediums may focus on just one area of expertise - and then when you are looking for another service, you have to start over with someone else. Brenda, on the other hand, can do it all - and she's the real deal. A natural-born and gifted channel, psychic and medium, Brenda's skills are broad and can include readings with deceased relative, finding lost pets and people, living pet communication, energy clearings, inspiration soul purpose readings, past-life regressions, you name it - and MORE! Brenda's refreshingly frank, no-holds-barred approach was very welcome, and I will be using Brenda long-term to work on areas in my life in which I wish to super-charge improvement. Stay Blessed, all!

We did it at sunset at one of the most beautiful beaches. You will not be disappointed. The photos were sent to me within an hour, unedited. We will be picking the ones for him to edit, but honestly, even how they look now, they are absolutely gorgeous.
