Options, Packages, Prices and Fees
Hawaiian elements are designed for everyone.
Traditions are passed down from generation to generation and shared with people from all over the world. When a couple request a ceremony location or element that is not appropriate it is my kuleana, responsibility to share, explain why its not okay.
I find that couples appreciate the clarification and my honesty.
Couples I meet want to be respectful and want to embrace
the Hawaiian culture, and the islands in the right way.
