Maui Wedding Ministers

Pia Aluli was born and raised on the island of Oahu. He has spent most of his life performing Hawaiian music for hotels, restaurants, conventions and weddings. He has also toured extensively in Canada and the mainland sharing his culture and Hawaiian music.
 

Kahu Alalani Astara Hill trained under "Papa" the Blessed Kahu Kawika Ka'alakea. She carries on the ministry as his chosen  student. Her work includes Hawaiian weddings, blessings, baptisms, and funerals. Papa was one of the last great Kahunas in Hawaii and Maui's leading Kahuna as well as a Pentecostal Minister. Alalani was his personal assistant in the last years of his life.
 

Alalani offers an authentic ancient Hawaiian ceremony which includes Hamo (anointing palms with holy oil) and Ope'a (binding) of wrists with sacred cordage to join your two flames as you say your vows. This ceremony includes a ceremonial food or drink of Niu (coconut) for fertility or Awa root drink or Kulolo (taro/coconut cake) for ancestors or to join families. You will be wrapped in a wedding Kapa (blessed bark cloth) or receive two keepsake Kukui nut bracelets to seal your commitment in light. The ancient ceremony is an additional charge.

Rev. Alalani is also available as an Jewish officiant. Although we do have a Rabbi on island, he is not always available to perform a Jewish ceremony. She has studied the Jewish protocol and can perform a ceremony, complete with a Hebrew blessing. When you call me, I'll go over all the details with you.

Rev. Laki Kaahumanu is a Hawaiian minister who has been performing weddings for a long, long time. He has personally trained many of the other ministers on Maui. Rev. Laki performs several ceremonies and will blow the Hawaiian conch shell and perform chants at your wedding. Sample Ceremony.
 

Rev. Ernest Pua'a is a Hawaiian minister that I enjoy working with.
 

Rev. Ron Winkler was educated and ordained to the ministry, approaches each ceremony with an understanding of its importance. Ron was ordained in 1974 through a large, non-denominational congregation. He is a preferred minister for resorts such as the Four Seasons and Grand Wailea on the island of Maui. His easy-going personality and communication skills will bring a focused passion to your ceremony.
 

His wedding vows will express your commitment to this union.  He draws on his background as a minister, writer for TV news, and editor & founder of Maui's largest weekly newspaper.  Ron has carefully crafted vows of poetic elegance.  Vows used can also be modified to include special readings.

Christian Ministers
 

Rev. Charles Casco & Rev. David Courson
 

We have two new ministers that we have added. Both are true non-denominational ministers serving  at Calvary Chapel in South Maui. Both are warm and personable and have a heart for God.  Both will customize their ceremony for you individually.  Rev. David Courson will even add a little Hawaiian if you like! They're so new  to me, I don't have photos up yet!  They are not new to performing weddings as each has performed hundreds of ceremonies.
