"My daughter, Joan, and I want to thank you
for the incredibly wonderful wedding ceremony you did for Naya and Danny.
I am so glad I made the decision to make the trip from Michigan at my age (89 on Tuesday!)
to attend my grand daughter's special day.
I was pleased when you walked me down the aisle to my chair,
and enjoyed our short conversation, especially when you noticed our matching ruby rings.
I am telling everyone about this beautiful ceremony and the enchanting Reverand Kuya!
Thanks so much for being there!"

"I just wanted to follow up with another MAHALO for your amazing ceremony
and the heartfelt sentiments that you imparted on our family.
In speaking with our family members after the wedding,
to a PERSON, I am confident that you succeeded in communicating
the true meaning of ALOHA and its roots in Hawaii.
Being away from Hawaii, other than the occasional summer vacation, tugs at my heart...
and is only healed when I experience displays of ALOHA such as yours...
as I said as you departed, 'You TOUCHED MY HEART.'
Mahalo again Kuya.....Aloha a hui hou."

"I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how wonderful
our experience was with Kuya for our March 1 ceremony.
Even though it was just the two of us, I truly felt cared about on our wedding day.
He went out of his way to make everything special for us.
Kuya was so loving and gracious. I loved the traditional Hawaiian ceremony.
It was something Paul and I will cherish forever.
Thank you for everything. Really I can't find the words to emphasize this enough."

"It is with great pleasure that I write to you in regards to the
Hawaiian wedding ceremony you performed for Christy and I.
Honestly, when you buy a wedding package over the internet you just do not know what to expect.
You were professional, kind hearted and very engaging.
You helped take the moment and make it feel authentic and special for us.
We could not have asked for anything more. It will forever be a fond memory for us.
Nothing about it felt rushed. It was truly what our best hopes of the day would be.
I would highly recommend your services to others –
unfortunately we don’t know many other couples heading to Hawaii to get married at this time.
So, if anyone in the future has questions or would like to talk to us
regarding the ceremony you performed,
I would be glad to speak with them on your behalf.
We have no regrets on having our wedding in Hawaii and you were a big part of that!
Thanks for helping make our special day even better."
Christy and Turner
"We wanted to send our sincere appreciation to Kuya for a very memorable wedding ceremony.
It was so comfortable and heartfelt, especially with my brother and sister-in-law there.
Robert spoke from the heart and we felt it was a very spirtual celebration
as most of our loved ones could not be there in person."

"My husband, PJ and I are doing great!
We're planning a Hawaiian themed party for July to celebrate with our family and friends!
My step daughter Alexis still talks about Hawaii and one of her favorite pictures from the wedding
is the one with her and Kuya huddled over the marriage license while she signed as a witness.
Kuya made her feel so special and involved by asking her to do such a simple thing
and that's why we brought her with us in the first place:
to show her that we were becoming a family where she would always be included!
I don't imagine many brides can look back on their wedding day with as much satisfaction as I can.
It was perfect!"

He is undoubtedly one of the kindest, and most genuine persons I have ever encountered.
For this wonderful occasion, our wedding day, we could not think of anyone better suited

Kuya has a wonderful and distinctive aura that no one could deny or remain indifferent about.
He simply radiates love and happiness."
