This unique Hawaiian ceremony experience starts with the blowing of the conch. A Hawaiian chant blesses and calls forth the mana and honors the a’ina (land) and the ancestors and is followed by a traditional lei exchange between bride and groom signifying their Aloha for each other. A ukulele player and graceful hula dancer supports the presence of the spirit of aloha in your marriage. Her dances are performed throughout the ceremony. The officiate will bless your marriage or vow renewal in both Hawaiian and English. The rings are blessed with ti leaf and ocean water held in a beautiful koa bowl signifying the strength of your relationship.
