Karen (3rd from right) and Reverend David Tasaka (far right) were outstanding, sincere, and delivered the ceremony we'd dreamed of.

Reverend David and Karen helped to put together the perfect simple ceremony we were looking for! We loved the readings that Reverend David did and the blessing, and Karen's kind guidance to remember that it's about us. They were kind, sweet, helpful, considerate, professional, and had great energy, and we are so thankful for their assistance and presence! I would highly recommend Hawaiian Creative Weddings to anyone looking to get married on island.

We had Mr. David Tasaka officiate our wedding this past February. We did not have any rehearsal but it was ok as he guided us. He was the highlight of our ceremony I must say. His words were so touching and our wedding vows that he wrote was beautiful. Also his voice was very calming and soothing. Thank you so much Mr. Tasaka! So glad you were our officiant.

Working with the team at Hawaiian Creative Weddings was great. We planned our wedding in just 6 weeks and I'm so grateful they were available! There was initially a slight miscommunication about the exact location the day of and I was a bit worried on the phone, but after meeting them where we were set up they were extremely kind, professional, and made our special day beyond perfect. We got the Hawaiian package with music and photos. We loved the conch blowing, lei exchange, Rev. David gave us a touching ceremony, and the music was that extra beautiful cherry on top and it made our attendees cry! The photos were beautiful and I received them just a few days after. I would 100% recommend them and loved everything about our wedding day. You won't be disappointed! :)Thanks again!

We were a little over a month away from having our wedding in Honolulu. We contacted several other judges and officiants listed by the Department of Health. However, none of them was available on the date of my wedding. We were close to freaking out because we only wanted a simple ceremony but most same-sex wedding performers asked for too much money and provided services that we didn't need. Then I found reverend Karen and David. They have simple packages that fit our budget/needs plus whenever I called or emailed, both of them were always so nice and friendly. They made sure everything was well-explained to us prior to our arrival. The day of our wedding, we only reserved the wedding service from rev. David but rev. also came out and took some photos for us. P/S: we did not reserve the photo package, she did that for us for free. Plus she was recovering from a broken foot.The ceremony was beautiful, rev. David's speech was emotional and we had the perfect wedding at a beautiful beach as we hoped for. Everything went smoothly thanks to such generous help from both of them.After all, we were very pleased with the service from rev. David and Karen. I highly recommend them if you are in Honolulu and want the beautiful Hawaii wedding of your dream.

The situation: Six weeks before our big day, our friend told us they were unable to perform our wedding. OMG! Then a fellow wedding officiant recommended Reverend David Tasaka to us. He definitely saved our wedding ceremony!I hastily emailed David to ask if he was available to officiate our ceremony. Luckily, he was free. His wife Karen was so efficient at scheduling our ceremony, as well as setting up a meeting and also having David at our rehearsal (which we paid additional for). Both of them were so organized and always responded so quickly to my emails. Payment was easy, as the invoice was sent via Square. We met with David to see if he would be a good fit to officiate our wedding. He was so considerate and sent us a picture via email so we would know who to look out for when we met. His demeanor is so calm, and his positive energy calmed down this stressed-out bride-to-be! He is so easy to talk to, and we had a great conversation sharing how my fiancée (now husband) and I met (via match.com). I shared with him that it was my late mother's idea to look for a mate online, and David had the great idea that I share that during the ceremony! It was a perfect way to incorporate her memory into our big day. On their website http://www.hawaiiancreativeweddings.com/ there are packages, details about both David and Karen, and a list of beautiful beach sites that they enjoy performing ceremonies at. There honesty isn't anything that I'd change about my wedding ceremony (even though it involved me "ugly crying" haha), and this is thanks to Rev. David! It flowed so smoothly and turned out even better than expected.

We wanted to renew our wedding vows in Hawaii. With Karen and David's help we were able to plan the perfect ceremony on our wedding anniversary. We never thought the pictures would turn out so amazing. We posted them on Facebook and our friends commented things like stunning, gorgeous, etc. Not only did we get a beautiful ceremony, including a traditional Hawaiian rite, but also the most beautiful pictures we have ever had taken together. They also made the photo shoot so much fun!We are so grateful to Hawaiian Creative Weddings for the memorable moments on Magic Island and the stunning pictures we will cherish forever. We highly recommend them to any couple who may be looking to have a gorgeous and fun wedding or other type of ceremony in Hawaii! These folks are fantastic!Thank you Karen and David.Eternally grateful,Lu & Dave

Mahalo to Rev David and Karen for an amazing ceremony! He was so sweet even though we started much later than planned. I'm not one to usually write reviews, mostly because I don't know what to say but I know we would definitely recommend this company to our friends & family.Photo by LuckyWeLive
