I Do Hawaiian Weddings

June Dillinger brought our wedding together with her confident, comfortable presence. After a quick conversation about our vision and budget -- and with only a week to plan -- June offered spot-on advice for a venue, music, catering, flowers and more. Everything was congruent with our budget and vision.She has a welcoming, warm demeanor to bring a diverse group of family and guests together and make everyone feel so special on an important day. We couldn't imagine anyone else organizing our wedding and uniting us as a couple.We met her at a friends' beach wedding (which was absolutely perfect!) and immediately bonded. June and her team at I Do Hawaiian Weddings are charming, professional, knowledgable and very people-oriented. They are really something special -- an 11 on a scale from 1 to 10.

A little late with the review; slightly busy with the married life - LOLWhat an amazing day for us and one that couldn't have gone any smoother thanks to June and Debbie. Just to give you all an idea - We planned our wedding with little over 3weeks time, flew all the way from the East Coast, enjoyed our vacation and snuck in the wedding :)June walked us through the entire process from start to finish. She laid out all the packages for us, worked within our budget, lined up Debbie (who btw is an amazing photographer), helped with the license registration and officiated an amazing ceremony right on the beach.Would definitely recommend June's services to anyone looking to get married on the wonderful island of Oahu.Mahalo to June and Debbie.

It was a perfect day, and it was perfect for us, in a place that we love and is so close to our hearts. And it was all possible because of June and "I Do Hawaiian Weddings". June created the exact wedding that we envisioned, plus she was flexible and efficient under challenging circumstances (and was a great sport too!) She made it seamless for us and special.Middle of a pandemic? We'll figure it out! Insanely short notice? Not a problem. Perform the ceremony on the water in a kayak? Sure! At sunrise on the North Shore? You got it. Accidentally fell into the water following the ceremony? Adds more flavor to the moment!! She rolled with all of it and added special details in a way that only June can do. It was the most magical, blissful moment of my life and I'm so grateful we trusted her to be part of it.I close my eyes and think of those moments......paddling out on the perfectly calm water, my handsome hubby-to-be waiting for me, the sun lighting up the mountains that surround our home, slipping into the water that has rejuvenated my soul all these years while kissing my new husband, looking all around and taking in the most memorable moment of my life. If you want to create a unique, memorable wedding, I highly encourage you to reach out to the folks at I Do Hawaiian Weddings.Thank you again for making our special day even more special than we could have imagined!

First of all, we are so grateful to have been able to get married in February before the COVID-19 pandemic. June was able to help us find the perfect officiant we had in mind for our special day! June was so easy to work with and quick to respond via email to help coordinate everything for our wedding. We were so lucky to have Kahu Brutus officiate our wedding and it was just absolutely incredible! Our ceremony was unforgettable. Kahu Brutus kept it light and enjoyable while also making it romantic and magical so much so that we got tons of rave reviews from all of our guests! He was able to offer us a beautiful ceremony with different local elements we could choose to include as we like. It was so unique and fit us perfectly! We are so happy to have had June help us and arrange for us to have Kahu Brutus make our marriage official!

This review is long overdue for June!My [then fiance, now] wife is a diligent student of Astrology, and as such, it was imperative that we wed on an advantageous day & time to ensure a long lasting marriage. After months of readings and study we found the date that worked best for us...FINALLY! Only issue was, we had reserved another date for our "wedding" that worked best for family & friends to visit. Since we couldn't move that date we decided to find an officiant who could accommodate our needs. My wife came upon June during her research and reached out. We talked story about our journey & why getting married on that specific day at that specific time was a necessity, and in return she fully embraced and understood why we needed to get married when we did. As a Black lesbian couple, it was important that we find an officiant who could not only respect our wishes, but also respect us as a couple (so odd that I'm writing a line like that in 2019, but here we are), and we couldn't have found a better ally than June.I'd HIGHLY recommend June for any wedding or vow renewal. Her energy is bright and embracing. All 3 of us radiated in love and light that day; we even had a small sun shower during our vows. It was perfect.Hiring June also didn't break the bank as she was very open about accommodating all of our needs including financially. Many thanks & blessings again June for our beautiful day!-Team Thomas

My husband and I eloped last year on our 6 year anniversary October 17, 2015 in a sunrise ceremony on Kailua Beach. June was our phenomenal officiant that day and we still speak so highly of her! She blessed our lives more than she'll know. We just took forever to write a review for her because we've been spending this last year planning our big wedding celebration for our family here in Seattle; and now that its over we can reflect on how amazing our first year of marriage has been. Leading up to our wedding day June was very easy to communicate with. My sister in law referred her to us and was involved in the initial communications with June since my family is from Hawaii it was a little more convenient that way. My husband and I knew that God would bless our marriage in every way possible and did he ever by sending her to us!We did a sunrise ceremony and June went above and beyond for us. She helped me get ready by putting on my dress, foot jewelry and calmed my nerves. You see, my husband and I chose to keep our ceremony private because the foundation of our marriage is between us and God so the only people in attendance other than ourselves were June and our photographer, Nick. So, when June offered to help me get ready it meant so much more than she realized. The ceremony she conducted was perfect for us and absolutely symbolized, encouraged and uplifted everything my husband and I stand for. We were truly blessed to have had June do our ceremony and we HIGHLY recommend her and her team to anyone looking to have their wedding in Hawaii! June - Mahalo Nui Loa and God Bless! We love and appreciate you and wish you all the best! xo Marcus & Jesseca Antonio

Planning a destination wedding from over 2600 miles away can definitely seem like a daunting task; however, June Dillinger and the team at I Do Hawaiian Weddings took on all the stress of the coordination, allowing us to place our focus on being in the moment during the most important and beautiful day of our lives.From our first emails with June and Sashya 6 months before the ceremony, we knew we were in good hands. Her communication with us was always timely and precise. She made sure every detail was taken care of and she was prepared for every contingency. Most of all, we were made to feel special with the most personalized service from everyone on her team. Thank you to Butch for the beautiful music to accompany our ceremony. Also we would like to thank Bill and Tony who made sure all 22 guests and the grooms parties made it to the beach safely.Thank you to Debbie Miller for the spectacular photography capturing this beautiful day on Waimanalo Beach.And a special thank you to our Kahu Pomaika'i for performing our traditional Hawaiian ceremony and for making every moment count. She immediately saw how emotional and nervous we initially were. She took several minutes when we made it down the aisle to help us relax, breathe, and be present in the moment. Thanks again June Dillinger and I Do Hawaiian Weddings!!! We cannot sing your praises enough!! Looking forward to seeing you when we renew our vows!!

Our 25th wedding vows renewal was just magical!! More than what we could have imagined! June and her team did a spectacular job! From the gorgeous views at Waialae Beach, Kahu Ryan Keali'i's poignant and meaningful ceremony, the lovely music by Butch, the beautiful interpretation hula dance by Celeste, the amazing moments that Sean Michel captured, my family, friends and we felt the genuine Aloha of love, peace and joy! Making the occasion so memorable and jubilant. If you are in the market of researching a wedding planner in Oahu, I more than highly recommend I do Hawaiian Weddings! While researching for wedding planning to renew our 25th wedding vows, I found June and her team to be the most cost-effective and best "bang for your buck" with what we wanted for our dream ceremony and their many services. After interviewing June on the phone (as we reside in California), I felt so comfortable with June. She is warm, easy-going, helpful, knowledgeable, and receptive. If you go with June and her team, you will be more than pleased. She and her team are very professional and exude the Aloha spirit! Mahalo nui loa, I do Hawaiian Weddings for making our ceremony so enchanting!

June did an amazing job! Have never been Oahu before, so a wedding planner was much needed. June was very responsive and helped us with making our dream wedding happen! She helped work out every little detail. We had Debbie as a photographer and she did absolutely amazing! Best personality and handles stressful situations very well! The setup was absolutely beautiful. Thank you June & to your entire team!This wedding was at Wai'alae Beach Park.

June and her colleagues did excellent job in planning our ceremony. Mostly everything was arranged when we arrived in Honolulu, we only needed to go to the Department of Public Health to pick up the preliminary license. The driver was a sweetheart who took us to the ceremony was a sweetheart. The venue was a great beach setting, and June was there to serve as both a witness and to ensure there were no glitches. The officiant was wonderful, the photographer went above all expectations in arranging both candid and posed shots. They all strove to put us at ease and make our wedding memorable. I would wholeheartedly recommend I Do Hawaiian Weddings for all your wedding planning needs.
