Angela’s love for the Hawaiian culture and language puts her in a perfect position to share Hawaiian customs and aloha with every ceremony she conducts. Her ceremonies are written for each couple according to their beliefs, values and needs. She’s been asked to officiate weddings in Hawaii, Colorado and even Thailand. Her background in travel, wedding coordination and TV news puts her in a perfect position to have the right connections and experience to make wedding dreams come true.
Her wedding ceremonies include a romantic secluded beach with just the couple or a large wedding at an estate. Hawaiian blessings are included in her ceremonies and words are translated in English and Hawaiian. She doesn’t officiate weddings because she has to, she officiates weddings because she loves uniting couples in marriage.
