Reviews of I Do Hawaiian Weddings (Event Planner)

Nancy Baker

They were AMAZING!!! I cant say enough about them. They made our day so special for us. June & her team took care of everything. I told her what we wanted to do and she magically made it happened. It was difficult to plan this renewal ceremony since we live so far away. But after I told her what we wanted to she created a perfect day. It was everything we had been talking and dreaming about! I can't thank her and her team enough for the amazing ceremony.

June officiated our wedding in September 2014, and she made our special moment perfect. From the time we contacted her to the ceremony, June showed a tremendous level of care, openness, and resourcefulness. She performed a simple, heartfelt ceremony that was exactly what me and my (now) husband were hoping for. We even believe she had a little something to do with making a rainy day's clouds part and a rainbow appear just in time for our wedding ;-) We left Hawaii with unforgettable memories and beautiful photos to remember them by.

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

Barry and I travelled from Australia to marry in Hawaii with June Dillinger as our officiant (I found her via Google). June was wonderful - so helpful via email in the planning stage (made it so easy) and such a lovely warm person to conduct our ceremony which was very meaningful and special. We had such a happy day. I highly recommend June to anyone who wants stress free organisation and a lovely warm person to conduct their ceremony. Thank you June for helping to make our wedding day such a special and memorable one. Beth & Barry Squire xx

Best experience I could have hoped for! Of course it was my wedding day so I was already in good spirits, but even now, a year has passed and I still recommend June and Gary, they were wonderful to work with! I was somewhat apprehensive because I was planning this wedding day from Minnesota but June and Gary were both willing to cater to my every request. Very trustworthy very caring people, nothing to worry about! Mahalo!

We can't recommend I Do Hawaiian Weddings enough. Based on a recommendation from friends, we contacted June and her team and we were able to create the perfect custom wedding for us. We chose an intimate beach wedding at sunset and the ceremony was absolutely perfect. It was casual (barefoot in the sand) yet at the same time spiritual and lovingly touched with Hawaiian influences. And to top off the beautiful ceremony, our fabulous photographer Lila was able to capture some amazing photographs of us highlighting the beauty of Hawai’i in the setting sun. We feel so lucky to be able to include June and Lila in our hearts on the day that we joined our ‘ohana as one.

David Speck

Effortless, joyous and pleasant, are the best words to describe our time with June and "I Do Hawaiian Weddings". Since we had planned our Hawaiian wedding from Sydney Australia, we had to plan entirely on-line and via phone calls - June made this very easy with her genuine good nature and expertise in putting together these events. The day itself flew by in a blur, however every one agreed that our simple ceremony held at Makapu'u Lookout was absolutely perfect. For ease of the process and the lovely service provided, we gladly recommend June and "I Do Hawaiian Weddings" for anyone seeking a memorable and joyous experience.

Sonnee Shomo

June is absolutely amazing. I was incredibly nervous about planning a Hawaiian wedding from Virginia until I found June. She assisted with all of our needs to include location, hair, makeup, music, flowers, photographer, videographer, cake and reception. She was most helpful and made fabulous recommendations. She has years of experience and knows the Island very well. Chad and I would highly recommend June to all of those couples looking for a trustworthy person to help in planning your special day. We were so blessed to find her!!!!!

Glenn Roemer

Can only describe our experience with June, Brad and Debbie as amazing! We wanted something simple but memorable and June delivered above and beyond. The attention to detail was amazing, just a mention of what we wanted during a conversation and it was done. We were looking for a private beach wedding with a Hawaiian ceremony, June picked the perfect location and Brad, who performed the ceremony, was fantastic. A truly memorable ceremony and day. I cannot recommend I Do Hawaiian Weddings enough! We were married in August, but it seems like yesterday, I truly should have written this sooner! Thanks again June, you and your team are truly amazing!

We’ve been meaning to write since our wedding ceremony on January 21, 2017 with Brutus, but we are just now getting around to it. For those who have never experienced a Hawaiian wedding ceremony it will be a delightful and spiritual gateway to a new life together. Brutus was our guide and you couldn’t ask for a more charming and centered person to take you on this lovely and personal journey. He asked so much about our personal situation and worked that into our own two-person ceremony. His sense of humor was outstanding, which we dearly love and is a part of our daily life. My husband was almost hit in the head by a coconut! But Brutus took it in stride and used that too. I Do Hawaiian Weddings was meticulous in the planning and follow up. It was a seamless and easy process. You’ll be glad you chose them. Thanks for making it a pleasant and fun time for us. All the best, Susan Kirby and Marco Fuentes

Stress free, caring wedding officiant... June handled all of the details for our intimate wedding, including helping choose a location, accommodating our vote requests (based on her already beautiful ceremony), guiding our photographer to take some nice shots, and just being all around amazing to work with. We'll cherish our memories of our waterfront Hawaiian wedding officiated by June. Thank you June for making our special day even more special!

Lisa LaBarre

June officiated my wedding at the Moana Surfrider in December. I couldn't be happier with June - she was always friendly, responsive, and eager to make our day special. I was very pleased with the ceremony - I loved it and my guests loved it. Highly recommended!

Susan Szabo

I surprised my husband for our 25th anniversary with a renewal of vows. June did a beautiful service. My husband was so thrilled! Thank you June!

Maureen Baglio

My husband and I recently did a 30 year Vow Renewal with I Do Hawaiian Weddings. When I first contacted June she was so courteous and professional. She answered all my questions and made wonderful suggestions. One the day of our beach ceremony all of her staff went above and beyond. Brad, our officiant, did a beautiful ceremony. Butch played lovely music. Sean and Vince did a great job with the video and photography. Everyone was wonderful. My husband and children did not know any of the details that I had planned with June and they were absolutely amazed with everything. Everyone made our special day even more special and made it a day we will never forget! I cannot thank June and her staff enough for everything! Mahalo!

When planning something critically important like a wedding from afar, no amount of preparation can add up to the value of feeling safe in someone's capable hands. Trusting another with one's vision, with your personal hopes and dreams, is not an easy task. And, this is especially true when connecting for the first time with an initial stranger. June Dillinger is one of those rare individuals whose integrity shines through the simplest communications, via her voice, her responsive emails, her commitment to fulfilling not just a ledger of tasks, but for creating lifetime memories that will linger in her lucky clients' dreams. So, entrusting the multitude of details involved in planning a renewal ceremony with June Dillinger at I Do Hawaiian Weddings was one of the best decisions my family ever made. Here are the nuts and bolts: June is a consummate professional, as are each and every one of the highly qualified collegial contractors she will secure for your special event. For example, in observing our gorgeous photographs artfully captured by the ridiculously talented Debbie Miller, I couldn't help but notice how much authentic joy was also emanating from our officiant, Bradford Lum, and the entirety of the crew. It's clear that the team members in this company have found a calling in what they do, which is a quality that's as impossible to fake as it is to spontaneously capture. From make-up artist Vicky, who in two hours will become your new cool best friend, to Scottie, who will responsibly deliver you to your otherworldly venue with a radiant smile, this company is the real deal. There were times I believed that June was actually a magician. We were like those lucky enough to celebrate in Hawaii, yet not fortunate enough to reside on the islands. Because of the geographical distance, I placed our ceremony completely in the purview of June and her team, wherein she exceeded all of my high expectations. Every little detail we requested was accommodated without judgment or compromise. June allowed us to combine our vision into a one-of-a-kind memory that we will always cherish. Far from carbon copied, we had a lush, intimate, highly personalized moment in time that enveloped our family commitment. Hawaii itself never disappoints; it is a playground of the gods and freedom from worrying about any details will allow you to truly relish your moment in paradise. I Do Hawaiian Weddings' professionalism warrants praise and confidence; June's nurturing touch will fill your heart full of the spirit of Aloha, authenticating those magazine quality images of your big day.

My husband and I decided that we wanted to get married in Hawaii but had struggled for months trying to plan everything from California. That's when we found June, which was the greatest thing that could have happened. From our first phone call until the wedding day, we felt almost no stress. She handled virtually everything and walked us through the few things we had to do with great detail. It was our first time in Hawaii and she even recommended things to do, places to eat, and accommodations. We cannot say enough great things about June and her team. When we arrived at the wedding location, the officiant and photographer (Ryan and Debbie) were extremely welcoming and professional. We could not have asked for a more perfect experience and we cannot thank I DO HAWAIIAN WEDDINGS enough.

Kate Heydon

June arranged our wedding which was 1 year ago today. She was absolutely amazing. We arranged the whole thing from Australia and it couldn't have been easier. She was fabulous with communication, we made several changes along the way and they were no drama at all and our wedding day was perfect. She went above and beyond to help. Very highly recommend.

Massimiliano Massi

My partner and I got married last December and June officiated the ceremony. It was simply wonderful. She's been in contact with us providing support and organization since the early days and she did an amazing job at conducting the ceremony. Everything was taken care in every detail! I would strongly recommend her if you are looking for an outstanding wedding!!!

Tim Liu

June was an absolute pleasure to work with. She made the whole planning process super easy and she was always ready to answer any questions or concerns we had. We first contacted her 8 months before our set date and she kept in contact with us all throughout the time. She was super flexible with any requests we had and provided suggestions for anything we weren't sure about. We highly recommend June and her team!

Jenny Wessell

June at I Do Hawaiian Weddings made our special day even more so! She was such a warm, personable and amazing person to work with while planning our ceremony and vows. She made everything so easy, without much lead time on our part! We had such an amazing experience and would HIGHLY recommend June for your upcoming nuptials. She went above and beyond the norm to accommodate our needs and we cannot thank her enough! If you want someone who truly cares about love, weddings, and making your day special to you, June is your person! Look no further- I Do Hawaiian Weddings is your answer for your wedding needs! Thank you June and we hope to see you again the next time we are on the island!

Alistair Ross

Look no further - June Dillinger is the lady to officiate your marriage! From the outset, June was pleasant, relaxed, thoughtful and with remarkable EQ. She's good at picking up on what's important to you and what's not. June is an instantly likable soul, and we guarantee you'll remember her long after the day of your marriage. She surprised us with an amazing beach location to perform the ceremony, it was private and we were blessed with a beautiful sunset. June stayed behind longer than we expected to help with the wedding photos, and we're so happy with the results. For the mechanics of licensing etc., June guided us through the process and filed all the paperwork promptly. Everything was straightforward thanks to her.

Brandon Tabangay

My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with June and I Do Hawaiian Weddings! We were married back on Feb 10, 2014 on the shores of Lanikai Beach. Because my wife and I live in Seattle, the planning and coordinating of our wedding was all done by June. She really went above and beyond with her communication and helpfulness that we had no worries along the way that everything was being taken care of. There are all kinds of permits and paperwork needed if you are planning to get married on a beach in Hawaii, and June had all of the experience and contacts to do it all for us! Weddings are never stress free, but working with June made it about as stress free as you can have a wedding be. The great services June provides (she even did our flower/lei arrangments) are more than worth her already reasonable prices. Really can't say enough how much we recommend June for your destination wedding needs!

Jason Pearce

June was our officiant. She was simply wonderful. She was warm and friendly and really went out of her way to make us feel special. It was like being married by a dear friend or relative not someone we just met. Thanks again!! We will always cherish that experience.

Amy Walton

Our wedding day was lovely, June was welcoming and very helpful in helping us make arrangements for our special day. We'd never been to Honolulu and she pointed us in the right direction, from making arrangements for our marriage certificate to suggesting locations. We recommend June, I Do Hawaiin Weddings and Honolulu for your big day.

Nicole Brancel

June was wonderful from the start! She is incredibly personable and so easy to work with. She was always available to answer questions and get all of the details for the big day set. She was flexible with requests we had including having my sister sing during the ceremony, making the perfect place for me to walk down the "isle" on the beach and doing a photo shoot with the flower toss! The ceremony was more magical than we could have ever expected! June puts her whole heart and self into the ceremony, making the couple and family the focus of the time together. She arrived to the ceremony early to make sure everything was ready to go. Her positive energy and attitude were contagious from the start. Everything she said was so heart felt and perfect. Her location she chose on the beach was ideal, it was stunning. Even though there were a few other people on the beach, she made it feel as if we were the only ones there. June has a natural gift at what she does and made our wedding ceremony something we will never forget. Thank you June for making the big day a day we will always remember so fondly.

When we first started planning our trip to Hawaii to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, we hadn't really considered doing a vow renewal. I mean, we'd never been to the Islands... where do you start to look for all that needs to be done for a wedding? Location, officiant, flowers, photographer, etc. But then we found 'I Do Hawaiian Weddings' onlline, and after the reviews and conversations with June via email, my husband and I were impressed and, with little to no effort on our side, our vow renewal (the Ke Aloha, traditional style ceremony) was scheduled and things were set! Meeting our officient, Ryan, we felt at ease and his words for our vow renewal were very touching, heartfelt, and still sit with my husband and me. Debbie was a great photographer and made us feel very comfortable. Even our driver to and from the ceremony was friendly and helpful. All in all, a fabulous experience.
