Hawaii Weddings

Greetings from Rev Capt. Howie in his “Wedding in Hawaii” Paradise

Captain Howie Hawaii Wedding Coordinator Aloha, I am Rev./Capt. Howie, a non-denominational minister and Maritime Captain residing in the Hawaiian Islands. I have been performing weddings in Hawaii for over 30 years. I am also called Capt. Howie, as I am a Master Captain licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard. My hobbies include sailing, bodysurfing, hiking, camping, nature photography, tropical horticulture, dog training, spiritual philosophy, and of course performing Weddings in Hawaii. I also breed and protect exotic and endangered parrots and some of Hawaii’s exotic sea birds.

Rev./Capt. Howie’s Weddings in Hawaii – A bit off to the Left

I take great pride in being a product of the 60’s counter culture, the psychedelic revolution and even a veteran of the original Woodstock Festival. After graduating college in 1970 with degrees in both Psychology and Zoology, with one foot in the door of medical school, I chose to take a hard left turn and dedicate my life fully to spiritual pursuits. To make a long story short, after living and studying in various monasteries for many years, and becoming an ordained priest, I felt a calling to dedicate myself to performing very meaningful and spiritual weddings in Hawaii. So here I am over 30 years later, still performing and loving it!!!

Capt. Howie’s Favorite Hawaii Wedding Locations

A few of our favorite Hawaii wedding locations include off-the-beaten-path white sand beaches, lush Hawaii Wedding gardens with tropical waterfalls, tiny secluded off-shore islands, and Hawaii weddings aboard the majestic Lotus Flower, a beautiful 56' teakwood sailing ship patterned after the original Mayflower. I had the pleasure of skippering this awesome vessel from Canada over 30 years ago for our Hawaii weddings. I’ve sailed a number of our Hawaii wedding couples out to the original Gilligan’s Island, and others to locations where scenes from Jurassic Park were filmed to fulfill their “dream wedding in Hawaii”.

Hawaii Wedding Flowers

Flowers and leis are a symbol of aloha and have always played a distinctive role in Hawaii Weddings. According to our season, availability, and your individual taste, we can make the ideal floral arrangements for your wedding in Hawaii. Rather than include ordinary “el cheapo” tourist leis with our Hawaii wedding ceremonies, we prefer to have you make your own selection from our list of exotic Hawaii Wedding Flowers. It will be our pleasure to assist you in this regard. Check out our vast selection of Hawaii Wedding Flowers and Leis.

Exotic Tropical Parrots at our Hawaii Weddings

We like to spice up the tropical flavor of our Hawaii weddings with the presence of exotic parrots. In some eastern cultures, this is considered a Blessing of the Gods. So depending upon where our Hawaii weddings take place, and if our couples desire, we will bring along several of our brightly colored, feathered friends. They enjoy being part of Hawaii Weddings by talking, partaking in the toast, and posing with the bride and groom. They add lots of color, beauty, and humor to the photography and Hawaii Wedding Video.

Blowing the Conch Shell at your Wedding in Hawaii

In keeping with our islands traditions, I always blow a Hawaiian conch shell three times before each Hawaii wedding ceremony.

This prelude is the Hawaiian's way of begging the Lord's Divine Presence. Consequently, we always make this tradition an integral part of all our Hawaii Weddings. Additionally, I am always honored to chant an ancient Hawaiian blessing as a further grace upon our Hawaii wedding ceremonies.

Performing Hawaii Weddings is a Divine Blessing and Privilege

Honestly, there is nothing I enjoy more than arranging and performing Hawaii Weddings in our island’s most romantic and picturesque nature settings. My loving wife Deva shares in this joy with me and assists in every detail. We truly believe God has blessed us with the honor of performing Weddings in Hawaii.

With much Aloha, Rev./Capt. Howie
