Meet Deanna DiMichele, Kona Wedding Officiant’s owner, operator, and licensed minister. Deanna feels blessed to be part of the most special day of her couples' lives and believes that Aloha is the most important element of a wedding in Hawaii.
Aloha has many meanings, but most of all, it means love. Deanna specializes in Hawaiian traditions and enjoys creating intimate, romantic ceremonies for couples. All couples and denominations are welcome in marriage and vow renewal at Kona Wedding Officiant.
Deanna believes that every wedding is a gift. She is passionate about bringing couples together in the sacred bond of marriage. Ceremonies are personalized to couples and elements such as Blowing Of The Pu are welcomed without additional fees. To create an ideal experience, all weddings are performed on secluded beaches whenever possible.
Deanna likes to work with couples to make their ceremonies feel right for them, offering numerous drafts and a variety of ceremony templates. Although she provides scripts and suggestions, it is okay with her to use ideas from couple to meet their wedding vision. She believes if you are coming all the way to Hawaii for your wedding, you should find some flexibility when you get here!
