Words can’t describe the utmost gratitude we have for Rev. Rita for making our day so special! We had such a fun and amazing time planning our wedding together. We met over coffee and Jamba; she took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple. Not only did it give her a sense of who we were, but it also gave us a chance and opportunity to get to know her and see what an incredible person she is. She flawlessly incorporated our interests and our love story into our ceremony. She tailored it to a T! Rev. Rita knew how important this day was for us and went over and beyond our expectations!!! We were overwhelmed with such joy! It was/is unquestionable that she put her whole heart and mind towards making our day ONE OF A KIND. We thank her so very much for being a part of our lives!! We HIGHLY recommend Rev. Rita, her husband “assistant” Trace (LOL), and Chantel’s Floral design to be a part of your special day!!! Rev. Rita-Tie the Knot Wedding and Commitment Ceremony Officiating has everything you need from A-Z, starting with ALOHA!!!!

Reverend Rita was very warm and personable officiating at my granddaughters' wedding. I've always heard the term "Tie the knot" but had never seen or knew it was an actual ceremony. It was a very nice addition to the service after the ring ceremony.

We traveled to Hawaii from Canada for a vacation. To my surprise, after 38 years of being together, he proposed on my birthday. We contacted Rev. Rita to officiate our wedding on the beach. She proposed the best site for us. The wedding was personalized as if she had known us for many years. Not ready with our vows, she wrote them for us perfectly. She made sure our day was special. The pictures that Tracey took are perfect. I would definitely recommend Rev. Rita and Tracey to anyone looking to get married. Nous sommes mariés sur la plage à Hawaii. Nous recommandons fortement Rev. Rita pour officier votre cérémonie de mariage

My (now) husband and I were looking to have a simple beach wedding and were going to go with an officiate the DOH recommended- let me tell you, I am beyond glad we reconsidered! We just asked Rita to show up and officiate our small wedding on the beach, but she did so much more than that! Despite reaching out to her very last minute, she made our ceremony so personalized, as if we had known her for years. Her spirit is so welcoming and friendly- all our guests loved her! Not only did her and Tracey get the job done, they went above and beyond to make sure our day was special and our guests were comfortable. I would definitely recommend Rita and Tracey to anyone looking to get married whether the ceremony be big or small- they are awesome and provide much more than you pay for! Thank you guys for making our wedding day one to remember, I can't wait to have them back when my husband and I decide to renew our vows.

We wanted a simple, intimate wedding. She made it special with a lei exchange and we were even blessed with an oli.”
