For all the wonderful couples out there that want to get married:
My husband and I could not think of a better person to marry you. Barbara is the one
person you want to take care of that special day for you. She is kind and always has wonderful
creative ideas about where you could get married. She knows of the special places on Hawaii's big
island where you could make your commitment to one another before your families and friends.
My husband and I plan to get married over and over
to each other and she will be the one we pick to do the ceremonies as we know that she will
always find a way to make it special and memorable. If you are planning to get married stop right
now your search for the perfect minister, she is the one. She has a wonderful sense of humor and she
will make the both of you feel very special. All my best to her and all the couples out there who
will get the privilege to get married by such a caring person. With all our love,
Rusty and Valerie Ippolito (CA) November 2000

Dear Barbara,
Words cannot express the appreciation
that I have in my heart that you were the
one to officiate our ceremony. From the
first moment that I had contact with you,
which was four months before the
wedding, I knew I was in good hands. It
took me the next four months to find just
how good of hands that was. I had never
been to Hawaii and I had no idea what to
expect. . .But I knew what I wanted. You
made it happen! In the fast pace world
where we exist, it is rare to find someone
who is sincerely listening. But you didn't
stop with listening, you acted. I wish that
every bride could share the experience
that you gave me. No worries ... Just
perfection. After experiencing the true
Aloha spirit that you passed onto us, I
say to you, form the depths of my heart,
Aloha. Susan and Baron Schlegel (NV)

Dear Barbara,
First of all I want to thank you again
for the wonderful service. It was
absolutely perfect for us, I loved the way
you included 'Happily Ever After' in our
vows. Everyone who as seen our pictures
has commented on how relaxed and
happy we look, and how our day looked
like so much fun. I always tell them we
picked the right people to be part of
it, and it wouldn't have been the
same without you.

Dearest Barbara,
When I was in search for someone
special to marry my fiancée & I, I never
thought that we would be able to find
someone like you. I was hoping that this
day would be memorable & beautiful, as
every girl dreams there wedding day will be.
When I first saw you, I knew that
you were going to make me & my husband
fulfill this dream of having a unique &
special day. The location I must say was
BEAUTIFUL, & the ceremony just perfect to
our needs. If I were to do it again,
I would definitely choose you, in fact we
plan on renewing our vows later on & would
be please to have you perform our ceremony.
Your personality is warm, friendly & most
importantly we could tell that you do this
from the heart. When we left, we actually
looked at each other & said "what a nice
lady". We miss you already & feel that we
made a special connection with you on our
wedding day. Thank you again. Howard &
Mona Kent!! (CA) November 2007

Rev. Barbara & Gary:
Thank you so much for making our
anniversary such a special day for us!!
The ceremony, in its simplicity and purity,
touched our hearts deeply. The swaying
beach palms and the breathtaking sunset
added as much fragrance to the moment as
did the leis, the chocolates and the happy
girls :) We can hardly wait to see the
photos that have captured the beauty of
the evening. Thank you once again for
helping us create this everlasting
memory! With warm regards & much
Aloha! Manish & Anjali (CA)
