Testimonials
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 -  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.

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.

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!
