What's included
Every item below is part of the Lōkahi Kahiko Vow Renewal Package as listed by the officiant. It carries the same cultural foundation as the wedding packages, with the ceremony shaped around renewing a commitment rather than starting one.
- Kahiko ceremony conducted by a Kumu Aloha
- Hawaiian blessings spoken in ʻŌlelo (Oli, Mele and Pule)
- Ti leaf handfasting ritual (Pili ā Naʻi Kealoha) with handmade ti leis
- Ceremony planning workshop
- Collaborative custom ceremony script development
What Lōkahi means here
Lōkahi means unity, and it sits alongside Aloha (love) and Mana (spirit) as the core ideas behind every ceremony. For a renewal, unity is the whole point: you are standing up again to say the partnership still holds. The ceremony is described as more spiritual and less religious, which suits interfaith families and hosts with no denomination.
Blessings and chant
Blessings are spoken in ʻŌlelo, the Hawaiian language, and draw on Oli (chant), Mele (song) and Pule (prayer), including Kahiko, or ancient, prayers. The officiant carries traditions handed down by his elders, so the blessings come from a living lineage. Guests hear something rooted and sincere, not a generic reading.
The ti leaf handfasting
Pili ā Naʻi Kealoha is a ti leaf lei handfasting, and genuine handmade ti leis are included. Binding your hands together again after years side by side is a simple, visible way to show your guests what has endured. You might invite children or longtime friends to stand close for this part, and it makes a natural photo moment.
A script built around your years together
The planning workshop is a video meeting that should take no longer than an hour. You talk through the story so far, the moments worth naming and anything you want to promise next. Script development is collaborative, so you can adjust wording and add family references, and the full script is shared with you before the day.
Where the ceremony can happen
Ceremonies can be held at private homes, beaches or other special places you choose. Because the officiant comes to you, the setting stays entirely in your hands, whether that means a backyard under string lights, a quiet stretch of sand or a garden that already means something to your family. Share the location early so planning can account for it.
How booking works
Start by sending an enquiry with your date and location. Next comes a no-obligation chemistry check, in person when possible or by video call, so both sides can confirm the fit before anything is committed. Once booked, you join the planning workshop, and your custom ceremony script is shared with you with full access, so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
Why hosts choose this officiant
The service is five-star rated, with every published review giving full marks and a 100 percent recommendation rate. Hosts mention the personal touches the Kumu Aloha brought to their ceremony and how those touches improved the vision they started with. The business is Pacific Islander-owned, and the officiant carries traditions handed down by his elders.
