It builds on the Signature package and adds a chanted processional, a lei exchange with the Honi breath of life, a sea salt blessing and an in-person rehearsal, all for $1,950.

Who this package is for
Choose this option if you want the deepest version of a traditional Kahiko ceremony, not just a few Hawaiian words added to a standard script. It suits hosts with family ties to the islands, hosts who fell in love with the culture, and anyone who wants their guests to witness ritual, chant and blessing woven through a ceremony built around their own story.
What's included
Everything from the Signature package comes with this one, plus four additions that make the ceremony feel complete from the first step down the aisle to the final blessing. Each item below appears in the package as the officiant lists it.
- Everything in the Signature Kahiko Wedding Package

- Ti leaf handfasting ritual (Pili ā Naʻi Kealoha) with handmade ti leis
- Ceremony planning workshop with your Kumu Aloha
- Collaborative custom ceremony script development
- Oli Akahai chant of love processional
- Lei exchange and Ha breath of life ritual (Honi)
- Alaea Paʻakai Hawaiian sea salt blessing
- In-person wedding rehearsal
The rituals added at this level
The Oli Akahai is a chant of love that carries you into the ceremony as your processional. Later, the lei exchange is paired with the Honi, the Ha breath of life ritual, a moment of shared breath between two people. The Alaea Paʻakai blessing uses Hawaiian sea salt. Together they give your guests a ceremony with clear cultural meaning at every stage.
Your love story at the center
Every Kahiko ceremony includes a custom written love story. You share how you met, what you have built and what you hope for, and that story becomes part of the script alongside the blessings. The result reads like your relationship, not a template, while still honoring the traditional prayers and chants that give the ceremony its spiritual weight.
Spiritual, not churchy
The approach rests on three ideas: Aloha (love), Lōkahi (unity) and Mana (spirit). The ceremonies are described as more spiritual and less religious, which suits hosts who want cultural depth without a church service. Ceremony types listed include non-religious, interfaith, vow renewal and civil union, with an earth-based or no-denomination outlook.
Rehearsal that settles nerves
This is the only Kahiko wedding package with an in-person rehearsal built in. Walking through the processional, the handfasting, the lei exchange and the salt blessing ahead of time means you, your wedding party and anyone helping with timing will know where to stand and when each ritual begins. It turns a moving ceremony into a calm one.
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.
