I love a sunrise elopement and Carolin & Philipp's ceremony at Po'olenalena was just that lovely shade of peaceful beauty that one hopes for. They traveled to Hawai'i all the way from Germany to visit each of the main 4 islands but chose to marry on Maui (great choice 😉).

They work in the wedding business so it's an extra honor to receive such a thoughtful review.
"Julienne is simply amazing. She married us on April 4th, 2024, at the beautiful Po'olenalena beach. We ourselves are in the wedding industry and were very selective about our officiant. And Julienne exceeded all expectations. She has such a warm demeanor and a great voice to make the ceremony perfect. The ceremony itself was simply special. We would book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for such a wonderful officiant." - Carolin and Philipp😉

I finally got to do a wedding at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Waikiki this year. This historic hotel is known as "The Pink Palace of the Pacific" and was built in 1927. The courtyard is a stunning place for a wedding and the hotel and ballrooms perfect for an opulent celebration. They have an oceanfront option as well.

Noelani & Israel's wedding was so lovely! The Spanish translator fell ill the morning of the wedding so one of the bridesmaids stepped up and did side-by-side translations during the ceremony. She did amazing and you could feel the aloha from friends and family gathered.

Leona & Marcel came all the way from Germany to get married on the beach at sunrise. They traveled with their 10 month old baby girl. They held her during the ceremony and she was a perfect angel throughout. They asked not to post pics with bebe so here is a sweet moment of just the two of them captured by Shayla Tiare Photography .

I have a thing for simple wedding moments captured perfectly. This one from Kelli & Tyler's wedding at Mulligan's On the Blue is just that.

Couples tell me that they appreciate my down-to-earth vibe and openness. The last thing they want to feel is more nervous on their wedding day.

ʻOhana means family. This beautiful family celebrated the wedding of Krista & Eugene in an early morning ceremony on a beautiful south Maui beach. The love for each other and the joy of this day was palpable.

Nicki & Matt said yes to life & love together in a sunrise ceremony and it was magnificent. ✨🌞✨. Their custom ceremony told a bit of their story, clinched agreements about Corgis & fishing boats and had laughter as well as happy tears. All captured beautifully by Alicia before they headed off with her for a day of celebration & adventure.

Gino took the time to write one of the most eloquent reviews I’ve ever received:
“Reverend Jules surpassed all our hopes as the officiant for our wedding. Her gracious demeanor and articulate expressions crafted a ceremony brimming with love and significance. Jules’ authentic enthusiasm for uniting couples was evident, turning our special day into an incredibly memorable experience. We appreciate her guidance and the personal touch she brought to our ceremony, setting the stage for a beautiful beginning to our shared journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Reverend Jules to anyone in search of a heartfelt and tailored wedding experience.”

Cassie & Tony’s morning beach wedding was sweet & fun (just like them!) . People ask me if it’s possible to have a wedding with littles and the answer is yes. Just like nature, you can’t predict what a toddler will do but if you go with the flow it will be beautiful. Just be sure to book vendors that are experienced, kind and patient.
☺️ Mahalo Cassie & Tony for entrusting us with your special day! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

AI generated Cat & Dog wedding vows & image. I'm fascinated by AI and also a little freaked out how in 3 minutes this all came together.

As unique as a feline and canine pair,
We gather here today, a love beyond compare.
In the realm of fur and tails, we two unite,
Paws entwined, under the sun's warm light.

I, the kitty, with grace and cunning stride,
Take you, my doggy, to be by my side.
With whiskers twitching and purrs so sweet,
Together we'll make our lives complete.

You, my woofing love, so loyal and true,
With boundless energy and heart so blue,
I promise to cherish your wagging tail,
Through every chase and every playful trail.

Through mice and mailmen, and sunny days,
We'll navigate life's unpredictable ways.
Together, we'll nap in the sun's embrace,
In each other's love, we'll find our space.

With tuna cans and bones, our shared delight,
We'll revel in the moon's soft, silvery light.
In sickness and health, whether near or far,
My dear doggy, you are my shining star.

With a meow so gentle, and bark so bold,
Together, our story forever told.
In this union of cat and dog, so strange,
Our love will never, ever change.

So, as I purr and you give a woof,
Let's make a promise, paw in paw, a truth.
With each day that passes, we'll grow strong,
Together, we'll sing a love song.

With this paw in marriage, we make our vow,
Cat and dog, forever, we are now.
In our furry love, together we'll stand,
For, with you, my dear, life's a wonderland.

Over $500.00 has been raised (so far) to support Maui healers who have been giving their time and aloha to those recovering from the wildfires.

A few of these limited-edition prayer/meditation malas are still available. Support Maui and get a wonderful gift!

PART 4) We celebrated with a picnic and a champagne toast in the lovely shaded picnic area outside the sanctuary. It was one of those weddings that had all the right people, place and vibe (and cats!). No stress, just pure joy and aloha.

PART 3) Their ceremony had a lei exchange, plenty of cat puns, sweet personal vows, laughter, and happy tears. Cats and a few curious visitors attended on benches in the warm Hawaiian sun. Naturally, cat treats were thrown in lieu of flowers and literally everyone had a smile on their face.

PART 2) A gentleman on the ferry noticed Sarah didn’t have a bouquet and gave her some flowers from the bunch he had brought for family (it was Mother's day after all). That is exactly the aloha spirit! The Cat Santuary is 20 minute drive from Manele harbor and we took the local van service that provided a fun mini tour of the island. Up and down hills, around corners it felt like an old school outing adventure.

We arrived at the sanctuary and met with the super friendly staff, volunteers and 600+ cats! We got a tour of the beautifully kept grounds and made new feline friends immediately. Having cat treats on hand didn’t hurt…

Pardon me while I plaster my FB with photos of Sarah & RJ's purrrfect meowage ceremony at The Lānaʻi Cat Sanctuary in May of this year. PART 1: It all came together like magic and Sarah & RJ are the sweetest couple and legit look like movie/rock stars ( I see a Lady Gaga & young Andy Garcia. )

We all took the ferry to Lānaʻi which provided an opportunity for some spectacular photos. We packed a picnic and some champagne too!

🌴 One month ago today, my beautiful island suffered major wildfires, leaving our community reeling from the losses. I created these bead strands to represent the hope, resiliency and beauty of Maui and it's people. 100% of the profits will be donated to support the healing of the community. 🐚

$44 was chosen because 4 is a sacred number in the Hawaiian culture. If this price is not within reach, please message me for sliding scale options.

https://freerangepriestess.etsy.com/listing/1546741132/aloha-maui-prayer-meditation-beads-to

How you use these beads is up to you. Meditation, prayer, breathwork, focusing thoughts. There is no wrong way to use them! A sample meditation will be included along with more information on the type of beads used and the symbols.

There are ten gemstone beads, a turquoise howlite honu (sea turtle) and a monstera leaf charm. Clear Czech glass spacer beads and hand-tied knots are in between each bead. Each is 6.5 inches long on nylon jewelry cord.

Many people have asked if it's possible to still have a beautiful wedding on Maui. Many of us in the wedding industry have been involved in relief efforts all the while getting cancellations, postponements and dusty query inboxes. Our ability to work allows us to continue to support our community.

The West of Maui (Lahaina, Ka'anapali, Kapalua, Napili) is closed for the foreseeable future. This is for practical, emotional, and respectful reasons. The rest of Maui, welcomes conscious and kind visitors.

Here's how you can still have a beautiful wedding:
🌺Hire Maui-based vendors who have deep roots in the community.

🌺Let your trusted vendors guide you on making your wedding a representation of aloha (love) for you, this island, and people.

🌺Be mindful when you visit; let your care & respect show in all you do here.

🌺Shop & dine in small businesses.

🌺West Maui is closed. Please do not go there (even to drive through).

🌺Be generous with those serving you. Be the big tipper :).

🌺Consider volunteering while you are here. I'll post more about this soon.

🌺Respect & appreciate the sacred beauty of the land, people & culture of Hawai'i.

🌺Actions of aloha large & small have ripple effects.

🌺Your open mind & generous heart will create an even more meaningful experience.

oxo,
Rev Jules
