Chapels & Clergy - HAWAIIAN ALOHA BLESSINGS Serving all Hawaiian islands and San Fransisco (808) 222-5470 Weddings and Wedding Planning

The beauty of Kahu Pomaika‘i’s traditional Hawaiian weddings are matched only by the depth of their significance. Deeply rooted in Hawaiian culture, each can be individually crafted to cater to your specifications. Wedding ceremonies include a Ho‘oponopono ritual, which means “to put things in their proper order.” When a couple enters into marriage it is of great importance that their energies are exclusively connected to one other. A Ho‘oponopono facilitates this by cutting the AKA cords or “energetic connections” from past relationships, allowing the couple to be bonded solely to each other.

Although Kahu Pomaika‘i offers Hawaiian wedding services performed from a choice of numerous exquisite and sacred locations (including, but not limited to the Kahala beach, Lanikai beach and the North Shore) she is also open to any location that has special meaning to the couple.

Lei ceremonies are a popular request among couples. This ceremony involves two open-ended leis worn around the couples’ necks, then tied together, symbolizing two lives intertwining as one. Ring ceremonies are also highly requested, and in this ceremony both rings are placed in a sacred calabash bowl and then passed around to all members of the wedding party for blessing through the use of each person’s Ha or “breath of life.” This special ritual incorporates family and friends into the sacredness of the wedding ceremony.

Also upon request is the popular sounding of the conch shell – the conch blown in all four directions at the beginning of the wedding, to summon the ancestors.

Most traditional Hawaiian wedding ceremonies last approximately twenty minutes, though special requests are always accommodated. For example, weddings taking place at sacred sites including Heiau, (”sacred temples”), may run longer as protocol using appropriate pule (”prayer”) and oli (”chanting”) must be followed.
