    We are so grateful that we came across Pastor Ron and his family. They truly exceeded our expectations and gave us a real dream wedding! It was more beautiful than we could have imagined. And the photos are unbelievable, all of our friends and family upon seeing our photos say that our wedding looked like a dream! His wife Vanessa is an amazing photographer, and their daughter Bethia also has a true talent in photography. They both worked together to get the best and most beautiful shots of our wedding! You will have the most stress free, affordable, and perfect wedding!

    I don’t even know where to begin with Ps Ron...he was just the most perfect officiant I could have asked for. Before I write my long review, if you’re looking for an officiant for your wedding, TRUST ME, choose Ps Ron!!! He does all types of weddings. My husband and I live in Australia, and really wanted to find someone who was passionate about marriage, experienced, a local, but also down to earth. Ron was all that and more. He was so responsive, his prices are so affordable and he’s such a lovely, kind person. We just got married yesterday in Waikiki. Ron was there to help us rehearse the day before and he prompted us the whole way through the wedding. We loved how he incorporated Hawaiian parts into the wedding too. We’re just so grateful we found him. I couldn’t imagine having my wedding any other way. Thank you so much again Ps Ron. You’re a star! We wish you well and hope we meet again in future xx

    I highly recommend Pastor Ron and Vanessa to anyone considering a wedding/vow renewal. Ron made the process very simple and straight-forward from start to finish. From my first contact with him through email, Ron thoroughly answered all my questions about our ceremony. He responded quickly to my email messages and was available by phone to talk about the details. He was up-front and direct about his fees and the services provided and we were thrilled with the end result! Our vow renewal with our three children for our 28th anniversary was the highlight of our trip to Oahu!! Before our service, Ron touched base with me about the final details and even arrived nearly an hour early at the parking lot at Secret Beach to wait for us to make sure we would have an empty space when we arrived. We loved the way he conducted our service, putting us at ease with his kind, low-key manner and making it very Christ-centered and God-honoring. It was truly a wonderful, worshipful experience filled with the presence of the Lord! After the ceremony, I was amazed and surprised at the time Vanessa and Bethia (Ron and Vanessa's daughter) spent on our photo shoot. They went well beyond what I had expected! They took tons of photos: individual shots, couple shots, family shots, and individual shots of the kids. Vanessa had so much energy, running around putting us in different poses in different locations on the beach. She reminded me a little of Tinker Bell, flitting about and putting us at ease and making us laugh during so many different poses. We generally don't like getting our picture taken as a family, yet none of the kids complained about the long photo shoot. Vanessa made it really fun and we were thrilled with the final photo package they provided! All this said, Ron and Vanessa are the type of people you feel an instant connection with. They are genuinely loving and caring, and I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a truly memorable ceremony.

    We were so impressed by the extraordinary service leading up to the ceremony, during, and afterwards. We elected for the full package including permits, flowers, blessing ceremony, and photographs. We highly recommend Pastor Ron and his adorable wife Vanessa for Kapolei ceremonies. They were able to take us to a secluded beach, just before sunset for the ceremony. The floral leis, headpieces and groom's lei that Vanessa and Ron prepared exceeded our expectations, and are true keepsakes. Listening to Pastor Ron speak the blessings in his native tongue is an experience we will never forget. Vanessa's photography skills and patience to capture so many special moments during the ceremony are commendable. Look no further if you're seeking a memorable event - Pastor Ron and his wife were absolutely exceptional.

    Thanks to Pastor Ron and his wife Vanessa, our special day was nothing less than what we dreamed of. The ceremony was very simple and romantic, and everything we could’ve wished for. They took their time with us and our pictures and they came out absolutely beautiful. They are very kind and easy to work and coordinate with, and any questions or concerns we had, Pastor Ron replied to us in a very short amount of time.

    Ron and his wife Vanessa were amazing! Being from Washington State, a destination wedding can be overwhelming and stressful. Ron did a wonderful job of communicating with us. Through his knowledge and passion the process was extremely easy, thus making it much less stressful than anticipated. He showed up early to our ceremony to make sure everything was prepared properly. During the ceremony, he constantly had a smile on his face, which enlightened the ceremonious event. His wife Vanessa was a bundle of limitless energy. She was all over the place taking pictures from all angles, and setting up the scene accordingly. We got more, and better quality pictures than we expected. She was simply fantastic! Together, these two are a wonderful couple who clearly take joy in what they do. I wish all the happiness in the world to these two, as they set a great example of what love should look like, both for each other and what they do.

    I enjoyed working with Ron. He was quick to respond in emails. Very friendly and a nice person. Happy to have him as my wedding officiant. He's willing to host your wedding at the location of your choosing. I chose to have mines in my house.

    There is really little that we can express in words all the help and attention we received from Pastor Ron Taylor who officiated the ceremony, his wife Vanessa who made us favor take the pictures and Princetone who took the video.
    They offered us absolutely all the help we need and guided us step by step in the process of the license and what we needed to do prior to the wedding day.
    The wedding day was really wonderful, a beautiful ceremony that we will never forget and all the attention we received from his wife Vanessa who took care of every detail so that the photographs were wonderful and that moment was important for us.
    We will be eternally grateful for all your attentions, your total dedication and the love you put into performing the ceremony, taking the photographs and the video.
    They are the best option that exists in this beautiful place, they are the perfect combination between Hawaii and the wedding of your dreams.

    Thank you for what you do with love.

    We decided to get married in Hawaii but live in Florida. We found Ron and Vanessa through a google search, and are so glad we did! Ron is quick to reply to messages and will arrange everything including flowers if wanted for rates that are well below the normal rate for the perfect day they will help pull off. We got everything arranged, and a few months later flew to Hawaii for our wedding. Ron and Vanessa were at the beach, ready to go. The ceremony was beautiful and Ron included personal touches we had emailed him in our vows. We chose to include a ukulele player, and are so glad we did! Baron was amazing and added the perfect touch to our Hawaiian beach wedding. We even did a lei exchange which Ron encouraged, and it was beautiful. We especially loved the Hawaiian prayers. Vanessa took beautiful pictures and gave great directions to get personalized shots, and we got them back quickly. Ron and Vanessa made us feel as important as we felt to each other that day. We can’t thank this couple enough for making our day so special!

    We were married last week, May 18, on the North Shore of Oahu, near Turtle Bay.
    Working with Pastor Ron Taylor in planning our wedding was stress free, easy going and very thorough. I first learned of Ron on this site. Ron and his wife Vanessa were a ‘great find’ and I could not have asked for a better process or better ending.
    For these reasons I highly recommend Ron, his wife Vanessa and daughter Bethia: He was quick to respond to all questions (many emails) and his responses were thorough. He offered suggestions and stayed in touch throughout the planning process (several months). His pricing is very reasonable and there are no hidden charges, He found the perfect location on the North Shore of Oahu, a short walk from the condos we were all staying in…. what a relief to not have to drive to a location.

    He is humble and lighthearted and very good at giving direction and helping us understand what our roles would be during our ceremony. He was professionally dressed and well spoken. His wife Vanessa and daughter Bethia were there to direct us and our guests as well. During the service, they busily took pictures from all angles and you didn’t even realize they were there.
    Originally I was looking for someone to officiate a beach wedding, and luckily I learned from Ron all the other things he could do for us. Again…such a relief depending on him for all aspects of our wedding! He arranged to have Barron play the ukulele during the ceremony; we had the lei and sand exchanges as part of our ceremony. Vanessa and Bethia made 26 lei for all our guests and even for the 4 small children attending. Everyone was delighted to have the lei and the pictures were beautiful.

    Ron filed our license that same day and we had pictures within a few days of the wedding…wow! If you want to ask me questions directly, please email me (cbaczewski@cox.net).
    A special thank you to Ron, Vanessa and Bethia for making our day beautiful and blessed.

    We had a wonderful time with you all, wow, such a beautiful couple and family. I am glad that you were happy with our services. God bless you and congratulations.

    I am not the person who write a review. But this time I had to since they gave me the most memorable gift and I cannot thank enough.

    Pastor Ron and his wife Vanessa are so amazing! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Ron if you are planning Hawaii wedding. Ron always responds my email quickly and answered my question clearly. During the ceremony, I felt dizzy and fell (Stay hydrated!). They waited patiently until I feel better and brought water as well.

    Now, about photography; I can almost 100% guarantee that you will not find a photographer within their price range and similar quality. I was searching for a photographer for more than a month. I noticed that many of other photographers asking me an extra charge depending on what I am wearing. For example, if I was going to wear the dress with a long train, they asked extra $$. In comparison, there is NO extra cost if you use Ron and Vanessa's service no matter what you wear. Vanessa helped me a lot to make my dress train look nice, pose in front of a camera and so on.

    If I do a wedding vow renewal ceremony in Hawaii, I am definitely going for Ron!

    We could not have had a better wedding experience with Pastor Ron! He was a great help in not only planning where we would hold our ceremony, but also everything else from the beach permit and our flowers to photography. Our day was amazing and I attribute a lot of that to having stress-free planning with Pastor Ron. Even though our ceremony was small (just us and him!), I would highly recommend using Pastor Ron for any wedding - big or small! Vanessa was great to work with for our photos, they turned out amazing!

    Pastor Ron was fantastic! He was prompt in answering questions about the marriage process and ceremony. He gave detailed instructions on where to meet and was punctual.

    It was nice that he was flexible, allowing us to orchestrate our ceremony. We provided the bible verse and wrote our own vows. It was also special to have a Hawaiian blessing. The ceremony was reverent and personal. We couldn't have asked for anything more.

    He offered several services that we didn't take advantage of, but it was nice they were available. We did, however, take advantage of the photography services. The pictures turned out great! They really knew what they were doing when capturing the memories our special day.

    We highly recommend Pastor Ron to officiate your special day.

    Thank you so much for your kind words. I really enjoyed my time with you. The Bible verses was perfect for the occassion. God bless you. -Pastor Ron Taylor

    We had a great wedding experience with Pastor Ron! He supported us in every way possible. He helped us in planning and picking a location for the ceremony, but also everything else from the beach permit and our flowers to photography, videographer and ukulele musician.

    The photos and video turned out amazing. The whole crew was patient and did the best to achieve the best outcome.

    Pastor Ron offers a great service to very affordable prices. A big Mahalo to Pastor Ron, Vanessa, Bethia, Princeton and Barron for making our day special :-)

    My husband and I eloped on Oahu. Pastor Ron was terrific! He guided us through the entire process making sure all our needs where met and all our questions were answered. The ceremony far exceeded our expectations! His wife and daughter, Vanessa & Bethia, took amazing photographs. We are constantly being told what fantastic wedding photographs we have . I highly recommend Hawaii Wedding Minister!

    I can’t event begin to tell anyone how perfect our ceremony was yesterday! I was teary-eyed for the whole thing and still am thinking back on it. Ron made organizing this ceremony from my laptop back in Fort Worth, Texas SO easy. His professionalism impressed all who attended and he truly was the best choice after much research. Ron’s wife Vanessa made the most beautiful Lei’s for my family and they smelled amazing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Ron and Vanessa for truly making the ceremony personal, traditional and simply perfect. It was a dream. I’d be doing brides a disservice if I didn’t highly recommend Ron and Venessa on your special day.

    Pastor Ron and his very charming wife Vanessa (that took the photos) were so kind and nice to us! It was just a wonderful experience- the sun-the waves-the beach- we couldn't wish for more. We also had the ukulele player, Pastor Ron took care of that swell. We did all the arrangements with Pastor Ron via mail- we live in Scandinavia- and he took care of everything in Hawaii . We highly recommend him !

    My entire experience from start to finish was amazing Ron was very friendly and prompt with answering all my questions and concerns. Ron kept in touch with me very frequently leading up to our wedding day. I was able to do everything with ease as I was coming from Ny that was important to me. On our special day Vanessa helped me with my haku lei which their daughter Bethia made absolutely beautifully. I got the photo package and I couldn’t be any happier with how they came out. Vanessa and Bethia were so patient and friendly. I can’t thank them enough for everything they have done for us. God bless!!
