    Such a great experience!

    My husband and I were married on Anini Beach on 2/14/20. Dale was fabulous and so professional. She was very responsive when we had any questions. We are so pleased with the ceremony. Thank you!

    A Perfect Experience

    Dale provided my husband and me a a beautiful wedding. I contacted her only 10 days earlier and asked if she could perform a same-sex Jewish ceremony on a beach at sunset and do it on such short notice. She did. We felt completely comfortable with her from the first time we spoke all the way through the ceremony. She was flexible and responsive to all of our requests. The ceremony was joyous, spiritual, personal, deeply meaningful, and fun. We highly recommend Joyful Ceremonies.

    Dale was am amazing wedding planner who was easy to talk to and was so helpful with different ideas. She was very organized and by the time the big moment came she was on it-which I appreciated so much! My day was so perfect and I couldn't thank Dale more for that. I would highly recommend Dale to anyone to help plan their big day!

    Dale was very professional and so friendly. She made made myself, my husband, and family feel very comfortable. She is very easy to work with and super quick to reply to any questions or concerns. She was very attentive to our wants and needs for the ceremony. It was perfect. I would most definitely recommend Dale as a wedding officiant!!

    Dale made all the plans and chose the most beautiful spot for us to have our wedding. She was so helpful and gave us wonderful instructions on location and procedure, so it took all of the stress of planning out of it. Her approach to the ceremony was beautiful, the words she chose were so fitting, and she made the entire ceremony the most amazing experience we could have had! We are so glad that we chose Dale to be part of our special day!!!

    Joyful Ceremonies's reply:

    Mahalo Branda. It was a delight to perform your ceremony and to watch you in the photography session.

    Dale is very knowledgeable and feels like family the first time you meet her. Definitely worth meeting and, if she suits your style, she will be everything you want for your ceremony. She even helped us immensely with our rehearsal dinner, candle lighting and prayers.

    The ceremony that Dale created for us was intimate, humorous, spiritual, and inclusive of everyone that joined us in Hawaii for our wedding. At the last minute we change the location of our ceremony to one that was more remote and everyone, including Dale, accommodated us and made our day beautiful and special! We are so thankful that we found Dale for our intimate, unique wedding! Whatever wedding you are planning, we would recommend her as an officiant.

    Mahalo for the kind words. I'm so glad we were able to share your joy.

    I would absolutely book Dale. We called on a Wednesday morning wanting to get married in less than 2 days on a Friday morning on the beach. Dale was able to take care of everything and even when I called the next day to push the wedding back an hour she was able to accommodate us. We choose the Hawaiian wedding with Leigh's, coconut water, a conk shell and Kauai salt. It was the most gorgeous and beautiful wedding.

    Our vow renewal was a dream come true! Dale was incredibly professional and responsive to my every request. With zero stress from my end, Dale coordinated lovely music and photography and officiated over the perfect ceremony at a beautiful locale; she also brought beautiful flowers, leis, and ritual items for our ceremony. Knowing nothing of the area or other vendors, I was grateful that Dale was able to pull it all together within the budget I had in mind. All we had to do was show up, and my husband was so surprised! She went above and beyond, capturing lovely photos on her phone and even offering to watch our bag while we took a sunset beach stroll. I was also impressed that she followed up with us after the event to make sure that we were completely satisfied with the other vendors. We felt very taken care of, and she is truly a lovely person that added beauty to our day and trip! We highly recommend her to ensure your most special ceremony.

    Mahalo nui loa. I look forward to seeing you again on our beautiful island.

    We loved Dale for our intimate beach wedding. She incorporated the traditional Hawaiian rituals into our civic affair, and it was a very relaxing and relaxed way of getting married. Highly recommended!

    We were in Hawaii last year for vacation with family in the middle of two hurricanes. While it was not planned, this gave us time to realize that life is too short and my now husband proposed! We had no clue what we needed to do so we went online and got our license and then the concierge recommended Dale as the officiant. Dale accommodated us on short notice (same day) and even suggested beautiful area on a beach near by. Dale even provided props...as we had nothing! It was a great experience and we're glad we were able to share it with Dale!

    Dale provided a truly memorable ceremony for our wedding. She captured the essence of our relationship and the elements of spirituality that were important to us. She was very knowledgable and respectful of local culture, and truly made our wedding a unique event.

    Dale Rosenfeld made our wedding on the beach in Kaui so special for the both of us. When our wedding planner gave me a list of potential officiants, I was immediately drawn to Dale's photo and bio. We both loved her eclectic spirituality, where she draws inspiration from many sources. She has a great spirit full of love and light and we couldn't imagine our wedding service being officiated by any other minister.
