Wedding Officiant for 11 years. Elopements, weddings, vow renewals, and same sex weddings. I work with the couple to come up with the wedding ceremony they want. I also have a location in the rain forest in Volcano for private weddings. I am on the east (Hilo) side of Hawaii Island (Big Island) and to perform on the west (Kailua-Kona) side, due to travel time, I would charge more. usually don't go to the Kona side of the island. I do not accept checks at anytime. I do present a receipt explaining what the fee was for. Cash only at time of ceremony. This is due to a scam that has happened to me. Mahalo.
