Life can be stressful. Your wedding day shouldn’t be. In fact, your ceremony should have an air of ease, be filled with joy, be resounding in laughter and ultimately be true to you. Hoku Pacific Officiants will help you make the ceremony of your dreams become a reality. We provide Christian and non-religious officiant services for weddings and vow renewals. Natural elements such as sand mixing, lei exchange and salt water blessing of rings can be performed during your ceremony to add aspects of the Hawaiian tradition to your unique celebration.  Darren, the founder and creative director, can help guide you to set the scene that celebrates your love. Darren’s passion to connect, honor and serve others is the core motivator for celebrating and officiating weddings all across the island. 

Darren has been a minister for the past two decades. In addition to becoming an officiant, he earned a Master’s degree in English Literature at Chaminade University. Darren’s background gives him an impassioned perspective on the significance of vows, tradition, and ceremony. His love for oratory speech translates to his officiating and his care and attention for each of his couples is undeniable in his demeanor.
