Description:

Hi, I'm Jo Fraticelli, and I'm a licensed, certified, and registered Wedding Officiant with the State of Hawaii Dept. Of Health. My Assistant Officiant, Kepa, and I are here to guide you through every step of the process, from filing the initial online marriage license to scheduling an in-person appointment with a Hawaii Dept of Health agent, all the way through to your wedding day. You can count on us to guide you every step of the way, providing checklists and making sure that your marriage license is approved and issued in time for your big day. After your ceremony, we'll finalize and submit your paperwork online to legitimate your union. We're here to get you from day 1 to marrying you on your wedding day, providing you with one-on-one service and making sure everything is in order, from applying for your marriage license to picking up beach/park permits and everything in between.

We offer a variety of services, from marriage and elopement ceremonies to commitment and vow renewal ceremonies. Whether you're looking for an intimate or large ceremony, religious or non-religious, we can personalize your ceremony to your specific desires. Our ceremonies are short, sweet, and memorable, tailored to your unique needs. We don't offer copy-and-paste ceremonies but rather work with you to design a ceremony that's special for you.

As a Native Hawaiian born and raised on Kaua'i, I know the local customs and history of places. We can recommend beaches and other areas that are perfect for your wedding ceremony, making your special day even more memorable.

In addition to being a Wedding Officiant, I am also a Florist Designer and Seamstress. Whether you need bridal bouquet, leis, headbands, wedding dress alterations, or more, we are here for you.

We keep our fees transparent, starting at $275 for ceremony locations in Ewa Beach and One'lua. Fees vary depending on location, with prices ranging from $300 for Kalaeloa to $400 for Northshore. Additional fees may apply for certain dates, and less than 48 hours' notice may result in an additional charge of $50.

Please note that the State of Hawaii and City & County of Honolulu require permits for its beaches and parks. We file and get permits for our clients, and we're insured and legal to conduct ceremonies at specific locations. If you choose to have us file for permits not in our referral group, you'll need to make sure your photographer is properly insured and permitted as well.

We're here to help you create your dream wedding and make your special day an unforgettable experience. Whether you're looking for a traditional or unique ceremony, we're here to guide you every step of the way. Contact us to learn more about our services and book the wedding ceremony of your dreams.

Love of My Life Weddings provided us with a truly unforgettable experience. The officiant was exceptionally friendly, warm, and genuine, going above and beyond to ensure that our big day was unique and heartfelt. From initial contact to after the ceremony, we felt comfortable and at ease knowing we were in competent and compassionate hands. Our requests to include our children in the Ohana Blessing were flawlessly woven into the service, and the officiant added some charming touches of her own. As the only wedding that day, we felt like we were her top priority, and her kindness and thoughtfulness made our day that much more magical. We are grateful for the deep connection we felt with her and for her extraordinary service, which we know she provides from the heart. Love of My Life Weddings is organized and authentic, making certain each couple has a significant and special wedding day. I highly recommend her services for anyone seeking a remarkable beach wedding experience.

Jo went above and beyond to make our wedding day extraordinary. She assumed responsibilities beyond those of an officiant, more akin to those of a wedding planner. Considering we made a spur-of-the-moment decision to have the ceremony in just a week's time, her efforts were especially valued. We are incredibly grateful for her hard work and would gladly recommend her services.

Aunty Jo, aka Fairy Godmada, exceeded our expectations in every way possible. Besides being an outstanding officiant, she became like family to us. Her exceptional service proved that she genuinely cared about making our day special. Our first phone call was all it took to establish a trustworthy rapport. Aunty Jo seamlessly guided us through the process and helped us decide on the perfect location for our marriage. She expertly handled all the paperwork, assisted us with scheduling an appointment with Hawaii Health Department, and even recommended a fantastic team for makeup, photographs, and other extras. Aunty Jo played a crucial role in designing our beautiful floral arrangements and helped us create personalized vows. Every aspect of our ceremony was thoughtfully tailored to our unique desires. She went above and beyond to create an unforgettable, personalized experience. Aunty Jo's small gestures, such as keeping my Mother-in-law company, left a lasting impact. We are grateful that Love of My Life Weddings made the unknowns of an out-of-state elopement process much smoother. Aunty Jo was always available to answer our calls and texts, offer guidance, and provide suggestions. From our perspective, we got the “full package” experience with stunning, custom florals tailored to our specific tastes. Aunty Jo made us feel comfortable, alleviated our worries about eloping, and created a flawless day. We will forever be grateful to her! Mahalo, Aunty Jo!

Jo, my fairy godmother, was truly remarkable. She possessed exceptional knowledge, was incredibly supportive and displayed a compassionate nature. Throughout the wedding process, I never felt like a customer, but rather like a cherished friend or relative. I highly suggest that you choose Jo to not only officiate your wedding but also to tend to the floral arrangements and photographs. My husband and I were ecstatic with the result, as the ceremony was intimate and the entire event was seamless.
