Our love story began on the beautiful island of Kauaʻi, a place that forever changed our lives. I (Aimee) was visiting Kauaʻi with my mom on a special mother-daughter vacation when fate brought me together with Jeremy. It was love at first sight—not just with each other, but also with this incredible island. Our connection was instant and deep, and I knew I couldn’t leave. Kauaʻi became my home, and Jeremy became my partner in love and life.
We were married on this magical island, and over the past 24 years, we’ve built a life that blends family, love, and our shared passions. As parents to two wonderful adult children, we treasure our journey and the beautiful memories Kauaʻi has given us. This island is not just where our love story began—it’s where we continue to grow, create, and share.
Inspired by our love and the magic of Kauaʻi, we launched Embrace of Aloha to help others start their own journeys as married couples in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Together, we specialize in planning and executing small, personalized weddings, ceremonies, and elopements that reflect the essence of Kauaʻi’s aloha spirit.
With decades of experience, we bring a personal touch to every wedding, from live Hawaiian and multi-genre music to officiating, vendor coordination, and day-of setup. Our partnerships with talented vendors ensure every detail—from fresh native flowers and leis to photography, videography, and unique touches like a cider toast and cacao tasting—creates a magical experience. And if you’re lucky, you might even catch one of Kauaʻi’s famous rainbows gracing your special day.
Through Embrace of Aloha, we pour our hearts into each event, ensuring a seamless, heartfelt celebration for couples who, like us, have fallen in love with this amazing location.
I grew up in Kailua, ʻOʻahu and moved to Kauaʻi at the age of 19, so Iʻve always been surrounded by the ocean and mountains. The natural beauty, my family, and the rich and diverse cultures of Hawaii have grounded me in the importance of love, connection, and aloha (Potential pull quote). The values of ALOHA inspires everything I do, and I’m honored to help couples weave them into their lives and celebrate their love on this magical island.
I love spending time with family, gardening, surfing and playing music with Aimee and our amazing friends. For me, life is about gratitude and connecting to our best selves, every day, and I bring that energy to every ceremony.
Originally from Olympia and Seattle, Washington, I fell in love with Kauaʻi’s breathtaking beauty and have called this paradise home since 2000. Music has always been my passion, and sharing it during wedding ceremonies brings me immense joy. Jeremy and I love singing together, creating soulful, emotional moments for each celebration. I also work closely with couples to design ceremonies that reflect their unique bond, ensuring their day is authentic, meaningful, and stress-free.
When I’m not performing or helping couples create their dream weddings, I lead music circles for youth, practice yoga, and cherish time with my family. Every wedding fills me with gratitude, and I’m honored to help bring your love story to life on this extraordinary island.
