About Reverend Libby
Meet Reverend Libby —
Your Hawaii Wedding Officiant
Since 1991
Reverend Libby has been marrying couples in HawaiÊ»i since 1991 — more than three decades of standing with people on the most meaningful day of their lives. As founder of Weddings A La Heart, she has officiated non-denominational, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, and Hawaiian-style weddings, serving couples of all backgrounds with warmth and inclusivity.
​
A Kona resident since 1988 and a lifelong musician, Reverend Libby brings heart and intuition to every ceremony. She crafts personalized, soul-centered celebrations that reflect each couple's unique love story, often weaving in beautiful Hawaiian traditions upon request — from lei exchanges and Hawaiian blessings to the sound of conch shells calling the ceremony into being.
Every couple carries a story all their own. My role is to listen for it, honor it, and help speak it into the world on the day they begin their life together.
Reverend Libby's approach is rooted in deep listening. Whether a couple comes to her with a fully imagined vision or arrives uncertain about what they want, she has the rare ability to draw out what truly matters and shape it into a ceremony that feels unmistakably theirs. Her voice — shaped by decades of music — carries the kind of presence that can hold an entire moment.
​
Couples often describe their ceremonies with Reverend Libby as more than a wedding — a gathering that feels woven, sacred, and deeply alive. Whether you're planning a quiet beach elopement, a multi-faith blending of traditions, or a full Hawaiian-style ceremony, she meets you exactly where you are and walks the path with you from there.
