Roger was a wonderful find.
He helped me plan the perfect small 40th anniversary vow renewal ceremony. Hawaii has some specific rules for use of its beaches, so we wanted someone who knew those rules.
He provided the beach permit for our event as well as two beautiful leis and a conch shell blessing. We had a family member to perform the actual ceremony, so Roger gave an introduction and then took photos throughout our short ceremony. After, he took group and couples shots of our family.
We’ve shared them around the group and everyone loves how beautifully he was able to capture our event. He was quick to communicate about everything, made excellent suggestions about timing and location, and was quicker than I expected getting the photos to us.
Thanks, Roger. If we make it to 50 years, we’ll be back!
Aloha Roger,
Your pictures are very nice,
we are both very pleased with them.
Can’t wait to see the rest of them.
The ceremony was also very nice and unforgettable.
Thank you for everything.

We couldn’t have had a better marrying man!
It started from the email asking for his availability…
I just felt like I knew Roger already
On the day of ceremony, he was waiting for us and everything else was an awesome memory!
Tell him your Luv story, he will make it part of the ceremony!
He took awesome photos, too!
Thank you so much, Roger, for making our elopement forever special!!

We highly recommend Roger and Bobbie Jo!
They are 2 of the nicest people in touch with romance and reality.
We got married last month and couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out! From the very beginning the process was smooth sailing, welcoming,
felt like they were part of the family!
We hope to return to this paradise soon.
If you are even thinking of using their services… do it!!
Mahalo!

In 50 years of a wonderful marriage, this has become one of the happiest days of them ALL, thanks to Roger & Bobbie Jo. A big celebration at home just wasn’t in the cards for us. The idea of a tiny, quiet, vow renewal on a first visit to Maui, blossomed after the very first contact with Roger. He’s awesome. Emails came & went frequently, with him paying close attention. He offered great suggestions, & easily took our ideas & ran with them‑improving on everything. On the most beautiful, cozy beach, Bobbie Jo played the ukulele I dreamt of, & sang OUR songs like an Hawaiian angel. Roger transformed our Luv Story into what read “like an enchanting Disney Movie”. It was all beyond wonderful! We laughed, we danced in the surf, & Roger & Bobbie Jo captured it all in the most glorious photos ever,— (My dad was a great photographer, & he’d have been thrilled!) For a day that exceeds all of your dreams, Roger is the only person you need to call.
Roger renewed my wife and my vows on April 22, 2017 and we could not have had a better experience – a memory for a lifetime. I planned to surprise my wife on our 10th Anniversary with a vow renewal and I came upon Roger in my research. He seemed to have the right spirituality and vibe for what I was looking for and it was absolutely the right call. Roger helped me plan the surprise and was very patient with my concerns (this was WAY out of my comfort zone). The ceremony was very much a surprise for my wife, she was thrilled, and Roger’s service was beautiful but also funny – the right tone. I’ve just downloaded the great photographs and can’t wait to get them in a book. Thank you Roger! Mahalo!
Craig Ward and Terri Garland
Roger is definitely amazing at what he does! We found him online and took a chance since we live in California and were going to Maui to get married on the beach and we picked the absolutely best person to do for the job. Not only did he give a good ceremony but the photos are amazing. He went above and beyond what any other photographer was doing on the same beach during different weddings. He made the photos very creative and knew how to time the sunset for the best opportunities. He also rushed out wedding video and completed the photo enhancements so we would have them in time for our reception that next weekend.
Hi All!
These pictures are absolutely amazing! We renewed our vows on a beautiful beach in Maui and will forever be able to relive it thanks to these amazing photos!! Thank you so much Roger and team for capturing all the details (some I even forgot until I saw all the photos!)!! We will continue to tell all our friends and family that if ever in Maui for any occasion that they want captured, to reach out to you!
Many thanks!!
Cheers!
Brandon and Heather Gallaher
Aloha dear Bobbie Jo,
Thank you so much for the magical wedding ceremony you performed for us on 10th of November. Since a couple of days we are back home in the Netherlands and still linger on in the incredible memories of our wedding you gave us. It was the most romantic moment we have ever experienced, and we feel so grateful and honoured the universe found you to give your blessings to our love and future as husband and wife. Mahalo from all of our hearts for giving us the most beautiful spiritual and intimate wedding we could have ever imagined. We’ll carry you in our hearts for the rest of our lives.
With much love and gratefulness,
Sophie and Tim
Maui Wedding Testimonials
To those in love looking for a Maui wedding
Our experience with Bobbie Jo and Roger was exceedingly positive. We contacted them about a month prior to our wedding date.
They were very upbeat and easy to work with.
Special requests and questions were handled promptly and professionally.
They were also very affordable.
A line on the website states “Keep It Simple Sweetheart”
but simple does not mean shoddy
To us, it meant to focus on the ceremony of love and commitment
rather than the superfluous details
We were married on the beach on a lovely day in February.
The setting was elegant and definitely more than expected. We were met with friendly and genuine greetings of caring and joy. A magnificent flower arrangement, set on the captivating backdrop of the crashing surf with an extraordinary ceremony
As a physician, I meet hundreds of people per week and have had to develop a sense of character Bobbie Jo and Roger Curley are THE wedding specialists,
who will treat you as friends before, during, and after the wedding. We highly recommend and applaud their service.
Janette & Ryan
Absolutely recommend Roger AKA “The Marrying Man”
From the very first phone call he made everything simple.
He referred us to the lady who did our marriage license, had links on his website to obtain a marriage license, he took care of our Beach permit and made everything so easy.
Roger was very kind and easygoing.
His warm demeanor helped our ceremony to feel personal and gave it the exact vibe we dreamed of.
We had to change locations at last minute, due to the weather and high tide.
Roger gave us a location suggestion which turned out to be an absolute beautiful spot.
Roger was there early waiting for us, had the beautiful flowers that we had ordered from him ready to go, leis for a lei exchange ceremony, and a conch shell blessing.
We also had him do some photography and let me tell you it was better than I even expected he is an awesome photographer and I have such beautiful photos to remember the most beautiful day!
Thank you, Roger and Bobbie Jo! The wedding of our daughter and son-in-law
was everything we could have imagined. The setting, the ceremony,
the flowers, the pictures – everything was perfect!
Thank you for your assistance as we planned the wedding on Maui,
all the answers to every question we had, the arrangements made -you made the whole process seamless.
We so appreciate everything you did.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Thank you for sending the sneek peek pictures so quickly!
They are stunning!
Thank you and Bobbie Jo again for a beautiful ceremony.
I think it was everything Calyssa wanted and more…very magical!
Thanks again!

If ever an event turned out in reality to be just as beautiful and idyllic, romantic and perfect as one could have hoped for in one’s wildest imagination, such was our incredible wedding presided over by the Maui Marrying Muse (aka Bobbie Jo Curley, celebrant and musician extraordinaire) and her man (Roger Curley, aka The Maui Marrying Man), outstanding photographer and videographer.
From beginning to end, our experience with Bobbie Jo and Roger testified to their thorough professionalism, creativity, and dedication to their art of providing their clients with a magical transformation of their ideas into a wedding ceremony that will be for them forever a beautiful memory—as it was for us.
We could not have asked for a lovelier wedding.
Bobbie Jo helped us every step of the way as we designed our own personal wedding ceremony and she responded immediately by email as we worked through the details. Far more than that, she brought our ceremony to life, not merely reading our text but speaking it naturally and with such a depth of feeling that we both found incredibly moving. Her beautiful singing and playing the ukulele added a whole new dimension to our vows.
Roger captured the true-to-life moments at every stage of our ceremony and was a complete delight to work with as we selected the best of his professionally edited images that have become a permanent record of our special experience.
I will say without any reservation that these two people are among the most special and nicest people that you would ever hope to meet. You might well find that they become your cherished friends and that you will want to see them again if you are ever lucky enough to return to that magical island of Maui, where they helped you to live out your dreams and to make memories that last for a lifetime.
Maui Marrying Muse’s Response:
Oh my gosh Mark…what can we say but a heartfelt thank you? You and Carolien were such a delight to work with—I have actually incorporated some of your beautiful ideas from your ceremony into mine now….especially the Hindu love poem. What powerful prose! All of our blessings and love to you both 🙂 Mahalo nui loa, and a Mele Kalikimaka to you
The Whole Wedding Package was Perfect

We are delighted to have chosen Roger, the Maui Marrying Man, for our wedding ceremony. It was a daunting task to choose “the right” person for our ceremony. After researching numerous options, Roger was our superior choice. He answered his telephone right away and spent a considerable amount of time speaking to us about his ceremony process and taking the time to get to know us and our needs. The fact that we were not just another person in his schedule of marriages made us feel good and connected to this person who would solidify our special bond for life.
We love how he has a “get to know you” request, and he took the time to read what we said about our relationship and even incorporate personal aspects from what we shared into the ceremony! His website has so much content it is fun getting lost in the information which makes the preparations and process of getting married fun! His focus from the beginning was making this moment as special as possible, and he put the time and effort into making sure this happened. Before the ceremony, we contacted him once again. We knew we wanted certain elements incorporated into our ceremony, but we were not sure “how” to make this happen. He spent time brainstorming ideas with us and accommodating our every wish. It ended up being even better than we ever imagined.
Our wedding was perfect from the coordination aspects, to the location, promptness, and photography. We have no doubt that Roger is the best choice for wedding ceremonies in Maui. We are truly thankful to him for making this special time in our lives memorable, individualized, and stress-free. We like knowing that our ceremony was uniquely “ours” and we were special enough that he took the time to be sure we felt this. His prices are excellent and a testament to the reasons he does this work! His heart is in it one hundred percent. His generosity has glowed throughout our process, and Roger is more than just the guy that married us. We consider him a special part of our extended family. He is the type of person you want to keep in your contacts because of what he offers to the world and to the couples whose lives he touches.
We wish we could do it all over again! We look forward to seeing Roger again in the future for vow renewals!
Casey and Scott
Julie Summer (Kruse) here from August 24, 2013. I hope you and Roger are well.
A year and 3 months later, Jesaiah and I couldn’t be happier. I have the picture of you singing “You Are My Sunshine” at the end of our ceremony sitting on my desk. The memory brings me joy and happiness while I plug away at work, and it is also a very fun picture to share with people who visit me throughout the day. Additionally, my parents and friends in attendance said it was the most intimate wedding they have ever attended, and they loved every moment of it – even when we had to have a brief interruption to pass around Kleenex. Having been Jesaiah’s first long-distance trip in his life, he has fallen in love with Maui. Six months later, when we were experiencing a frigid “Polar Vortex” in Minnesota, we hopped on a plane to escape for a week, and that’s not all. We are returning once again, this upcoming February for another dose of Maui. We can’t get enough! From time to time, we even joke about moving there!
Thank you again for such a memorable day! You both did fantastic and I absolutely loved how personable you were, tailoring our wedding to us, and giving it a very personal touch with a few laughs included. We are now trying to add to our family (knock on wood) and hope we can share Maui’s gifts with our children someday. J
Mahalo, Julie Anna Summer
If you are considering getting married in Maui
we would highly recommend the Maui Marrying Muse
They came recommended from a friend here in Seattle
My husband and I were Maui’d on September 4th 2014
and were very happy with them
I have been to many weddings and I have always felt the officiant was
very grey, lack of emotion & being personable
Bobby Jo on the other hand is the COMPLETE OPPOSITE
she is engaging with everyone – she has very soulful eyes and it conveys throughout the ceremony that she truly cares and she does.
I also ordered my flowers through her and 15 leis and they were beautiful- everyone who was at our wedding remarked on them.
We also had our pictures done by her husband Roger and he did a phenomenal job – and what’s really nice is they will put a few up on FB
(while he’s still editing them) so you can see what you are in store for.
You are awesome, I was just looking through the pictures and
I’m so happy with everything.
You both did a good job.
Communication was easy before the wedding and if I had a question
I got an answer within a reasonable amount of time.
Would I use Bobby Jo and Roger again? Yes.
Would I recommend them? Yes… They are great to work with!
If you are considering renewing your vows or getting married
check them out.
Mahalo from Seattle Candy~n~Clint
The Maui Marrying Man provided us with an exceptional dream come true wedding!
Roger is professional, punctual, and responsive.
As we began to plan our wedding, we knew we wanted it to be a beautiful ceremony for us to remember forever. There could be no place better to be married than Maui. We are so thankful to have found each other and look forward to starting a family in the near future. Not only will we be joining as husband and wife together but more importantly we are one another’s best friend for life.
Thank you for a memorable experience.
Joni & Christopher
Roger and his wife provided us with a wedding that will never be forgotten.
The pictures that were taken were of truly professional quality
and loved by all that viewed them.
After the wedding the four of us had time to have a drink and get to know each other better.
They are a remarkable couple.
George & Barbara
Roger and his Team treated us like Family.
Awesome people and awesome quality.
Pictures we will cherish our entire lives.
10 out of 10 for these guys.
Life is a blessing and we are excited to live the rest of our adventures together.
Brad and Jen
Stacy & Andrew
We had a great experience. Our ceremony was just the two of us, no family, no hassle. Roger added a lovely handfasting’s at our request and our pictures were great. We are excited to return and renew our vows with Maui Marrying Man.
We met over 13 years ago and have been together ever since. Our goal is to grow our love as we grow old. Our love story is pretty personal. Let’s just say it is an intense, passionate state of bliss.

Julie Boy oh oy…
we were NOT disappointed when we picked the Maui Marrying Man and his Wife to perform at our wedding ceremony.
They are genuine, down to earth, easy going, spiritually gifted and experts in the field of photography.
The experience was unrushed, natural and beautiful.
They are friendly and good at what they do.
She married us with perfect vows and He did the photography.
Loved it!

I wish I could choose all 5 plus some..
We had the most amazing experience with Maui Marrying Man.
We are from Utah and wanted a sunset beach wedding with a small group of family and friends.
They helped with everything, and made our day stress free.
It was everything we could have dreamed of and more!
Highly recommend Maui Marrying Man!!!
Maribel n Greg
Our experience was a great one.
Was not sure what to expect so went on quite a bit of a hike to get to the spot for pictures.
It was more of a private area which was surprising but worth it for the awesome views.
His ritual and storytelling were interesting and enjoyable.
We would recommend his services for couples that are getting married on the island.
Thank you.
Silas & Susan Q
The Maui Marrying Man couldn’t have made it any more magical and perfect.
Charles & Lana
We got married this week on the beach in Maui and it was amazing. Roger was so helpful in getting everything ready.
Kahu Carrll and Gary did the wedding on the beach and they were wonderful.
We could not be happier and highly recommend them.
We plan to come back and renew our vows the same way.
It was perfect
Brandi & Stephen
Roger and his crew, Eric and Ian provided us with THE ceremony I had envisioned and then some.
Roger stayed in contact with us even through the COVID shutdown.
He provided us a no hassle reschedule after our original date was bamboozled by COVID shutdowns.
Eric was incredibly spiritual and the perfect addition to our ceremony,
Ian provided us the most advantageous shots after our ceremony.
I cannot praise this company enough for making this brides day so stress free and perfect.
Thank you.
Robert & Karrie
I wanted to surprise my husband with a 30th wedding anniversary vow renewal while we were celebrating in Wailea.
I contacted the Maui Marrying Man about a week before our arrival.
I was very much impressed with the constant communication throughout the whole process.
The website was easy to access and provide payment.
I was put in touch with the officiant who then contacted me for details about us as a couple so that he could include those in the renewal.
On the day of the anniversary, it was scheduled to rain almost the entire day. I was a bit nervous but the officiant assured me it would be ok and we would find an appropriate place to do it.
Luckily the skies cleared and we had the most perfect sunset ceremony right in front of our hotel!
The officiant offered to play his ukulele (for an additional price) which provided incredible ambience!
We cannot speak more highly of the photographer, Ian!
Without being intrusive, he captured the most beautiful photos and was extremely kind and easy to work with.
As this occurred during the pandemic, we always felt safe.
I would highly recommend this company!
Juliana B
Thanks so much for our wedding)
Wedding minister JJ was a very nice lady, who make great job with us) everything was very professional, beautiful ceremony,
thanks for a great memory’s
Roger did an amazing job at our ceremony!
We had a sick baby with us, who was crying quite a bit!
Roger was beyond accommodating! And was able to
capture the most beautiful pictures of us.
He wrote the most amazing and touching
description of our relationship…
Thank you so much for personalizing it!
It means so much to us!
We had planned to get married in Maui last minute.
Roger was awesome at communicating via email.
We get instant response from him everytime.
He made the whole process smooth and stress free!
We would definitely recommend him to anyone who would like to have a magical experience.
Dear Bobbie Jo,
Thank you so much for everything. From the beginning you were so sweet & accommodating. What I learned through out this process is that vendors that are personable and prompt are set above the rest! and that you were! Thank you for learning a new song and playing everything just how I wanted it.The music was so amazing that I can’t even describe it. I’m hoping someone got a video of me & Canon D down the aisle but I did get a few sent of you guys playing thinking out loud and it was flawless, even how you transitioned into Canon D. OMG! It really made the whole ceremony. Not to mention your wooden harp was so, so beautiful and went perfect with you two sitting on the log. It was so magical! So many people were in years and your sound just added to those moments. We are a gonna refer you a bunch and told our planner that you’re the best choice as well. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts – you were a true blessing to work with.
with the fullest hearts,
Lauren & Matt
Thank you for everything.
That day is a day we will always remember
We celebrated my parents’ 50th anniversary.
Roger did a great job!
We couldn’t have asked for anything better.
He personalized the ceremony with
little stories about my parents, their love story,
and he had us laughing and also in tears.
He was quick to respond to emails
and so very helpful in the planning.
It was a day we will never forget.
Beautiful ceremony and pictures
and very reasonably priced.
Thank you so much!

Before our trip I was planning to have a photo session
but did not have time to look into that.
Then when I saw the way you were working, I told Sergio:
he is the person I am looking for.
You are very talented and has a beautiful soul and big heart. This makes you a very special photographer.
Thank you so much for everything.
Beautiful job!
So thankful for that.
It was very nice to meet you. Hopefully we will have another opportunity to have a family photo session by you in Maui.
I wish all the best for you.
Sincerely,

They all LOVED it!

Thank you again and we will keep in touch!
Jesaiah Julie Anna Summer
Thank you Bobbie Jo and Roger. You made our wedding so perfect!
It was exactly what we wanted
With just a small bit of information the ceremony was personalized Nothing cookie cutter about it our ceremony was
perfect for only Duane and Ashlee
Bobbie Jo answered all of my questions almost instantly
no matter what time of day they were. They were also able to provide us will a really reasonable price for our day.
We were able to get some really special things

We really can’t thank you enough!
Cannot wait to get home to brag about our wedding!!
We had a great time and the ceremony was so beautiful.
Really enjoyed ourselves, I don’t understand why more couples don’t run away and get Maui’d as it was stress free.
Truly romantic !
and I hope the Hawaiian blessings remind us in our darkest hours why we chose each other in the first place.
Mahalo!

As a fellow harpist, I have known of Bobbie Jo Curley’s work for many years. The magic she brings to ceremony is deep and profound. She is gifted with instruments of voice, music and spirit…. of being in the moment like time suspended here, now. Would I choose her to officiate my ceremony? Absolutely, in a heartbeat!

Reviewed On 12/01/2014 for wedding on 9-16-13
As a late 50’s couple we weren’t looking for a big 300 guest affair, just 2 people on a beach at sunset. Among all the traditional wedding planners on the internet we stumbled across Roger and Bobbie Jo’s site and they were exactly what we were looking for with the their tag line,
“spend your money on the honeymoon” definitely getting our attention.
The photos and the whole tone of the website gave us the impression that this was the kind of down-to-earth and personalized service we were after.
From the beginning they were responsive and helpful – given our villa location they recommended Kapalua Beach on a Monday evening and recommended a caterer for a dinner-for-two on the cliff afterwards.
They created an aisle of pineapples, incredible leis for each of us and custom vows based on information they gathered from us in advance.
While Roger snapped away on his big camera, Bobbie Jo started the ceremony with the traditional blowing of the conch horn (which she picked up while sailing in Indonesia) and intermixed English and Hawaiian in her incredibly heartfelt intonation to love and cherish each other.
As the “I do’s” were said a few drops of rain, a Hawaiian omen of good luck,
were followed by a rainbow as the moon rose in the east and the sun set between Molokai and Lanai for the most incredible post-ceremony photo op.
She handed us a beautiful calligraphy certificate and turned us over to the caterer as darkness fell.
That candlelit dinner was an experience not to be missed but that review is for another vendor.
A few days later we dropped by their place in the hills above Kihei to pick up a disk of the “raw” photo files (big files with super high resolution). With zero photo shopping required, we had three of those enlarged and framed to hang in our home as a constant reminder to that incredible day.

Our Hawaiian Wedding Song
Reviewed On 11/11/2014
From the very first beginning,
being in touch with the Maui Marrying Muse was a pleasure.
he website, its pictures, the music, and video clips with
Bobbie Jo playing flute on the beach of Maui
provides a good impression of their approach to wedding ceremonies.
Working with Bobbie Jo and Roger to create our special wedding day showed us their professionalism, integrity and true kindness.
Bobbie Jo gave us the freedom to come up with our own text and yet read it with such conviction as if they were her own words.
Her beautiful interpretation of some native Hawaiian customs and her songs on the ukulele kept us focused on the stunning Maui beach where we spoke our vows.
Roger took nice pictures all through the ceremony without distracting us and at sunset asked us to pose for some formal ones.
The pictures came out very nice and Roger’s guitar play as background music for the photo gallery made us realize that he is an exceptional musician too.
We highly recommend Bobbie Jo and Roger for any couple interested in an intimate beach wedding, full of romance and conducted by warm hearted, talented and creative people.

My husband and I were married on January 18th, 2014 by this wonderful husband and wife team, Bobbie Jo and Roger. We had a simple, romantic short and sweet ceremony with a touch of Hawaiian tradition on Po’olenalena Beach (Makena) at sunset on the beautiful island of Maui. Bobbie Jo officiated the ceremony and Roger was our photographer. This team of professionals made us feel welcomed and loved as soon as we arrived. They truly care about making your wedding day perfect and memorable. They let us choose the beach, time and date – they were exceptionally flexible! I would recommend them to anyone wanting to get married on Maui. I remember their saying, and this truly describes our experience “Keep it simple sweetheart, and leave the rest for the honeymoon.” I must also mention that the photographs we received were stunning and we had plenty to choose from. The value cannot be beat!

We came from Australia to get married
and being so remote in the planning phase
you need to trust the team at the other end.
Trust was the only the beginning,
Bobbie Jo and Roger made sure our day was very special.
From the first emails to finally meeting (on the day)
we felt as though we had known them for a long time
and most definitely that they wanted our wedding
to be all we wanted it to be and more.
The ceremony felt very personalised, because of this,
and my family still talks about how great (and fun) it was.
The photos were the icing on the cake, they were amazing.
Feedback in one word would be sensational,
I could not recommend more.
It’s a shame it a service you only need once;)
we will be back to renew vows some day and wouldn’t use anyone but
The Maui Marrying Muse team.

Thank you ever so much! We surely had a blast with your family :)…we can’t wait to see you again and hope your holidays are filled with as much fun and love as you emote! Aloha e, Bobbie Jo & Roger Curley

Our wedding was 4/25/2015, Bobbie Jo and her husband Roger did a great job with our wedding. They were extremely flexible, extremely accommodating, not to mention a lot of fun to work with. I would highly recommend them. They treated all our guests, and our family, specifically my senior mom and dad, extremely well.
Everything from the music and the ceremony, to the pictures were fantastic
They helped us so much and mostly it was done all over email, from the perfect beach to the perfect flowers , it was amazing.

Bobbie Jo and Roger were both very professional, friendly and sweet.
I kept changing beach location and time because of a small baby and they accommodated us very well.
They were easily reachable by phone.
They also showed up on time to the ceremony
and performed a very short and sweet ceremony as we strongly requested.
We were all very pleased with their service and highly recommend them for an affordable, stress free, simple Maui wedding!!

We are delighted to have chosen Roger, the Maui Marrying Man,
for our wedding ceremony.
It was a daunting task to choose “the right” person for our ceremony.
After researching numerous options, Roger was our superior choice.
He answered his telephone right away and spent a considerable amount of time speaking to us about his ceremony process and taking the time to get to know us and our needs.
The fact that we were not just another person in his schedule of marriages made us feel good and connected to this person who would
solidify our special bond for life.
We renewed our vows on our 30th wedding anniversary. Roger was amazing. Very friendly and was so quick to respond to my “many” emails LOL. Carrll was so nice and took great pictures that captured memories that will last a lifetime. We couldn’t have been happier. They are definitely the best, and I can’t thank them enough.

The whole experience was great! Perfect place and great ceremony and great pictures
Wonderful experience! When you’re planning to have a ceremony more than 7000 miles from home it is great to have an experienced and professional team in your corner. Roger was there for us from the day we placed our deposit through the end when he spent 20 minutes with me on the phone while we were trying to locate the recommended beach, guiding us the whole way. He willing accepted payments for 6 months before the wedding as a convenience to us and also provided me with contacts for hair and makeup in the area. Thanks to Roger, Eric and Ian for making our wedding a truly beautiful and remarkable occasion.

Dear Roger and Bobbie Jo,
Mahalo for making our celebration the best day ever!
From our correspondence to the actual day, it was perfect. The ocean overlook location was magnificent and we are so grateful you suggested it.
It’s no wonder Bobbi Jo is the Maui Marrying Muse! She is the loveliest person and connected with us and our ceremony on the perfect level. Although Sam and I eloped, I honesty felt as though I had family there, with her caring and loving nature.
We have arrived back home but plan to make Maui an annual place for making more memories. We hope to cross paths with you again; I feel as though you two are very special!
Good luck with the sailboat adventures and thank you again.
Naomi & Sam
Just a quick note to express my/our gratitude and appreciate for Bobbie Jo and our beautiful and heart centered ceremony!
Blessings and Love

Absolutely recommend Roger AKA “The Marrying Man” From the very first phone call he made everything simple. He referred us to the lady who did our marriage license, had links on his website to obtain a marriage license, he took care of our Beach permit and made everything so easy.
Roger was very kind and easygoing. His warm demeanor helped our ceremony to feel personal and gave it the exact vibe we dreamed of.
We had to change locations at last minute, due to the weather and high tide. Roger gave us a location suggestion which turned out to be an absolute beautiful spot.
Roger was there early waiting for us, had the beautiful flowers that we had ordered from him ready to go, leis for a lei exchange ceremony, and a conch shell blessing. We also had him do some photography and let me tell you it was better than I even expected he is an awesome photographer and I have such beautiful photos to remember the most beautiful day!

More reviews emailed in for Bobbie Jo - The Maui Marrying Muse & Roger - The Maui Marrying Man
We love how he has a “get to know you” request,
and he took the time to read what we said about our relationship
and even incorporate personal aspects from what we shared into the ceremony!
His website has so much content it is fun getting lost in the information which makes the preparations and process of getting married fun!
His focus from the beginning was making this moment as special as possible,
and he put the time and effort into making sure this happened.
Before the ceremony, we contacted him once again.
We knew we wanted certain elements incorporated into our ceremony,
but we were not sure “how” to make this happen.
He spent time brainstorming ideas with us and accommodating our every wish.
It ended up being even better than we ever imagined.
Our wedding was perfect from the coordination aspects, to the location, promptness, and photography.
We have no doubt that Roger is the best choice for wedding ceremonies in Maui. We are truly thankful to him for making this special time in our lives memorable, individualized, and stress free.
We like knowing that our ceremony was uniquely “ours”
and we were special enough that he took the time to be sure we felt this.
His prices are excellent and a testament to the reasons he does this work!
His heart is in it one hundred percent.
His generosity has glowed throughout our process,
and Roger is more than just the guy that married us.
We consider him a special part of our extended family.
He is the type of person you want to keep in your contacts
because of what he offers to the world
and to the couples whose lives he touches.
We wish we could do it all over again!
We look forward to seeing Roger again in the future for vow renewals!
Casey and Scott
