WEDDINGS
SHARING THE “LANGUAGE OF LOVE” THROUGH WORD & MUSIC
Aloha! I’m Derick Sebastian, and it would be a true honor to minister your upcoming union rooted in faith, love, and the spirit of Aloha. Thank you sincerely for considering me to be part of your sacred day. I know it’s a blessing and a privilege to share my “Language of Love” through both word and music.
CONTACTThere’s nothing more beautiful than witnessing love — the merging of two hearts choosing to beat as one. As a licensed and ordained minister, the words I speak during your ceremony come from the heart — filled with passion, truth, and purpose. Officiating weddings has become a true calling in my life, allowing me to connect more deeply with couples and families during such unforgettable moments.
I also take great joy in performing music. As a professional ukulele artist, I’ve been honored to perform on national and international stages — including countless wedding ceremonies. Music is the universal language of love, and when expressed from the soul, it becomes a powerful thread that binds us. I strive to make every ceremony not only meaningful for the couple but also memorable for everyone present.
With over 25 years of experience in weddings and professional performance, I bring a calm presence, deep reverence, and heartfelt energy to every celebration I’m part of.
I’m beyond happily married for 20 years to my wife and soulmate, Raymi. We’re blessed with three incredible sons — Santana, Marley, and Jackson. With faith and family as my foundation, I hold deep reverence for the institution of marriage and bring that same heart into every ceremony I perform.
As an island boy born and raised on Maui, I’m proud to call this special place home. I’m thrilled you’ve chosen to celebrate your love here in paradise. I will do my very best to ensure your ceremony flows seamlessly — filled with intention, joy, and unforgettable memories.
Mahalo nui loa for the opportunity to be part of your love story. I trust my “Language of Love” will speak to your hearts and help mark the beginning of a new chapter in your lives.
Sincerest Blessings,
Derick Sebastian

Lauren & Austin, Gather on Maui
"We were so lucky to have Derick officiate our wedding in Wailea, Maui. From the very first moments, Derick set the perfect tone, blending humor, warmth, and heartfelt meaning into a ceremony that felt uniquely us. We appreciated his incorporation of both traditional values and Hawaiian traditions in our ceremony.
Our wedding was small and intimate, held at the beautiful Wailea Golf Club with our immediate family, and Derick made it feel both personal and deeply memorable. He struck the perfect balance between lighthearted laughter and genuine emotion, creating a ceremony we’ll never forget.
Derick has a special gift for connecting with couples and crafting something that feels authentic and meaningful. We can’t recommend him highly enough to any couple looking for an officiant who truly cares and brings joy, love, and personality to your big day.
Thank you, Derick, for making our ceremony everything we hoped for and more!"
Jose & Bianka, Andaz Maui at Wailea
"Derick didn't just meet our expectations as an officiant, he absolutely blew them out of the water!
From our very first meeting, we felt an immediate connection and ease. Derick’s service was both deeply personal and incredibly reassuring. He invested the time to meet with us beforehand, patiently perfecting every detail and answering every anxious question. His flexibility on the wedding day was a godsend; accommodating last-minute changes with a genuine smile instantly wiped away our stress and was a huge relief.
When the ceremony started, he worked absolute magic. He kept the atmosphere light, overflowing with joy, and perfectly personalized to our story. He has a brilliant ability to read the room, knowing exactly when to inject a bit of humor to keep our jitters at bay.
Beyond the perfect delivery, Derick is a true artist of the moment. He showed such thoughtful awareness, subtly knowing precisely when to step back and out of view. This allowed our photographer to capture the most pure, intimate, and unforgettable photos of just us…a detail that truly elevated the entire experience.
The best compliment came from our family: they were utterly impressed with his wonderful work, with all of our siblings declaring they want Derick for their own future weddings! We simply adore the memories he helped us create and wholeheartedly recommend him for a truly heartfelt and unforgettable day."
