WEDDINGS
SHARING THE “LANGUAGE OF LOVE” THROUGH WORD & MUSIC
Aloha! I'm Derick Sebastian, and it would be a true honor to officiate your upcoming union rooted in faith, love, and the spirit of Aloha. Mahalo for considering me to be part of one of the most meaningful days of your lives. I believe a wedding is more than a ceremony—it's a sacred moment to slow down, be fully present, and reconnect with what matters most: love, commitment, family, and the promises that shape a lifetime together.
CONTACTThere is nothing more beautiful than witnessing two hearts choosing to become one. As a licensed and ordained minister, the words I share during each ceremony come from the heart—filled with faith, sincerity, and purpose. Officiating weddings has become a true calling in my life, allowing me to walk alongside couples and families during one of life's most unforgettable moments.
Music has always been at the heart of my journey. As a professional ukulele artist, I've had the privilege of performing on national and international stages, including hundreds of wedding ceremonies. I believe music is the universal language of love, capable of expressing what words alone often cannot. My hope is that every song creates a moment where you, your family, and your guests reconnect with the love that brought you together in the first place.
With more than 25 years of experience serving couples through weddings and professional performance, I bring a calm presence, deep reverence, and heartfelt joy to every celebration I'm blessed to be part of.
I'm beyond grateful to share life with my wife and soulmate, Raymi. Together we've been blessed with three incredible sons—Santana, Marley, and Jackson. Faith and family are the foundation of my life, reminding me every day what matters most. That same heart is what I bring into every ceremony I have the privilege to officiate.
Â
As an island boy born and raised on Maui, I'm honored to call this extraordinary place home. I'm thrilled you've chosen to celebrate your love here in paradise. My desire is to create a ceremony that flows naturally and allows you to be fully present with the people who matter most, creating memories you'll treasure for a lifetime.
Mahalo nui loa for allowing me to be part of your love story. My prayer is that long after the flowers have faded and the music has ended, you'll remember how it felt to reconnect with what matters most—and the promises that began this beautiful new chapter together.
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."
