1. Reverend Alalani Hill

Estimated Price Range: While I couldn’t locate exact pricing for Reverend Alalani online, many Maui officiants begin around US$200–$400 for simple ceremonies. For example, one Maui officiant lists $250 for an elopement/vow renewal package. Pastor Ben

What Makes Her Unique: She offers deeply spiritual Hawaiian-rooted ceremonies with oli (Hawaiian chant) and traditional blessings. Her presence is described as gentle, soulful and culturally grounded.

Recommendations & Tips:

Ask specifically whether the chant / oli is included and whether there is an extra cost.
If you want a Hawaiian-language element, clarify how much is in Hawaiian vs. English.
Because her style is spiritual, if you also want a lighthearted or humorous tone, mention this up-front so she can tailor the ceremony accordingly.
Confirm whether travel (to your beach location) is included or if there’s a surcharge.

2. Reverend Kimo Kirkman

Estimated Price Range: According to listings of Maui officiants, simple ceremonies may start around $100 (though likely minimal) and full packages ramp up much higher. theknot.com +1 Realistically expect ~$300-$600 for decent service.

What Makes Him Unique: His unique strength is blending Hawaiian tradition with modern vow language. He has a warm, relaxed “island style” energy which is great if you want authenticity without being overly formal.

Recommendations & Tips:

If you like the idea of mixing Hawaiian and modern vows, request sample scripts from him.
Decide early whether you want a strictly Hawaiian format (chant, lei-exchange, pu blowing) or a mix; Kimo can probably accommodate both.
Schedule a short call or Zoom with him to feel his tone and confirm you vibe with his personality—important for a memorable ceremony.

3. Rev. Tino Rosete

Estimated Price Range: Again, while we don’t have Tino’s exact quote, many Maui officiants list base fees in the $200-$400 range, then additional travel or styling fees. Pastor Ben+1

What Makes Him Unique: He is noted for his “deeply cultural + joyful” vibe — combining reverence for Hawaiian traditions with joyful, uplifting ceremony energy. Great for couples who want both meaning and celebration.

Recommendations & Tips:

If you want joyful but culturally rooted, mention that you want both reverence and fun.
Ask if he includes any special touches (like conch shell blowing, lei exchange, sand ritual) — such elements often cost extra.
Ensure that the officiant is comfortable with your location (beach, cliffside, resort) and knows local logistics (permits if needed).

4. Pia Aluli

Estimated Price Range: Based on lash-up packages etc., mid-to-high tier could be $400-$1000+ for officiant + extras (music, live performance). For example a Maui officiant + full service photo package is $900–$1000. Pastor Ben

What Makes Him Unique: He offers not just officiating but the added value of live Hawaiian music / ukulele accompaniment. His warm storytelling and musical element make the ceremony more immersive.

Recommendations & Tips:

If you want live music, clarify the cost and whether his musical performance is included or an add-on.
Ask about his availability for the time slot you want (sunset, golden hour) since musicians/officiants with live accompaniment tend to fill faster.
Clarify whether the music will be live only during the ceremony or if there are rehearsal adds.

5. Maui Aloha Weddings (Team)

Estimated Price Range: They list multiple packages: e.g., Pikake $495, Awapuhi $725, Kalaunu $1,495, Kiele $1,995. Maui Aloha Weddings

What Makes Them Unique: They provide one-stop packages (officiant + permit + leis + sometimes photography/video) and have flexibility across styles (LGBTQ friendly, adventure weddings).

Recommendations & Tips:

Choose a package that matches your budget and desired inclusions (Do you want just officiant? Or photography + video too?).
Ensure you read the fine print: which services are included vs. optional upgrades.
Because this is a packaged team, ask how many/ministers they allocate per day and how long your time slot will be (some packages include 45 minutes of photography or 1.5 hours).
If you’re doing an “adventure” location (waterfall hike, boat, etc.), check whether extra permit/travel fees apply.

6. Non-Denominational Ministers (e.g., multiple options on Maui)

Estimated Price Range: Some listings show base fees from $225 for a simple officiant only package. Sweet and Simple Maui Weddings+1

What Makes Them Unique: They're highly flexible, able to personalize your ceremony, incorporate blended-family rituals, same-sex couples, non-religious frameworks, and creative touches like sand ceremony, vow exchange, etc.

Recommendations & Tips:

Decide early how much personalization you want: “Please include a lei exchange, sand ceremony, unity candle” etc.
If you want less formality and more personal story-telling, choose this route.
Check whether travel fee / beach permit / insurance are included in the base price or extra.
Ask whether they will handle submission of your marriage paperwork to the state of Hawaiʻi — sometimes that’s included, sometimes there’s a surcharge.

📝 General Tips for All Officiants on Maui

Book early: Especially for sunset times, beach locations, or popular officiants — Maui weddings fill up quickly.
Location permits: If you’re getting married on the beach (especially state or county beaches), you may need a permit and sometimes insurance. Many officiants either handle this or make recommendations. For example, Maui Aloha Weddings notes permit + insurance included in their packages. Maui Aloha Weddings
Travel fees: If your ceremony is at a remote location (mountain, waterfall, boat), expect additional travel/time fees.
Ceremony script & language: Ask for a copy of the ceremony script in advance, especially if there are Hawaiian language elements you want to understand.
Marriage License: Make sure the officiant will file the signed license with the state of Hawaiʻi. Clarify who handles that, and whether the officiant’s name will be listed correctly.
Time & extras: Some packages include only 10-12 minutes of ceremony time (e.g., Rev Julienne lists her “Sweet & Simple” at ~10-12 minutes). Rev Julienne If you want longer, readings, rituals, then the ceremony time will likely increase cost.
Weather/Plan B: Since you’re in Maui, weather (wind, rain) can affect outdoor ceremonies. Make sure the officiant is flexible for sudden changes and that you have an alternative spot or backup.
Vibe & personality fit: The officiant sets the mood — meet (via video or phone) to confirm you feel comfortable with their tone.
Inclusive & accessible: If you or your partner have special needs (mobility, hearing-impaired guests), ask how they’ll accommodate.
Budget clarity: Always get a written quote, list of what is included, payment schedule (deposit, final payment), cancellation/rescheduling policies.
