Wai Phungpradet

Wai truly believes she has been called to work as a wedding celebrant. This role has taken her on a journey of self-discovery, helping her grow into trusting herself, her heart, and her voice. As a “transitional soul,” she aligns her purpose with significant moments in time. Standing with her couples, she becomes a representative of their love, honing her energy to be a guiding voice for them. She brings forth their presence and love for one another, grounding these memories forever on Maui. Her goal during ceremonies is to highlight the unique love of each couple, focusing on their present energies and intentions.

She refers to Maui as “MamaMaui” because it has been her constant source of inspiration. MamaMaui calls to her soul, urging her to be true and honest, always offering trust and beauty. The purity and light she receives from MamaMaui are gifts she deeply cherishes. Carrying this light in her heart, she channels MamaMaui’s essence into the words she speaks during ceremonies. Wai is honored to work as a celebrant, surrounded by MamaMaui’s love and blessings, and she carries this love and these blessings in her heart.
