Thank you so much for your photography services! Our wedding pictures were absolutely breathtaking, and postcard-perfect. In fact, all of our friends and family raved about the colors, artistry and quality of each picture. They truly captured the beauty and essence of Maui, as well as the spirit of the wedding ceremony. Please pass along my compliments to Eric Dahl!

| You and your team were absolutely terrific! We can't thank you enough. Everybody at Paradise Dream Wedding was extraordinarily helpful and professional. From the pre-wedding planning to the constant communication once we landed on the island through the magnificent ceremony with Pia and photography session with Gordon as well as videography with Cesar, well, we just can't thank you enough. We are both so grateful! Also, thanks for the super fast turnaround on the wedding pictures and album as well as the thrilling wedding video. |

| I'm so glad I found you guys. We knew that we wanted our wedding pictures to have a tropical look. We were looking online at different locations, that's when I found your website. I fell in love with the look of Makena Cove right off the bat, and Gordon's photography was the cherry on top. Not to mention that your website was by far the best I had been to. I felt great about having you organize our wedding. Not once did I worry or stress about anything. That made it much more fun and enjoyable for the both of us. I just knew everything was taken care of and that it would all be perfect...and it was. Thank you for the wonderful experience and memories. And thank you, Gordon, for the beautiful pictures. I had one of our sunset pictures made into a huge canvas. I will recommend you and only you to anyone traveling to Maui for a wedding. |

| I was extremely nervous about getting married in Maui since I didn’t know anyone out there. I bought a book called "How to plan a Hawaii Wedding" and your company was mentioned in the book. I called a couple of places but your company stood out to me the most. Once I started working with your company I knew I had made the right choice. The attention to detail and personal service is what won me over. I felt like a close friend was helping me plan our wedding. Michelle made sure that all my expectations became a reality on my special day. I will forever be grateful to the great service you provided and the wonderful memories that will be with me for a lifetime. |

My mom and dad and I still talk about how wonderful my wedding was in Maui. How many plus signs can I add to the number 10? I would need to add too many for this testimonial to hold. But, I would rate all categories as a 10+++.I highly recommend A Paradise Dream Wedding for anyone getting married in Maui. They have a fantastic company with first class service and they work with the best vendors. Everything was absolutely beautiful. Like I already said, there is no other place in this world I would have rather have gotten married. Since Kara left the company approximately 1 month before my wedding, I was able to work with two excellent wedding coordinators (Kara and Diana). Both of them are so detailed oriented and they went out of their way to help my parents and me. Throughout the whole year of planning, I had a great experience with my wedding coordinators. I LOVE my wedding pictures. They are absolutely beautiful. Many people have said that they look like they come from a magazine. My hair and make-up stylist, Shelly Hoffman did a fantastic job on my hair and make-up. She even touched up my mom's eye make-up for her. My bouquet was GORGEOUS. I could not have asked for a prettier bouquet. My cake was beautiful as well. Tino did a great job with my ceremony, and Wilmont is a very good guitar singer. Much to my surprise, I have watched my video more than 1 time. I love how the videographer choreographed my picture sessions to music. It is fun to watch and I am very glad that we bought it. The weather was perfect and so was my wedding. Everyday, I think about how beautiful my wedding day was and how there is no other place on this earth I would have rather had my wedding. A Paradise Dream Wedding is a fantastic company with first class service. They even went out of their way to help me after my wedding day by transferring my pictures to a CD since I was unable to view the DVD at home. I highly recommend this company for anyone getting married in Maui.

| We had a very pleasant and wonderful experience through Paradise Dream Weddings. The only fault I can find was when the wedding coordinators were switched midway through our planning. This resulted in a mix up with our appointment with the Marriage License people and finding another appointment at such short notice got me a little frazzled. Other than that everything was perfect and exactly what we wanted. |

| It was the most wonderful experience! Having our wedding in Maui was so stress free. We spent an entire week exploring the amazing restaurants, beaches, and wildlife of Maui. The finale to our unforgettable week was our sunset Makena Cove beach wedding. Kimo was so warm and friendly. He made us feel as though we were old family friends. And our photographer Eric was fantastic. Our pictures were amazing. Our family and friends were overwhelmed by the beauty of the Cove and how wonderful we looked in our pictures. Eric has a gift for capturing people at their best. Eric also spotted a beautiful sea turtle for us as we were walking along the beach. I would recommend Paradise Dream Weddings to everyone! I promise you will not be disappointed by the quality and great service you will receive from A Paradise Dream Wedding. |

| Planning a destination wedding is difficult and, like every bride, I worried about every little detail, but A Paradise Dream Wedding made the planning process easier and less stressful. Our wedding coordinator, Kara, kept us well informed about our plans and was very easy to get in touch with for any questions we had. She and the rest of the staff are very professional, efficient, and pleasant to work with. As for Gordon and his crew, they are simply the best in the business. Gordon captured every moment of our wedding and went above and beyond to ensure each picture was perfect. And as for Pastor Kimo, his dedication and passionate Hawaiian traditional ways made our wedding much more memorable. Thank you A Paradise Dream Wedding for everything you have done for us and for making our wedding a dream come true!!! |

| We knew we had found the place for our wedding when we saw Eric's online gallery. The Makena Cove is a natural wonder of beauty, and we couldn't think of a better place. Kimo was the best minister we have ever witnessed perform a ceremony - personable, bright, sincere and eloquent. Michelle was also excellent in her communication with us, and the flowers we ordered were exactly what we wanted as well. It was so wonderful to have it all taken care of before we left - what fun to get married stress free!! We've been showing everyone our photo album and our friends who got married the traditional way back home told us they wished they had done it the way we did! Our memories of Maui and our wedding are awesome - Kimo said we have to come back for our anniversary every year and I hope we can do so!! Mahalo! |

Rev. Kimo helped us pull off a surprise for the groom's mother (thanks to a last minute tip from the planner) and the photographer caught her triple-take. |

He has such an incredible charm and is so talented at what he does. Our pictures were incredible!! We are so glad that we moved our wedding to the next day so that we could have Kimo marry us. He was great! We felt so at ease, he was not only kind but also brought some humor into the ceremony making us feel so at home considering that our family and friends were not there to share the day. Thank you for sending this survey. I have been wanting to send a thank you for a while now. Please pass along our thanks to everyone who made our wedding a dream come true. |
