Other: Everything went great and everyone was helpful and sweet.

A Paradise Dream Wedding made my dreams come true!  I dreamed of this day (blue skies, sand, waves) ever since I was a little girl and it turned out better than expected.  We are extremely pleased with everyone who was part of our journey.  I picked up the phone to book my wedding date the minute I saw your website.  I get stressed easily but with everyone’s help it was an enjoyable experience…I’m ever so grateful.  I loved the fact that you took care of everything…booking our flights and hotel, marriage license appointment, hair appointment, ordering my bouquet. etc.  This was definitely the way to go because I knew I didn’t need to worry.  You kept me informed of everything.  From start to finish, nothing went wrong.  Having our wedding at Maria Lanakila Catholic Church and then taking pictures in Makena was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made because we got the best of both worlds.  It was only my husband and I, so the church staff helped with the readings and were our witnesses.  They were super sweet.  It was such a joy working with them.  Eric our photographer is extremely talented and was so much fun to work with.  The pictures came out just like you see in the website…beautiful!  What you see is what you get!  I will definitely recommend your company to all of our envious friends and family!  Maui is breathtaking and by far our favorite island!  Thank you for a lifetime of memories which are PRICELESS!

The ‘storm of the decade’ almost ruined our wedding…  Jayanne’s original suggestion of moving from Makena Cove to a Hotel Lobby was absolutely ludicrous.  While I’ll understand there are no guarantees for the weather, it took some convincing that a lobby is not an option.  In the end Jayanne came through for us HUGE and rescheduled the wedding for the next day with no extra charges.  What could have been a disaster was rectified and we thank her for that.  Arien was amazing – what a professional that went above and beyond our expectations.  He was a star.  Kimo also was fantastic – conch / chant were a nice touch.

We had the most beautiful wedding! We fell in love with Ron Winckler last year and knew there couldn't be anyone else to marry us. I found Gordon Nash on the internet and instantly knew he was the photographer for us. His photos were the most breathtaking I had seen. Bonus for us that he brought Ian to assist! We had the most fun! I would recommend that everyone get married at Secret Cove (but then it wouldn't be much of a secret, would it?) and use Gordon and his company. We hope to make Maui a yearly family vacation and have Gordon take family photos too!

Arien, our photographer was great! And the same for our Limo service, make up and catering.

The make up lady was amazing. Her make up technique impeccable, however, I would recommend someone else for hair.

The cake was beautifully presented and very delicious!!! Yummieeee.

The catering service was excellent, but unfortunately, we ordered the wrong food. Great, great catering service.

Overall, I would highly recommend your wedding service to anyone contemplating getting married in Maui.

Diana is a magical person and I am honored that she married Bryan and I.  I am so glad that you have profiles of the ministers that your clients can choose from.   I chose her based on her profile, and she was a perfect minister for us.  She performed a beautiful ceremony and created a very touching atmosphere for our guests and us. 

Eric did a great job!  He was very professional and made us feel very comfortable.  During the ceremony while he was taking pictures, we didn't even notice him (our guests didn't either), which I think is a sign of a quick-moving, great photographer.  He sent us a few pictures for our wedding reception, just so that we could have a few to show off.  He went out of his way to do this for us when he didn't have to, and I appreciate that. 

Della was very sweet and did a great job as our on-site coordinator.  She was very organized and good at talking to Bryan and I, and all of our guests to make sure that everything went smoothly.  Everything did go smoothly and she was to thank for that.  She made everything very personal also, which we appreciate. 

DeeJay did a beautiful job on my hair.  It was well worth the money to have her do my hair and makeup.  I never received an email with the pictures she took of my hair.  She called to tell me that she would email them to me, but I haven't seen them in my email.  She was very professional and she was a good person to be with right before the wedding.  She was nice to talk to and I was very relaxed with her.  Overall great job!

The flowers were beautiful!  They were exactly what I wanted and expected after seeing the photos. 

Overall, absolutely wonderful job!  I will definitely recommend your company to anyone who is planning a wedding.  The destination wedding in Hawaii was a great idea.  My entire family had an incredible time and it was so great to celebrate the coming together of my husband and I for a whole week with all of our family and friends (29 people in all).  A Paradise Dream Wedding made our wedding experience wonderful!  Thank you!

I have to say that planning our wedding thru A Paradise Dream Wedding was such a pleasant experience! From the informative web site, to the photographers, to the coordinator, everything was well beyond our expectations. Our entire experience was so well organized and our friends and families were impressed with how smoothly the ceremony went. Vance our minister was so wonderful and his vows spoke to our hearts. Gordon's photography really is top notch and it shows that he and his staff take pride in the jobs they are doing. I really want to thank Joanne for all of her help in coordinating our travel and helping us choose the perfect hotel and reception sites. It truly was our Paradise Dream Wedding.

I was weary of booking my wedding online but after speaking with Jayanne, my wedding planner & after the wedding event took place, I knew it was the best decision I made. My minister was sooo kind & loving which made our day more special. The hair stylist made me look beautiful & the flowers were gorgeous. The videographer really surprised us because we didn't expect to look that good, which was all his work. And the pictures were breathless! I felt like a little Hollywood starlet! I didn't know we could look thaaaat good! I would do it over again & I HIGHLY recommend Gordon Nash Photography!

First, it goes without saying that our pictures were absolutely amazing and look just like ones on your website. Just as importantly, though, our whole wedding day experience was completely relaxed and enjoyable, thanks to Gordon, Ian, Rev. Vance Rosette, our onsite coordinator Shena, and Jo Thurman. It is definitely a leap of faith to arrange your entire wedding (large or small) over the internet - but A Paradise Dream Wedding exceeded all expectations. We could not have been happier. We would also call out that we really appreciated the pre-wedding coordination we received from Jo and the post-wedding follow-up and assistance we have received from Ian!

We were so fortunate to find A Paradise Dream Wedding. At first of course we were nervous about planning from so far away and doing the majority of planning via e-mail and telephone, but we could not be more grateful for how our day turned out! Everything exceeded our expectations! Jayanne was fabulous from start to finish and her sweet and kind personality kept me calm during the entire planning process. Joanne planned all of our travel including our honeymoon and we had stress free travel thanks to her perfect planning! Diana was so kind and very soothing before and during the ceremony - we loved having her as our minister. Branden - we cannot say enough about our pictures. Our friends all say they look like a magazine! We are so pleased with the album and the many amazing shots you took. We have enjoyed playing our DVD over and over again also - and I cry every time... We could not have asked for our wedding day to be any more perfect or to run any smoother. We sincerely want to say thank you! We were so blessed to have such a great team of people working to make our day "picture perfect"...It was amazing and everyone at A Paradise Dream Wedding is to thank for making this a day we will never forget!

We were married on North Maluaka Beach in Makena. Our wedding was all we could have hoped for and more! The experience with this company was amazing from our first phone call to Maui to finally being able to meet everyone on our wedding day. The planning was so easy! JoAnn our coordinator was so organized and had everything ready to go and perfect. Shelly who did the hair and make-up was fabulous. I cannot recommend her enough. She calmed everyone's nerves that morning and did a beautiful job. Diana, on site, was amazing and kept everything running smoothly and made sure all our needs were met! Kimo our minister was absolutely amazing. We felt as though we had known him for years. He was very professional, yet brought the relaxation and Hawaiian tradition we wanted with a Hawaiian ceremony. Our family and friends are still talking about how awesome and beautiful the ceremony was. I cannot recommend Kimo enough. The leis and bridal bouquet were amazing. Fresh, wonderful, and looked very similar to the pictures. Our Ukulele player was the BEST! He brought tears to our eyes and I cannot imagine the ceremony without him. Carl our videographer made a beautiful DVD for us. We loved watching it when we returned to the mainland. And last but certainly not least...Gordon. This man is absolutely amazing with the camera. We look at our pictures all the time. We just cannot believe it is possible to have such beautiful wedding pictures! Everyone who sees our pictures just stares and says "I can't believe how beautiful and amazing these pictures are!" We highly, highly, highly recommend A Paradise Dream Wedding company. We cannot wait to return one day to renew our vows and we will definitely use them for that and recommend them to everyone we know who is considering a destination wedding. Much Mahalo to everyone who made our day exactly what we dreamed.

Aloha Nui Loa!

Hello Jayanne,
A great thank you to yourself and Sheena, as well as Kimo and Branden for everything last week! The ceremony turned out beautifully, in fact I think it was better than both Aaron and I expected it to be. Especially a great thanks to Shena, Branden and Kimo for their efforts around the rain and their flexibility in moving to Keawakapu Beach. We both really appreciated everything. The flowers were also beautifully done, thank you to Suzann. The ceremony was excellent! It rained and we were able to move to a different location with excellent results. The flowers were beautiful and the photography turned out better than we had hoped for! Nothing to complain about. Fantastic job. We had a great time on the island and are already wondering when we can plan our next trip back (as usual). We wouldn't hesitate to recommend yourself and your crew to anyone!

From the moment we booked our package, Jayanne was the most helpful person you could ever hope to have on your side during this process. Especially since for us, this was a destination wedding, and my finance and I weren't going to be able to make any trips to Maui prior to the wedding. Jayanne was there to answer every call and email I sent her way. Jayanne was able to replicate the bouquet of flowers I had seen in a magazine for my wedding without any problems. Needless to say, when I saw my flowers I fell in love with them. To this day, people comment about my flowers and how beautiful they were.

The entire crew that was present during the wedding was some of the most pleasant and soulful people I have ever come across in my life. Our coordinator was helpful, nice, and respectful of our wishes. Our Minister, Kenneth was amazing. Any couple married by Kenneth will walk away from the ceremony feeling as though the heavenly hand of god has personally blessed their union. Eric, our photographer was cool, laid back, soft spoken and a true professional. He walked us through every step of the morning, directed us perfectly, and took amazing photos which I still shed tears over when I look at them. We love our photos, and so does everyone one else who sees them. The most common comment that we get is that people can really feel how happy my husband and I were the day of our wedding and that they can see the love we share for one another by looking at our photos. A Paradise Dream Wedding was a paradise come true for my husband and I.

Dear Jayanne, We just arrived back in Korea after 5 wonderful days in Maui and 5 days also wonderful in Honolulu. I don't know if you had my phone call on August 7th, but I take the opportunity by this mail once more to thank you for this perfect planning. Everything went smooth; everyone was really nice (from Regina, limo driver, priest, photograph and camera). We had a beautiful sunset... It made it perfect day for Heesuk and myself. I will not hesitate to advertise your company to anyone who is planning to get married in Hawaii. Your company makes it so hassle free....Please thank on our behalf everyone in your team who participated in the organization of our wedding.

We were very pleased with all aspects of the wedding. Everything was very easy and beautifully done. Makena Cove was the perfect place for a small wedding, beautiful and secluded. We couldn't be happier with the pictures especially after all the other planners we looked at would take 24 to 36 pictures with our camera.

Aloha Jayanne,

Brian and I received our picture proofs over the weekend and were absolutely blown away!!!  Arien got some fantastic shots.  Our friends all think the background is fake.  The pictures really are amazing - we could not be happier.  Of course, now we're presented with a problem......how to choose just 50 for our album!!!!!!  I'm sure you get this all the time, but can you give me a price breakdown for adding additional prints to our album?  We've started to spread the word that instead of wedding gifts, we need money to buy more pictures! Who really uses their fine china anyway? ;-)

Wow!  I just have to tell you again how happy we are with how our wedding turned out.  I've heard so many of my married friends say "if I had it to do all over again, we'd elope" or "If I could do my wedding over again, I'd change this" or "I'd wouldn't do that".  Not me.  There is not one thing I would change about my wedding!  In fact, it was even better than I could have imagined and the pictures were just the icing on the cake.  Please, please thank Arien for us - his pictures brought us to tears and we can't stop looking at them.  He truly is talented!

Aloha Jayanne,

Well, it's happened...we had to come home.  I knew it would happen but yet I still wasn't prepared for how sad I would be when we had to say good-bye to beautiful Hawaii.  I wanted to send you a quick email to tell you thank you for all your work in putting everything together for us.  The wedding could not have been more perfect.  Even with a helicopter passing over head, a party boat cruising by, and neighbors pounding metal pipes during the ceremony, I head nothing but the minister, the waves, and Brian's voice saying his vows.  I am a little sad that I didn't write down all the particular group shots I wanted the photographer to capture.  I didn't realize how zoned out I would be after it was all over so I missed getting some key shots with just my family.  That was totally my fault but please let my mistake be a warning for future brides - if they want specific shots WRITE THEM DOWN!  You can't be trusted to remember anything the day of the wedding!

Other than upsetting my sister because I forgot to get a picture of just me and her, everything could not have been more perfect.  Everyone went above and beyond what I expected to make our wedding perfect. The minister was fabulous!!  He put everyone at ease, set the tone for the wedding, and made us both totally relaxed.  EVERYONE in our party complimented us on the ceremony and my mother actually exclaimed that our ceremony was the best wedding ceremony she has ever witnessed!  The flowers were amazing....even more beautiful than I could have imagined.  Shena is an absolute sweetheart!!  She relaxed me from the very minute I met her.  She made me feel like everything was under control and nothing would dare go wrong on my wedding day.  And last but not least, the guitarist did a wonderful job!  I was doing a good job of holding back the tears until he started singing.  His voice is so beautiful and he sang our song with so much meaning, I almost lost it.  Just incredible!!  He left before I had a chance to thank him so please convey my deepest thanks to him.  His singing made our beautiful wedding absolutely perfect.

Once again, I want to thank you for your patience, understanding, and hard work in putting everything together for me.  I still can't believe it all went so smoothly and can't believe it is all over.  Now I am anxiously awaiting the pictures and video so I can relive the day over and over again.

Everyone told us it would be bad luck for us to get married on "Friday the 13th"...that was one day that we will forever be grateful. We couldn't have even dreamed of a more perfect wedding. The wedding party consisted of 13 of us, and not a single one felt left out or rushed. It was picture perfect and completely stress free. All we needed to worry about was what time we needed to arrive. Arien was incredible, sweet, patient, and the pictures are even more amazing. Thanks to him, we will always have the most perfect memories of our wedding day. The entire day, just fell into place with ease, thanks to Jayanne.

Our wedding on July 3, 2007 at the Olowalu Plantation House was everything we dreamed about and much more!!!! The site was magical! It was a perfect spot for a Maui wedding, especially if you are having a larger guest list and want a private location right on the water. Reverend Ken was AMAZING...he really made it a special ceremony! Della made the site even more magical with the flowers and decor. It was gorgeous at night with all of the lighting! The catering was delicious....our guests really enjoyed the luau-style cuisine! Stacy from the bar service was great...she helped us out in saving money and provided great service to our guests! The drinks were a hit! Jo, Della, and Joanne were our on-site coordinators because we had such a large guest list. They did a great job of making everything flow seamlessly that evening. We had a few different coordinators during the whole process, and Jo did a great job at coordinating all the last-minute details via email before the actual day. DJ did my hair and make-up that day at my hotel and she was absolutely fantastic!!!! I received so many compliments on my hair and make-up from family and friends. She knew exactly what I wanted! Finally, Eric was our photographer and he was so patient and calming. Our pictures turned out amazing! Overall, we had a positive experience working with A Paradise Dream Wedding and would recommend them to anyone looking to get married in Maui. The vendors they recommended were outstanding!!!!
