2008 (3) Testimonials

Aloha Jayanne,   Boy were we both thinking at the same time.  I actually was driving home from work (yes, I'm back at work sadly), changed my clothes and sat down to write to you.   I wanted to thank you for everything.  Jayanne, our wedding was absolutely perfect.  I cannot find a single thing to complain about.  Other than the fact that I didn't get to hear much of the music, but that's because I was too busy concentrating on everything else.  However, I hear Cambria played beautifully.   Like I said, every single thing went so very smoothly and I can't believe how not one thing mis-happed!  It was amazing!!  You and your crew truly did a beautiful job.    We will definitely be back in Maui.  David's ready to move there.  I said "slow down!"  LOL. The list of things we did and the places we went before and after the wedding are huge.  From the volcano at sunrise, to the lava fields, to snorkeling, to Hana, to the fabulous restaurants, and much much more.  You definitely live in a glorious place!!   Between my camera, both of Jason and Megan's and our friends, we have so many pictures to sort through..........and I can't wait to see Arien's photos!!!!  In the meantime, I have found a few of the ceremony that I wanted to share with you. I hope they are not too large for you to open and view.   Again, thank you so very much.  And could you please tell Chris and Arien that both David and I thought they did fantastic onsite!!!!    Did I say thank you?    Aloha and hopefully we will talk with you again!!!

What can I say? I searched for several weeks before deciding on APDW. The pictures were so beautiful and surreal and after talking to Joanne, we were ready to book. Everything turned out much better than we could have ever imagined!

As for each category:

Coordinator: Jayanne is THE BEST! She's so sweet and she did an excellent job coordinating everything. I enjoyed our email correspondence and we were very happy to finally meet her after our wedding! :-)

Minister: Kimo was awesome. He kept both of us calm and performed a beautiful ceremony.

Photographer: Arien is great!! He got all of the shots we wanted and helped us take the best photos.

Videographer: Brian was excellent. He and Arien worked together to make sure all of our best moments were captured. There was a typo with our wedding date on the video, but he promptly sent us another video and re-posted it on the website.

Flowers: The flowers came out just like I had expected. They were absolutely beautiful!!

Musician: The musicians did a wonderful job at our ceremony. The music was beautiful and the guests enjoyed it.

Limo: The only reason we gave this category a 9 is because we were supposed to have the Rolls Royce, which needed maintenance. Jayanne suggested some alternatives and we still ended up happy with the Lincoln limo we had.

Hair & Makeup: I only had my makeup done. Regina was GREAT! She did such a good job on my makeup. I received many compliments.

Location: We loved the church we were married in. We even got to meet the caretaker, Edith, who was very sweet. The beach across the street made for excellent shots and the beach we drove to was even better!

On-Site Coordinator: Chris did a wonderful job. He kept me calm in the moments right before the ceremony. He also kept things moving in a timely manner. He was much appreciated!

Sales Person: Joanne was super helpful. When I first called I was a little leery of trying to plan something so huge across thousands of miles, but she assured me that things would be fine and gave me very good suggestions. She immediately made me feel at ease and 
was the reason I booked shortly after speaking with her. Everyone and everything else was the icing on the cake!

All in all you cannot go wrong planning a wedding with APDW. Our wedding day was the most beautiful, unforgettable, heartwarming, and special day we have had thus far in our relationship together. I would do it all again in a heartbeat...I think we may be planning it all over again in 30 years with a vow renewal!

Your process is very efficient and you leave couples with nothing to worry about!

I cannot imagine our wedding being any different. It was truly perfect. We even had some dolphins swim by and a large turtle wash up in one of the waves. Chris was our on- site coordinator and was AWESOME! I didn't realize that he had to go pick up the cake and butterflies because they didn't show up. I wouldn't ever had known if one of our guests hadn't said something after it was all over with. I am not really not a person that would turn into a bridezilla, so I wouldn't have gotten worked up about it. All I wanted to do as a bride is show up, and that's exactly how it happened. Reverend Vance was AWESOME! Arien was AWESOME! Carl was AWESOME! I am so blessed that I stumbled upon your website, picked the Photographer and Minister that I did, and had the wedding that we did. I cannot tell you anything that you could've done to make things any more perfect. Thank you so much for truly making it the best day of our lives. Our family is still commenting on how they would love to do it all over again. Perhaps I see a renewal of vows in our future. Again, thank you so much for everything! I would definitely recommend your company to every couple that is looking to get married in 
Hawaii!

We were extremely pleased and very shocked on how smooth everything went. On our wedding day we were impressed with the team effort from A Paradise Dream Wedding and our outside vendors. We both felt very relaxed and not stressed as a wedding day should be. Gordon Nash and his staff provided such a personal touch, we felt like we had our family with us. We Chose A Paradise Dream Wedding for our coordinators because of the fantastic photography work that we saw on their website. We can't say enough about our beautiful wedding photos that Gordon Nash took and we have shared them with hundreds of people. The videographer, Carl of A Paradise Dream Wedding also did a fantastic job. You won't be disappointed if you use him.

If you are dreaming about a destination wedding in Hawaii, we would highly recommend A Paradise Dream Wedding.

Arien was great in capturing the moment!! We had a wonderful ceremony. I looked fabulous despite my later worries of nagging details on hair, make-up and last minute dressing!! The other couple and Gordon Nash were very conscientious and gracious with photo spots while both weddings occupied the beach.

Our wedding will forever be one of the most amazing and special memories of our life. After years of talking about what we wanted our wedding to be like, we were pleasantly surprised to have EVERY aspect of our day surpass our expectations. Our ceremony took place at sunset on 9/8/2008 at Kapalua Bay Beach. We had not seen the location until the day before the wedding, and were a little concerned that the public beach would interfere with our intimate gathering. It did not, at all. Our on-site coordinator (Della) and photographer (Eric), arrived early to reserve a spot on the beach. We had 25 people and 
PLENTY of room to move around. The beach was more beautiful than we'd imagined and both agreed we would choose the same location over again if we could. Kimo was our minister and was fabulous. He had everyone laughing at numerous times during the ceremony, which is exactly what we wanted for our guests. Our photographer was AMAZING. So laid back and yet so professional. Everyone who has seen our photos says they are the most beautiful pictures they have ever seen. Jayanne, our coordinator, was so easy to talk to and did such a great job keeping us in the loop with everything that was going on. THANK YOU Jayanne, you made our wedding unforgettable. Everyone at A Paradise Dream Wedding did. We have recommended APDW to numerous couples we know who are considering a destination wedding, and cannot wait to celebrate our first anniversary back on the BEAUTIFUL island of Maui.

Coordinator: 10, Jayanne was beyond excellent to work with--calming, knowledgeable, gave sound advice, helpful, prompt, we loved her.

Minister: 10, Dennis De Rego was so nice and gave us really good advice on our day. 

Photographer: 10, Arien somehow got many great pictures of us (we were so nervous and awkward)!!! We were amazed and so were all of our family and friends.

Videographer: 10, Brian was really nice also and did an outstanding job of recording our wedding.

Flowers: 9

Cake & Toast: 10, I was surprised at how good the cake was. I don't even like most cake and I had some later that evening too:)
Hair & Makeup: 10, We were amazed at the level of service from Jean, the woman who did my hair and makeup. I was worried about having someone I'd never met do this for me. My husband and I both agree, she made the entire day better with her personality and impressive skills :).

My husband Andy and I were both blown away by the level of service shown by every person we worked with. We chose this company because of how impressive the photography looked to us. I did a lot of research before deciding to go with Gordon Nash Photography, being from Seattle and having to do the planning from here, and I am so happy with my choice! I have a few friends who are professional photographers and they looked at our pictures over and over without being able to pick a favorite. Everyone who has seen them has commented on the level of style and how well our personalities were captured on film. Our expectations were met and surpassed not only by Gordon Nash's staff, but also by the vendors this company chooses to affiliate with. We could not be happier with our experience.

We have and will continue to recommend you to everyone we talk to about weddings. We wanted a relaxing, beautiful, heartfelt ceremony and that is exactly what we got thanks to Gordon Nash Photography. We will forever be thankful!!!!!

First letter after receiving their photos...

We just received our pictures back and they are beyond anything we imagined or expected!!!! Our whole experience has been amazing, from coordinating with Jayanne over emails to being photographed by Arien and having our DVD shot by Brian, we had an ideal experience with A Paradise Dream Weddings. All you have to do is look at their pictures and you can see the high standards this company's employees and affiliates hold themselves to. Every person that has seen our photos has commented on how flawless and well-composed they are. "Like a picture in a magazine," is what I keep hearing. I know that wasn't because of my awkward husband and I--we were so nervous! It is a testament to Arien and his talent. We are so happy with the results!!! It is amazing that he even got one good shot of us, but we now have tons of pictures we really like. He captured the moments of the day perfectly. Jean, the woman who did my hair and makeup was also amazing! I wasn't sure who I was going to get but trusted Jayanne my coordinator to set up the appointment. Jean did my hair the exact way I wanted it but even better! She gave me really good advice about how everything would turn out in the photos and how the weather would affect my hair. And she was so nice! She really added to the day, my husband agrees. Overall I would, and do, recommend this company to anyone looking for a "Dream Wedding" in Hawaii. I chose them because of the quality of their photography, but I went away happy with so much more. Every part of our experience exceeded our expectations. Our coordinator Jayanne got back to us right away, worked with us through all the details, and made us both very confident in the process before we even made it to Hawaii. She seems to really care about and enjoy her work, and that made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable for us. There is no way we can say thank you enough!!!! We will send everyone getting married in Hawaii your way, and we will definitely be back for anniversaries! Thank you! And God bless:)

It is a true testament that everything was outstanding when my husband and I both agree that if we could do it over again, we wouldn't change a single thing.

I think every bride to be has anxiety when they first start thinking about a destination wedding because of the fact that you can't whip around the corner to check out the flowers, see the location, have a hair and makeup consultation etc. Well, all the stress was lifted after the first contact with our coordinator. A few simple questions and you're on your way! The website is also easy to navigate and also not cheesy at all like many destination wedding websites out there. You can tailor any package to your liking so you aren't charged for extras if you don't want them.

Our coordinator had some very helpful tips- who her favourite vendors were, some cost friendly alternatives to certain things etc. It is wonderful to know that she is making sure everyone shows up and does what they are supposed to do!! She had a wonderful sense of humor too and always responded promptly to my questions.

Gordon Nash is outstanding- but if you have looked at his work you will already know that. I have had so many people remark that my wedding photos are the nicest they have ever seen! I am also very thankful that we opted to have the wedding dvd done- if you are wondering if it's worth it- it is. We had a reception back home so it was such a treat to be able to include those that weren't there in our ceremony.

We were married at Poolenalena beach which was gorgeous- don't need to go overboard on decorations as the setting is already stunning! It was also so special to be able to get some sunset photos. If you're worried about the public being around- don't be. In fact in a couple of our pictures we have 2 little girls in the background watching us- my husband thinks it's a sign we will have daughters! Haha.

We were married by Rev. Vance who gave us the gift of a warm, beautiful ceremony with Hawaiian touches! A man with lovely energy.

Thank you to everyone that was involved- you not only met my expectations- but exceeded them!

If anyone is on the fence about this company, I'd say go for it- you will be so happy you did.

My experience with A Paradise Dream Wedding was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I met my coordinator Jo I knew I had found a great company to plan my Maui wedding through! I was a little nervous to plan my wedding over the phone and by email but Jo put my mind at ease. She helped me with every detail. My husband and I were so blessed to have such a wonderful coordinator to plan our special day! Thank you so much Jo! Rev. Kenneth Kalei Ho'opai brought so much joy and happiness to our wedding day. He had such a warm and caring spirit. He was very kind and down to earth. The ceremony was perfect. He had such a warm presence which put my husband and I at such ease. Thank you so much Rev. Kenneth. You are truly a man of God! Gordon Nash was AMAZING! Our wedding pictures turned out absolutely beautiful! He made my husband and I feel very comfortable and at ease. I was so relaxed! My husband and I were able to have fun and play on the beach while he photographed every special moment! We're so thankful that we found such a skilled and talented photographer! Thank you so much Gordon! The day of our wedding was absolutely perfect! It was a dream day for me and my husband! The cake was delicious and the flowers were gorgeous! Our on site coordinator Diana was so sweet and very helpful. When I arrived to the wedding site she greeted me with such a warm smile and made me feel relaxed and happy! She was genuinely happy for me and excited that it was my wedding day! That meant so much to me! Thank you so much Diana! We had an amazing wedding and we thank A Paradise Dream Wedding for making our special day an absolute dream!

I don't know if you have enough space for all of the accolades we'd like to give, but we'll give it a shot. I work as a corporate event planner in Scottsdale, so it was difficult to put such an important event to us in the hands of strangers, but all of my worries were erased as soon as we started working with Joanne. Everybody who we dealt with at APDW was a true professional & so easygoing. Jo Thurman was our main contact until our wedding day & she could not have been more accommodating. Our on-site contact, Della who also made my unbelievable bouquet, was a dream to deal with on site. Our videographer, Dan, kept us laughing & we cannot say enough about our photographers, Eric & Arien. Both were true professionals & captured the most amazing photographs of our wedding day! We had a morning wedding & scheduled both Eric & Arien to attand our luau "reception" in order to capture sunset & candid photographs of that part of the day. We highly recommend splitting the time as we have the best of both types of photographs! We chose A Paradise Dream Wedding because of the pictures we saw on the website & boy, was it worth it! We will sing your praises from the top of Camelback Mountain here in Arizona.

You made our wedding day perfect. There is not 1 thing we would have changed! THANK YOU!!!!

The entire experience was flawless. Jo, our coordinator was amazing and so easy to work with. She kept us organized and in the loop. Our on site coordinator was ready to show our party of 28 to their place on the Keawakapu beach, where a guitarist played for them. She recomended I got there 20 minutes later, and when my father and I arrived, she had my beautiful boquet ready and showed me the way to the ceremony. She explained the procedure as we went along. She made it all seamless. We were never stressed our or worried about our group. I never even noticed GOrdon and his assistant taking our pictures during the ceremony, we were too busy listening to Kimo our minister. Kimo was amazing with his words, and no rehearsal was necessary. He spoke loud enough for the entire group to hear, he even did a chant and a Hawaiian prayer for us. It felt very private and special, even if we weren't alone on the beach. We were the only wedding party I saw the entire week we were in Keihi. I had nightmares that I walked onto the beach and had to look around for the right Groom and wedding party! NOT the case at all. Just a bit of wedding jitters I suppose! We chose to all go to lunch afterwards for a casual reception, and not do cake or a toast on the beach. When our crowd went to the restaurant, Gordon kept us busy with pictures for another hour and a half. He knew what poses look great on the beach and explained everything step by step. I was worried since he is such a big name photographer he would be hard to work with or too bossy. He is such a humble man who has traveled the world. He finds beauty in everything and knows how to capture it in a picture. Our time with him went very quickly and we could hardly wait 3 weeks to see the pictures! We were so happy with them. They were worth the wait! I have already recommended 2 of my family friends to use A Paradise Dream Wedding and Gordon Nash. One was in Maui 2 weeks ago and just got her pictures (Chrissy Schreier and new Husband Brian). The other Kirsten Killingstad is working on the date, but will be using the same group we loved! Thanks for everything! Our wedding is something our friends and family are still talking about and the memories and pictures of Maui will last FOREVER!!!

Eric Dahl was a pleasure to work with. He was confident in his work and open to suggestions. Getting the most out of the personality of his subjects and shooting with their personal goals in mind is critical. He had a great sense of composition and it was great to have him present on our special day. Our wedding was perfect. I researched a lot of photographers and different ways of having our wedding done. Everything pointed to Paradise Dream Weddings being the best.

Gordon Nash was wonderful! I couldn't have imagined that the pictures would turn out as great as they did. They look like they're right out of a magazine! He made us feel so comfortable the entire time and we had so much fun. He took his time and made sure I got every single picture I wanted to take. He even ran over on time, but didn't seem rushed to leave at all. When we received our pictures we were happy to see that he took a lot more than I thought we were supposed to be getting and even took the time to edit a few extra pictures. I will DEFINITELY recommend him to anyone I know who is planning on getting married in Maui. Thank you Gordon for making our day as wonderful as it was!

Travel Agent (Joanne): 11 of 10, Joanne was great, flight and hotel were great.  I would recommend you switch from Dollar car rental though.  Experience with them was disappointing and difficult.
Other: Jo put me in contact with Rebekah from Expedia who helped us with all our other Island things we did.  She was great and deserves a pat on the back also.

A Paradise Dream Wedding gave my wife and I a truly memorable and beautiful experience for our vow renewal ceremony.  It was second to none.  The pleasant staff helped us through all of our requests and everything was set up and came off smoothly and without a hitch.  Our photographer, Eric Dahl, was a wonderful person and very creative and talented.  His photography was amazing and brought tears to my wife's eyes when she viewed them.  She looks back at them almost every day since.  We have shared the photos with our friends and family and recommended Maui Weddings to everyone we have spoken with.  We highly recommend them to you! 

The whole experience was wonderful.  My wife Yoly is already asking when we can do it again, and she has taken great pleasure in showing the photos to many many people (many of which may become future customers of yours.

We have only the best things to say about our experience with the services at Paradise Dream Wedding! Not only was the day amazing but I have never dealt with better people. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and just made the whole experience amazing! Did I mention amazing! Can't think of a better word! Everyone from the planners to the minister, photographer and everyone else. It was a truly authentic wedding and I wouldn't change a thing. On top of that the price was more than reasonable! Thank you so much!!

Arien and Chris were fantastic the day of the wedding. Of course the only day it rained during our stay was the day of the wedding. When we arrived at Fleming Beach, it was drizzly and cloudy. I asked if we could change locations to the private beach at the condos we were staying at and they were more than happy to accommodate my request. Arien took incredible photos!!! My flowers were gorgeous to my surprise. I had not requested anything specific just tropical in reds and oranges and they were absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend Regina Campisi for hair and makeup. She was wonderful to talk to and did an incredible job!
