Our wedding day was a dream come true thanks to A Paradise Dream. Jayanne was so helpful in helping us find the best location for our big day. Details were important to me and on the day of I was simply blown away at how beautifully everything came together. Additionally, Arien did an amazing job on the photos. They are stunning!I recommend anyone looking to get married in Maui to use your services, it couldn't have been more perfect! |

Kimo was FANTASTIC! I couldn't say enough about how wonderful he was! He made the day special and personal for us. We were very nervous to have to choose someone we hadn't met but Kimo was a perfect fit! Our photographer, Brandon S., was FANTASTIC! He wasn't intrusive and we didn't even notice him taking photos during the ceremony. He got some great shots! We've had so many compliments on our photos. We even used one of our photos for our thank you |

My husband and I always dreamed of getting married on the beach at sunset. For our 10th anniversary, I surpised him with the trip to Maui and the vow renewal. I was apprehensive about leaving something so important in our lives to someone else, but I am so grateful that I am a praying woman. I prayed that God would bless us with a beautiful day, caring and professional individuals that understood the importance of a wedding moment, and an experience that would change our lives forever. What I received was far beyond anything I could have ever imagined! Months later I am still looking at our pictures and am overwhelmed with joy at the care that was taken to preserve those moments for us in film. I could never thank everyone enough for everything that was done on our special day and we'll be back for year 20! |

We had the most wonderful and beautiful wedding in Maui, and we can thank Gordon Nash for that! Our wedding day was short, but our amazing photos will last a lifetime! South Maluaka was a perfect location! By the time I (the bride) showed up, everything was in place and went sooo smoothly! We treasure every memory of our special day and wouldn't have changed a single thing! I would recommend a Paradise Dream Wedding to anyone who prefers a romantic, intimate, beautiful wedding centered around the bride and groom and their love, with no resemblance of the traditional stressed-filled and hectic weddings.Our photo shoot with Gordon, Jon, and videographer Dan was one of our favorite memories! They put us at ease and were so enjoyable to work with, we had such a fun time!Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to our beautiful wedding! |

Andrea the hair/makeup girl was so nice and very easy to talk to and her overall work was beautiful. I didn't know what to expect going into it never seeing her work or anything, but she was AWESOME! I had no complaints at all, everything went smooth and was perfect for my husband and I. This is what all these wonderful people do on a daily basis as their career and they do a darn fine job. Thank you Paradise Dream Wedding, you made all our wedding dreams come true! |

Once proposed to and ready to begin nuptial planning, I was sure that a wedding by the ocean would be the perfect place for us. I stumble upon this website and from that moment, I was captured by the clarity and beauty of the photographers' work. Also, I thought to myself, if they put this much work into their website alone, there is no way they would slack with my photos, and indeed I was correct. First stop were the best coordinators in the world Jo and Arlyn. Both these women were there for me every time I had any questions or needs. Not once did they delay in answering my calls. They were always nice and reliable too. Then, I met the photographers. First, I met Gordon Nash. He helped me tremendously because most times I did not know what to do or how to pose. He helped me through the entire shot and got some amazing shots. Secondly, I met Jon, he is also a great photographer, he made me feel much more confortable with myself and took some amazing pics as well. Third one in the list is Ian. This guy knows how to make you have fun the entire time. If you do trash the dress pics, he will probably be as or more dirty than you by the end of it lol. Arien and Branden also were in the TTD shots, they were very attentive and made me laugh all the time. In general, I had an unbeliebable experience with all these people. They were there for me when I had no clue on what I was doing, and the photos turn out beautifully. I want to thank you all for being so good at what you do. Gracias-Thanks-Mahalo-Besos. |

At the last minute, we switched locations due to overcrowding at our original site. Our new location was perfect and we will always remember it - Secret Beach. We look forward to trips back to Maui and Secret Beach for years to come. Everyone at APDW was extremely professional. There was no stress at our wedding - perfect. |

Thank you Arlyn, Jo, and Eric for all your help making our Maui wedding dream a reality! Our day was absolutely perfect! Working with Arlyn (sales) and Jo (off-site coordinator) was a pleasure because they made the process so easy. On our wedding day, our photographer (Eric), minister (Vance), and hair/makeup artist (Karine) were all extremely professional and friendly, and let us focus on the joy of the day. We've told everyone how completely relaxing our big day was...everything went as planned, and we didn't worry about a thing. Thanks again for such a wonderful experience! |

Our wedding experience was wonderful. Joanne calmed my fears about booking a destination wedding and saved us a bundle in travel expenses! Jayanne was wonderful about keeping me up to date with the plans and making sure that I was getting everything that I wanted. The stylist was amazing; my hair turned out just how I had envisioned it. I think that we will always remember Eric for his photos and his hat *SMILE*. We could not have had a better wedding anywhere in the world thanks to your fantastic team. |

We picked Gordon Nash because of his beautiful photos and the way he captures the beauty of Maui as well as the people. We weren't disappointed and love the photos! Gordon & his assistant were very easy to work with. We really loved having Rev. Dennis marry us. He was willing to talk to us on the phone from the Mainland as well as meet us at our wedding site before the ceremony. His incorporation of the Hawaiian spirit was perfect and added the special touch to our wedding. Wayne K's music and voice made our wedding and reception even sweeter! |

We loved everything about our wedding day! Who could ask for more than Hawaii as a setting? Everyone was very professional and helpful. There was no stress about the day for me other than the weather which also turned out perfect. My father had recently passed away and we were not ready for a big family gathering. This was an answer to our prayers. Robert and I got to enjoy our day together. Gordon and Dan made us feel very at ease with the filming and photo session. I hate to have my picture taken and they made it easy. They did not make us feel rushed and we got the shots we wanted. Several |

It was fantastic to have the help and resources from a local company to organize and plan our wedding in a destination we had never been to. When we arrived on Maui, it was nice that we were in close contact with our coordinator, who was an invaluable resource for those last minute items. On our wedding day, we were relaxed and able to enjoy the day. Our day went off without a hitch. Thanks so much Jayanne, you were awesome! |

Gordon and Ian, The pictures are wonderful! I couldn't have asked for better photographers. As most brides can attest, the wedding day goes so quickly it's hard to really remember. Now that I have time to reflect, I can really enjoy the day while looking at these beautiful photographs. I really didn't think I would be nervous since everything was so well planned but I was and Shena really was a godsend. Her way was so supportive and carefree I relaxed because I saw how she flawlessly took care of all of the little details and allowed me just to be the bride. Jo, I can't even tell you how many emails from me she must have responded to. I felt guilty, but every time she would answer very timely with a pleasant reply saying that my questions were no problem at all. I don't think you will find a better company to use for your wedding. I'm still amazed of how I looked in the photos and I have Gordon and Ian to thank. I'm not even sure I actually looked that great, but the photos made it sure seem so. Ian really caught some really cool shots of us that we didn't expect. He is an up and coming photography star! Also, I now know why Gordon has won so many awards. Pure Genius I tell you! One thing that I may want to make new brides aware of is to what to expect from the coordination. I guess I was thinking more of a wedding planner vs. coordinator. What I found after ordering my package was that everything was taken care of for me. That was great, however everything (the flowers, cake, and music and videographer) was chosen for me. I was waiting to be contacted and asked what type of flowers, cake etc.. I would like. New brides if you wish for anything in particular let that be known upfront. The coordinator will do anything asked but if she doesn't know you want something particular she won't know to take that next step. If I had known that in the beginning I think I wouldn't have been so nervous and Jo probably would have received fewer emails from me. I think Jo did a fabulous job however what I didn't know made me panic a little. I hope this information helps the coordinators to work with upcoming brides and upcoming brides to know what to expect. Overall, any new bride would be a fool not to go with this company. The pictures alone would be enough to make you want to book! Thanks Again Paradise Dream Wedding! |

Thank you for a wonderful day. Everyone we dealt with, from our initial contact with Arlyn to the wedding day, were very nice and professional. Our minister Vance made it very easy to enjoy the ceremony. He is a wonderful person, a gifted speaker, and made our wedding very special. The hair and makeup artist Regina was amazing, and with Arien as our photographer and Dan as videographer our pictures and DVD turned out better then we could have ever imagined. We were so happy to have Joanne as our coordinator as she made many excellent recommendations and was very accommodating |

We cannot say enough about our experience with A Paradise Dream Wedding. Everything was perfect. Joanne, our travel agent, helped us book our hotel and Jeep rental. She made the process quick and easy. Jo, our coordinator, was prompt to return emails and so enthusiastic to work with. She truly was excited for our wedding. Our minister, Tino Rosete, was phenomenal. He really made our ceremony intimate and special and we were lucky to have him. Shena was our on-site coordinator. She arrived early to make sure we had the best spot on the beach to get married. She brought the bouquet and set up the cake and toasting area. She was so excited for us and made us feel so welcome. We cannot say enough about Gordon. Ian was with him and they made us feel comfortable and our pictures turned out amazing and beautiful. We cannot stop looking at them. Everyone at A Paradise Dream Wedding made our wedding a special and unforgettable day. |

Hi Jo! Wow, I can't believe that's it's all over and we're back in snowy Calgary! We can't thank you enough for our amazing day. Everything was even more perfect than we could have imagined and it's all thanks to you! We had such a great week, before and after the wedding.... and have even thought about moving there. Now that the wedding is over, maybe I'll have to start a Maui job search! Thankyou, for staying for the whole day/night. It was comforting to know that you were there, and your smiling face helped make the day so enjoyable and relaxing! Anyways, I'll be sure to post a testimonial on your website so that others can appreciate how amazing everything came together! I |

Thanks so much for the totally stress-free wedding ceremony. My new husband and I have reflected frequently about your professionalism and attention to detail. All we had to do was make a few simple decisions and you did the rest beautifully. Our Christian ceremony, photographer, and coordinator were all top-notch. |

Ian was very attentive and caring. He has a great personality for this job - everyone was impressed by him. He took a personal interest in our special day, and put in far more time and effort than we had expected. He had to deal with very difficult weather and light conditions. We had a series of pictures and ideas that were important to us and we appreciated the way that he adapted and incorporated our ideas and requests. Everyone has been impressed with our pictures too as are we! We would recommend Ian to anyone |

My wedding experience with A Paradise Dream Wedding was really wonderful. The pictures I got were so natural and were as beautiful as the pictures on the website. We were really happy with everything. We selected Cove as our wedding location. When we first arrived in Maui, I went to Cove in a cloudy afternoon. It was not attractive at all. I was so disappointed and really worried about the wedding. But in my wedding day, which is a partly cloudy morning, the Cove was really gorgeous. I guess picking the morning time is very important. Mr. Nash's camera can captured all the beauty of scene. You really can't get the same thing with a normal camera. And best of all, Mr. Nash can capture all your best moments in this important day. I'm also very happy with video. They are even better than the samples |
