Jayanne is amazing. I was really nervous about planning a wedding from so far away. I had never been to Hawaii and totally had to trust her suggestions. I am so glad I did. The beach we were married on was so beautiful, I couldn't have dreamed of anything better. She was always available and helpful. Jayanne arranged to have my makeup done t the ondo. It was so relaxing and she was amazing. I couldn’t believe how beautiful she made me look! Our photographer, Arien, was amazing. He took his time always checking to make sure the picture was perfect. He had great ideas and was so patient.

We have been planning to tie the knot in Maui ever since we both fell in love with the island on our 2009 vacation. Secondly, we wanted to escape the brutal winter in Chicago... Your company has surpassed our expectations. It was the most beautiful and spiritual event we have ever experienced. We had a Hawaiian style wedding with a wonderful Christian minister (Tino). Every single step from booking till the ceremony itself was flawless. We wish we could do it again!!!
Thank so much Jo - you were a great listener and support for us. Arien and Brian -you have created one of a kind wedding memories on pictures and video. Tino- you have made our event even more special by speaking in Hawaiian. Your words during the ceremony have touched not only us but our families and friends who viewed the video later on. Kaniala --- we loved your voice and your music. Andrea- thanks for my make-up and my hair-do. Your assistance with last minute prep work before leaving our hotel room was so crucial. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for an amazing weeding in our dream location of Hawaii! A wedding can be such a stressful day preparing for that one special moment for memories that will last a lifetime. You guys made the day go by so perfect by coordinating everything for us. All we had to do was show up and everything was ready and prepared better than we could ever imagine. We both decided to not see or talk to each other the day of our weeding, you guys made this happen and fulfilled our wishes by coordinating around or schedules. The photos are absolutely amazing, our friends and family are so amazed at the beautiful images from our special day. We highly recommend you guys to any one wanting to get married in Hawaii! The day will be an amazing memory that we will have for life time! We had a wonderful time.

What an AMAZING experience. We could not have asked for better photographers!!! In fact, I'd go so far as to say that Gordon and Arien have the most beautiful work anyone has ever seen. My family and friends are truly blown away at how gorgeous the pictures are. My husband and I had extremely high expectations, but both Gordon and Arien EXCEEDED them. Everything through "A Paradise Dream Wedding" was top notch, and simply the best! My only regret is that I did not book hair and makeup through them, but rather I booked it on my own. Big mistake!!! Recommend BOOKING EVERYTHING HERE!!! One stop shop...you won't be disappointed! Hats off again to Gordon and Arien...you gentlemen are artists and truly amazing at what you do!!! Thank you so much...for making our dreams come true! Sincerely, Ross & Nicole

Areas we could improve upon: NOTHING!!! Truly the most amazing experience. Everything exceeded our already high expectations!

Since before Bret and I got engaged we talked about getting Maui'd ;) With so many different wedding sites to choose from it was a very confusing process since we live in Colorado and neither of us had ever been to Maui, but once I saw the sample photographs on Paradise Dream Wedding's website, it was a no-brainer. Every bit of the planning process from there on out was simple and stress-free. Jo, our coordinator was friendly and helpful. She took care of everything for me with just one call. All we had to do was show up at Makena Cove- which by the way, was AMAZING! Laki, our minister, was fantastic! He was so nice! It was exactly the ceremony we'd dreamed about! Gordon and Ian were awesome! They were so professional. They really put us at ease and made us feel comfortable. Plus they took SO MANY wonderful pictures! I truly could not have dreamed of a more perfect wedding! I wouldn't change a thing! :) Thanks to all who gave us the wedding of a lifetime!

We happened upon Paradise Dream Weddings through the photography shown on their website. Little did we know it was so much more! Our wedding was an absolute dream. Jayanne was such a great coordinator; it’s like she knew what I envisioned and made it happen. The flowers were out of this world. Special changes that I suggested were easily accommodated. The decor truly transformed Ka’anapali Point into our own personal “Garden of Eden”. The hair and makeup artist, Regina, was an absolute doll. She had fabulous ideas and did a phenomenal job. The photographer and videographer were great as well. Arien was a creative and talented photographer. Brian, the videographer, was very clear about what was needed from us. Our minister, Dennis, conducted an extraordinary ceremony. Everything went so smoothly once we were in his hands. He turned a traditional ceremony into such a touching experience for everyone.We couldn’t have asked for more!

I didn't know what to expect when I started the booking process but the moment I spoke to Jayanne, wow!! I am not really sure how anything I type can do Jayanne, Ian or Vance any justice. Incredible, amazing, wonderful, sweet, kind, smart, caring, compassionate, considerate, unbelievable... and the list could go on forever. I can't say enough about Jayanne. I didn't know people like her existed. Everything I wanted and more she was able to put together and I live in Buffalo, New York!!! Vance was so much fun! Really made us feel great! Ian, OH MY GOSH! This man is a genius! I really turn out bad in pictures but he made me look wonderful. His shots are out of this world. I have never met anyone like him. We seriously look at our pictures constantly. All of my friends and family are amazed by this man’s work. He captured the most amazing shots! Everyone is asking who my photographer was!! I am proud to have worked with him a nd hope to again in the future for another event! Jayanne and Ian really made us feel as if we had known them forever! I think we found some wonderful friends on Maui!! If you are considering a wedding on Maui, YOU NEED TO BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY. I am not kidding, really otherwise you will be disapointed! Jayanne is the sweetest person ever! Ian is an incredible person, we felt like we wanted to hang out and chat with him all night! I really could go on forever; I am more than happy with the results! I am amazed at the perfection!!!!! Thank you all so much! If I could give you a 100 or more I would, 10 isn't good enough to express what I think of you! I want to tell everyone who is planning a wedding to book with you guys! Other companies DON'T STAND A CHANCE!!! People probably think this isn't a real testimonial but IT IS, I PROMISE!!!

Everyone at a Paradise Dream Wedding were amazing! They were so helpful throughout the whole process. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect! Makena Cove was the perfect location. Jo was amazing! I did not have any stress at all from the beginning of the process to the very end on our perfect wedding day. The pictures were breath taking! My hair and makeup were absolutely perfect! Our minister was great. He made our day very special. We also got the DVD and we watch it very often. The music and the pictures they captured for the DVD are a very great way to look back on our special day. We showed the DVD at our reception when we got back home and everyone said it was like they were there with us. I highly recommend a Paradise Dream Wedding! Thank you all for making our wedding day beyond perfect!

One word to describe you guys - AMAZING!!!

We married bright and early on a Thursday April 21, 2011. The day could not have been more relaxed and beautiful.
Upon entering the ceremony site at Makena Cove, our breath was taken away. The sound of the waves crashing against the lava shore, the smell and feel of the morning air and that moment of knowing that we were marrying the one for us, could not have started our day any better. APDW made this happen!

To this day we still talk about how easy and stress free our wedding was. Jo THURMAN, our coordinator, was truly the best! Her attention to detail made our wedding dreams come true. She was very quick at responding to our multiple e-mails and on the wedding day nothing was missed!

A great photographer was on the top of our list for wedding must haves. Our photographer Arien SHERMAN did not disappoint. He blew us out of the water with his work. We knew from the looking at his previous weddings he was going to be great, but we never thought our pictures would turn out as amazing as they did. Arien managed to capture a perfect picture of every little detail that was important to us.

Della Peacock was our florist. Her talent is beyond amazing! The flowers were so fresh, it was as if she picked them that morning. She definitely surpassed my highest expectations!

Vance Rosete was our minister. We were so glad we had chosen him to marry us. His kind words and easy going personality made the ceremony that much better.

Brian from YourWebcast was our videographer. He captured every detail without us even knowing that he was there. We also loved that family and friends who could not make it were able to watch the video online only a few hours after the ceremony.

Maui Wedding Cakes made our cake. The cake was flawless, beautiful and delicious!

Andrea Duarte was my hair/make up/nail stylist She was incredible! Andrea went above and beyond! She was able to take my vision and create the hair and make-up I wanted. She was also hilarious and so easy to talk to. It was as if you knew her for years!

Overall I would definitely recommend APDW to anyone getting married on Maui. They do not disappoint. I cannot think of one bad thing to say :)

Our wedding was everything we wanted it to be, and more! The house at Olowalu was amazing, and we even had whales jumping in the background the entire day! Priceless!There could not have been a better background for our pictures.

Jo our co-ordinator was brilliant, she remembered so many things I would have forgotten about and helped us down to the last second before the ceremony, and after too. We can not thank her enough. We had Ian as our photographer and the photos are amazing, and he was so great and easy to work with, really funny and had great ideas and we love how the photos have come out, we cant wait to get some printed out into frames. Our videographer and assistant were also great, we are so glad we paid the extra to get an edited video of the day, it was well worth it and it was delivered so fast we could watch it whilst we were still in Maui! Kimo our minister was also great, a really nice funny guy who was perfect for us.

Andrea did my hair, and I was more than pleased, it has never looked so good, she did exactly what I wanted but even better! I would recommend her to anyone.

Tiffany who did the catering was so good, all of our guests could not stop talking about the food for days afterwards and some even got the coconut shrimp recipe off her to make at home!

We have had several guests mention that they found our wedding to be a really fun day, and said they had only seen ones like that in movies before! And when your guests have come half way around the world for your wedding it is really important they have a good time too, so that worked definitely worked out!

So I would recommend using A Paradise Dream Wedding to anyone getting married in Maui!

I was a stress-free bride thanks to APDW and their services! My hair and make-up were perfect for me and the photos are stunning! Our day was perfect! Jo suggested we used Son'z for our wedding dinner. All of our guests agreed, that was one of the best meals and service any of us have ever had! The knowledge APDW's staff has of the island was so extremely helpful...I couldn't have planned our wedding without them.

Jayanne was excellent. She responded to all of our questions in a timely manner and was sooo helpful in planning our wedding.
Kimo was great! He really made us feel comfortable and eased our nerves. He made the ceremony fun and entertaining for our friends and family.
Gordon and Ian did a fantastic job with our pictures. This was the initial reason why we decided to have a wedding in Hawaii (because of the pictures on the website) and we couldn't be happier.
My flowers were stunning! They looked just like the picture.
Andrea did such a good job with my hair and makeup. I was nervous since she didn't know what I looked like prior or anything about the texture of my hair but she did a GREAT job. I got a lot of compliments.
The Makena Cove is soo beautiful. We knew right away when we started looking at everyone's pictures that was where we wanted to get married. I was surprised to see that people were on the beach but they were polite enough to try and stay out of the pictures as best as possible.

A Paradise Dream Wedding is exactly like its title. We wouldn't have changed a single thing about our special day. We were so happy with your services and would recommend everyone to use A Paradise Dream Wedding if they are getting married in Hawaii.

Our wedding day was a nearly seamless, wonderful day! The only snafu was that I put the marriage license in the wrong bag and it was still at the hotel. Minister Vance saved the day by meeting up with us later in the day to sign the license and make it official. A lot of our friends and family who watched the ceremony from home commented that they liked Vance a lot and that he was entertaining them before the ceremony started.

Jayanne is really sweet and always addressed every one of my questions. All of the arrangements she made for me were exactly as we discussed. Arien is extremely professional and excellent at getting beautiful shots. We were thrilled that our photos were already uploaded to an online album when we got home from Hawaii. Our friends and family continue to comment on how fantastic the photos are. The flowers were gorgeous. Beautiful beyond what I had envisioned. The hair and makeup were awesome. She did my hair even better than the trial that I did at home ahead of our trip. She did a great job of making me look my most pretty without making me look not like myself. She also helped me get situated in the car with my dress. She was well worth the cost. Gannon's Restaurant did a great job. The location we ate at was really tranquil near the water fall and the food and service were great.

A Paradise Dream Wedding has wedding coordinating figured out! The photography is a cut above most wedding photography which was what led me to choose them in the first place. The gorgeous portfolio set the bar high and we were not disappointed!

Minister (Laki)- Our wedding was so memorable due to the presence of Laki. His lighthearted approach to our Wedding ceremony was so much fun, and turned a special day into something that was unforgettable, not only for my husband and I, but all our guests, too! Laki was definately the BEST part of our wedding planning experience!

Photographer (Ian)- Our photos are gorgeous! Ian took many wonderful shots and made sure we were comfortable during the shoot.

Jayanne- Jayanne had lots of great suggestions and ideas that we ending up incorporating into our special day. Although everything turned out perfectly, it was sometimes difficult to get responses from Jayanne. Early on we were willing to be patient considering that there were many weddings and other brides that were taking priority because their special days were approaching. However, when our wedding was less than 2 weeks away, we were still having difficulty getting timely responses back. Everything was eventually delt with and our questions were answered, therefore I still give Jayanne an 7, but I see some room for improvement. When you're planning such a special day remotely, it can be frustrating when it feels like your needs/questions aren't a priority.

We were very impressed with the services we received from A Paradise Dream Wedding. They took care of everything leading up to the wedding so we didn't feel stressed about anything.

The week of the wedding we found out that the weather forecast for our special day was rainstorm. Jayanne was more than helpful in finding a backup site in case it did rain. They also offered us the possibility of having our ceremony and/or the couple photos taken another day. We can't emphasize enough how flexible Ian and Jayanne were.

Fortunately the downpour didn't start until the evening and our wedding was in the morning, so it all worked out fine. However, we felt like we were in good hands, so had it rained we were confident that everything would have been taken care of. This allowed us to relax and enjoy ourselves.

Before the ceremony, Cherie Sequeira (Maya's hair and makeup artist) got up at an obscene hour to get to our hotel in time to do Maya's hair and makeup. She exceeded all expectations. Maya's hair and makeup looked amazing and stayed in place from the morning ceremony to the evening reception, which went on until passed midnight.

Our on-site coordinator (Shena) made sure that everything went smoothly on the big day. The officiant (Dennis) performed a very relaxed and friendly non-religious Hawaiian ceremony, just like we wanted.

Our photographer, Ian Shepherd, was very friendly and professional. He made us feel relaxed and comfortable during the photo shoot, and consulted us regarding our preference in the type of photos and the setting. He wanted to make sure we went home with photos we were
happy with. The photos looked beautiful, we were very impressed.

Everyone we dealt with at A Paradise Dream Wedding made the whole event very easy and stress free. We are very happy with them and would definitely recommend their services to anyone!
