Maui Wedding Reviews, Raves (Testimonials)

I was referred to A Paradise Dream Wedding by a friend of my sister's, who had used them for her Maui wedding a few years back.  I could not have been more pleased with my experience.  From the first time I spoke to my wedding coordinator, Jayanne, I felt right away that I was in good hands.  It amazed me how all of the planning took place over just a few emails and phone conversations.  I kept feeling like I should be doing more, and should be more stressed, as I feel like brides are typically so overwhelmed in the months and weeks leading up to the wedding.  But the planning was such a breeze, and so was the wedding day.  And we were able to really enjoy it.  When I showed up to the Makena Beach and Golf Resort for our ceremony, Shena (our onsite coordinator) was there to greet me.  I met Gordon (our photographer) and Tino (our minister), and felt very at ease.  Everyone was so calm and very positive, that it made me feel just as calm.  The wedding venue, which Jayanne actually suggested, was breathtaking.  The ceremony was short and simple, but also very intimate and special.  We didn't know what to expect, since we didn't have a wedding rehearsal.  But it was everything that we could have wished for.  After the ceremony, we took photos, all of which turned out amazing.  Even looking at the photos now, it still takes my breath away.  They really capture the love and beauty that was our wedding day.  We could not be happier with how everything turned out, and we would definitely recommend a Paradise Dream Wedding to anyone getting married in Maui.
Thank you,

We couldn't have had the perfect wedding without Paradise Dream Wedding. We had just moved from Oregon to Utah and searched the internet to try and find the perfect photographer and planner. With e-mails back and forth with Jayanee we started planning. The process was so easy between Pintrest and the e-mail's. I sent Jayanee all my wishes for our special day and she started planning.

We were lucky enough to have a few days to enjoy Maui before our wedding however we did arrive just as hurricane Hanna got there as well. We were worried about the weather but Jayanee quickly eased our minds following up with us and letting us know we would be taken care of. 

The day of our big day the weather was up and down but with the excitement of getting ready the weather was drowned out by all the excitement. As we drove to secret cove Garrick called to see if I would be alright with getting married at another beach Gordon and Garrick were at Secret cove and it was pouring down Gordon suggested that we drive five minutes down the road to another beach to get married. We decided that Gordon would know Maui and the weather the best and to go with what he recommended. We reached the second beach and the weather was perfect no rain beautiful weather and the perfect backdrop for our pictures. Both Gordon and his assistant Mami worked together to capture our special day. 

Our officiant, Kimo said the perfect meaningful words and Jayanee worked some magic on my bouquet to get me exactly what I wanted to make it even more special, I know that I had asked for something non traditional and difficult to get when I sent Jayanee the picture of the bouquet I wanted but she went above and beyond to get it for me. 

Gordon and Mami were pleasant to work with and not only saved our day by recommending to move locations but made it even more special by taking us back to Secret Cove to take pictures after the ceremony. They even stayed late to take some pictures as the sky darkened with the night and got some amazing shots.

They sent us the photo teasers and they didn't disappoint we were instantly excited and anxious to see the rest of the photos. Shortly after we received our e-mail with the digital copies and SmugMug access. 

Our day was amazing and our photos were breathtaking and even more than we could have ever hoped for. Gordon and Mami did such an amazing job we couldn't have asked for better pictures or a better group of people to have taken care of our special day for us.
Thank you Paradise Dream Weddings for making our day so amazing, not only do we have wonderful memories, we have the pictures that captured it.

We had the pleasure of hiring Gordon and Mami for our Maui Honeymoon photoshoot. Although we had to drive quite far around the island they were very accommodating with the time allowed and we are extremely happy with their services, professionalism and the results of our beautiful photos. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any photoshoot large or small! Thanks again!

Best Regards
