Our experience with A Paradise Dream Wedding was nothing short of perfection

My fiancé and I found Paradise Dream Wedding while researching the best place to have a private ceremony for just the two of us.Our experience with A Paradise Dream Wedding was nothing short of perfection. I initially chose this company due to the absolutely stunning portfolio of photographer, Gordon Nash. But we certainly got so much more than just a wonderful photographer. From the start, our wedding coordinator, Jayanne, was so amazing.  Even from thousands of miles away, she made the whole process so easy and seamless. Mami Horie, Gordon's photo retoucher, has given me the most beautiful pictures I could ever imagine to take back to our friends and family.  Brian, our videographer, made the day so much fun. Every detail was done to perfection with this company!!!! The hair and makeup by Liz, my beautiful bouquet by Shari, the limousine by Sean, and most importantly our very special ceremony! Our minister, Laki Kaahumanu, gave us the most memorable ceremony. Thank you to the entire team at A Paradise Dream Wedding for the perfect experience and most amazing memories!!! We can’t wait to come back for our anniversary! Aloha!!!!

Thank you to everyone for giving us the perfect day!

Aloha!
We thoroughly enjoyed working with both Gordon and Mami on our wedding day. They were very professional and did a wonderful job of making sure they got the photographs that we really wanted on the beach for our wedding day.  We even got a beautiful photo of a rainbow!  I also want to personally thank Jayanne for her wonderful approach to planning our wedding. She gave me such great advice and made me feel like we had the perfect day thanks to her wonderful planning.  Her whole attitude is a pleasure!  Our minister Tino was amazing. He gave us the perfect ceremony and made it so heartfelt. Thank you to everyone for giving us the perfect day!

Our photos are amazing - friends and family tell us that they look like scenes out of a Hollywood movie!

Aloha from Canada!
We are so glad that we chose Paradise Dream Wedding for our special day.  Our photos are amazing - friends and family tell us that they look like scenes out of a Hollywood movie!
We had a small wedding and so we were surprised that both Gordon and Mami were on hand at all 3 locations to shoot our photos.  They were so generous with their time, creatively taking shots from different angles.  Gordon’s attention to detail, combined with Mami’s warmth and ability to put us at ease made all the difference.
Jayanne organized the whole day, making it unfold exactly as we had wanted.  We had some particular requests for the bouquet – and Jayanne and the florist absolutely nailed it.  The bouquet was perfect! Thank you so much for putting us in touch with Mari. Betty had so much fun with the hair and makeup trial and absolutely loved what Mari came up with for the wedding day.
Tino was our minister – even though he has probably gone through these wedding ceremonies hundreds of times, his words rang sincere and made us feel that our ceremony was unique.

Mahalo,
Martin & Betty

Because of your team, our Maui dream wedding came true flawlessly!

It was Gordon's online portfolio that immediately caught my eye the first time.  I knew I wanted him to create the images of our Maui dream wedding.  Within 24hours of email inquiry, I was emailed by Jayanne (coordinator) and she was so informative.  I was able to speak with her personally after and she was so helpful and sweet…made me feel like planning a destination is such a breeze, "you have nothing to worry about" she insisted…I knew I didn't need to shop elsewhere for a wedding planner and photographer. |
With that said, a year later here we are:
WOW WOW WOW!!!  Kyle and I cannot begin to tell you how thankful we are.  Because of your team, our Maui dream wedding came true flawlessly!  We absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the pictures Gordon (main photographer) and Arien (2nd photographer) created, they are STUNNING!!!  And Mami, your picture editing is perfect…just breathtaking!  Our experience with your team was so easy, smooth, and more importantly, stress-free!  Jayanne's recommendations, suggestions, and advice throughout the entire process was phenomenal.  With date changes, venue changes, bridal party changes, all the way to hiring a limo 4 hours before the wedding, she still got it done so nicely!   I could not have done it all without her…she is a GEM!!!  She recommended Gannon's Lower Knoll for ceremony and Gannon's restaurant for reception, both an ideal choice for us and our rather large party.  On our wedding day, Shena (onsite person) was on point considering we had a party of 50 plus guests!  That’s never easy.  The guitar musician, Louise, added that extra aloha touch to our dream Maui wedding, just beautiful.  Our minister, Tino, wow he was perfect…so amazing…he did such a wonderful job making our wedding ceremony so special and meaningful!!!  And then there was Brian (videographer)…we watch it over and over…just beautiful, the music and all!!!  LOVE IT!!!  Our expectations have clearly been EXCEEDED in every way!!  My family and friends are still talking about this wedding!!  We both thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  We will have these beautiful memories to look back to forever. Many many blessings to you all!!!!

Genuinely Thankful,

Jayanne is the sweetest and nicest person I've worked with throughout my entire planning process!

I planned a wedding in Maui from Philadelphia and Jayanne was single-handedly the most helpful person I came across. Although she wasn't my full time coordinator, she was attentive and reliable just the same. She was prompt with responding back through email or phone whenever I had a question. She really went and above and beyond to help me on numerous occasions. She's also the sweetest and nicest person I've worked with throughout my entire planning process and I highly recommend her to help with your wedding without hesitation.

Gordon was my main photographer and Arien was the second photographer. They both were so easy to work with. On numerous occasions Gordon has gone above and beyond to make sure we had enough awesome photos to choose from. On technique, him and his team are on point. Mami was the photo editor and the pictures she edited looked like it came out of a magazine. There are plenty of great photographers on Maui but Gordon is definitely head of the pack. My husband and I are so happy with Gordon and his photo crew.

我在夏威夷,貓意岛举办了我的婚姻儀式。Jayanne是我的一位好朋友、在这场婚姻仪式她給了我最大的帮忙。虽然她不是个婚姻主持人,但是在这个婚姻仪式所須要的一切步驟她都很投入地很有責任性地做好我所須要的帮助。当我有问題給她電话或是e Mail 给她,她总是会马上尽快回復我。在这个婚姻仪式过程中,她真是一位最可爱最親切最有信賴地同我合作的一位好朋友。我在此給各位朋友一个最高的推薦如果你要举办婚姻别再犹猭请她來帮忙。

在我的婚姻仪式里Gordon 是我的主要摄影师。Arien 是个復配摄影师. Mami 是个像片加工艺术家。 他们俩都很友善、很容易交友的人。在摄影方面取被景也好、个人姿势也好都很有耐心、很有創意地去选择。保证照片的精采。他们会给你照好多像片让你有足夠的照片去选择。他们的摄影技术高,照出来的像片可像雜誌上的明星片、很美观。
夏威夷貓意岛有好多摄影师,但是Gordon决对是最好的一位。我和我先生很满意Gordon 摄影师和他的成員。

I am very happy with A Paradise Dream Wedding. Jayanne is seriously the most awesome person and the sweetest person ever. I have met other planners that have lied to me and tried to serve themselves but Jayanne always made me feel comfortable and was very honest in her work. Thanks for everything!

The photos are breathtaking! that truly captured the beauty of our wedding and Maui

Hello Everyone,
We want to take a moment to thank all of you for your amazing job. Jayanne, thank you for helping us coordinate and plan our wedding day. Thank you for you suggestions and for answering all of our emails and phone calls. Mayra wants to thank Liz, her stylist, for doing an awesome job styling her hair and doing her make-up. Liz arrived and finished on time. We also want to thank our guitarist Hale for letting us use his guitar. Our minister Ernest did a wonderful job. We appreciated the beautiful and thoughtful prayer at the end of the ceremony. We also enjoyed his sense of humor and calm demeanor. Brian, our videographer, did a great job guiding us and capturing our ceremony on video. We enjoyed his lively and energetic personality. We can't wait to see the final video. Special thanks to Gordon and his assistant Arien, for taking stunning photos. We are not photogenic, but Gordon and Arien made us feel and look incredible. Gordon was super friendly, patient, and made us feel very comfortable. It was a pleasure meeting Gordon and having him as our photographer. The photos are breathtaking! that truly captured the beauty of our wedding and Maui. Thanks again for making our wedding day special and memorable.
