Dear Above Heaven’s Gate
We just wanted to take a moment to thank Capt Howie and his staff for the great job they did on our wedding. His hairdresser worked a “miracle” on my hair (after swimming in the ocean for 4 days prior to my wedding!)He also did a great job on my make-up. My family told me that I looked like the same person, only more beautiful than ever. Thanks a million!

Aloha,
Thank you so much for an amazing wedding in Hawaii experience! It was stress free, from the planning to the actual day. The perfect day, even though it rained, we got our rainbow and sunshine anyway. Thank you to our makeup artist Wade, you made me look fabulous at 6 am! Thank you Capt. Howie for the breathtaking pictures! We get so many compliments and we can’t stop looking at them. We were still on Oahu and Paul was already emailing the link to our pictures on your website. The flowers were beautiful and thank you for getting the lei’s for our last minute guests.
After the wedding we felt instilled with the spirit of Hawaiian weddings and thus connected to the island. It was such a joyful and peaceful moment. Your words were really touching and heartfelt. We will never forget it.
Cinnamon’s Restaurant was delicious and we got a complimentary cake on our way out. We are already planning our next trip to Oahu for the Hussey Family Reunion in Hawaii. We recommend your Oahu weddings to all!

Our thanks to Above Heaven’s Gate.
When two people come together in this world, with a pure and wholly committed love for each other, a significant part of one’s life becomes complete.
Colin and I found that love with each other and couldn’t have found a more beautiful or pure way to express that lifelong commitment to each other than with Captain Howie and his crew of Hawaii wedding planners at Above Heaven’s Gate.
These are truly amazing people who made our wedding in Hawaii so much more beautiful and meaningful than we could have ever dreamt possible. Here I was marrying the man of my dreams, thinking nothing in this world could be better, and yet that day, each of you in your own way, managed to bring something extra special to it, something neither one of us dreamed of.
Captain Howie was kind enough to share his beliefs on the truth of love, beauty and nature that surround us, and that for so many of us, we take for granted on a daily basis. It was yet another moment of reflection…. A reminder that no matter how complex life can be, the most pure and basic offerings of this world, are what grounds us. Our lives have truly been enriched by sharing this special moment with him and his crew, and these moments are replayed in our minds over and over again, never to be forgotten.
Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for all you have done for us. A mere thank you doesn’t tell you the emotions we will carry for our lives, but from the bottom of our hearts and soul, thank you – for whom you are and all that you do.
Mahalo,

Capt. Howie & Everyone,
I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all of your help in putting together such a great wedding for Doug and I. The Pukalani Falls Garden was perfect and the planning and event were completely unstressful…THANKS TO YOU!
We really enjoyed our time there in Oahu with our families and the week ended with a really great ceremony from you. Of course, we enjoyed our time (by ourselves) even more…LOL.
Anyway, thanks again for everything you did for us.
P.S. I’m not sure our son Trevor will ever stop talking about Capt. Howie. Thanks for being so great with the kids!
