Denise and Murray Brooks – Hawaiian Weddings

April 21st, 2009

Aloha Capt. Howie,

I wanted to let you know that today is mine and Murray’s 4 year anniversary!!! We have the best relationship. I believe that being brought to another level with your beautiful words and the aloha spirit, it has made us stronger and spiritually sound.

Capt. Howie, I have and still do talk about the beautiful Hawaii beach wedding we had on Secret Island. Taking the Catamaran over to Secret Island and on the way seeing lot’s of turtles and seeing the albino turtle. I can not express to others how spiritual and loving it was, however I do my best to describe one of the most beautiful days of my life.

Thank you Capt. Howie for giving Murray and I a gift we will always cherish and keep in our heart. Murray and I are blessed to have you and Deva in our hearts before, during and after our time on the island. You all are a gift from the great spirits.

Next year will be five years and I believe you said our wedding certificate will expire so we have to come back for a Hawaii vow renewal I will be working on saving money so we can do just that.

Take care and hope to hear from you one day soon…

With much Aloha,
Denise and Murray Brooks

Aloha to our friends at Above Heaven’s Gate,

Maria and I can’t say thank you enough to Captain Howie, and all the great crew at above Heaven’s Gate, for helping us achieve our dream wedding in Hawaii.

When we decided to elope, and skip the large home wedding, we had some concerns about how to go about planning our Hawaiian wedding from our home in Idaho. We researched lots of Hawaii wedding planners on the internet… but knew we found the perfect place once we found Above Heaven’s Gate and spoke to the very helpful and friendly staff. They immediately set us at ease and made the whole process unbelievably easy… and more importantly, stress-free! Thank you Chrissy and Jenny!

Everything was perfect… from the limo ride, Maria’s beautiful tropical flower bouquet, all the leis, the wedding cake, make-up and hair (thank you Wade!), photography (Thank you Fernando!) to Pukalani Falls Garden & Angels Bay. What an absolutely magical and beautiful place! It is simply something that you must see in order to truly appreciate! And best of all… it is completely private! After witnessing multiple other Hawaiian weddings during our stay… I now see the huge difference between the Mc-Weddings companies, and our experience with Captain Howie. There is absolutely no comparison! You don’t have crowds of luggage-totting hotel guests or gawking beach-goers intruding into your wedding and photos. At Pukalani Falls Garden, you are truly in your own private paradise!

Our Hawaiian beach wedding was also beautiful! The white sands and sound of the waves on Angels Bay Beach was the absolute perfect setting for our dream ceremony. And Captain Howie’s personalized words truly touched our hearts! Having a personalized ceremony was extremely important to us… because we wanted to incorporate Trevor (my new stepson) into the ceremony. We could not have asked for more from Captain Howie and he truly made this wedding in Hawaii a special family experience for us all! We cannot wait to receive the photos and DVD so we can relive those moments over and over again… and share our magical day, and Captain Howie’s magical words, with all our friends and family.

Thank you for exceeding all of our greatest expectations and making our Hawaiian wedding day so special!

Mahalo!

To All at Above Heaven’s Gate,

Thank you so much for making our wedding in Hawaii such a memorable and beautiful day. As a person who has a tendency to get stressed out easily, I can honestly say this was the best way to get married… totally stress-free. Capt. Howie and his fun, courteous and professional staff made my husband and I feel like royalty. We appreciate all your hard work!

Sincerely,

Barbara and Robert Gonzales – Hawaii Beach Wedding

April 2nd, 2009

Dear Above Heaven’s Gate,

Having our Hawaii marriage on Angel’s Bay, as my husband would say, was “Perfect”! The day started with our makeup artist Wade. He met us at our condo to do my hair and make-up….what a wonderful way to start your day, great conversation not to mention he made me look beautiful!! Then it was off to Angel’s Bay, we were met by the photographer, he too was awesome, so laid back, easy to work with not to mention the great pictures he took. The time came for our wedding, Captain Howie, made us feel right at home. Thank you for your sincerity, your words of wisdom and for a beautiful Hawaiian wedding. We would also like to extend a special thanks to your wife and staff. They were always very helpful with my questions and suggestions, what a delight to work with. God was looking down on us. March 16th, blessing us on our gorgeous Hawaii beach wedding with warm sunshine, blue sky and turquoise, blue green ocean. It was absolutely Perfect!!!

Thank you,
