Stacey and Cory White – Hawaiian Beach Wedding

September 23rd, 2009

Hawaiian_beach_weddingCapt. Howie,

From the first minute I talked to your lovely staff on the phone I knew we had chosen the right place for our special Hawaiian beach wedding. Planning a wedding in Hawaii can be so stressful but you helped to make it so simple. We felt very comfortable and blessed to have Captain Howie perform our ceremony. You treated us like family and truly made this a wonderful and unique experience.

From the very bottom of our hearts, thank you and Aloha!

Rich and Kel Johnson – Hawaii Destination Weddings

September 22nd, 2009

Hawaii_destination_weddings_2Dear Capt. Howie and the gang.

Kelly and I just wanted to take the time to tell other “married couples in waiting” about our wonderfully intimate experience with weddings in Hawaii and the beautifully unique service you gave.

From the moment we arrived we both had this calming feeling that our day was going to be the most special day.  The stunning Hobbit House, the beautifully maintained gardens and waterfall at Pukalani Falls with the mountain backdrop, reinforced the idyllic setting we had been dreaming about.  But nothing truly prepares you for the magical way you feel when you are actually there.

Having never met, and having only corresponded by telephone and e mail, many a couple might be put off by such radical and technological means of organizing your Hawaii wedding day.  However, when we tell you about the amazing service, speed of response to any questions or requests, dedication to detail, friendliness, personal touches and accuracy of the website all you need is your own imagination for your special day.  Above Heavens Gate really will take care of the rest.

Kel’s hair and make up artist, our photographer and DVD editor were fantastic.  A wealth of experience, humble and relaxed professionals, all of whom have charming personalities and a dash of fun and flair which made us feel like a pair of ‘A’ list celebs for the day!

Our Hawaii wedding on the beach was nothing more than perfect.  The sun shined brightly, and Capt. Howie spoke from his heart.  He composed a very unique ceremony – all about us as a couple, our journey ahead and the meanings and sanctity of marriage.

We received our Hawaii wedding photos and DVD shortly after returning home.  A very fast service with the upgraded delivery service meant a lovely blessing and party for our family made this whole experience complete.  The DVD had our family members weeping with happiness at the beauty of my bride and the surroundings of the wedding, whilst the quality photographs captured moments in time of our purest happiness together that will last forever.

Above Heavens Gate comes with our highest recommendation.  We travelled half way around the world, and of all the Hawaii destination weddings, we found the most perfect wedding organizers and minister.  How lucky we were!

Fondest regards

Melinda & Derek Millan – Wedding Ceremony in Hawaii

September 20th, 2009

Wedding_ceremony_in_HawaiiDear Capt. Howie,

Derek & I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone at Above Heaven’s Gate! From our first e-mail/phone contacts, throughout our wedding ceremony in Hawaii, to tying things up after our wedding day we have been treated with nothing but warmth and respect from your staff. I loved being pampered with a pre-wedding makeover, and your photographer & viedographer were fun yet professional. The setting in the Pukalani Falls Garden and at Angel’s Bay was just breath taking; so peaceful! The Hawaiian wedding ceremony was absolutely beautiful and was the perfect way to express our love to each other! Everything was perfect! Thank you Capt. Howie!

Sincerely,
Melinda & Derek Millan

hawaiian-weddingDear Capt Howie,

We would like everyone to know how you made our wedding in Hawaii absolutely spectacular.  Every tiny detail was taken care of by your staff.  They did an amazing job from the hair and makeup, flowers, pictures, to our beautiful Hawaiian wedding ceremony.  To anyone who is skeptical let the pictures speak for themselves. Pukalani Falls Garden and Angels Bay Beach are truly a magical places.  Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity.  Oh, by the way the photo CD album slideshow is amazing.  We had it showing at our reception.  We received so many compliments and we just wanted to pass those on. So thank you and mahalo.

Grace and Edgard Elento – Vow renewal Hawaii

September 2nd, 2009

016Elento11160Dear Capt. Howie and Gang!!!

We just wanted to let you know we’ve received our pictures from our Hawaii vow renewal at Angels Bay and they look fantastic. Edgard and I have caught ourselves going through them over and over just to relive the wonderful experience you and your team provided for us. My husband and I look 10 years younger and looking through them makes us feel giddy like teenagers all over again! We’ve told everybody about Above Heaven’s Gate’s weddings in Hawaii and have referred several of our closest friends to you. They too are looking to renewing their love with a vow renewal in Hawaii. We’ve expressed it before, but we can’t help but say thank you again for everything.

MAHALO!!

038Watkins10288Hi Captain Howie,

Thank you so much for the DVD, we received today. The quality is great and it brought back many happy memories of our wonderful wedding in Hawaii.

All the Hawaii wedding services you provided were top quality. Right from the very start of finding you on the internet searching for Hawaii weddings, through meeting with you before the wedding, to our special day itself and to the aftercare on our return home, you and your staff have been extremely friendly and efficient. We could not find the slightest flaw in any part of it. The make up artist made me look and feel like a million dollars. The photographer built up a great rapport with us and portrayed some lovely intimate moments – such as shared jokes and teary eyes in his photos and video. And Captain Howie himself brought a really unique and mystical quality to the whole proceedings. He understood where we were spiritually and brought the things that were important to us in our Hawaii marriage ceremony. The entire staff in his far out Hobbit House office were incredibly friendly and always answered any queries we had quickly. Both Pukalani Falls and Angels Bay were breathtaking. The sounds of the waves in the background provided a wonderful “soundscape” to our memories. We will never forget the Hawaiian wedding day, and we have Captain Howie and his crew to thank for that.

Please feel free to use the above for your website and let us know if you would like some more! Looking forward to receiving the photos soon. Thanks so much again!

Love,
Rachel and Dave Watkins
