Jenni and Brian Holdsworth – Lindsborg KS – Hawaiian Wedding

January 28th, 2010

Dear Capt. Howie, Deva, Chrissy, Jenny, Wade & Fernando,

It seems like just last week we were with you all in paradise, but the busy holidays are now over and life is starting to slow down a bit. We hope all of you had a wonderful Holiday season and New Years! Somehow we imagine yours were a bit warmer than ours were in Kansas!

We wish to thank each and every one of you for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. Neither of us would have changed one moment of our special day that was spent with you. We also wish to express our sincere thanks for making time in your busy schedule to meet with us the afternoon before our wedding. We were nervous about allowing plenty of time since we were staying on the west side of the island, and we felt a “practice drive” was in order. Add to that the fact we were both so very excited to see the beautiful Pukalani Falls and Angels Bay where we would be making our sacred vows.

Darin & Amy Gilbertson – Sheridan, WY – Hawaii Vow Renewal

January 25th, 2010

Aloha from Wintery Wyoming!

I want to take a moment to thank Capt. Howie and his staff for providing us with such an amazing 10th anniversary Hawaiian vow renewal!
From the moment we first opened your website to the day we received our photos and DVD, we knew we had made the right decision to go with Above Heaven’s Gate at Angels Bay.

Capt. Howie has such an amazing and peaceful personality that we left there feeling like we had known him for quite some time! Thank you for providing Amy and I with the opportunity to slow down and focus on each other during this special day – through the very spiritual, personal, loving and memorable words Capt. Howie shared with us.

We appreciate the professionalism and friendliness of your staff as well. There has not been a day since our return that we have not thought about – and appreciated – our very special time there with you. We would recommend Capt. Howie and his staff to anyone who is planning a wedding or a Hawaii vow renewal ceremony like we did!

Mahalo!

Dear Captain Howie

I just wanted to take a second to thank everyone at Above Heaven’s Gate a thousand times for making our special day so amazing!  We are very appreciative that you helped us plan everything in less than a month. Angels Bay was absolutely perfect for us! You all went above and beyond the call of duty and we appreciated it so much!

Our pictures are amazing and we can’t stop looking at them. Neither can our friends! We speak very highly of our wedding and are suggesting the same location to many of our friends. Capt Howie, you and your team of Hawaiian wedding planners are awesome! Thank you all so much!

Sarah and Mike Hatley from Tempe, Arizona – Hawaiian Wedding Planner

January 15th, 2010

To all at Above Heaven’s Gate,

We just want to say “thank you” to everyone who contributed to making our special day so unique and fantastic! Without a doubt, we made the perfect choice choosing you for our as Hawaiian wedding planner. Our ceremony, photography, and hair and makeup etc were all beyond description. We really appreciate your referral of staying at a beach bungalow in Waimanalo. This location is truly a hidden gem and makes for the perfect Oahu wedding!

We were both really nervous about planning a Hawaii destination wedding, but from the first moment we made contact with Chrissy, we felt at ease! She was very helpful and kind, and always addressed our questions and concerns. Planning a wedding with you was a truly easy and stress free process! It was exactly what we both wanted!

We had a combination wedding at Pukalani Falls Garden and Angels Bay. We are glad we made the choice to have our photos at both locations and to have the last minute option to choose where to have our ceremony. Pukalani Falls Garden is truly a magical place and made for incredible pictures! We were struck by the Garden’s awe inspiring beauty! Angels Bay is also totally gorgeous! We were both comforted by the sound of the waves crashing against the shore, the white sand, and the turquoise water! Truly a romantic atmosphere! We couldn’t have been more pleased with the resulting photos from both locations! Also, many thanks to Fernando our photographer!

I can’t say enough about Wade, our makeup artist. I have never been one who liked having my hair and makeup done by someone other than myself, but I am so glad I made the decision to have them both done. Wade did a fabulous job, calmed my nerves, and made me feel and look like a princess. He is also an absolute sweetheart!
Finally, we want to thank Captain Howie and Deva for allowing us into their amazing Hobbit House home and making us feel welcome! Captain Howie gave a ceremony that was more than perfect. We are glad we did not choose a “cookie cutter wedding”. Captain Howie, we thank you for making our wedding ceremony so unique and memorable!

Once again, thank you all for a lifetime of memories and beautiful photos! You will all forever have a place in our hearts! Captain Howie and Above Heaven’s Gate comes with our highest recommendations to anyone considering having a wedding on any of the Hawaiian Islands. Be assured, if you choose Captain Howie and his team of professionals, you will have made the perfect choice!
