Holly and “Mr. Mardi Gras” Blaine Kerns Hawaii Wedding

Mary and George Renewed Their Vows in Hawaii

From the first moment I looked at the website, I knew I wanted to get married by Capt. Howie. Your Hawaiian wedding coordinators, Jodi & Sara, were always a pleasure to speak with on the phone. They calmed every fear I had of planning my own wedding in Hawaii. They even customized by bouquet since I wanted red roses.

When I arrived on our big day, I was blown away by how beautiful the Pukalani Falls Garden was. It literally took my breath away. We have so many wonderful pictures on our digital camera and can’t wait to see what the actual wedding pictures look like!

I got my hair and makeup done by Wade. He was such a joy to work with and kept me at ease the entire morning. I received so many compliments and both my hair and makeup looked amazing long after the wedding.

When we went to the beach for pictures, our photographer Piloni was a blast! We had the best time taking pictures at the breathtaking Angel’s Bay. Piloni even showed us a few. They were so amazing!

When I met Capt. Howie, there was such positive energy; I knew I had made the right choice! He spoke from his heart and really made our vows special. I feel so blessed to have been married in Hawaii by Capt. Howie. If I could do it all over again, I would do it exactly the same. Every detail was perfect.

If you are thinking about getting married in Hawaii, please look no further. Above Heaven’s Gate made our day very special. It will be cherished for the rest of our lives!

I cannot begin to describe our gratitude to Captain Howie and his staff for making our 25th Vow Renewal Ceremony in Hawaii so special. The staff assisted me in every detail from choosing flowers, hair and make-up, limo service, and photography. Everyone made sure our day was PERFECT! Pukalani Falls and Angel’s Bay Beach were beautiful locations for our ceremony as well as for our pictures.

Most importantly, Captain Howie was amazing! We are looking forward to our 30th Anniversary and renewing our vows again at Above Heaven’s Gate.

We were blessed to have our three children and our daughter-in-law there for our ceremony. Now, our 17 year old daughter has decided when she gets married, it will be at Above Heaven’s Gate with Captain Howie!

Thank you,
Tony and Crystal Grant

After coming home from Above Heavens Gate and getting our feet on the ground, we had to tell you how great our Hawaii wedding experience was! Captain Howie and his staff were absolutely fantastic. We could not have asked for a better setting and a more intimate experience. We really liked how Captain Howie made a custom wedding pronouncement that evoked tears and deep-seated emotions from within our hearts and souls. As a long time surfer and life adventurer, your ceremony was a perfect fit for a soul-surfer and his mate.

Thanks again for allowing us into your wonderful Hawaii Hobbit House and Pukalani Falls, and sharing your piece of paradise with us. There is NO question; our wedding is something we will never forget.

Thanks for an absolute wonderful wedding in Hawaii. It was perfect – the place, ceremony, photos, cake, flowers, your partner, and your staff.

Hawaii is paradise… such a beautiful place. In particular, Pukalani Falls and the magical tropical surroundings are really something very special that will always hold special memories for us.

After Kelley and I ran the Honolulu Marathon the morning before, it was another very early start with the limousine picking us up at 5:45am. I was quite worried as it was pouring rain. When we arrived, the rain stopped and Capt. Howie welcomed us. The girls went into the makeup room and the boys went out to the back garden. Pukalani Falls Garden is beautiful – the waterfalls, lush tropical gardens, special lighting, and torches burning.

Fernando, the photographer of whom I cannot speak more highly of, was genuinely very friendly and made Kelley and I feel so relaxed during the photo shoot. The ceremony was very special. Capt. Howie made it very personal and spiritual with a nautical theme that went down well with this ex-Sailor. The whole order of service from photos, cutting the cake, and then the ceremony amongst the beautiful surroundings was a great way to experience this special moment in our lives.

The Red Velvet Hawaiian Wedding Cake is highly recommended. Both the fresh flowers for the top of the cake and Kelley’s bouquet were absolutely beautiful. We totally recommend, when planning your wedding, that you definitely include the photo and video package – stunning and very professional. The DVD and photos were so good that I have had numerous comments about whether or not the surroundings were real or not. One friend quoted: “These photos are absolutely stunning. Kelley looks gorgeous. I’m not exaggerating here but they are the best wedding photos I have seen. Blown away.”

Thank you to Capt. Howie, Sara, Fernando and all the team!

Aloha,

Our whole experience at Above Heaven’s Gate and the beautiful atmosphere was amazing. Thank you Captain Howie! We honestly could not have asked for a more perfect location or friendlier staff. The stylist, Wade, did a wonderful job. The photographer, Fernando, was very professional and took beautiful pictures that we will cherish for years to come.

Thank you for making our stress-free and full of wonderful memories!

Aloha,
