Aloha to Captain Howie and to all The Above Heavens Gate Team!
We just wanted to thank you for everything you did for Us on our Wedding Day! It was so beautiful and We couldn’t have asked for a better day or a better place! After much research (a few months) and looking on-line, we spotted Above Heavens Gate! And I am so thankful for that! If anyone is looking for the perfect place to get married, This is the one!!! A relaxing, intimate, exotic place! With Wonderful scenery and beautiful grounds! It was peaceful, and very romantic. We picked the Pukalani Falls Garden and Angels Bay Package. I am so thankful we did because we got the best of both worlds. An intimate spot with a waterfall and a private place to get ready, as well as the beautiful Angels Bay Beach!
Wade did a fantastic job on my hair and makeup! I know because Everyone keeps complimenting my hair and make-up in the pictures! He made me feel really comfortable and We had a great conversation! I am so thankful for how natural yet classy and elegant he made me look!
For the people who did not come with us to Hawaii, the video was the best thing we could have gotten. Every time someone watches our video you can sense like they actually feel like they were a part of our special day because they get to witness every minute of the ceremony. We have watched the video quite a few times, and we are so happy with everything. Our pictures turned out Great! Thank you Fernando and Carlos for those amazing captured memories!
Most importantly, a special thanks to Captain Howie who created an individual ceremony for us that was amazing, bringing tears to all of our eyes! He said the most unique vows as if he knew us for years! His words were true to us and to our relationship. We felt every word he said and keep his wisdom close to us every day. Not to mention, he can really blow that Conch Shell!!!!
Thinking of Our week at Oahu continues to bring a smile to our faces every day! The staffs made us feel like we were with family. And for that I especially thank Deva for helping with our son and daughter when we were getting ready. Also, thanks to Chrissy for all her suggestions and with all the planning she did. And thank you to all that helped! The cake was Delicious and the leis, the shells, the bouquet and the Ti-Leaf Maile were perfect! You guys are the best Honolulu wedding planners
Words cannot adequately describe our Day! Our lives were changed not only because we got married there, but because we discovered a wonderful slice of unique paradise and truly heartfelt people! We will continue to enjoy the incredible memories that we brought back here to Montana. Thank you All for those memories you gave to us! Mahalo!
Aloha,
Eddie and Whitney Bates and Family
