Captain Howie and team,

We want to say thank you to all of your team. We received the video yesterday and the pictures today, we are still in disbelief of how beautiful and perfect everything came together on our wedding day (June 28, 2010). We are very happy for all of you helping us preparing our wedding. You sure made “our” day pressure free from start to finish. The make-up and hair was absolutely wonderful and worry free. We learned and loved the relaxing atmosphere a beach wedding in Hawaii has to offer. We had high expectations for this day and you and your team exceeded all of them. We want you to know how much all of your effort meant to us.

Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.

Aloha Captain Howie, Deva, Chrissy, Jody, Ruthie, Fernando and Carlos!

Jim and I want to express our sincerest mahalos to each and every one of you for playing such a huge and pivotal role in what we consider “theeee” best day ever!

Our special day was beautiful from beginning to end…. but we knew it would be because the first time Jimmy and I logged on to your website we knew immediately “this was for us. We fell in love with the pictures on-line and how welcoming everyone was. Thank you Chrissy and Jody… whenever I called you were both always so helpful answering all of my questions without hesitation. I always felt “taken care of” by both of you. And, always finishing the phone call with a smile ;) …. I knew I had complete faith in all of you that everything would be perfect for my wedding day.

Our special day began with your one and only Ruthie, the makeup artist who was unbelievable!  She took such beautiful care of MacKenzie (my daughter) and myself. I even had a (mini-meltdown) in the morning, but Ruthie was so awesome and dolled me up with her meticulous attention to detail. She totally made me feel so glamourous with my hair and make-up.  Thank you Ruthie from the bottom of my heart. From the look in Jimmy’s eyes the first time he saw me…. I still get goose bumps remembering it. Words cannot express just how beautiful I felt because of how beautiful you made me look. Thank you!  Thank you! Thank you! We had such great laughs that morning too…. sooooo much fun!

Once we arrived, Deva helped all of us get situated so we could get dressed in our gowns and everything was done for us. I turned around and Deva had my flowers for me, which by the way were just as stunning as the picture. So, order your flowers from Captain Howie and gang as well. Deva made sure everyone had their leis, it was awesome how everything, I mean everything is just taken care at Captain Howie’s!

Carlos and Fernando are just incredible at how they captured all the beautiful moments of our day on video and film. They both made us feel so comfortable and relaxed, and I truly believe it shows in our pictures how happy we look.  Their patience and professionalism was unparalleled. Additionally, Fernando captured so many pictures of all of our family as well, enhancing our cherished memories.

Our ceremony was so special, and we were so excited Captain Howie was able to marry us that day. With his special words and beautiful message we will always remember how unique our ceremony was.  Surrounded by beauty at Pukalani Falls, with the sounds of waterfalls and cool breezes, to a walk across the way to Angels Bay Beach, looking out into the blue Pacific Ocean, our ceremony had the best of all worlds… garden and beach setting! We couldn’t have asked for anything more! Our wedding day will always be remembered with smiles, laughter and joy and it is all because of the wonderful….Captain Howie, Deva, Chrissy, Jody, Ruthie, Carlos and Fernando!

Mahalo from the Szymanski’s!

Aloha Captain Howie and Team,

Patrick and I, want to thank you all for coordinating such a  beautiful Hawaiian wedding for us.

I started my search for weddings in Hawaii, over a year ago, and by far, Above Heaven’s Gate, stood out above the rest.  I can’t lie – as a bride, I had some doubts about how everything would turn out. However, once we got there, my emotions were completely at ease.  Everything turned out to be just as I had seen online in the pictures… even better!

When we arrived to the Hobbit House, Capt. Howie’s, wife welcomed us, and made us feel at home.  She was a great help with getting flowers for me at the last minute, since my flowers had not arrived yet, from a family member.  Wade, did a spectacular job with my hair and makeup.  I can’t even count the number of comments I received, on how beautiful I looked.  I wish he could do my hair and make-up on a daily basis.  : )

Chrissy, was a tremendous help in planning and making sure that we got everything we needed and wanted for the wedding.  She kept in touch with me every step of the way. What I loved the most was, her answers to all of my questions were always YES!!  That is what a bride loves to hear!  : )

Capt. Howie, performed a wonderful Hawaiian wedding ceremony.  He spoke from the heart, and explained the importance of marriage. He emphasized that even though there will be up’s and down’s, we should never give up on one another!  Our wedding ceremony in Hawaii, couldn’t have been better!

If you’re looking for marriage planners in Hawaii, Above Heaven’s Gate, is the place!!!

Mahalo,

Aloha Captain Howie and crew!

We just wanted to send our most heartfelt thanks to all of you. We still can’t believe you arranged a Hawaii sunset wedding package for us with only four days notice. Everyone we talk to about our wedding in Hawaii is amazed that it actually turned out so NICE! You were able to work so fast and take the stress out of planning a wedding. You  made our special day a day of relaxation and pure joy, rather than the usual: stress, stress, and more stress! We would HIGHLY recommend you (and have already done so) to anyone looking for wedding planners in Hawaii to provide them the “ultimate easy marital experience”. We would not have had it any other way!

Every one of our married friends are very jealous of our beautiful pictures and how perfect our wedding in Hawaii truly was. Our video brings tears to the eyes of our loved ones and most importantly, Darcy and I. We can reflect on our wedding day with an appreciation of our perfect day. We owe all thanks to you! It was absolutely the most perfect day of our lives – exactly what a wedding should be. Thank you so much for making the first day of the rest of our lives the best day it could possibly be.
