Sheridan and Stephen Orbann • San Digeo, California • Sunset Wedding in Hawaii

July 15th, 2010

Hi Capt. Howie, Jodi and the whole team at Above Heaven’s Gate,

I wanted to thank you for helping us plan an incredible sunset wedding in Hawaii.  I couldn’t believe how easy it was to plan a wedding in only 2 days!!!  The thing that surprised me most was the quality of service I received from start to finish. When I first called, Jodi answered all of my questions, gave me a quote and arranged everything immediately.

Your artist ,Wade, did wonders with my hair and make-up.  The best compliment I’ve received from my pictures is that I look beautiful and I look like ME! (and not an overly made up bride).

Our stretch limousine was the whitest, biggest, most luxurious limo I’ve ever ridden in.  It could’ve held 20+ people and just the two of us were riding in it – I felt like a celebrity!  I will always cherish the memories created on the beach with Fernando and Capt. Howie’s colleague, Rev. Rich.  Fernando made us feel completely at ease with the photography moving from pose to pose, on the rocks to the beach, with laughter in between.  Rev. Rich gave us a beautiful ceremony and I will always remember when it started to rain – he opened up his umbrella, we huddled together, smiled – and he kept on going, explaining how lucky we were to have the rain on our wedding day, considered a blessing by God in the Hawaiian culture.  It was truly an amazing day filled with wonderful strangers that helped create and unforgettable wedding day.  My wedding was stress free, fun and I couldn’t have imagined it any better.

Thank you so much for everything!

Sincerely,
Sheridan and Stephen Orbann

Aloha Captain Howie and gang,

Mahalo for coordinating such a wonderful day for us. Our wedding was perfect and we are 100% happy that we choose the Above Heaven’s Gate family for our special day.

Planning our wedding with Chrissy was a breeze. She has to be the best wedding planner in Hawaii. Chrissy was excellent and arranged everything exactly as we asked. Chrissy greeted us with a big hug and made us feel like we were family.

Our make up artist, Wade, was brilliant and made me feel very relaxed with lots of stories about his tiny dog, Julius. I couldn’t thank him enough for the fabulous job that he did with my hair and make up. I brought a picture of how I would like my hair styled and the end result was even better than I had hoped for.

Our photos are excellent and we are so excited to show all of our family and friends. Our photographer Fernando, made us feel like long lost friends and was extremely professional; taking the time to ensure everything in each shot was set up just right.

Captain Howie is a true legend. Captain Howie created an individual ceremony for us; it was unique and suited us perfectly. We are even engraving the inside of our rings with a segment from the ceremony “Never Jump Ship”. The recording of the ceremony is a wonderful surprise and it is lovely to be able to share the moment with our family.

We are over the moon that we chose Hawaii to have our wedding and even happier that we chose Captain Howie to perform our Hawaiian marriage.

Anybody considering an exotic beautiful place to get married forget the rest and go with the best – Above Heaven’s Gate!!!

Mahalo

Aloha,
Angela and Dave Tunnicliffe

Dear Capt. Howie,

Dale and I are thinking of all of you today as we reflect back on such a memorable wedding in Hawaii, 1 year ago.
We played back our wedding video this morning remembering what a beautiful & special Hawaiian wedding you provided us.

As i decorated the inside of Dale’s truck with lei’s and set up a Hawaii music disc and a card from me, I remember how important each day together is.
I ordered pineapples from Hawaii and we enjoyed reflecting on how good they tasted there.
A 1st Anniversary is the gift of Paper so I put together poetry & pictures for Dale. He bought me a dogwood tree as it is as close to some of the tropical flowering trees i enjoyed in Hawaii.
Later we will go out to dinner and sit and relax and enjoy each other & reflect on how lucky we are.

Thanks again for wonderful memories of the perfect wedding ceremony in Hawaii!

Love
Bonnie & Dale

Original Testimonial – JULY 14TH 2009

Dear Above Heaven’s Gate

It was truly a blessing to have had our Hawaiian wedding with Captain Howie and his staff. The magnificent Pukalani Falls Garden and Angels Bay will be in our hearts forever. They were both absolutely serene and beautiful.

It was certainly a pleasure meeting all of you. We want to thank you for providing us the perfect location, and the most perfect day.

It’s hard to believe we are close to leaving your beautiful Island. Sadly, we leave Wednesday night. Yesterday we hiked Diamond Head and we’ll be hiking back to the waterfalls today. Monday we will take in the North Shore again and hopefully a Luau.

Have a beautiful day.

Love,
Bonnie and Dale Graham
