Thank you to Capt. Howie, Deva, Wade, and the rest of the team for creating such a spectacular setting for our wedding day. It truly was everything we expected. Pukalani Falls is a private paradise Garden where you can express your love and begin your lifelong journey together. We could not be more satisfied and are eternally grateful to the team for making our special day so wonderful.

Dear Captain Howie and the gang,
I just wanted to take a moment and let you guys know how amazing our wedding was. We have not stopped talking about it to anyone that will listen. I know that a person’s wedding day is always special to them, however, we can not think of one thing that wasn’t absolutely perfect. We loved our photographer and had so much fun laughing and playing on the beach with him. The audio of our vows have makes us cry every time we listen to it. We thought your staff was amazingly friendly and helpful with all our special requests. We will never forget the awesome experience and are so thankful to you all. Thank you for creating the wedding of our dreams!!

Dear Above Heaven’s Gate,
Sorry I’ve not emailed you sooner – there just seems to have been so many things to sort out since we got home. Our photos arrived just in time for our wedding reception – thank you so much for sending them out so quickly.
Lee and I really can’t thank you all enough for the fantastic job you did for us. Literally everything was perfect – the location and the flowers were absolutely beautiful and your whole team was so friendly it really was the perfect wedding. I don’t know how the evening managed to be so relaxed and fun, yet deeply special and emotional all at the same time but it certainly was. All of our guests had a wonderful time too and there was many a tear of joy.
We’re absolutely thrilled with the DVD and the photos. Please pass on our sincere thanks to everyone who helped not only taking them but also editing and shipping them so quickly for us. It meant a lot to us to be able to share them with our friends and family at our wedding reception back home.
I’ve just visited your website and love the new look.
Keep up the good work and thanks again!!
Aloha !!

Dear Above Heaven’s Gate,
We would like to thank Captain Howie and his team for the incredible job that they did for us. We arrived there and from the beginning they were very warm and pleasant, like friends we have known for years! We haven’t received the pictures and video yet, but I am confident that they will be just as he promises. We saw some samples and were immediately sold! It was truly a romantic experience and something that Chrissy and I will remember forever!
Aloha,

Hello to all from the “Mother of the Bride”,
The whole experience of our daughter’s wedding with you was just perfect. Thank you so very much. We are so very pleased with the wedding ceremony, photography and video. The photos and wedding video are absolutely gorgeous!!! Tell Capt. Howie – the ceremony was just beautiful! The daughter of one of the ladies I work with, wants a Hawaiian wedding with you- she just has to find the right man!

Dear Captain Howie, Deva, and Team at Above Heaven’s Gate,
I’m so sorry it’s taken us so long to thank you for making our rainy wedding day the most amazingly, perfect, meant-to-be day of our lives!
After Hawaii, we went back to Houston, packed up, and moved back to Colorado. We’re finally all settled and I wanted to let you all know that one of my favorite parts about returning home to Colorado is telling the story of our wedding day… both to friends who weren’t able to make it and to complete strangers!
It’s strangely ironic… rain on your wedding day, but it was so perfect.
Thank you for taking care of me – for making sure that the bride wasn’t freaking out! 
The rain cleared everyone from the beach, and the small group of our friends and family beneath your umbrellas there on the beach was unbelievably amazing. Capt. Howie, you told us not to jump ship and reflected on the subtle perfection of the moment and its endurance in our lives, that love is the most important thing in the world and that marriage is the most challenging, rewarding endeavor of love. Exactly! Right on!
Perfect. Thank you.
The pictures are also incredible. Please express our gratitude to our photographer, Fernando, as well!
Thanks again for all of your efforts, your patience, and for creating a remarkable beginning to a happy marriage. We’ll always remember you.
Sincerely,
Chelsea and Aaron Kot

Dear Above Heaven’s Gate,
Capt Howie and his team put every effort into planning the wedding of our dreams. Throughout the entire planning process someone was always available by phone and email to answer all of our questions. Our wedding turned out even better than we imagined it would. The beach location could not have been more perfect. Miles of soft sand and beautiful water made this the most beautiful beach we had ever seen. The photographer was great and made us feel very comfortable throughout our photo session. The hair and makeup stylist was professional and made Lisa look and feel beautiful. Every staff member was friendly and helpful. Our family and friends talked for hours about the ceremony and the words Howie spoke throughout. It was unlike any wedding they had been to because Howie made it unique, fun and very special. We are so happy we chose Capt. Howie to marry us! Thank you Howie, Deva and the Above Heavens Gate team!

Dear Above Heaven’s Gate,
Our wedding day was very special and will remain in our minds for a long time to come. The wedding service was just perfect and heartfelt by both of us. We will take Captain Howie‘s words with us throughout our marriage.
Our photo package is superb and all our friends are envious that they were not able to be in the beautiful Pukalani Falls with us on the most important day of our lives.
Thank you for making our Wedding Day the best day ever.

The pictures were beautiful and have enjoyed showing them off to all of our friends!!! The CD album and DVD movie were excellent, also!!! You folks really know how to make a couple feel at home. You are so down to earth, and Capt. Howie, you really are a comedian. Thanks for making us laugh.

Aloha from Evansville Indiana,
We just wanted to send a note to Captain Howie and the gang and say “Thank You” for the perfect wedding ceremony. We have taken so long to write, and we apologize. It has been an exciting 3 months to get our lives back in order and the daughter into her own place for college this fall.
Thank you again, for making our wedding day so special and all the support we had before we arrived. Our friends and family loved the digital album we had playing at our reception back here in Indiana.
Sincerely,
