Aloha Captain Howie, Deva, Chrissy, Jenny, Wade, Fernando and Reverend Rich!
I can’t thank you enough for giving us a wedding day that was beyond our imaginations. From the first phone call, through the planning and all the way to the wedding day, you were all incredibly helpful and fun to work with. I can’t imagine a more stress-free way to plan a wedding! Chrissy and Jenny did a spectacular job making sure that everything was exactly the way that I wanted it. When we arrived at Pirates Cove and everything–flowers, leis, cake–was all ready and waiting for us, I couldn’t believe how easily it came together. My bouquet and the leis that we got were really gorgeous and matched both my dress and the dresses of our “wedding party” exactly. The cake and the topper were also very pretty–but most importantly, the passion fruit cake tasted awesome!! Plus, I can’t believe how beautiful Pirates Cove was, both before and during the sunset! I know that’s more of a result of the fact that, on the whole, Hawaii is much more beautiful than Maryland, but I couldn’t help that think that it was also that you guys picked a great location on the island.
Speaking of the wedding day, I can’t say enough good things about it. I had really high expectations, considering the pictures that I saw on the website, and they were completely exceeded! Wade was amazing–he made both me and my mom look (and feel) like movie stars. Not to mention that he was really fun to just hang out with while he was doing our hair and makeup. Fernando was the most mellow and relaxed photographer I could ever imagine. Steve and I both absolutely hate to have our pictures taken, but with Fernando as our photographer, it was actually a lot of fun. He put us completely at ease. Reverend Rich’s words were absolutely beautiful and incredibly pertinent. I think that many wedding ceremonies can come across as things that are said just for the sake of saying them, without much thought for the two people getting married, but Rev. Rich’s words were so special to me and Steve that I know we’ll never forget them.
One last thing, I can’t believe how quickly you guys got us our photos and wedding audio! I know that we technically had an off-season wedding, but I couldn’t believe the turnaround time. Fernando must have taken the pictures back to the studio and started retouching the very next day! Our pictures came out absolutely beautiful and the wedding audio was a really nice touch. I showed the pictures to some of the people I work with and one girl actually said “I wish I could have another wedding day and get married like that!”
I can’t imagine a more wonderful way to get married or more wonderful people to help give us the experience! Thank you again for such an unforgettable wedding day!
Mahalo,
