Sarah and Mike Hatley from Tempe, Arizona – Hawaiian Wedding Planner

January 15th, 2010

To all at Above Heaven’s Gate,

We just want to say “thank you” to everyone who contributed to making our special day so unique and fantastic! Without a doubt, we made the perfect choice choosing you for our as Hawaiian wedding planner. Our ceremony, photography, and hair and makeup etc were all beyond description. We really appreciate your referral of staying at a beach bungalow in Waimanalo. This location is truly a hidden gem and makes for the perfect Oahu wedding!

We were both really nervous about planning a Hawaii destination wedding, but from the first moment we made contact with Chrissy, we felt at ease! She was very helpful and kind, and always addressed our questions and concerns. Planning a wedding with you was a truly easy and stress free process! It was exactly what we both wanted!

We had a combination wedding at Pukalani Falls Garden and Angels Bay. We are glad we made the choice to have our photos at both locations and to have the last minute option to choose where to have our ceremony. Pukalani Falls Garden is truly a magical place and made for incredible pictures! We were struck by the Garden’s awe inspiring beauty! Angels Bay is also totally gorgeous! We were both comforted by the sound of the waves crashing against the shore, the white sand, and the turquoise water! Truly a romantic atmosphere! We couldn’t have been more pleased with the resulting photos from both locations! Also, many thanks to Fernando our photographer!

I can’t say enough about Wade, our makeup artist. I have never been one who liked having my hair and makeup done by someone other than myself, but I am so glad I made the decision to have them both done. Wade did a fabulous job, calmed my nerves, and made me feel and look like a princess. He is also an absolute sweetheart!
Finally, we want to thank Captain Howie and Deva for allowing us into their amazing Hobbit House home and making us feel welcome! Captain Howie gave a ceremony that was more than perfect. We are glad we did not choose a “cookie cutter wedding”. Captain Howie, we thank you for making our wedding ceremony so unique and memorable!

Once again, thank you all for a lifetime of memories and beautiful photos! You will all forever have a place in our hearts! Captain Howie and Above Heaven’s Gate comes with our highest recommendations to anyone considering having a wedding on any of the Hawaiian Islands. Be assured, if you choose Captain Howie and his team of professionals, you will have made the perfect choice!
