Our families stayed at the Fairmont Kea Lani during the week of our wedding. We really enjoyed the comfortable rooms, beautiful landscape, and the great service. We even got leis and a fun fruit drink when we got there. What a great touch!

We got my husband's suit from Men's Warehouse. The guys in there were great to work with, and the alterations were very fast! This store has a very good selection.

I loved my dress from David's Bridal. I like the convenience of the store and the fact that they seem to have the process down well. I was very happy with the price of my dress too - it was less than my husband's suit!

We stayed at Le Meridien in Bora Bora for our honeymoon. Although the trip wasn't cheap, it was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience and my new husband and I will never forget the memories we made there. We toured the island several times, and we both felt like Le Meridien was the best resort on the island. They were excellent about coordinating our excursions and providing activities on the beach. The overwater bungalows were amazing! I'm so happy we chose Le Meridien!

We had our rehersal dinner at the Seawatch Restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was excellent! The view of the sunset over the ocean and golf course was beautiful! Our families sat out on the lanai, and we felt like we were the only ones there.

We loved our invitations from Jean M! I ordered them online, and I loved the convenience of being able to see the preview. There are so many options and ways to customize invitations. We thought all of their invitations are modern and classy. We got a lot of compliments on them!

We had a morning wedding at Makena Cove. There were other people around, but we felt like we were the only ones there. We enjoyed getting married with our feet in the sand, and we even got splashed by a wave during the vows! I can't think of a more beautiful place to have our wedding!

A Paradise Dream Wedding is THE best vendor!

Photography - Look at their website - the pictures are unreal! We got some of our pictures back already, and we can't believe that it's us in them! Our photographer was Eric Dahl, and we're so happy we picked him : ) He was very laid back, but he made sure I got all of the shots I wanted and even had some great ideas of his own.

Coordination - I worked with Jo Thurman, who was so helpful. It is a stressful thing to plan your wedding in Hawaii from Texas, but Jo was great about providing me with resources. She was very good about answering email as well!

Flowers - My boquet was perfect! I sent a picture to them, and they made sure they included all of the details that I wanted.

Hair/Makeup - My hair and makeup were done my Shelly. I gave her a general idea of what I wanted and let her go from there. I was so pleased with the results! I have very fine hair, and can't believe she made my hair look so thick! She did a great job!

On-Site Coordinator - Diana did a great job of making sure everything fell into place. None of our guests had been to the location, and my husband and I did not want to see each other before the ceremony, so Diana was very helpful in making sure everything went smoothly.

We felt like all we had to do is show up and we literally had our "Paradise Dream Wedding"!

We got our cake from Maui Wedding Cakes, and it was delicious! They made exactly what we asked for, and our guests love it! They delivered it to our reception site, and we didn't have to worry about it! I highly recommend them!

We had our reception luncheon at Spago, and we couldn't believe how amazing it turned out!

Location - We had our event on the lanai, which had an absolutely beautiful view! We enjoyed being able to be outside in Maui even though it was sprinkling that day. We were also able to take some great pictures with the ocean in the background, but even the building made a pretty background!

Coordination - I worked with Rikka Johnson who took time to make sure the event was everything we wanted. She was very good at returning my emails and phone calls and even met with us the day before to sort out details and for her to visualize the setup we wanted. Rikka emailed me pictures at my request, which made me feel better about planning my reception from so far away. She took care of making sure my cake got there which was great because I didn't have to think about dealing with another vendor. I highly recommend working with Rikka!

Cuisine - We knew the food would be good, but we had no idea it would be that good! Chef Cameron Lewark’s menu was sensational, and our families had so much fun with each course. Everything looked very unique and tasted so good! I wish I could have that meal all over again.

Service - The service was unlike anything I've ever experienced. They were extra attentive to my husband and I, and we never had an empty glass or dirty plate. We talked about the service with our families after we left, and they felt like the service was like an art. We all felt like we got special treatment, which is a good sign of exceptional service.

Price - We had originally planned to have our wedding in my hometown of Austin, Texas, but after looking at the outrageous prices of locations and catering, we decided we could celebrate our marriage with our families in Maui and we'd be able to remember and enjoy it more. The cost of our luncheon at Spago was much cheaper than it should be! Given all of the qualities I described above, we felt like the value that we got was so much more than we expected at our quoted price!

I can't say enough great things about Spago. I highly recommend having an event there!
