After the wedding was over, we went to the Halekulani for our honeymoon... without our 100 closest friends and family! It was MARVELOUS! The staff was 5 star all the way, and the relaxation was fantastic after all the wedding excitement. I highly recommend this hotel!

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience. From the first time I talked to Jackie, everything just clicked. She was perfect. Even when my Mom called and tired to change the colors for the wedding (Yeah, thanks mom!!!) Jackie found a way to difuse the situation without upsetting my Mom, but she stood up for me and what I wanted in a gentle way that allowed Mom to think it was her idea. Smooth!

Everyone in our wedding and our families have nothing but raves for everything Jackie had a hand in. The warmth of her personality made me feel like I could ask her for anything in the world and she would have found a way to make it happen. Her ideas and eye for design really pulled things together. And Dad even loved her for keeping to our budget - always - while still finding a way to creatively put in everything I wanted. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Todd and the team at Hawaii Video were fantastic! They were nice before the wedding, and light hearted and easy to get along with during the wedding day. It didn't feel like the camera was on -- we were just having too much fun! When we got the edited video it was so obvious that we liked them... we were all *real* in the video! This was well worth the money to have such a cherished memento from our day. Cheers to the Hawaii Video team!

Oh, Scott Drexler... where do we begin? Scott was one of my favorite vendors and someone that my family still talks about when we think of the wedding day. He has an eye that is so unique. When we got our proofs it was horrible having to choose between them because they were ALL so good! There were moments that I didn't even realize Scott had seen that were captured, and that was amazing. There were also photos of my grand parents having FUN at my wedding, and I believe our entire family will treasure those forever. Scott was more than a photographer at our wedding. It was like he was a family member that knew exactly how to bring out the best in everyone.

Hiring him might just be the best decision a couple can make!

This is the company that provided the chirvari chairs. All of the white cushions looked brand new! Excellent quality and a good value, too.

Our chuppah was designed by Della. She did an amazing job incorporating our burnt orange and white colors into a marvelous design that was not over powering, but definitely gave a great punch of color for our ceremony set up. She even designed the floral garland in a way that we could re-use the flowers for the ceremony. Very green! I was really impressed with Della!

One of my bridesmaids manages the local BCBG store, so we got awesome discounts on the bridesmaid dresses. The girls agreed on a color and then had fun picking out styles that suited them best. Everyone looked amazing, and they WILL actually wear these again!

My husband and all of the groomsmen got matching suits from BB before the wedding. They looked great and were all comfortable in the Hawaiian sun because the suits were so light weight. Great choice!

Willy was very professional and clearly very talented. We actually got to meet him before the wedding day when he was playing at Mulligans. Talk about versitile! He can play anything from Irish dance music to the finest classical music you've ever heard. He was a really great addition to our day.

I wanted the harp for our ceremony. Kristine was not only talented, but she was also a lovely woman. She looked like she fit in at our ceremony. It was clear she had worked with the violin player before because they were flawless together. How cool to have such a fun harpist!?!?!?
