A Paradise Dream Wedding

Hi Jayanne! I just wanted to say thank you for everything! Our wedding and Minister Richardo was wonderful. We really appreciate everything you have done in helping us coordinate such a beautiful wedding. Thank you, Deziree Boeldt

"We enjoyed the ceremony from our Maui Wedding Minister Robert “Kuya”. Our Photographer Brandon Vincent came early for free to take getting ready photos. Jayanne, our Wedding Coordinator, thank you for your support, we had an amazing time. Krista and Brian.”

"Hi Jayanne! First I want to thank you for helping us plan our wedding. You made it easy and effortless. Our day was beautiful! Robert, our Minister, was amazing, he gave us the ceremony we wanted without even meeting us. All of our guests keep saying how beautiful it was, the best wedding they have been to. We couldn't have done this without you. Hope all is well in Hawaii! tThanks again for everything. Jenna"

Hi Jayanne, We loved having you guys be a part of our special day. We really enjoyed being able to throw any change your way and have you accommodate all of our wishes to make the day exactly how we wanted it to be. We also loved all of our wedding pictures and the passion and dedication that Branden Sequeira put into getting the best shots. Thank you for everything! Kayla Pembleton

My husband and I renewed our vows during our vacation in Maui. Paradise Dream Wedding, Jayanne, did an outstanding service in setting everything in place for us. "Laki" our minister was the best. Our renewal was so much more impressive than what we had at our original wedding. A memory we will never forget. Branden Jon did our photographs and they are awesome. We are not photogenic, that being said, the photos were 10+. We love them. Working with Branden on the beach was the best experience. I highly recommend Branden, would not even consider a different photographer. Koodoos to you Laki, Jayanne and Branden, thank you for everything. Jack and Vicki Retherford

"Jayanne Jeffreys and her team at A Paradise Dream Wedding are the best! From the moment I spoke with Jayanne, I knew I would be taken care of. She knew exactly what information to provide me with right at first. There were several followup phone calls and we always had an open line of communication. That is very reassuring when you consider the distance and time difference from Kentucky to Hawaii. Jayanne was also very accommodating with my last minute requests. She is truly great at what she does! The package I chose included Kyle Evanko as both the minister and photographer. I can not say which he is better at, because he did such an outstanding job at both! Our ceremony felt as though it was specifically tailored to us as a couple. His performance was beautiful. We chose a Christian ceremony where he did a wonderful job glorifying God and sanctifying our union, while also incorporating traditional Hawaiian elements as well. His staff were eager to help capture our day and I could not be more thrilled with the pictures! The beautiful weather and our happiness were reflected perfectly through our photos. The last minute addition of our video was a great choice, because now we will forever be able to look back on our special day, as well as share it with our friends and family. I highly recommend this company, as they are equipped with highly experienced individuals who care about what they do and invest in their clients. I can not thank them enough for making our day so magical and unforgettable!" Thank you again Jayanne! Love, Kayli Tackett

Aloha from Boston! Josh and I have been thinking a lot about where we were a year ago and as its October again, we can’t thank your team enough. Our year has been filled with laughter, fun and family time. Thank you for being such a big part of our marriage and it couldn’t have been any better! We will keep you updated and we hope to visit Maui again soon! With love, Heidi & Josh Peters

They live up to their name, “A Paradise Dream Wedding” is what we had! Jayanne walked me through every step before the day and took care of every detail. Branden the photographer went above and beyond making sure we captured every moment. Pastor Laki was so much fun and the little details he added made our day so special and unique. When I received our pictures it was like Christmas morning as a child. I could not contain my excitement! Our pictures were perfect and took me right back to Maui! Thank you to A Paradise Dream Wedding for creating the most memorable day!

We had the best experience with A paradise dream wedding! They helped us plan & execute exactly what we wanted for our Maui wedding in 2008. We had the pleasure of using them again this spring for a 10 year family photo shoot when we visited the island & it was nothing less than perfection! They are punctual, personable, patient (having a child apart of the fun now) creative & the photos turned out amazing. We highly, highly recommend them!

We were married at Makena Cove in 2013. On a recent return trip, we decided to have the same minister that married us perform a Hawaiian blessing ceremony for our children at Makena Cove. A Paradise Dream Wedding made this possible and it was simply an amazing day from beginning to end. Adam, our minister, of course exceeded our expectations and made us smile from ear to ear watching him bless our two boys and our family. Kyle’s photos captured the most amazing memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. Mahalo Adam, Jayanne and Kyle for everything! The Swishers.

My husband and I decided we wanted to elope in Maui, but we didn't have a clue what we needed to do to make that happen. We reached out to A Paradise Dream Wedding, and I am so happy we did! Jayanne was extremely helpful, and put our minds at ease right away. She was very efficient and kept in touch all along the way. Our minister, Robert, was amazing! He made the whole experience fun, and stress free. Our day was absolutely perfect. I would recommend A Paradise Dream Wedding to anyone planning their big day in Maui.

My wedding was perfect and I would not change a thing! The team at A Paradise Dream made everything super easy. Jayanne is a sweetheart, and expert. All of her suggestions were spot on. She took the time to get to know us and what we wanted. She kept in touch with us throughout the year, answering all of my questions and making recommendations to address them. She made sure she was the first to welcome us the moment we landed in Maui, and kept in touch until the wedding. Working with her gave me full confidence and peace of mind--I knew that everything would go just as expected. But everything was more perfect than I expected! Our officiant Robert was a great fit for us! His personality fit ours, which made our wedding personalized, relaxed and fun! Branden Sequiera was our photographer and day of coordinator. I cannot say enough about how amazing he was. Where to start...He is a true professional. His friendly, relatable demeanor made us comfortable. He clearly is an expert! Robert and Branden spent time getting to know my groom, and helped him and everyone stay relaxed and excited while waiting for me. I strongly recommend A Paradise Dream! All I can say is, they made the day of our dreams come to life better than we imagined!!!

I don’t even know where to start! Our wedding was truly a paradise dream! I have everyone on the team to thank! Jayanne was awesome! Jackie did my hair/makeup and it was amazing! Pastor Robert “Kuya” made our ceremony absolutely beautiful! Brian and Branden captured every moment perfectly, we constantly get compliments on our photos! Our two amazing guitarist had the best personalities and really set the mood! Our day of coordinator, Shena made me feel as if nothing could go wrong... and nothing did! I’m not the greatest with words but thank you all from the bottom of my heart! You guys made our day more perfect than I imagined!

Brandon did an amazing job with our photos. He was able to capture the most stunning pictures of the background of the sky and the ocean and was very dedicated to making sure there was a good variety of poses. I couldn't be happier to have worked with Brandon and the pictures speak for themselves as far as how talented he is.

A paradise dream wedding made our dreams come true! I could not have asked for a better team of people to rely on and trust! Everything turned out absolutely perfect. Jayann (wedding coordinater) was so sweet and wonderful, Brian (the video recorder) did a beautiful job on our video, Branden (the photographer) blew me away with how perfect our photos were and the minister was so wonderful as well, so sweet, funny and kind. I would not change a thing if I had it to do over! If you want your dreams to come true, this is the place!

The afternoon before my wedding day I was lying on the beach going over last minute details with Jayanne and feeling so grateful that I made the decision to have A Paradise Dream Wedding plan our wedding. I was relaxed knowing that Jayanne had everything organized and we could simply savour the day. And that’s exactly what we did! Our wedding was exactly what we hoped for. We had the most beautiful morning and beach all to ourselves. Everyone from Adam, our minister to Brian, out videographer to Kyle and Lena, our photographers did a fabulous job! The entire team made us feel so comfortable and at ease knowing they had it all in their competent hands. It still brings me joy when I look at our photos and video. Thank you again to Jayanne and everyone from A Paradise Dream Wedding!

Overall, my experience with A Paradise Dream Wedding was great! Jayanne was always helpful and available to answer any questions I had. She was a great coordinator and assisted in every way imaginable and more. We are located in Idaho, so it was nice to have someone that was trustworthy. The photographer and hair/makeup provider were both fantastic and professional. It seems that they only use great people. There were a few issues that came up that were out of the hands of anyone. They were handled with communication and grace. I would use them again in a heartbeat and would recommend them to anyone.

Ten years ago my husband and I chose A Paradise Dream Wedding to coordinate and photograph our beautiful Maui wedding. Jayanne made it super easy back then to plan our destination wedding. She was always prompt when returning emails and phone calls and full of helpful information. She was always positive, upbeat, friendly and reassuring. Our wedding was magical for us and our guests... our pictures were absolutely stunning, and dripping with the intense color and natural splendor you can only find in a tropical locale such as Maui. Our photographers back then were Gordon and Arien. They were both professional and down to earth and very polite to us and our guests. This past June we celebrated our 10 year anniversary and decided to go back to Maui with our two little boys and renew our vows. Jayanne once again coordinated everything in her normal flawless fashion. She handles everything, from the flowers to hotel recommendations, she will have your back through it all. She also helped coordinate a special surprise that my husband had for me. He had been learning in secret to play the ukelele and played our song for me during our ceremony and wrote one of his own. Jayanne, the videographer, minister and photographer all worked together to help my husband keep this hidden from me until our ceremony began. What a special, wonderful day! We just received our photographs from Branden Jon Sequeira and I honestly don't have words. He is incredibly talented and not only are these pictures incredibly beautiful, they also capture the true heart and soul of our family. He was super fun to work with, and very nice to my guests and worked well with my children, which is high praise because as we know, kids are not the easiest people to photograph. I will treasure these works of art forever. Our videographer was also an artist and captured all of the touching and funny moments of our ceremony. We have enjoyed watching it over and over and showing all of our friends...and Ernest, our minister was so wonderful and wise. It all came together so beautifully. I highly recommend ditching your mainland wedding plans and taking the show on the road. A destination wedding is so much fun and honestly so much more affordable than a traditional wedding. And if you have an anniversary coming up, renew your vows and come home with breathtaking images that you could not get anywhere else. Make sure to call A Paradise Dream Wedding because they are the BEST hands down.

Leading up to the wedding, Jayanne was wonderful! She handed EVERYTHING. We were eloping and just wanted everything perfect, since it was going to be just us two! Anytime I would have questions or freaking out about anything, I'd email her and she was on it. Quick responses! The day we landed in Maui, she called me. The morning of the wedding, she called me. She stressed that up until the time of the wedding, call her but after that, the photographer Branden S will be taking over. Which he was awesome!! My pictures are amazing. My hair and make up lady was Andrea and she was great as well. I was told by Branden that for some reason my head flower piece was missing from the flower order but he knew he had paper work showing we paid for one. He mentioned that he could not get in touch with Jayanne which is why he called me. After a little bridal crying moment he called me back to let me know he had a friend who was able to make me a head piece last minute (which is apparently unheard of due to them being time consuming) in the mean time I tried to call Jayanne multiple times and there was no answer. We drove to the ceremony site and everything was beautiful. My head piece was beautiful! After the ceremony, I still did not hear from Jayanne. I did not get a follow up or an explanation as to why she was not available to reach during the flower fiasco. I never received an email for thanking me for the tips I left. I don't know if I would ever use this company again! I would however totally recommend the photographer Brandon Sequeria. He was awesome! Definitely went above and beyond my expectations!

This vendor has made wedding planning seamless!

We booked a vacation to Maui and decided to get married while we were there. We researched several companies on the island and A Paradise Dream Wedding was the one that stood out to us. We wanted an affordable, hassle-free day, and Jayanne made this happen for us. She was extremely helpful and ensured that everything was in place from hair and make-up to even ensuring that the minister included some specific vows in our ceremony, and everything in between. Robert was our minister, and he was so sweet and genuine. None of our family was able to come with us to Maui, so we had our ceremony videoed. Brian (the videographer) sent us the link to our video to share that same night! The one thing that was most important to us was the photographs, and we could not have been more pleased. Gordon and Sebastian were great to work with and gave us exactly what we wanted. And what's even better is that we received the files for all of our photos in less than a month! They were both very friendly, and Sebastian even gave us activity and dinner recommendations. To top it all off, our wedding location was the most beautiful place I had ever seen! A quiet cove with beautiful lava rock and huge crashing waves and an amazing sunset! We had a wonderful experience with this company and could not have asked for anything more. Everything went perfectly smooth, everyone was incredibly friendly, and it was very affordable. Our wedding was exactly what we wanted and we could not have dreamed of a more perfect wedding for us!

My husband and I had an amazing experience from the beginning working with A Paradise Dream Wedding! Every time I e-mailed or called Jayanne, our wedding coordinator, she got back to me right away and made sure everything was taken care of. I could not have dreamed of a more perfect wedding thanks to her incredible planning. A week before our wedding she had to change our minister and we could not have been happier with her choice. We were fortunate enough to get Robert (Kuya) Alamodin. He was so much fun and performed a beautiful heartfelt ceremony for us. Everything turned out perfect! Jayanne also made sure that we had the best musician and an onsite coordinator,JJ, that took care of everything. She was great! Not only did she have everything set up down on the beach, but she helped calm my nerves when I arrived and saw that it was raining. Once our videographer (Brian) and photographers (Gordon Nash & Brandon Vincent) got to the beach they were patient enough to wait for the rain to pass, which didn't last long. Everyone was so kind and nice about everything! The next day we were able to watch our wedding video that Brian put together. We could not believe how fast he got it done. I have never heard of anyone getting to see their wedding video the next day and have it be so beautiful. We are in love with it and still can't stop watching it! Not to mention our photos that Gordon and Brandon took...WOW! They are breathtaking!! We could not be more pleased with all of them and how fast we got them back. We were expecting to wait over a month but we got them back within a few weeks. Both Gordon and Brandon were a lot of fun to work with and we were very impressed with everything everyone at A Paradise Dream Wedding did for us. Our wedding was definitely a dream come true thanks to everyone's hard work and professionalism at A Paradise Dream Wedding.

A Paradise Dream Wedding was great! We loved our photographer Branden Sequeira! He was really nice and would listen to any suggestions we had for the pictures too. Jayanne was our coordinator and it was so nice that she contacted the minister and photographer for us. Looking forward to another vow renewal!

Very pleased with our wedding! Jayanne, our wedding coordinator, was very personable, kind and resourceful when it came to planning our small destination wedding in Maui. When it came to different upgrade options, I didn't feel pressured to buy up. Jayanne was very reasonable when it came down to explaining things that were necessary vs. unnecessary to have in order to create a nice memorable wedding. She was also very understanding and flexible when I was changing my mind on location, set up, etc. Our photographer, Brandon, was super nice and very creative with his photos! We could not have asked for a better company to plan and capture moments of our special day. Thank you A Paradise Dream Wedding!!

Working with Jayanne & Arien for our wedding was wonderful! My husband and I cannot say enough positive things about these two! Jayanne was always very prompt to respond to e-mails and even went out of her way to recommend restaurants and activities to make our honeymoon perfect! Arien was fabulous - our pictures are incredible and his laid back personality made our wedding evening so relaxed! I 100% recommend A Paradise Dream Wedding!

I was really skeptical using a company I had never heard of before but we were on a very tight budget for the wedding. The pictures were very important to us so we wanted to make sure we got every penny worth and http://www.wedgo.net/ did exactly that! We chose photographer for the big day and he was AMAZING! He was prompt, professional, and SO easy to work with. Other than their great personalities, the pictures we received were more beautiful than we could've imagined. It was difficult finding one that we didn't love! We are thrilled that we used Wedgo and will recommend them to everyone!

Jayanne was an extremely organized and professional wedding planner. Her attention to detail was appreciated. She left no doubt in our minds we were in good hands right from the beginning. Jayanne guided us to create the most perfect day. Branden (our photographer) was very helpful in showing us how we could make our wedding creative and unique to us. One of my favorite ideas he came up with was how to incorporate the landscape of Maui while respecting our traditional values. We would highly recommend Jayanne and Branden to help you organize your special day..

A Paradise Dream Wedding was Amazing to work with! They handled everything from wedding planning to the actual event flawlessly. Having our wedding video available the next day, made for some happy family members. We would definitely recommend this company. Thank you for everything ♡

Aloha from Tokyo, Japan!!! I can't believe one whole month has gone by since our wedding day - May 14, 2016! I'm a local Maui girl currently residing in Japan, where I met my husband. We always knew we wanted to get married on a beach on the southside of the island where I grew up. The team at A Paradise Dream Wedding made this possible and our beautiful ceremony was just as we imagined it to be. The best thing was that everything could be booked together with their packages - the coordinator, minister, and photographer. This made the whole planning process much easier! Since getting our photos from our photographer Branden about a week ago, we've been smiling and reminiscing non-stop. Mahalo nui loa!!!

Our Dream Wedding! Nothing I can say could translate the gratitude we have for you, your team, your execution, and delivery from the months leading up to and especially the day of. You have far exceeded anything I could have imagined. Thank you so much for making our dream wedding come true. Thank you! Stuart and Korin Miller

Best Decision Ever! Jayanne, Gordon, and staff were a delight to work with! We came from Georgia with 13 family members in tow. Jayanne was fabulous to deal with. She answered ever question, was easy to talk to and also get in contact with, even though we had an 8 hour time difference. She helped me navigate setting up our wedding and her suggestions and attention to detail were great. I spent a lot of time discussing hair and make-up and a video. I thought that it was a waste of money at the time, but Jayanne won me over, and boy was she right. I am so glad I listened to her on hair and make-up. Caroline did my make-up and was amazing. I looked flawless and ready for my day. Brian did our video and even my husband said it was worth every penny and so much more. He captured our beautiful ceremony and I think we have watched it a dozen times already. Jayanne made me feel comfortable about the whole process and helped in selected everything. Gordon was my photographer and I can't even begin to describe how wonderful he is. His photos are amazing and he captured every pose that I wanted. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. This is truly the best company and group of photographers on the island. I can't wait to come back and when I do, I'll be contacting Jayanne to set up photos again!

Best decision ever! Jayanne, Gordon, and everyone involved were amazing. Perfect doesn't even begin to describe the day of my wedding. We came all the way from Georgia to get married in Hawaii with 13 guest in tow. Jayanne was amazing and easy to talk to. She put my mind at ease and answered every question. She also provided a great guide with suggestions and things to think about. I am glad I listened to Jayanne. She suggested hiring someone to do make-up and hair and to also do a video. I thought this would be a waste of money but boy was I wrong. So happy I had my hair and make-up done professionally and Jayanne was right, it was worth every penny and a whole lot more. And I am so glad I had Brian film our wedding. Not only did Brian capture the wedding, he captured so much more. My husband and I have watched the video several times already and even my husband admits that it was the right decision to have the ceremony filmed. Jayanne is wonderful, knowledgeable and amazing at her job. Gordon was my photographer and was fabulous. I have never seen such beautiful pictures. He was so accommodating and patient with the older family members. Hands down would do it all over again! You won't regret working with company and I believe they are the best the island has!

Jayanne at A Paradise Dream Wedding was really helpful when planning our wedding. With planning a wedding from so far away it was nice only having one person to contact with all of my questions. Jayanne answered my questions in a timely fashion and provided me with helpful ideas and suggestions. Everything on the day of the wedding when really smoothly. Gordon Nash, our photographer, and his assistant were really nice to work with, their ideas and direction were very clear, making the photo shoot move along nicely. We really enjoyed the sneak peek pictures before we got all of our photos. Thank you again for everything. H & R November 24, 2015

We want to tell Gordon, how thankful we are for working with us! We made the right choice to pick Gordon as our photographer on this important day. We were amazed by his enthusiasm and how well he was able to capture those beautiful moments! We can't imagine our wedding ceremony without his help. Gordon, you did a huge job for us and we appreciate it! Our photos look awesome, perfect, amazing, incredible, magic, fantastic!!! I can keep going so forever!!! :) Now you are our friend and we wish you creative mood for every day, big success in your art life and many beautiful people around you! :* Thank you so much Gordon! -- Maria and Maxim

We hired Gordon Nash from a paradise dream wedding as our photographer. He was great to work with the day of and his photos are beautiful. Ariel was the 2nd shooter and Mami did editing. We were very happy to have all of them work on our photography.

I planned our wedding from 5000 miles away.I was skeptical at first, but our planner Jayanne Jefferys,knew the answers to all my questions and had many other hints on how to be ready and organized. Things went just as she said and she was very quick to answer questions I left in an email or by phone. She walked me through the plans every day.The flowers she ordered for us were just as requested and exceeded our wishes. The photographer was Mamie Horie.She along with Brian Rothsteen, the videographer were very imaginative, organized and professional and we never noticed them during the wedding. We were so happy when the video was posted 5 hrs. after the wedding and again when we saw the first cut of some of the photos the next day. The minister was Pastor Laki Ka’ahumanu and I can only say he brought a real sense of Hawaiian history and culture to our spiritual wedding. He is a wonderful man, full of joy,life,and happiness. Pia and I both felt wonderful about the day and it was so much more special because of the help and care we received from all the people I have mentioned.We are very grateful to them all.

Jayanne was our wedding coordinator and we were extremely pleased with her. She is very knowledgeable, organized, brings the best team to work with you. Planning a wedding remotely, sometimes it can be scary but Jayanne knows the right people to make your day perfect. We really loved our Minister Robert and Videographer Brian. Both were very friendly and easy to talk to. Jayanne was recommended to us by our friends who used her for their own wedding and we would recommend Jayanne for your wedding as well!

The entire dream team was amazing! The minister Robert was the perfect choice for us, Ernest our guitar player/singer was incredible! Not to mention the video and photography captured the true essence of who we are as a couple!! We are so glad we chose you to arrange our wedding as you fulfilled everyone of our wishes to a tee. You all made our day so stress free and wonderful as it was meant to be. You all gave us true wedding paradise dream realized! Thank you all so much!

This was our first trip to Hawaii and our wedding day was a perfect, stress free day. We could not have been more happy with everyone that worked on our wedding. From the first day I spoke with Jayanne, when I was still looking for the perfect photographer and planner, I knew I made the right choice. Jayanne made everything so easy, it only took a couple phone calls and emails for the plan to come together. She knew from the beginning how important it was for us to have an experience we would never forget and also the pictures and video to help us relive those memories whenever we wanted. Jackie did my hair and makeup and she was so much fun! I had the best time getting ready and had no stress at all! Once we arrived at the wedding, we met Laki, our minister. He was absolutely perfect for us! He made our ceremony so much fun. Jayanne couldn’t of known it at the time, but booking him for our wedding was a perfect fit. We will never forget him and how perfect he made our ceremony. Our guitarist, Louise was wonderful. She even sang special requested songs that we had with no problem at all. Brian was our videographer and our video was so much more than we ever expected. It not only captured the ceremony, but also all the emotion that we felt that day. He stayed through our entire photo shoot catching video even after the ceremony. We never imagined we would get all that we did. When we got to watch the video it truly took us back to that moment. It was absolutely amazing. Gordon was our photographer. He was the reason we booked with Paradise Dreams. I knew that I wanted the perfect photographs from our wedding and after looking at Gordon’s portfolio I knew I would get it. He was great to work with and gave us exactly what we wanted from our pictures. It was a bonus to also have Mami at our wedding as a second photographer and also photo editor. She did an amazing job. Our pictures were everything we could have hoped for and more. They captured our special intimate moments and also the laughs that we shared on our special day. I was so anxious to see our photos and Gordon and Mami even emailed us a sneak peak the night after the ceremony. I was so excited. Everything turned out even better than we could of ever imagined. Everything was beautiful and the location and weather was perfect. Thank you to everyone at Paradise Dreams for truly making our dream come true. We are so glad we got “Maui’d” with Paradise Dreams! Bethany & Chance

Although we got married on the Big Island we used A Paradise Dream for all of our wedding photos. They had two people fly over from Maui just to shoot the wedding and reception and were absolutely amazing to work with. This team of photographers is extremely reliable and had such a great eye. From start to finish we had such an incredible experience working with them and are so excited to see our pictures!

Our Maui wedding was a dream come true, thanks in large part to Jayanne and a Paradise Dream Wedding. Jayanne was patient and helpful every step of the way. We couldn't have pulled off our perfect day without her! We feel so lucky to have had Arien as our photographer. The photos are beautiful and he made the experience fun and relaxing. The photo retouching turned out so natural looking. Brian, the videographer was really helpful with instructions and gathering people for photos/video. He had such creative ideas to include in the video. What a great way to remember our special day. Robert was our minister and he did an amazing ceremony. It was a perfect blend of heartfelt words and a touch of humor. His Hawaiian attire was just what we hoped for. Hale played the ukele beautifully and it really helped to create the perfect exotic Hawaiian mood. Andrea did my in room hair and makeup and really captured the look I wanted. She was funny and helpful and I'm so glad she was there to help me get ready. On the day it was Shena, the insite coordinator that helped things run smoothly. She passed messages back and forth and got me where I needed to be ... it made the day much less stressful :) We really couldn't have asked for a better group of people to help make our dreams come true! We truly felt the aloha spirit and couldn't be more great full ♡

I began planning our wedding almost two years ago after reading many reviews and seeing Gordon’s work. When I stumbled across A Paradise Dream Wedding, I looked no further! I constantly checked the website and kept up with Jayanne’s blog, watching as couple after couple got married and had their photos uploaded, dreaming of “our” day (May 4th, 2015)! Every picture seemed so gorgeous and I couldn’t wait to see how ours would turn out. It is so amazing to finally have “our” pictures! Every time I look at them I am transported back to re-live all the emotions of that incredible day! It is literally overwhelming! I was amazed that we received all of our photos in less than 3 weeks and was absolutely thrilled to receive the sneak peek, which allowed me to have photo wedding announcements printed as soon as we returned from our honeymoon! Gordon has an amazing gift and made us feel at ease the entire time. It was so special…we felt like we were on the set of a movie! Mami was so sweet and very talented as well. She communicated with me the entire time after the wedding with updates and texts about our photos. Brian worked his magic and we had a wedding video to share with our family and friends on the mainland that very evening…how does he do it?! I cry every time I watch it and so does everyone else! Liz played the guitar beautifully and was definitely a wonderful addition to our day. Ernest was the absolute perfect minister for us…the ceremony was everything we hoped it would be. Shena was our on-site coordinator who guided us through the experience and helped calm the nerves and answer all of our questions the day of. Andrea came to my hotel room and did my hair and make-up and helped me with my dress…she definitely got the day started off right and was so pleasant and friendly! I was very pleased with how my hair and make-up turned out. Jayanne helped me plan everything and made it so easy! I don’t know how she keeps track of everything and everyone! We cannot wait to come back to Maui very soon and we are already dreaming of our 10 year vow renewal with A Paradise Dream Wedding! Mahalo from the bottom of our hearts, Victoria & Jason

When my husband and I first decided we wanted a destination wedding, we had no idea where to turn or even where to start. Internet searches eventually led us to Maui. There were a number of wedding planners on the island that all seemed to offer similar services. Paradise Dream’s amazing pictures and great reviews are what initially stood out. After talking with Jayanne we were confident Paradise Dream was it for us. Not only did Jayanne help plan our wedding, she gave the best travel advice and recommended some of the yummiest restaurants. She even called the evening before we left for Maui to go over last minute wedding and travel details. (And to make sure I wasn’t freaking out) ☺ The morning of the wedding, our Hair/Makeup stylist Caroline came to our room. If you are considering adding In-Room Hair/Makeup, do it! I had a couple pictures of what I wanted done and Caroline did exactly that. Not to toot my our horn, but I looked absolutely stunning thanks to her :) When we arrived at The Cove for the ceremony, our onsite coordinator Shena, photographer Arien, and videographer Brian were there to greet us. Shena was the absolute best moral support for the ceremony. I was a nervous wreck and she knew exactly what to say to calm me down. I couldn’t have asked for a better support person!! I’ve heard horror stories of disaster wedding photos so I couldn’t help but feel anxious about how our photos and video would turn out. But let me just say, WOW what amazing work they do! I’ve never been very photogenic, but both Brian and Arien captured so many beautiful shots! Family and friends were blown away by how beautiful our photos and wedding video turned out. Our officiator was Robert, and he was the sweetest!! Our vows and everything he had to say were so genuine and straight from the heart. Robert was the perfect person to lead our ceremony! His passion made us even more excited about our future and the years to come. By the end I wanted to shrink him into a miniature size and take him home with us ☺ I couldn’t be happier we chose Paradise Dream. Everyone went above and beyond to make our special day absolutely perfect! The best advice I can give to any future Paradise Dream bride is to RELAX! You are in great hands and I am confident your big day will be as amazing as ours was! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING PARADISE DREAM!

We had our dream wedding in August! The Paradise Dream wedding team did an incredible job. Everyone says something will go wrong on your wedding day and I was lucky that nothing major did thanks to the great help we received from Paradise Dream. We decided to do both the trash the dress photography and the wedding day photography. Arien our photographer did a phenomenal job! The pictures are breathtaking and so gorgeous we can't even believe that they are real. He made us feel comfortable even though it isn't always easy to be photographed for hours. Jayanne our coordinator did an excellent job of organizing all of the little details of our day from the hair and make up to the beautiful ceremony even down to the little detail of releasing butterflies. She made things painless and we couldn't have asked for better service. Our minister did a fantastic job of providing a traditional Hawaiian ceremony and it really was the most amazing moment in our lives. Thank you to all of the staff that participated in our special day and if you are looking for amazing service book your wedding with Paradise Dream today!!

Our experience with Paradise Dream was above and beyond anything we could have ever expected. We planned our wedding from San Francisco, never visiting Maui throughout the entire process. I had never been to the island before and Jayanne was there from beginning to end, with absolutely anything I needed and it worked out just as she and I planned and prepared for - only better. We could not be happier with our wedding photos, Gordon and Mami outdid themselves and our time with them gave us some of the greatest memories of our wedding day that we will cherish forever. I cannot stress how incredible Richardo and John were during our ceremony. Richardo took every single note that I provided to heart and officiated one of the most beautiful wedding ceremonies I have ever attended. John made the day extra special with a personalized song and the most perfect and authentic rendition of 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' while I walked the aisle. We will forever have a special place in our hearts for that song and we appreciate it so much. Lastly, Shena was there to ensure our wedding day went as smoothly as we planned and she, once again, outdid our wildest expectations. She walked us through everything and stood there to make sure it all worked out without a problem. We are forever grateful to everyone at Paradise Dream and we would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone looking to get married in magical Maui. You will not regret it!

This is a lengthy review altho it's been edited as there's a 3500-character limit 😐 This is part of the thank-you letter I sent afterwards. Rest assured your special day is in the best hands possible! When John proposed over 10 years ago, we knew we wanted a destination wedding. Having worked for a photographer that did weddings as well as family portraits, I've seen some amazing work...and sadly, some pretty tragic work. All I wanted was to get married somewhere hot & have our special day captured by someone whose photography style and skills would meet or exceed my (admittedly very high) expectations. After all, it takes someone pretty amazing to be able to take those memories you have in your head & heart then transform them into something tangible that takes you right back to that moment in time... As soon as I came across Gordon's website, I knew we had to have him shoot our wedding. We booked immediately & 6 months later on May 4th, 2005 we were wed by the illustrious Reverend Tino on beautiful Makena Cove Beach. The entire planning process was completely stress-free: we pretty much just had to obtain our wedding license a few days beforehand, get ourselves ready & show up. It was an incredible day! I can't tell you how many people said our images were 'surreal' & 'like a postcard'...some even accused us of having a fake backdrop! We knew we wanted to come back to renew our vows for our 10-year anniversary & at the 5-year mark, we started seriously talking about making it happen (I also started dropping hints about the ring aka my 'war medal'). Being a self-admitted Type-A personality & a bit of a perfectionist/control freak, I contacted the fabulous Jayanne about 18 months prior as I had to have the same date, location, Gordon and, of course Reverend Tino. Jayanne was awesome to deal with: on the ball with all the details, very accommodating with our requests, knowledgeable and always upbeat & positive--I loved getting her voicemails because they radiated the spirit of aloha (I'm smiling as I type this). Fast-forward 10 years to the day to us and our 3 kids: Dario & twins Makena & Marco. It is beyond words to describe how it felt to stand on the same beach, with Gordon & Reverend Tino, most of our guests who attended our first wedding plus our kids--all who were there to witness us renew our vows and profess our love for one another. To say it was amazing is an understatement. This time around was as stress-free as it can be with 3 small children 😂 & our ceremony was a little more lighthearted (I may have subbed in 'for richer or for richer')! We were so happy to receive a 'sneak peek' a couple days later of a few of the images that Mami had worked her editing magic on & were thrilled that we had made it onto your Instagram account! We declared ourselves famous & immediately shared them with everyone we knew (we couldn't help ourselves)! We didn't think it was possible to exceed the quality of our original wedding photos, but every image was absolutely stunning. Thank you for your incredible talents that made our family's special day unforgettable & allowing us to have something concrete to share with our loved ones who were unable to be with us that day. You can't put a price tag on memories & these will be treasured by our family for years to come.

In starting our journey looking up wedding information, we came across a paradise dream wedding. Jayanne our coordinator, was excellent answered all the questions we had, booked us all our appointments. The day of our wedding March 4, 2015, Andrea my hair and makeup artist showed up on time at 6am. Ahhh early early!! She did an amazing job with my hair and makeup, even without seeing or working on my me beforehand. I showed her a few pictures and she ran with it. :-) Shena, was our onsite coordinator and was excellent at keeping everyone happy... even when we had to go to plan B because of the rain. Laki our minister and Ernest our guitarist both did an amazing job!! I really have to give a big thank you to our photographers Gordon and Mami. With the weather we ended up a little behind schedule and at a different location. Giving the tight space we had, Gordon and Mami were able to capture some incredible ceremony and family pictures. I think they're ninjas! :-D For our couple photos we headed back to our hotel and shot what we could. Like I said before, the photos turned out beautiful~ we even purchased the photo album! Our photo album turned out great! Fast excellent shipping. If you're reading this review- please have no doubt in this team! Mahalo Mr. & Mrs. Buchholz

When Mark and I first visited Maui in 2008 we fell in love with the aloha spirit and beauty of the island and always said that Maui would be the place that we would get married one day. We choose A Paradise Dream Wedding to be a part of our special day and it truly was our dream wedding, we are so incredibly happy on how everything went. This day could not of gone so perfectly hadn't it been for Jayanne, she planned our special day for years with us and always answered our questions with ease and professionalism, planning our wedding from Vancouver, BC was stress free and we honestly believe that is due to Jayanne and her expertise. The pictures that Gordon and Mami took on our special day are breathtaking and look like there are right out of a magazine, Gordon and Mami were amazing to work with and they captured our special moments on our wedding day beautifully. The pictures Arien took on our morning shoot were just as incredible, Arien was just as amazing to work with and made us feel very comfortable and at ease. We are very thankful to have such gorgeous pictures to cherish forever. Ian did an outstanding job at recording our incredible day, we have a video of our entire ceremony that we have watched numerous times now as everyone wants to see it. Our minister Laki has such a great character and presence about him, he truly made our ceremony everything we could of ever hoped for and more :) Our guitarist Ernest sang Over the Rainbow and Marry me beautifully, and Shena our onsite coordinator was lovely and made sure everything went smoothly. Last but not least Andrea and Caroline who did the hair and makeup for myself and three bridesmaids did a beautiful job, I absolutely loved my hair! Thank you to everyone who played a part in our wedding day. I would highly recommend A Paradise Dream Wedding, they went above and beyond to make our special day truly incredible. Alisha & Mark Bordeleau Married at Makena Cove on July 27, 2015

Wow! These pictures are amazing!!! I am so excited. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and time. You are all so talented. We love the pictures and the video. I have watched it a bunch of times already, and now I can't stop looking at the wonderful pictures!! Thank you so much! :) Lindsey & Joshua

When my husband and I first decided we wanted a destination wedding, we had no idea where to turn or even where to start. Internet searches eventually led us to Maui. There were a number of wedding planners on the island that all seemed to offer similar services. Paradise Dream’s amazing pictures and great reviews are what initially stood out. After talking with Jayanne we were confident Paradise Dream was it for us. Not only did Jayanne help plan our wedding, she gave the best travel advice and recommended some of the yummiest restaurants. She even called the evening before we left for Maui to go over last minute wedding and travel details. (And to make sure I wasn’t freaking out) ☺ The morning of the wedding, our Hair/Makeup stylist Caroline came to our room. I had a couple pictures of what I wanted done and Caroline did exactly that. Not to toot my own horn, but I looked absolutely stunning thanks to her :) When we arrived at The Cove for the ceremony, our onsite coordinator Shena, photographer Arien, and videographer Brian were there to greet us. Shena was the absolute best moral support for the ceremony. I was a nervous wreck and she knew exactly what to say to calm me down. I couldn’t have asked for a better support person!! I’ve heard horror stories of disaster wedding photos so I couldn’t help but feel anxious about how our photos and video would turn out. But let me just say, WOW what amazing work they do! I’ve never been very photogenic, but both Brian and Arien captured so many beautiful shots! Family and friends were blown away by how beautiful our photos and wedding video turned out. Our officiator was Robert, and he was the sweetest!! Our vows and everything he had to say were so genuine and straight from the heart. Robert was the perfect person to lead our ceremony! His passion made us even more excited about our future and the years to come. By the end I wanted to shrink him into a miniature size and take him home with us ☺ I couldn’t be happier we chose Paradise Dream. Everyone went above and beyond to make our special day absolutely perfect! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING PARADISE DREAM!

I contacted "A Paradise Dream wedding" last year to inquire about their photography because it looked amazing on their website, and happily found out that they also coordinate everything I needed for my ceremony. We wanted a beach wedding with our closet family. Wedding planner/Coordinator: .Jayanne was my wedding coordinator and she was absolutely amazing - We remained in constant contact through email/phone; she responds right away to email and answered any questions I had along the way. The ceremony was tailored to exactly what we wanted. She truly put my mind at ease, since planning a wedding so far away from home was scary! I trusted her with all details, and she did a wonderful job. She arranged my Marriage License appointment, Ceremony site, the Photographer, Minister, Videographer, Hair Stylist, and Musician. She even gave me a bunch of names and contacts for Hotels, condos, places to eat, and activities to do. Every person she provided to me was the best. She gave me clear instructions on the wedding day process (including an itinerary!) which I gave to my family members too. She was always friendly and caring; I can't say enough good things about Jayanne. She truly made my wedding day a stress-free and enjoyable time - A time where I could truly focus on the meaning of our vows and not worry about any planning. Here are the people that Jayanne arranged for me - the best! Photographer: Arien - Great guy! He made us feel very comfortable. During our ceremony I didn't even know he was taking pictures, he's very good at blending right in so we can focus on being in the natural setting. From his portfolio we have seen online, I'm sure when we get our pictures back - they will be amazing! Onsite person: Shena - what a sweet heart! She was so calm and collected. Once I stepped out of my car, she was there with everything I needed (including my Flowers). She ran through the process with me and stayed by my side to answer any questions. Minister: Ernest – true Christian minister, spoke right from the heart. You can tell he really cares about each ceremony he does and his words are so simple and beautiful. Videographer: Brian – our video came out amazing! He was positioned in all the right places; we had him video the ceremony and he even put in some very cool moving photo shots and still pictures. We were able to give him a couple of our favorite songs and he put them in the video too. He emailed me right away after our ceremony with a website link and all our family and friends could watch the video from home! Hair& Make up: Andrea - She took what I thought was a difficult hair style and completed it with ease. My hair looked amazing! And my make up was flawless. Musician: Louise – She sang and played the guitar beautifully, she even learned a new song that I asked her to play.

Everyone at A Paradise Dream Wedding was amazing! Jayanne our coordinator was easy to work with and made sure all my questions were answered before our big day. All emails were promptly responded to. Gordon our photographer was also wonderful. Our pictures look amazing! Andrea (who contacts with A Paradise Dream Wedding) was also great! My hair and makeup made me feel so beautiful and natural!

My fiancee and I traveled to Hawaii for celebrating our engagement. We had a great experience with Paradise Dream Wedding and had Gordon Nash as our photographer. Gordon and his assistant were very nice and took lot of great photos for us. They were easy to work with and we chatted together like friend. We highly recommend the "Maui Photo Tour 3 Locations package",which you can experience 3 different parts of Maui, beach, forest and small town life. You can get different styles of photos in each place. Gordon replied our emails promptly and we got our digital copies soon after we back from Hawaii.

My husband and I were just married yesterday, and although we have only seen the snapshots on the camera screen so far, there is no doubt that our photos are everything we had hoped for and more. Gordon was awesome; very patient and creative, and knowledgeable about how to get the best photo opportunities. Watching him get excited about the sunset that we had in the background was truly contagious to igniting our own excitement, and we can't wait to see the final product! If we had to do it all over again, there would be no hesitation to make the same choice. Words cannot express how thankful we are!

The photographer was simply amazing. Gordon Nash has a true gift. It was great to see a seasoned photographer as giddy as a new photographer when it came to shooting the wedding. And the speed at which he got us the prints, AMAZING! To get a text 1.5 days after the wedding with samples is huge surprise too. Everyone that has seen our pictures are amazed. Would definitely recommend Gordon and his crew!

Gordon Nash and Arien Sherman were the photographers for my 2013 June wedding in Kona Hawaii. The photographers were both really nice and they did a wonderful job of taking pictures of my family, friends, and I with beautiful scenic backgrounds.

I had a great experience with A Paradise Dream Wedding and Photographers Hawaii! As I'm sure is the case with most destination wedding brides, I was nervous about having not seen the location, not met any of the vendors, and in general just having to trust that planning it all from a distance would work out. Fortunately, it all worked out great! It even didn't matter that we didn't have a rehearsal. Jayanne was great in all of the aspects of long-distance planning, and Shena was great as the on-site coordinator at the wedding. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised how seamless everything was considering that we didn't have a rehearsal. Everything went great and we were both able to feel relaxed on the wedding day and to just enjoy the day and not have to worry. We were in very capable hands with Gordon Nash and Ian Shepherd as photographers, and we are very happy with the pictures we received after the wedding. I am definitely recommending A Paradise Dream Wedding to anyone else considering a Maui wedding.

We had both dreamed of a barefoot beach wedding in a beautiful location. Thanks to Paradise Dream Wedding and Photographers Hawaii our wedding at the gorgeous Makena Cove was just perfect! I chose Photographers Hawaii as I had seen Gordon Nash's photography online and I wanted him to photograph our wedding. We were fortunate to also have Ian taking photos on the day and together Gordon and Ian gave us the most beautiful memories of the best day of my life! Our friends and family have commented that some of the photos don't look real as they are so stunning with vibrant colours and vivid detail. We can't stop looking at them, even months later! The team was great to work with on the day; they were easy going but focused on getting the best results. They also made sure the experience was fun! They are true professionals who excel at their jobs! We had the digital copies of all our photos so quickly and in time to display them at our wedding celebration dinner back home in Australia only weeks later. We highly recommend Photographers Hawaii.

I could not have imagined a more perfect setting or ceremony for my wedding! Everyone I worked with through A Paradise Dream Wedding held a very high level of professionalism and quality for their services. The price was just right for our limited budget but the quality far exceeded the price!! Can't wait to return for family portraits!!

I did a lot of research online before booking with A Paradise Dream Wedding. After meeting with Jo in person I knew I had met the right person to plan my wedding! She is FANTASTIC!!! It was so nice having no worries and just showing up and walking down the sand! Ian was wonderful to work with and captured every moment of the wedding. When we got our pictures back I was beyond impressed!!! I would definitely recommend having a ukulele player. Thank you everyone! You made our dream wedding come true!!!:-)

Brandon our photographer was FANTASTIC. I love all of my pictures they are beyond what I imagined. I was a destination bride and Photographers Hawaii was very easy to work with.

I did the 2.15 hr package, as my photographer flew to Kona and did just our quick(15-20 min) beach ceremony then photos after. My biggest regret: not booking more time! I wanted water shots, and we ran out of light-my advice, figure out how long you need . . . .and add an hour! BRANDEN was our photographer and he was amazing! He is knowledgeable and focused, but not so much so that he wont ask you what you want and include shots,etc that you want/ask about.He is eager to please you and always keeps that at the forefront.But being such a casual event (and i planned from mainland and in like 2 months!) i was sooo grateful for his focus and organization that he brought- this ensured we got the best shots and the most for our time period as he kept things moving (but was never rushing us). He got the pics back to us in just under 3 weeks(norm is 4-8 weeks) and not only did he go above and beyond what the contract stipulated (ie what i paid for) but he also color corrected/edited many extra pics as well!!! All in All i am ecstatic with his work and him professionally.I happily and enthusiastically recommend Paradise dream wedding and Branden.

This company was a breeze to work with from beginning to end. Jo was so easy to talk to and made sure everything I wanted for my wedding was taken care of. Kimo, the officiant, was like family, even though we just meet. Three months later and we still talk about Kimo! Brandon is the best photographer ever! My pictures are amazing and I always get compliments on them. I loved every aspect of this wedding planning. It was easy, stress free, and perfect. I am so glad I went with this company and not some of the others that I found online.

Jo at A Paradise Dream Wedding is absolutely fantastic! From the moment I spoke to her on the phone, I knew she was going to make planning our destination wedding a breeze. She was so easy to work with and very helpful. Jo helped with everything from choosing which beach to get married on to picking the exact type of yellow orchid I wanted in my bouquet. She sent pictures of everything we needed to help us decide, which is crucial when planning from far away! The day of our wedding was absolutely beautiful and easy-going! I could not have even imagined it would be as wonderful as it was. My husband and I didn't even know anyone else was on the beach with us, including the 15 people that traveled with us! Kimo our officiant was great! He really helped to calm any nerves and made everyone laugh. The musician and on-site coordinator were good as well. Branden, our photographer, was fantastic! He made it so easy for us to pose for pictures. We didn't even know he was there during our ceremony. He did everything he could to get the "perfect" photos on the beach. They are absolutely breath-taking. If we had to do it over again, we wouldn't change a thing! Thank you Jo and Branden!

So Jayanne ended up being my wedding planner for the ceremony. This was one thing I didn't realize right away. She only plans for the ceremony part and deals directly through the coordinator at the ceremony location. I only gave her 3 stars because I had a real hard time in the beginning of the planning process. It took her atleast a week to get back and I had off 3 months and wanted to get a lot figured out in the beginning. Since she books the ceremony and it took so long for her to get back I lost out on some of the locations I desired. I also found that communicating only through email was difficult at times especially if I needed information right away. The last issue was that we never met in person. She has a wonderful onsite person but I didn't get to see her. The couple times I did call her I didn't get a call back. Other than those issues she did have a great personality and was a sweet woman. She also did give me some good ideas.

Did a good job with recommendations and follow-up. Everything was handled very well

Our photos are AMAZING, simply amazing!!! We are so thrilled that our photos turned out so great! Gordon Nash and his assistant Arien Sherman did a wonderful job!

We are so happy we chose A Paradise Dream Wedding to plan our Maui wedding. At first, I was hesitant about planning a wedding from so far away. I was sure something would go wrong or that I would be disappointed somehow...but when the day arrived, everything was above and beyond my highest expectations. The location was gorgeous. Our minister (Vance) was so warm and genuine, his ceremony truly heartfelt. Words cannot even express how awesome our photographer (Ian) was! He was so laid back and easy to work with, it was almost like hanging out with a good friend. Most importantly, the photos he took were simply stunning! People keep telling us the pictures are so beautiful, they can't even believe they're real! Our coordinator (Jo) was extremely helpful in planning every last detail, and she was even there on the big day to ensure that everything ran smoothly. Everything came together so perfectly. It was like a dream...we just arrived in this magical place and it was as if it had been there waiting for us all along. I could never have imagined such a beautiful wedding. It was everything I hoped it would be and more. As we were dancing our last dance, I looked up to see the full moon and the palm trees swaying above...and I cried tears of joy because I just knew, there had never been a more perfect day. We are so thankful that we found A Paradise Dream Wedding. Mahalo for making our Maui dream wedding come true! P.S. We left the same review for Photographers Hawaii, the photographers we used through APDW. http://www.theknot.com/Vendors/Photographers-Hawaii/Profile/PHO/195/263271/reviews

Gordon Nash photographed my wedding and the photos came out amazing. I was very picky about my photographer and I thought Nash's portfolios were what I wanted for my wedding. I am very happy I spent the extra money to get a good photographer. He was very friendly and brought an assistant photographer as well. He had my photos up on the website 14 days after the wedding.

I fell in love with Gordan Nash's style, and booked Ian Shepard for the big day. He was incredible! He's completely professional, very chill to work with and was just overall amazing. I love how my photos came out. I live in CA and had questions about his services during the planning part months before the wedding day. He was able to answer all of them in a friendly and professional manner and was just overall awesome. I love you Ian! Thanks for everything! ;)

We were very impressed with the services we received from A Paradise Dream Wedding. They took care of everything leading up to the wedding so we didn't feel stressed about anything. The week of the wedding we found out that the weather forecast for our special day was rainstorm. Jayanne was more than helpful in finding a backup site in case it did rain. They also offered us the possibility of having our ceremony and/or the couple photos taken another day. We can't emphasize enough how flexible Ian and Jayanne were. Fortunately the downpour didn't start until the evening and our wedding was in the morning, so it all worked out fine. However, we felt like we were in good hands, so had it rained we were confident that everything would have been taken care of. This allowed us to relax and enjoy ourselves. Before the ceremony, Cherie Sequeira (Maya's hair and makeup artist) got up at an obscene hour to get to our hotel in time to do Maya's hair and makeup. She exceeded all expectations. Maya's hair and makeup looked amazing and stayed in place from the morning ceremony to the evening reception, which went on until passed midnight. Our on-site coordinator (Shena) made sure that everything went smoothly on the big day. The officiant (Dennis) performed a very relaxed and friendly non-religious Hawaiian ceremony, just like we wanted. Our photographer, Ian Shepherd, was very friendly and professional. He made us feel relaxed and comfortable during the photo shoot, and consulted us regarding our preference in the type of photos and the setting. He wanted to make sure we went home with photos we were happy with. The photos looked beautiful, we were very impressed. Everyone we dealt with at A Paradise Dream Wedding made the whole event very easy and stress free. We are very happy with them and would definitely recommend their services to anyone!

We were extremely happy that we chose this company. Arien was our photographer, and he was easy to work with, creative and took beautiful photos. I love that they post your photos to website for you, and that you are given the digital files to print wherever you want.

Very pretty!

I chose Arien Sherman at A Paradise Dream Wedding, and he was just perfet. The pictures are amazing. He was very responsive to my questions and listened to the things that I wanted and did not want. I could not be happier with the photos!

This wedding vendor was fabulous in making every detail of our wedding perfect. They absolutely made planning this wedding from out of state (we are in Houston, Texas) stress-free. I was very worried about choosing a wedding planning company, especially with the site unseen, but I was very happy to see that everything turned out exactly as I had asked. I sent our consultant pictures via e-mail of everything that we wanted and they were able to make it happen. My husband and I wanted to make this special moment a once in a lifetime experience and it was. Now that it is all said & done we have our beautiful photos to remind us of our special day. Believe me, this is one area you do not want to skimp on! One area I maybe should've sought out on my own would be the leis I ordered for my bridal party. Although they were beautiful and were delivered perfectly, on the island of Hawaii, you can get leis for almost nothing. Planning this wedding was a lot less work than I thought it would be and overall, my husband and I were extremely satisfied with the professional quality that our wedding was handled with. Although they plan weddings every day, they still handled ours like the once-in-a-lifetime event that it was for us.
