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

Planned my Maui wedding from Michigan and Jayanne was so helpful every step of the way! My wedding day was exactly how I imagined, from hair/makeup to the flowers to photos by Kyle, it was everything I wanted! Highly recommend!

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!

Amazing experience! We got married with them 10 years ago and they did such a good job we came back and had them coordinate and photograph our 10 year vow renewal. Jayanne was incredibly helpful and responsive and the photography by Branden S. was absolutely incredible. I highly recommend them.

Our experience with A Paradise Dream Wedding was amazing! Jayanne and her team made everything so easy and enjoyable. She was in constant communication and made sure everything went seamlessly. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to get married in the Maui area. Also, our Minister Ernest and photographer Branden made our wedding day so special. Our pictures turned out amazing and we couldn't believe how quickly we got them back. Thank you to everyone at Paradise Dream Wedding for making our wedding day perfect and stress free

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.

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!

Look no further... You will LOVE everyone on this team! When we got the idea of getting married in Maui we started looking up wedding packages and photographers. I would go on each site and look at the the wedding photos to see what we had to pick from. When we came across the pictures of Gordon Nash we immediately emailed to see if he was available on the day we wanted. We were so lucky to get a fast response from Jayanne..and this was the start of it all! We basically communicated via email the whole time which worked great for us since we travel a lot and Maui is 6 hours behind us. Everything went JUST as Jayanne said it would... PERFECT! She really knows what she is talking about. Just trust her. When your day comes she will have it all organized and all you do is just enjoy.
The wedding day went perfect. Everyone was on time and did their part amazing. I just loved Jackie who came to my hotel room to do my hair and make-up. I am very particular about my make-up and hair and she did everything just as we talked about. We had Robbie as our officiant. He was amazing! He dressed Hawaiian and talked about love and family and took his time to make our ceremony memorable. We had Hale play guitar which was a nice touch. I love music and it just added a little something to the ceremony. Our videographer was Ceasar. I didn't know what to expect but he made us a video of the whole ceremony and the highlights of things going on that helped us remember the day. He gave us various forms of the video in HD (email, cd, jump drive) and even met up with us to deliver it personally. He made the video personal to us and we loved his work.
And of course i can not forget to mention Gordon Nash! Just look at some samples of his pictures to see what i am bragging about. We have so many beautiful photos that are artsy, creative, and fun. Gordon was so easy to work with and only someone with his experience and a good eye can capture what Gordon does.

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!

I just wanted to write a quick review about our experience with A Paradise Dream Wedding... the title says it all... our wedding was a dream. Our experience is probably a little different than most peoples... Jayanne worked with my husband to create a surprise engagement / wedding. I was absolutely blown away when the whole plan was unveiled to me.... every little detail was planned I did not have to worry about a thing. If I had to redo our whole wedding again... I wouldn't change a thing. The video and photos were amazing and we will treasure these for years to come. Thank you again to the team at A Paradise Dream Wedding for making my dream wedding come true!

Mahalo,
Erica & Lucas T.

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!

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 ♡

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 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!

We hired A Paradise Dream Wedding for our Maui wedding in June at the Olowalu Plantation House. We worked with Gordon and Arien the day of our wedding and were so pleased with their professionalism and great eye for capturing the beauty of our day. We were so excited to see the finished product and were thrilled with the results. Thank you so much Gordon and Arien and to Mami for the editing work.

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!

Rest assured your special day is in the best hands possible--this is only part of my thank you letter:
When my husband proposed over 10 years ago, we knew it'd be a destination wedding. Having worked for a wedding photographer, I've seen some amazing work & some pretty tragic work. All I wanted was to get married somewhere hot & have our special day captured by someone whose style & skills would exceed my very high expectations. It's not just anyone who can transform the memories in your heart & head into something tangible that takes you right back to that moment in time!
As soon as I saw Gordon's website I knew we had to have him! We booked immediately & 6 months later we were wed by the illustrious Reverend Tino on beautiful Makena Cove Beach. The entire process was stress-free: we just had to get our wedding license a few days before, get ready & show up. It was awesome! So many people said our images were 'surreal' & 'like a postcard' & some even accused us of having a fake backdrop!
We planned to come back & renew our vows for our 10-year anniversary. Being a Type-A personality & a bit of a perfectionist/control freak, I contacted the fabulous Jayanne about 18 months prior as I had to have everything the same. She was awesome: on the ball, very accommodating with requests, knowledgeable & always upbeat & positive--I loved getting her voicemails as they radiated the spirit of aloha.
Fast-forward 10 years to us, our 3 kids, most of our guests who attended our first wedding, Gordon & Reverend Tino--all there to witness our vow renewal. This time around was as stress-free as it can be with 3 small kids & our ceremony a little more lighthearted (I may have said 'for richer or for richer')!
Thank you for your incredible talents that made our family's special day unforgettable & for the stunning images we've shared with our loved ones who were unable to be with us. You can't put a price tag on memories & these will be treasured by our family for years to come.
