Originally from Puerto Rico, but currently residing in the windy city, Hector & Javier chose Maui as their ultimate destination venue!
After 24 years as a couple, Hector & Javier wanted to make their union legal and official with the blessing of their family & friends present. The couple fell in love with Gannon’s in Wailea for its pristine, upscale golf course grounds & amazing ocean views! They selected the wedding knoll for the ceremony and then the lower lawn for the reception to follow.
It was important to Hector & Javier to incorporate Hawaiian elements into the ceremony with a Hawaiian Officiate and the Hawaiian processional. The Hawaiian processional provided by our favorite Hawaiian entertainment company, Manuteanuie, consisted of two torch bearers/Hula dancers, drummer & a Hawaiian guitarist. For more details about the Hawaiian processional visit our blog https://aperfectparadisewedding.com/Blog/island-tradition-wedding-package/
The ceremony began with blowing of the conch shell, the torch bearers processed down the wedding path to the beat of the Hawaiian drums. The Hawaiian guitarist/vocalist then played for the entrance of the grooms escorting their Mother’s to their seats in the front row. Leis, Rings, Vows, were exchanged in a moving ceremony and a special Hawaiian wedding song hula was performed for the couple.
After family & group photos, Hector & Javier went with the photographer to the beach for some amazing sunset shots before joining their guests for cocktails & appetizers on the lower lawn. The tables were adorned by lush garlands & tropical flowers with a hint of bling from the gold candles & chargers.
It was such a pleasure to be included in this special wedding & so heartwarming to feel the close bond & love of this group! I wish Hector & Javier a long, life time of happiness!
