Our beautiful Ukraine & Scottish wedding!

 

We were thrilled to assist our bride, Natasha, originally from the Ukraine and her finance, Nick, from Scotland in making their destination wedding dream come true!  They envisioned a remote, unique location to WOW their guests and found it at the Keali’I Nui Botanical Gardens in Haiku, Maui.  Situated above the breathtaking cliffs of the North Shore, the garden offers dramatic views of the ocean below and even has a small waterfall!

Rev. Brito Officiated for the beautiful ceremony, even adding some elements of the Ukraine culture.  The bride’s Mother made a traditional Ukraine bread, which is cut by the bride and groom during the ceremony, then each guests is invited up after the ceremony  for a piece which signifies a blessing for the couple.

The couple’s two beautiful boys were dressed in the Authentic Ukraine dress shirt and a traditional Scottish Kilt, they were absolutely adorable!

After the ceremony and family photos by Hula Girl Photography, everyone gathered in the pavilion for a champagne toast and appetizers before heading off to enjoy The Old Lahaina Luau.

Thank you Nick & Natasha for choosing me to be a part of your special day, what a wonderful family you have!

The Mana Kai Lawn located in South Maui offers a wonderful alternative to couples looking to have their wedding on a lawn overlooking the ocean, but not wanting to commit to the expense of renting a private estate.

This beautiful and affordable location features a manicured lawn that allows personalized wedding décor and seating for the comfort of your guests.  Due to State laws, this is not an option when planning a beach wedding.  The Mana Kai Lawn offers an incredible view from the ceremony site, with the Islands of Molokini and Kahoolawe  in the distance. A beautiful beach is just foot steps away and is perfect for large group shots, as well as intimate sunset photos.

There are several reception options available that can accommodate any budget, please inquire and we would be happy to provide you with additional information on this wedding and reception location!

Kanapali’I Coffee Farm Estate

 

Stunning ocean views, rainbows, surrounded by loving family & friends, what more could one ask for?!

Catilyn & Ryan chose the private Coffee Farm estate for the site of their intimate wedding and reception.  The ceremony was beautifully officiated by Catilyn’s sister and couldn’t have been more perfect for the couple.

While the guests were being entertained by a hula show during cocktail hour, the newlyweds slipped away to enjoy a few moments of privacy among the acres of coffee plants!

What a wonderful event, Thank you Catilyn & Ryan for choosing us at A Perfect Paradise Wedding to assist you!

A Special Thank you to Anna Kim Photography, Maui Wedding Cakes, & Café O’ Lei catering!
