Olowalu Plantation House, Maui- Shelby& CJ

High school sweethearts, CJ & Shelby, after nearly 14 years, made it official at The Olowalu Plantation House in Maui!  Firefighter & Nurse, these incredible individuals, joined together to create an amazing couple! 

Frequent vacationers on Maui, the couple fell in love with the feel & style of the Olowalu Plantation House!  A true testament of the love for this couple was in the amazing amount of family & friends that traveled from afar to be a part of their special day!

With a guest list of just under 100, the day started with a slight drizzle & forecast of possible thundershowers.  The couple’s easy going attitude while going over possible back up plans was refreshing!  Shelby & CJ weren’t going to allow a little rain to damper the excitement of marrying the love of their lives and trusted us to help make that happen! 

The day was clear & beautiful, filled with love, laughter & tears! Kristine Herman did an amazing job of capturing the beauty of Shelby & CJ’s amazing wedding & reception and through her creative style you too can experience the Love story of this incredible couple!

The Charming St. John’s Church

Not everyone who marries in Hawaii dreams of an outdoor wedding, we actually do a fair amount of Church weddings as well! 

 One of the most charming of the Churches in Maui is the St. John’s Episcopal Church.   Located on the rolling hills of Haleakala in upcountry Kula, St. John’s offers incredible views of the ocean & west Maui mountains and can host up to 100 guest’s.    The lush garden grounds make an ideal setting for those wanting an early afternoon ceremony & an outdoor garden reception in the cooler upcountry air. 

Briana & Bradley, highs school sweethearts, were married by Pastor Valentine Rosette in an intimate ceremony before their closest friends & family.  The ceremony was followed by a tented garden party reception on the beautiful Church grounds.

Sylvia & Mark’s Beautiful Boho Wailea Wedding!

The beautiful Lower wedding knoll at Gannon’s in Wailea, Maui!

Sylvia & Mark selected the Lower Wedding Knoll at Gannon’s in Wailea for their beautiful Maui wedding!  The stunning couple exchanged vows before their closest family & friends in a touching & fun ceremony with Pastor Ernest Pua’a. 

The photographer, Rodrigo Moraes, did an amazing job of capturing the day, telling the love story of Sylvia & Mark’s incredible new adventure together!

Sylvia, an interior designer with incredible style, designed the layout for the dining tables.  Adorned with beautiful grape wood pieces, eucalyptus seeds, shells and lots of candles creating a lovely tablescape.  It was the perfect fit with the vintage, boho vibe of the reception site at Gannon’s lower lawn. 

I love the lacy detail on our brides beautiful wedding gown!

Hector & Javier’s Beautiful Wailea Wedding!

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!
