Hi Sheree!
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for me and Ben. It was everything we were expecting…and MORE!  You were a pleasure to work with and you made our wedding day exactly the way we dreamed it would be! The pictures and the video were beautiful!! It made me cry all over again!! If you could please give our thanks to the videographer and to the photographer, I would really appreciate it. They did a WONDERFUL job!  Ben and I are already talking about going back at our 10 year anniversary to do it all over again...
Well, thanks again for everything!!  Take care!! Eva Goodline

 Recent praise for Jeanie:

 Hi Jeanie!
Words can not describe how I feel at this moment. The moment I have spent my life dreaming aboutturned out to be even MORE than I could ever had imagined. A professional photographer friend of mine took a look at the pictures and told me that the mainland price for that type of magazine quality would have cost 10 times what we paid. And don't get me started on the gorgeous DVD or I may start crying tears of joy again!
Can you tell how special you are to me?
Much love to you and Anna... Allison (and Bryson) Scott-Friend

 Recent praise for Sandra:

Sandra:
On behalf of Donna, Doug, Michael and myself we just wanted to thank you for everything. Our wedding ceremony was perfect and we appreciate everything you did for us. Kenneth was wonderful, we loved him immensely. He was fun, sincere and had the most pleasant demeanor. The ukulele serenade he presented was an unexpected surprise. Your hula dance was lovely and meaningful. Although I forgot her name, the lady who assisted us with the pictures and poses was also a pleasure and her contributions were appreciated. We were deeply touched and talked over and over since that day how everything was even more than we expected and we were blessed to have all of you take a part in our wedding day.   
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

 You can be sure that we will spread to word to all our friends and family members that if they ever wanted to have a wonderful Hawaiian wedding experience that they have to contact you. If there is anything that we can do as far as recommendations or referrals for you, please feel free to use us at any time.  You can even take this message we sent and post it on your web site if you desire.

Dear Vicki.
I wanted to THANK YOU!!! so much for my story book wedding. It honestly was more perfect than anything I could have dreamed of. I can't thank you enough for putting together the best and most beautiful day of my life. Everything was perfect.
Love, Taryn and Clint


Frank,
Thank you for all your hard work making our wedding day special for us. Everything was perfect - from the flowers to the wedding site, and everything in between. It is truly a memory we will always cherish. Everyone gushes that the photos look like they're straight out of a magazine. And I haven't found anyone who can get through the video without tearing up. We especially love the ending song with its mix of footage of us. We're planning to project it on a big screen during our first dance at a reception we're planning in a few weeks. It's going to be fabulous.
Thank you again Frank for coordinating everything and making the day so fun and stress-free for us. We would highly recommend your services to anyone!
Julie and Darren Chaloner

Dear Vicki and Chelle,

Accolades go to you, young man. You have a fine organization and resources to make a young couple's dream come true.Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 
Marta

Hi Frank!
I wanted to write a big THANK YOU for all that you did to make our wedding day beautiful and memorable. You did an absolutely amazing job and we felt that the professionals you hired were truly excellent at their jobs. Everything from the flowers to the food to the music to the video and photography, the ceremony itself, the location and even the weather were all perfect.
We so appreciate all that you did, Frank, and your professionalism and (at the same time) aloha spirit were wonderful. Our guests were in awe of the whole experience (as were we), and we wouldn't have changed a single thing because everything was just perfect! Thank you so much again and we would be happy to serve as a reference to your future clients for you and any of the vendors we used. 
With warm aloha wishes from (cold!) Massachusetts,
Amy and Jonathon Grayson

Dear Chelle, Vicki, Mike, Frank and Ted...
I will never be able to express just how ecstatic I am regarding my wedding last month. I find myself day-dreaming about that special night over and over again. You four make the best team!
Jody Forsythe-McCallum

 It was a total dream. An Elegant Island Wedding has the best wedding planners!
Thank you Chelle!

"You did a wonderful job, Frank! It couldn't have been any more perfect!

 Frank- Our wedding was absolutely marvelous... thank you so very much. I really appreciate all that you have done for us.
Everything was just absolutely super and we can't thank you enough!!!!!!
Take care- Amy & Chip

Dearest Vicki, We would just like to drop you a line to thank you very much for all your help during our visit and our beautiful wedding. With all your help we were able to enjoy our time and arrive to a gorgeous stress - free wedding day .
Christina Turnbull

Dear Frank...  I still find myself searching for the fragrant air and straining to hear the waves crashing against the shore as I look over our Maui wedding photos.
The whole experience was one I will remember for the rest of my life. Our wedding was absolutely a dream come true.

I could not have asked for anything more perfect. The weather was great, the beach was beautiful, the ceremony was one of a kind, and the sunset was indescribable. I really did feel like I was dreaming. I wanted to let you know that our video was fantastic! Jason and I have watched our video about 100 times since we have returned home and actually our families were so impressed with the scenic shots at the beginning of the video that it has sparked their interest to visit Maui.

And I saved the best for last Frank---you. I could not have possibly even dreamed of doing this by myself. And I truly want to thank you for your sincerity and kindness. You truly made all of our dreams come true and words cannot express my thanks to you.

 What I think I loved the most about you Frank was that I had nothing to really worry about. I have a couple of friends who are getting married soon and they are literally about ready to fall apart. They are so busy running here and there and trying to rent this and organize that. And most days they are in tears and I have to smile to myself because I had none of the stressful moments that they have had and that is all due to you.
You were absolutely the best!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
 Becky Price

Thank you once again!!!! Our regards to Mike and Ted for being awesome coordinators.
 Mahalo, Andy & Lily Sheen-Turner

Dear Frank,
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
Since the day my daughter was born, I have dreamed (like so many mothers) of her wedding day, and I have to tell youu, Frank, that you and your group have
surpassed all my expectations in every way possible. God Bless you all!
Thank You, Debbie Young

HELLO MIKE AND CHELLE!!!
How have all of you been? Please tell everyone at An Elegant Island Wedding on Maui "Hello!". We enjoyed Hawaii so much. We watch our wedding video at least once a week and I show off our pictures every chance we get. Can I tell you again how much we LOVE the work you did?! Really, we are so grateful to your ingenious services!
Thank you a million times over!
Mahalo! Dr. Julie Pearson

Aloha Frank!
Married life is treating us well and our memories of Hawaii are still going strong. We enjoyed the rest of our time on Maui and Kauai was absolute paradise. It was very hard to leave. We both can't thank you and everyone else enough. We will highly recommend you to anyone planning a wedding on Maui. Your level of professionalism was far beyond our expectations. Thank you so very much.
Thanks again for everything!!! Mike and Jenn Oliver

Mike and the Gang- I couldn't have even begun without you!! You were so helpful and you will be the first place I send friends to if planning a wedding in Maui! We just got back yesterday but my time in Maui was perfect! What an amazing place you all live in and I will always want to go back!
Aloha and Mahalo to you all!
Terri and Marc Haugen

Thank you, Frankie, for the wonderful ceremony. It was all we could have hoped for. Thank you for making the most important day of our lives so wonderful and stress free. We couldn't imagine our day being any more perfect than it was.

The way you conduct business is professional and prompt. We want to thank you again and we will recommend you to all our friends, Frank, because we could tell that our wedding day was just as important to you as it was to us! Thank you for making all the reservations and for all the help while we were on Maui. I can't say it enough.
Mahalo, Sheryl and Christopher Bell

Frank,
Our wedding, thanks to you and your people turned out wonderfully. Far surpassing expectations. Please tell all for us the ceremony was wonderful and the pictures turned out wonderfully.
Thanks again for a wonderful experience.
Howard Roth

Hi Mike and Frank.
Chris and I just wanted to thank you all so much for making our wedding such a wonderful experience. Your personal touch made us feel like we were dealing with friends as opposed to wedding coordinators. It truly was an amazing experience.
Chris & Jackie Jones

Our Wedding was absolutely wonderful! They took care of everything for us. I actually said to one of my friends, as we were laying on the beach the day of the Wedding, " This is the way to get married. No stress, and the only thing I have to worry about is showering off the sand before going to my hair appointment!"
I highly recommend An Elegant Island Wedding on Maui and their wedding planners and coordinators. They provided very personalized service and made sure all of my questions were answered.
Chris Myers and Tammy Bastian

Aloha Frank! We are so pleased that we went with An Elegant Island Wedding (Weddings on Maui). We cannot thank you enough for everything you did, your professionalism, your organization, your attention to detail, and most of all your beautiful aloha spirit. You were absolutely awesome, and everything turned out even better than we expected! We both HIGHLY recommend you to anyone.
Please feel free to use us as referrals for anyone who may want to use your coordination service.
We are forever grateful.
Mahalo! Tonya and Vernon Nora 

You are an asset to the company, Frank! I enjoyed working with you very much - you have a calming effect on people. So as they say - Mahalo, Mahalo, Mahalo!!!!
Take care - Leslie and David

Cynthia and I just wanted to say thank you for everything again and again. We decided to look up the new web page design and low and behold there we were. We never thought in a million years that you would use a picture of us. The pictures and web page are great, what a real thrill to see yourself as part of something exciting.
You are the greatest and thank you again for such a memorable day.
Bradd Newton

Everything that you have coordinated is more than we can imagine it would be. Thank you, Thank you and Thank you both for arranging the perfect day for us.
