Dear Catherine, Leialoha, Eileen, and Pastor Moki, "Thank you.. thank you.. and thank you..!!!" You made things so easy for us - just knowing that your team members would take a good care of the details made our trip much more enjoyable. Thank you so much for being so wonderful with our wedding. We enjoyed working with you, Pastor Moki, Leialoha and Eileen. Thank you for being so patient when we kept changing our wedding date and time. Our dinner plan worked out great because of your flexibility with our wedding start time. Our wedding was stress-free because you let us choose our own beach location. Eileen was very professional and paid special attention to our licensing details. Pastor Moki was also accomodating "at the last minute" - Thank you! Thank you Leialoha for the beautiful keepsake wedding certificate. We received two different ones in the mail per our special request. The photos look great. We LOVE our wedding portraits! Last but not least, thank you for picking up our last minute bouquet order; we greatly appreciate your personalized service when you "hand-delivered" it to our wedding site in person. Our warmest thanks, Rebecca and Scott Allen Houston, TX	Rebecca and Scott Allen Houston, TX

Dear Catherine, Well, I imagined that I would have written this sooner, but we have been exhausted these last 2 weeks With the time change and our work schedules it has left us running on empty. I can only say that I wish I was back in Maui. Mahalo...from the bottom of my heart. Catherine, you are magic. You made our wedding so unforgettable. You have been nothing less than an angel to us, and your personal attention, thoughtfulness, and kind words truly represent what a wonderful person you are. Thank you for lifting me up ... Your words of encouragement and support were very heartfelt, and for that we are extremely grateful. The Four Seasons staff was great. I loved my hair and makeup and couldn't even attempt to replicate it. Patrick loved the way my hair turned out too. He was so suprised when he saw me and made mention several times how beautiful I looked. I'm so happy you made the recommendation! Pastor Vance was incredible. He was so caring and personable, and we were so glad he let us add our own vows into the ceremony. I am really glad you chose him to be our celebrant. Thank you so much. I can't say enough about Tracy. Seeing his work online was one of the reasons that I chose Destinations. He is so talented and so enjoyable to be around. We were instantly pleased with him, and we knew everything would turn out beautifully. I'm so glad you had the chance to view our pictures and liked them so. Again Catherine, none of this would have been possible without you. I will always remember our week in Maui. Thank you for your special lei gift as well. Thank you for my Lei, it was perfect for my dress. Everything was perfect, from the Wailea coastline to the delicious food at Joe's and The Scrumptious Cake! You are AMAZING and you will not be forgotten. Thank you thank you thank you! Please be sure to let all of the staff and Eileen know how much we appreciated you all. Enjoy your summer!

Hi Catherine, We can't thank you enough for making our wedding such a beautiful experience. I knew we'd love working with you the first time I spoke to you on the phone you made everything so easy and fun.

She showed us the pictures and we are looking forward to seeing the rest of them. So glad that you enjoyed the nuts and olives. Where we live we are known for being the Olive Capital of the World, and also grow various kinds of nuts. We wanted to bring you a little piece of Corning Ca to you, witch dosen't compare what you and Maui has done for us. THANK YOU!

ALOHA Eileen, Catherine, and Minister Stuart, Thomas, Julian, and I arrived safely back to Dallas on Friday morning. With the greatest humility and gratitude, we would like to say, "MAHALO" for making our special day a most memorable one. To you, Eileen, you have been such a treasure. Inviting us into your home to review the details of our ceremony exemplifies your warm, giving spirit and heartfelt willingness to ensure a "stress-free" ceremony. Not only did you make us feel most comfortable at our first communication but confident that the ceremony will be conducted with the utmost care The location you had chosen was absolutely "breathtaking" and the gift extended to us was accepted with the greatest appreciation. For all you have done, we will be forever grateful. To you, Catherine, you have been an absolute joy to work with. Your professionalism and love for photography reflected in your patience, happiness and excitement with the shoot, and fabulous smile after every photo. At our first meet, you were hospitable and understood our cry to make certain that the pictures are our best. Upon our return to Hawaii in a couple of years, you are the one we will call upon to take our family photos during our most intimate times. To you, Minister Stuart, all we can say is "WOW"! It was at our first meeting that we knew GOD had strategically placed you into our lives to conduct our ceremony and give words of encouragement for a spritual and healthy marriage. When you spoke, we felt GOD's presence and your words will forever remain in our hearts, in our spirits, and in our marriage. There is a huge sense of genuine holiness when in your midst and we pray that you will continue to be blessed. Fighting back tears through our ceremony, the depth of my soul felt so free as I surrendered all that I had. Thank you for extending the invitation of "family" and for exceeding the expectation that our hearts so desired. Everything was so perfect!!!!!! Once again, "MAHALO" to all of you for making our "special day" one that we will never forget!!!!! Evonne, Thomas, and Julian Mitchem Dallas, TX	Evonne and Thomas Mitchem Dallas, TX

Dear Destination Hawaii, My wife and I were so impressed with our photo shoot that we insisted on sending you this letter of grattitude. Our photographer (Catherine) was professional, yet so friendly. She really made it easy for us to smile. The shots she took came out GREAT! Catherine really knew how to bring out the best in us. I tell you, Destination Hawaii was an absolute pleasure to work with. I've heard through friends how stressful wedding shots could be. I can't tell you how delighted we were not to have to encounter that with your company. It goes without saying that we'll insist your company to all of our friends and family. Thanks again for making our day so special and capturing our joy on film for eternity! Sincerely, Robert and Jennifer Cobarrurias Long Beach, CA

Dear Catherine, Thank you so much for the wonderful job of coordinating our 20th wedding vow renewal. You were truly a pleasure to work with including your prompt emails and professionalism. You really made everything simple and easy for my family. We also enjoyed Kahu Kalehua and his singing and playing the ukulele. He helped to give our ceremony a true "Hawaiian" feel. The sand ceremony was another nice addition since my husband wanted to bring the sand back home to the mainland! I will recommend your services to friends and family. Anyone thinking of renewing their vows or getting married in Hawaii should consider using Destination Hawaii!! Your photos have a very natural feel to them and you were so patient with my children! Thanks again for a beautiful and memorable 20th anniversary celebration! Gloria, Bob Siena & William
