We were married at Lakeside Gardens on October 4th. This being a second marriage for me and the third marriage for my husband, we did not want a big, expensive ceremony but we wanted something much nicer than your typical Las Vegas Wedding.
Originally, we were considering getting married on the beach in Waikiki but soon found out how expensive that can be. Further, planning a destination wedding was highly stressful. We tried several vendors/ locations in Honolulu and still could not find what we were looking for.
My husband found Always and Forever Wedding Chapel and Destination Weddings online. At first, I was very hesitant and did not want a cheesy Las Vegas wedding. But the more I looked into it, the more encouraged I became with what they had to offer.
In the end, I was extremely glad that we chose Always and Forever. They took care of every detail from providing the wedding location, the minister, the flowers, the music, the photographer, the videographer, the limo and the stylist who came to our hotel the day of the wedding to do my hair and makeup. They were the consummate professionals and handled every detail for us with the utmost care and courtesy. Even when I changed my mind about the color scheme and the flowers, they quickly accommodated my requests. All of our arrangements were made by phone and email! Further, their prices were extremely reasonable and worth every penny!
We were engaged on the 4th of July weekend and we scheduled our wedding on October 4th. We did not have a lot of time to plan and get everything together. With Always and Forever, they took the stress of planning away from us and let us enjoy our wedding day as it should be enjoyed. All we needed to do was pick out our rings, my dress and his suit. They did everything else!
It rained on the morning of our wedding and I was very nervous and concerned. They did all they could to calm me down and find a covered location within the gardens to hold our wedding ceremony. Our photographer, Michael, was fantastic. He captured our day beautifully and was a lot of fun to work with.
We were married and were off to our honeymoon in Honolulu without a care in the world.
I can't praise Always and Forever enough and I would highly recommend them to anyone considering a stress-free destination wedding!
