I finally have the time to sit down and write you! Again, I would like to thank you for your welcoming spirit. I am excited to work with you. My father is interested in speaking with you as well. As requested, here is what we are envisioning for our wedding! We are looking forward to a smaller, quite intimate wedding. Here is a general idea of what we want.

Date/Time: Saturday June 30, 2007/ Time uncertain

Bridal party: One maid of honor (my sister, Aei) and one best man (Cameron's brother, Kyle) No other attendants

Guests: We are looking at approximately 35 people

At first, we thought a beach wedding at Waimanalo would be the way to go, but after some consideration - we are thinking of a ceremony/reception at a beach house. Here is where I am requesting the most assistance. I've looked online for beach houses to rent out -- but am having some challenges. Do you have any ideas/past experiences/suggestions? I understand there would be separate costs for the rental. A location walking distance to the waterfront preferable. Another idea is a chapel. Again, any ideas?

We are requesting a pastor from Word of Life.

As for coordination with you, I am interested in:
-Set up at location (flower arrangement, petals, arch (if needed))

-Solo violinist for processional and recessional - Can I request the piece selection (not traditional wedding music)?

-Flowers: My bouquet
              Maid of honor bouquet
              Groom's boutonniere
              Best man's boutonniere
              Two leis for fathers
              Two wrist corsages for mothers

-Lotus Star Photography and Edited Orchid Package Video (DVD)

-Wedding Certificate

-Reception at location - Uncertain
    Light hors d'oeuvres (sushi platters, fruit/veggie trays, finger sandwiches,etc)
    Wedding cake
    Sparkling grape juice/punch (no alcohol)

My father is looking into some venues for a sit down dinner...I will keep you posted on that. If at a restaurant, will you be able to attend and take pictures and video? Obviously, if at a restaurant, food will not be a concern, however, can I still coordinate a wedding cake through you?

-Sound system to play background music, couple's first dance, father/daughter dance, mother/son dance, and (possibly) for hula dancing. Depending on the location

We are looking to spend no more than I'm sure we can plan a beautiful and memorable wedding together. I look forward to hearing from you. I am sending the deposit check (this week with a sign certificate.

As requested, here is a picture of Cameron and me - so you know who you are working with! :)

WEDDING BOUQUET

www.bluehawaiiweddings.com, I saw two bouquets I really like, although they aren't anywhere near my colors, but if we can do them in white and maybe the spray blue stuff you were talking about. The first one is Renee Allee & David Fredrik Eriksson's wedding on 12/23/05. The next one i wedding on 3/5/06.

We found this photo and we LOVE this arch. Can we do something like this?

ve been looking around the site and I found a cake that I like. It’s the cake that Kailua Fritz and Joannah Rivera had. Also, where was their ceremony and reception held? What wedding package did they purchase? And what time was their wedding?

I’ve also been looking at arches, but we’re still deciding.

I found this on LHJ.com. I like the square cake with the blue, it matches our wedding colors.

I’ve been totally fine until today, I made the mistake of looking at the calendar and I’ve been a mess all day. My wedding is in about 90 days! So I have a few questions.

If for some reason I can’t get out there before the wedding like I wanted to, is this whole thing “doable” with me being here and you being there? (I’m sure it is, I think I just need reassurance).

I’ve been looking at your web site and I really like the Kahala Mandrain gazebo. I also saw a really pretty picture of how it was set up for Jim and Wendy’s wedding on 5/05, and I think I’d like it decorated like that if we do decide to have the ceremony at diamondhead gazebo. I noticed there was fee for use of the gazebos, is that fee in addition to the package price?

Also, our package isand right now we plan on having between 20-30 people at the wedding. I know you told me anything over 7 people is $45 per person for the Luau. My question is, is it really necessary to pay for every single person over 7? I know when I’ve done buffet style events in the past you always get more food than people which means you always have left over food. So if you could help me with that, I would appreciate it.

I think those are all the questions I have right now, Lori will be contacting you later this week or next week to discuss some things as well.

Thank you so much for your help, I know we don’t talk that often but I think you’re great!

Aloha,

Naheshae
