“Thanks everyone! We’re so happy! Darci Palmer and Penny Palmer did an awesome job. We’re so fortunate to have them. Truly Deaf friendly!”

-Annette & Alma

Darci surpassed our expectations as a Wedding Planner and Minister from the first time we reached out to her! She was incredibly responsive to all our questions and requests. Darci allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation by taking care of every detail of our ceremony. She wanted to make OUR day about US, and she did! Darci managed to capture our personalities, the spiritual Hawaiian traditions, and the natural beauty of The Secret Beach in a ceremony that was simply inspired. Penny Palmer captured both the beauty of our beach paradise and the emotion of our wedding day! She was professional, yet fun and flexible, allowing us to be ourselves, including the tears and the laughter. We were so pleased with Penny’s creative vision. Penny truly preserved our memorable day with her photographic magic. The team of Penny & Darci made our wedding day a dream come true! We would highly recommend them for your special day! – T&N

Read the story of one of our Amazing Gay Hawaii Weddings Couples…

Vanessa and Devon

Back in 2001…

On a virtual path of life twelve years ago, two beautiful souls crossed, touched, and united… Separated by the physical miles between Virginia and Seattle, Washington, the internet provided them with the tools they needed to bridge the gap. They discovered that they had a lot in common and enough different to really complement each other. Marriage wasn’t an option then, but they knew they needed to travel the path of life together.

2002…

Surrounded by thousands at the Gorge and Jack Johnson up on stage… Vanessa turned to Devon and asked her to marry her. The people faded in the distance and the most amazing moment in time stood still.

2014…

Vanessa, her Dad and Devon arrived on Maui for their special ceremony last month. We had the pleasure of enjoying lunch with them the day before their ceremony. Meeting our clients before their special day is what changes clients into ohana and creates that meaningful lifelong bond that we treasure with our jobs.

Now these girls are anything but ordinary… They are driven. They are incredibly smart. They are funny, and not in that self-degrading way. You walk away from these two feeling happy and energized.

.
From the first time we spoke on the phone we knew we were going to like each other. They were positive, upbeat and beyond excited about their Maui wedding from Day One. They selected bright clothing to contrast the khaki of the sand and the blue of the water. The picked styles that reflected their personalities instead of the more traditional Hawaii beach wedding clothing.

Their clothing and personalities bubbled through brilliantly! Together, we created a ceremony that was truly about them, from the wording in the ceremony to the ambiance and the songs selected for their serenading.

Their ceremony was customized to include special details they had provided during the consultation phase of their Hawaii wedding planning. Each note that they felt important enough to bring up was somehow reflected within their ceremony. (Yes, there’s even a story to the shot glass in the picture). Their ceremony was lively, respectful, passionate and playful – it was everything a monumental moment of their lives should be. That moment when the bond is deepened and best friends pledge their continued support for the remainder of life’s path together.

“Vanessa, Always remember that it is not only your inner soul that captivates Devon, but it’s also your kindness that you let pour out of it. All she has to do is look into your eyes to find reassurance and that motivates her to overcome anything. Devon, Your kindness, your compassion, your genuine heart of gold keeps Vanessa going. Even when it seems like maybe something was said that shouldn’t have been, your love for each other pulls through. You’re Vanessa’s world and she loves having you in it.”

Together they shared in the beauty that is Maui and the peacefulness that marriage brings over two people. They explored the Road to Hana, and played on the best beaches on Maui. They danced, they laughed, they strengthened their 12 year bond. They experienced all the aloha of this magical island and they’re counting the days to come back and visit.

.
Ladies, until we see you both again, continue to live those daily traits that make you one of the most amazing couples we’ve had the pleasure of marrying.

Aloha nui loa!
