We will be in town on May 7.
Approximate guests (excluding bride and groom): 15 adults and 1 child confirmed. 6 unconfirmed. (these 6 guest are from China and we won’t know until they go to US consulate and apply for visas. 50/50 chance to get visas these days…)
Desired Package Details with custom choices:
Beach Chapel Arch Package (custom)
A white arch decorated like shown in the above picture, except that I would like to have a white flower center bouquet instead of orange/yellow. I definitely like the center large bouquet idea.
See following picture for the bouquet sample :
For chairs and setting, I am going for the Blue/yellow color combo shown like the following picture (Turquoise with yellow flower)
Rev Chris. We would like a traditional Christian style. I like the ceremony outline he linked here:
If we do have Chinese guests coming, my mother will also act as translator during the ceremony
(something Rev Chris probably needs to know about). And translation will be taken directly from his script.
solo musician choice
A guitarist who plays Hawaii music. Two hula dancers who will also engage the guests to dance with after the ceremony. (I understand hula dancers are extra. Could you please give me a quote?)
Before the ceremony, we’ll have our iPod play the traditional wedding music while close family enter the site and the big entrance for the bride.
The musician can take over after the ceremony begins. We’d like the hula dancers to show up around 6:30pm (1 hr after the beginning of the ceremony) and entertain guests for 1 hour.
What is the normal cost for fire dancer?
We will take care of the 1st dance. We are not slower dancers.. So we’ll do something a bit crazy ourselves. J
Lei’s for close family and bride and groom:
Groom: Maile lei
Bride: white jasmine flower know as the pikake flower
2 groomsman: yellow plumeria with tea leaf
Bouquets for Bride and Bridesmaids
Bride: Plumeria large bouquet: (pink/yellow combo)
Bridesmaids: same plumeria flowers but much smaller size (the typical size for the bridesmaids)
Bouquets for the party light pink and yellow plumeria flower bouquets
yes the chairs will have your choice of flower.
Does the photographer do digital photos::::::
Yes there are actually 3 different cameras used Medium format, 35 mm and high end digital
If so, can we get the CD with all the photos: yes plus you get all the photos and the rights plus CDs any extra are given to you!!!!
How long does the photographer normally stay at the wedding?
The wedding photographers usually stay about two hours , you may hire the photographer to stay on at the reception
I would recommend pre wedding photos in the estate house to capture all the beauty of the house and you getting ready in it!!
Thank you Christine i look forward to meeting you Your wedding coordinator Paul
