Unmatched Service and Flexibility: A Truly Exceptional Wedding Experience!This company is absolutely fantastic--professional, efficient, and truly outstanding! They exceeded all of our expectations in every way. The coordination was seamless, and they responded to inquiries almost instantaneously. We initially started working with a company called Weddings of Hawaii, but after a few months, we realized they didn't offer the flexibility we needed. We found ourselves trying to fit our vision into their rigid plans, all while their services were significantly more expensive. At one point, it felt like they were more focused on their own needs than ours. Simple requests were met with resistance, and we felt like our vow renewal wasn't going to reflect us. We even opted to forfeit our down payment and pay the 3.5% refund penalty just to walk away and stop working with Weddings of Hawaii. Even before they'd done anything for us, they were already asking for a gratuity pledge, listing all nine coordinators who were supposedly "assisting" us--an experience that left us frustrated and disillusioned.Then we found Just Married Hawaii / Dream Hi Weddings / I Want to Marry You Wedding, and what a difference! From the start, they were incredibly accommodating and flexible. While they have a set package structure, they truly care about personalizing the experience. For example, we wanted our two daughters to play and sing a song on their ukuleles while the third danced the hula after our vows--a special moment for our family. The other company insisted this could only happen during the procession or recession. But Just Married Hawaii said, "It's your day, and you can do whatever you want." That kind of flexibility and understanding really stood out to us.What we also loved about them was their transparency. Weddings of Hawaii had charged us hundreds for décor without mentioning that the location we chose didn't allow certain items, like flower petal showers. Just Married Hawaii, on the other hand, informed us right away that the city had restrictions on decorations at our chosen site. Why didn't the other company disclose this upfront, especially when they were so eager to charge us?The quality of their services was top-notch. The florals were beautiful and much more affordable than what we had been quoted elsewhere. The limo service was punctual, and our officiant, Rev. Ellsworth Simeona, was both professional and warm. The videographer and photographer captured every moment perfectly, allowing us to relive the day in the most beautiful way.In short, this company is absolutely phenomenal. If you're looking for a stress-free, personalized, and amazing wedding or vow renewal experience, look no further. Just Married Hawaii / Dream Hi Weddings / I Want to Marry You Wedding truly goes above and beyond!

We married on Kahala Beach in Oahu on New Years Eve, and Dream Hi Weddings made our special day so easy and special. I want to give a big shout out to Pastor Mike for officiating our ceremony. He was the best! Our photographer was very accommodating, and we can't wait to see the results when the photos are ready. Thank you Dream Hi Weddings for doing all the planning and making our special day so memorable

Just came back from vacation where we used this company to plan our 10 year wedding vow renewals. From start to finish, it was super easy! We told themA little about our family and what we wanted and they instantly made suggestions which made planning effortless on our end. We chose the package that included photography and it was well worth it! Both the officiant and photographer were super friendly and patient with us and our children. Wouldn't highly recommend!

Dream Hawaii gave us an incredible experience for our vow renewal. The professionalism and quality of service was great and price was super affordable. Our officiant, Ellsworth, did an amazing job giving us the traditional Hawaiian theme we were aiming for and our photographer really took her time and produced some beautiful pictures. I would highly recommend Dream Hawaii for your ceremony.

Dream Hi made our micro wedding drama free and economical. I 110% recommend this company and any vendors attached. The level of communication with Aubrey the photographer, the officiant, and the limo driver eased my pre- wedding anxieties. I can't wait to get our photos back!! We will be booking with Dream Hi again for our vow renewal. I'm recommending this company to any bride I know that wants to get married in Hawaii! Thanks a million.

When disaster struck Maui, our wedding plans dissolved. Dream Hi Weddings heroically stepped in at the last second for an unforgettable Oahu ceremony. With little notice, they seamlessly orchestrated our big day, treating us like family. Mike Nelson led a ceremony that felt deeply personal, while Christine's intuitive photography captured our whimsical souls (she even brought fairy wings for me), Alika brilliantly played our unique choice of "Rainbow Connection" from the Muppets, and Watters masterminded the magic. Eternal thanks to this dream team for crafting the most enchanting day of our lives. We are so grateful and will never forget your professionalism and kindness. **Birds not provided haha**

I contacted I Want To Marry You weddings (Dream Hi) for a vow renewal in Oahu. Their website was comprehensive and they were were responsive to my inquiries. I did a lot of comparison shopping between different corporations that perform weddings/vow renewals in Oahu and this seemed to check all the things I was looking for. It is always nerve-wracking to depend on people you don't know, but we couldn't have been more happy with how everything turned out. We just cannot say enough wonderful things about the people at I Want To Marry You weddings. First, I had booked hair and makeup through them. The stylist, Stephanie, met me right on time at my hotel. She was so sweet and she made me look gorgeous! She is so talented. For the ceremony, we had Rev. Ellsworth. He was funny, genuine and caring. He did a wonderful job with our service. Darren was our ukulele player/singer. He was awesome! Sang and played all of our requested songs. Loved it.Katrina was our wedding coordinator and proved to be indispensable. It rained during our ceremony and pictures and she was prepared with umbrellas (nice ones!) and wrangled all of our stuff. I think she sourced our lei as well and they were gorgeous and very fresh. Kristine was our photographer and she did such an amazing job in a difficult situation. It rained...and rained...but our pictures look fabulous. She had multiple cameras and made sure there were a lot of shots for us to choose from. She was detail-oriented and we received our photos so fast. Lastly, a second shout out to makeup/hair stylist, Stephanie. Throughout the rain, my makeup didn't budge and my hair held up remarkably well too!HIGHLY recommend this company for weddings/vow renewals.

Dream Hi Wedding did an awesome job. We were only doing a vow renewal. My package was set up via the site, phone and email before we even got off of the plan. I recommend them whole heartedly. I recommend Reverend Ellsworth Simeona, he is a true Godly man, we completed our vows in English and Hawaiian. I also recommend Mr. Resurrection for photography.Thank You to all the staff who helped us make a 25 wedding, vow renewal possible.
