Nina & Ethan at Paliku Gardens

Nina & Ethan met with Steph nearly a year before sharing their vows in front of their friends and family at Kualoa Ranch's Paliku Gardens. The Groom was born and raised on O'ahu, while the Bride, although born on O'ahu, was raised in her family's homeland of Laos. The couple planned a lavish food and drink centric wedding that featured delicious food catered by the Bride's older bro - the famous Bo of Uncle Bo's Restaurant and tons of homemade goodies like the Maid of Honor's pho station, Mother of the Groom's musubi bites and much more. It was a foodie's dream come true.

The celebration was attended by 250 guests with nearly 50 of them flying from Laos. The couple's signature drinks were Jameson and Coke, or Jameson and water. The team was shocked by how many handles of Jameson were purchased for the wedding, but every bottle found a home and the guests certainly had a great time with the open bar. The Bride was stunning in her low-back gown from Bijou Bridal and her dessert bar was absolutely stunning and killer. All desserts locally made by pastry chef Yim Kwok with featured donuts by Purve.

The day-of team was led by Aileen and Steph with Maria, Jessica and Kevin providing additional support.
