Fabulous February ~ Smith & Dines at The Five Palms Maui

On February 18th, 2011 Island Sunset Weddings had the pleasure of executing Kate Smith & Scott Dines wedding event at the Five Palms Restaurant in Kihei. The venue was set up for 75 of there closest family & friends. Kate & Scott chose to execute there vows under a bamboo chupah set up on the private lawn of the Five Palms Restaurant. However, the Maui weather had other plans for us this day, with dark clouds & bursts of rain making us anxious all afternoon. What to do, with the ceremony all set up outside and in place? Luckily, the couple had arranged to have a buy out of the entire restaurant for there wedding reception dinner & party! Even though we had all the tables arranged & decorated, we all pulled together, moved the necessary items, and executed the vows inside the restaurant, while rain poured down during this 15 minute exchange!! The bride & groom handled this change of plans with a smile & simply continued to move forward with what life had in plan, a little rain, and a lot of memories! Just following the vows, the afternoon sky opened up and allowed us to venture outside for the remainder of the sunset family & friends photography shots taken by Weddings by Kinga. Her images were just amazing, and the lucky couple could not look happier! The guests enjoyed appetizers & cocktails arranged by the couple with the Five Palms and then transitioned again to the private wedding reception for good food & fun, Maui style! The group finished the night with good times provided by DJ Dan, a local DJ favorite! I also want to say a special thank you to Maui Wedding Cakes for the amazing three tier creation, it was beautiful! Also, thank you to Kihei Wailea Flowers by Cora for re-creating the most beautiful bouquet for Kate! She truely felt like you had heard her requests and make her vision come true!!
