An Island

Before going to the Officer’s Club for Sunday Brunch, we traveled up the mountain to overlook Oahu’s Kaneohe Bay. This gave us a great view of the bay, the Marine Base and Coconut Island.

Beautiful Setting for a Wedding Reception

The view from the reception tent was outstanding, it didn’t matter which side of the tent you were. There was lush green lawns, ponds and Mt. Shasta in the distance. At first, the tent sides were down but were soon opened up as we enjoyed our dinner with the peaceful landscape.

A photo area with props was set up, at Michelle and Don’s reception, to record a special photo and to write a special message in the guest book for the happy couple. Dee, Mother of the Groom, had fun sharing how happy she was for the newly married couple.
