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
