Above Heaven's Gate

Capt. Howie is a truly free spirited product of the 60's counterculture. He is a Master Captain with the U.S. Coast Guard and has maintained a 100 ton license for over 20 years, skippering traditional sailing vessels in the Hawaiian Islands. Capt. Howie is also a world renowned scholar of philosophy and religion and has lectured extensively worldwide on "Divine Love" and "Sacred Commitments". Capt. Howie has been performing weddings in tropical paradises for over 33 years. Let the heartfelt excerpts from our couples' letters below speak for themselves.

Captain Howie is a man of profound spirituality and superb intellect. His words will enhance the good times and provide an anchor during difficulties inherent in any marriage. Captain Howie asked us what our spiritual preferences were and we looked at each other like deer in the headlights. We didn't answer. Then he asked a simple question. "Well then, do you believe in God… yes, no, or maybe"? We answered, "Yes.", and the ceremony proceeded. It was the perfect blend of religion and spirituality for us. The ceremony had great meaning. We will rely on Capt. Howie's words for many years to come.

When we climbed out of our limo at the Pukalani Falls Wedding Garden we were spellbound. Wow, what an incredible and magical place! We can not say enough, nor could our descriptions ever do justice to this amazing place in paradise. It's something you just have to see. Captain Howie was mesmerizing! It was amazing how quickly he captured us and put us both at ease.

Dear Capt. Howie, We cannot put into words how beautiful and spiritual our wedding experience was with you. All 13 of us who attended were mesmerized by your words. It was truly a unique experience. None of us can stop talking about it. You provided us with memories to take with us forever.

Capt. Howie, your words have captivated us in so many ways. You took a piece of all that we are and wove it into the fabric of our new lives together. The memory of your words truly will last us a lifetime. We are blessed to have had you be the one to unite our families together.

Capt. Howie's flow and wording at our ceremony brought my husband and his mom to tears.

We found Capt. Howie through his website and it sounded like he was right up our alley. We were bringing together the cultures of East and West and I am convinced that Capt. Howie is the only person who could have performed our ceremony. He intertwined the two different cultures and spiritual beliefs flawlessly. We could not have asked for better. Thank you, you have helped start our marriage off together in the most positive light.

Everything far exceeded our expectations. You guys have re-defined the meaning of "communication" and "customer relations". From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so very much for taking care of us.
