Hawaii Commitment Ceremony Planning
Elegant Yet Casual Beach Receptions
Welcome to In Heaven Hawaii Home Page...
Hawaii destination wedding services for gay wedding packages and commitment ceremonies - celebrate your sacred union in paradise in Kauai and Oahu with a reverent ceremony officiated by Virginia St. Claire and photographed by Candace Freeland.
Aloha friends,
We lovingly offer Hawaii gay weddings, Hawaii lesbian weddings and commitment ceremony services for gays & lesbians in beautiful natural settings on the islands of Kauai and Oahu, Hawaii. Virginia celebrates the ceremony and Candace records the event on film. Our own wedding took place on a sailboat off Diamond Head in the calm aqua waters at sunset. We will always treasure the deep grace and magic of that day.
Because of our experience, we’ve come to appreciate the power of ceremony to amplify and strengthen the bond in a committed partnership. Every time we participate in a celebration of two loving beings declaring their vows, our own hearts are touched and uplifted - the very air is filled with joy, mystery and tenderness.
We respect and uphold the commitment between all loving couples including gay and lesbian commitment ceremonies. We would be honored and delighted to help you plan, celebrate and document your sacred union in paradise.
With warmest aloha,
Candace Freeland & Virginia St. Claire
We have come together to honor and celebrate the sacredness of all life and especially, today, the union of two loving beings . . . .
We have gathered to witness and bless the vows which will unite them in sacred partnership.
To this moment they bring the fullness of their hearts as a treasure to share with one another. They bring the dreams which bind them together. . . --From the Ceremony
"May this union be full of laughter,
Our every day a day in paradise."

"Our ceremony could not have been more perfect. The counseling we did before the wedding brought peace to Jocelyn and I as we prepared for "our day". The wedding pictures captured the intimacy, beauty, and the fun we were having on the beach. A memory we will cherish always. Thank you both for making April 10th, 2002 everything we had hoped it would be and more!"
--Jocelyn and Marcia
"Barefoot, on the beach in Hawaii at sunset, it doesn't get any better than this!.....We came with the expectation of meeting a minister and a photographer and came away with 2 new friends who through their kindness and warmth made a very important day for us even more special and wonderful."
--Heather and Shelley
"My Everlasting Love, thank you for letting me marry you and letting me share my life with you. Your kindness, gentleness, compassion and love welcome me into your world. ..."
--from John and Newman's wedding vows
"Dear Virginia and Candace,
Our minds keep returning to our beautiful tropical wedding in Kauai. So many friends that attended said that our wedding was the most beautiful they had ever seen.
Virginia, I just wanted to say thank you for such an incredible wedding ceremony. People came up afterward and talked about how they loved your energy and spirit. They were really moved by the ceremony, as were we.
Candace, the pictures are amazing! Our families have been amazed at your style and ability to make posed shots look so natural and fun.
We are so glad to have chosen In Heaven Commitments for our wedding.
I can't imagine our wedding being any better. You both helped make it a dream come true!"
--Connie and Erin
"Hello Virginia and Candace,
We arrived home safely last night with wonderful memories. We both want to say thank you for helping to make such a special day so incredibly wonderful. We deeply appreciated the loving mindfulness that you brought to the ceremony. It was so much more than we could have ever imagined.
Thank you again,"
--Tara and Sarah
