Laysia and Jaron’s wedding at Grand Island Mansion was a timeless blend of romance, elegance, and celebration. With the entire day unfolding on the estate — from getting ready to the final dance — every moment felt seamless and beautifully intentional.

Before the ceremony, the couple shared a private first look on the grounds, followed by an intimate exchange of personal vows — a quiet, heartfelt moment just for the two of them before the celebration began. Later, as guests arrived to live violin music, Laysia made her grand entrance through the mansion doors in a classic ballgown, walking to the column-lined ceremony site where she and Jaron exchanged traditional vows.

Cocktail hour took place inside the mansion with signature drinks and custom calligraphy and engraving for guests. As the evening transitioned beneath the outdoor tent, elegant tablescapes framed a central dance floor and the energy shifted from romantic to celebratory. Heartfelt speeches, a father-daughter dance, a meaningful Hawaiian money dance, and a special hula performed by Laysia’s mother made the reception especially memorable. The night ended with cake cutting, a dessert station, and dancing under the open sky — a romantic beginning to a joyful, unforgettable celebration.
