Our vision of a pavilion in the rain forest elegant enough for weddings, open to the song of the birds and the scent of the air led us to Teak-Bali, Tom, Danny, and Marchand. Danny and his team in Bali helped us with the design. We made changes as we went along, increasing the size of the corner posts, adding railings, and all along the way everyone at Teak-Bali was artistically engaged, with a spirit of aloha. When it came time to put up the structure, Tom referred us to Tim, who was likewise a delight to work with. If you have ever undertaken a building project, you know this is a rare experience.

Our pavilion fits with the forest in just the island inspired way we had imagined. The type of wood resists damage caused by the wetness of the rainforest. The structure is as beautiful and sound as it was when it was built. Many a happy occasion has been celebrated there. You may even see it in action at www.mahinui.com and on facebook on the page Rainforest Weddings. Aloha!
