What an amazing experience to be a part of the wedding of Janel Parrish and Chris Long. We met Janel and Chris when they were guests at one of favorite destination weddings of all time in Montana. So when they asked us to be a part of their destination wedding in Hawaii, there wasn’t even a moment of hesitation. At Kualoa Ranch. Wow. YES!! Absolutely. We would adore it.
It was a fabulous lead up to the day. Full of exciting plans all year long with the Pretty Little Liars star and her crew. Lifelong friends. Every detail of Janel Parrish and Chris Long’s Kualoa Ranch nuptials were full of intimate and personal touches. From family officiating and friends who were integral parts of the ceremony. Janel alsowalked down the aisle, to a song she had written for Chris. Chills. It was that incredible.
There was the wedding cake made by her mom and friends and family that flew in from around the world. Long-time friend and celebrity stylist, Glenn Nutley did Janel’s spectacular hair and makeup. Pure perfection. Every part of the wedding was just full of “them”. The wedding of Janel Parrish and Chris was full of Pretty Little Liars cast and crew, including Brendan Robinson and Marlene King, were in attendance as well as the bride’s Bratz: The Movie costars Logan Browning and Natalia Ramos.
It started to rain right as Janel arrived for the ceremony. We asked her if she’d like to postpone a few minutes to see if the weather would pass. Janel just said “No, I want to get married right now. I’m not waiting a minute longer. Chris is waiting for me”. Janel has always just described Chris as her person. “My soul knows him, I feel like. He’s my best friend in the entire world. And no matter what, if I’m having the worst day ever, I feel like I have somebody who understands me,” she told US Weekly. “And that feels so nice.”
So, in her couture Inbal Dror gown, with the spectacular hidden valleys and majestic mountains of Kualoa as their backdrop, Janel and Chris were married under cleansing, emotional Hawaiian showers. Everyone there feeling the depth of spirit and sense of place that only Hawaii can provide.
Afterwards the party was brillant. A beautiful marque nestled privately away in Ka’a’awa Valley. Full of solitude, with just the fabulous sounds of Janel and Chris’ favorite band The Green, echoing long into the night. While guests were tearing up the dancefloor the “Jurassic Valley” was truly theirs, In every sense. The wedding of Janel Parrish and Chris Long was epic, and beautiful. It was full of amazing people. And we’re honored that we could be a part of this perfect story.
