This is a very over due review but one I have thought about almost every day. I kept putting it off thinking, how can I express my deepest gratitude. I felt a great responsibility in writing this review, and for good reason. Yardin and her team at 1979 were phenomenal. Going into the planning was extremely stressful for me. My better half (love of my life Shawn) was kind enough to do most of the coordinating with the team. When the big day came I was expecting to have some sort of problem at some point with the wedding planner or team.In my experience with weddings I had been to and even a part of, the bride ALWAYS had at some point was upset with their wedding coordinators. I just thought this was part of the process Yardin and her team were extremely organized and so patient. Everything went so smoothly and there was not one time I had any stress. NONE. Like, my wedding was literally a dream come true. I am so blessed to have had 1979 plan the most special day of my life. I have such deep gratitude to the whole team. In a drunken state at the end of the night my husband and I have gave what cash we had on hand thinking it was sufficient. Once awake and sober in the morning and asked what the service charge was I quickly realized what we gave was certainly not enough. I felt absolutely horrible and reached out immediately to ask to meet to give cash gratuity. They couldn't have been more humble and kind about it! Yardin and her husband even invited us to a beach party with music and hooping! The second day after our wedding we were ready to meet with Yardin. We contacted her and learned that her and her team had left the island to help with the Maui fire. The news has broke that morning of this devastating fire and by the afternoon Yardin and her team were already on their way out. I mean, these people are genuinely compassionate and caring people. One of a kind, beautiful inside and out. Everything they did for my wedding showed their character traits. If you are looking for a team to make your wedding day special and full of LOVE. Look no further, I cannot recommend them enough.

What a sweet find. Driving to Waimea Bay, saw a cute coffee stand on the roadside. As soon as I walked up to the stand, a girl started talking to me saying that she just brewed fresh coffee and if I didn't like it, I could still have it. I liked that approach, and I tasted the coffee. Oh wow, different.Ono, ono! What makes their coffee different? I don't know.. that might be a small corporate secret that I can't figure out, but I know this one for sure..they use caramelized cane sugar. It's not too sweet, but you can taste slight coconut and cane sugar. Thank you for the Kama'aina rate. I'm not even a resident anymore. Sweet girls serving coffee with appropriate sweetness. A gem on the North Shore. 5 Stars.

Hawaii 1979 was amazing! Yarden was so kind, caring, and professional from the start. My now husband and I only knew the venue we wanted in Hawaii. Hawaii 1979 was recommend by the venue. Neither of us had a specific vision for our wedding. Yarden was able to take the ideas and inspiration we had to make a perfect wedding day. Yarden took care of every detail. Every step of the way Yarden and her team communicated with us and made decision making so easy. of the Planning our destination wedding was so easy and stress free. Our guests loved everything about our ceremony and reception. So many people are still complementing our wedding still. Every vendor was so sweet and attentive to our guests needs and wants. I highly recommend Hawaii 1979!

Our wedding day felt like an absolute dream, and it would not have been possible without Yarden and her lovely team. 1979Hawaii coordinated every aspect of our destination wedding. From our first virtual meeting to our last, they were very understanding and accommodating with our time differences and busy schedules. Yarden and her team are experts in their craft and will ensure that they bring your wedding vision to life. With not living in Hawaii, we were able to turn to Yarden to give helpful advice and guidance. On our wedding day, we were welcomed by Yarden and her staff, and they were very warm and friendly towards us and all of our guests. Yarden was especially attentive towards me as the bride, and was kind, helpful, and supportive. From making sure my dress was perfect for every photo to assuring our timeline ran seamlessly, I don't know what we would have done without her and her team!

We can't say enough good things about Yarden and her team - they made our wedding the most special day for us and our guests!! HIGHLY recommend 1979Hawaii!!Since we were going to be planning remotely, we needed someone who was going to be great at communicating and someone we felt we could trust. From the first meeting with Yarden, we knew we wanted to work with her. She really understood what we were envisioning, what our priorities were, and made us feel so at ease. She has such a beautiful and calming energy. And as we continued to work with her through the planning process, we could just feel how genuine and caring she was with making sure we were going to have an incredible wedding. Yarden was so great understanding who we are as people and as a couple,and gave us such great guidance and advice as we got things all set up. Especially in the week leading up to our wedding she was so incredible at getting everything into place - weddings can be so stressful but truly we felt so at ease with Yarden and her team! We were both just blown away when we got to our venue and saw everything coming together. We also have to rave about 1979Hawaii's Catering and Bar services -our guests are still talking about how delicious all the food was! Everyone loved the pina coladas, and the bartenders were so much fun. Yarden showered us with so much love that day, and Laurie was a phenomenal lead-coordinator keeping things stress-free and reminding us throughout the night of all the joy around us. Everyone really went above and beyond for us and we are so grateful to have worked with Yarden and her team!

We had an absolutely phenomenal experience with the entire team at 1979 Hawaii. From email, phone calls, and the day of the event they truly took special care to ensure every detail was executed. For our day, they took care of the catering, service, lei making, hula dancing, and acai bowl station at Paliku Gardens and we could not have been more pleased with everything they were a part of. The food was wonderful, they were patient and flexible as timing shifts were made during the reception that evening, and they truly went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of the night went smoothly. Yarden worked incredibly hard to ensure all details that we discussed in advance of the day were translated. We are so happy we went with 1979 Hawaii for this special day and would 10/10 recommend them for any special event or wedding you are planning in Hawaii!

When I first booked my wedding I debated on just hiring a bartender and going away with a specialized bartender service. I'm glad I changed my mind and booked with 1979. Their service is worth every penny. The staff were extremely friendly and easy to work with along the way.I received a package that included pineapple frozen drinks which the guests loved during the warmth of an outdoor wedding. Pineapples or coconuts are a must for a hawaii wedding! The other cocktails we selected were beautifully garnished and tasted absolutely amazing. I wouldn't change a thing!
