Brittany S. "Pohai and her team really came through in a big way in making our day as smooth and as fairy-tale like as possible. We decided to plan our wedding in less than two months, but she made it so easy to plan since she was super knowledgeable of vendors, locations and everything in between. From the venue, catering, cake to all the little details and decor, she managed to bring together a great team of vendors to make our wedding vision come true. She is 120% responsive no matter the time, and she is a pleasure to work with. We really cannot express our gratitude enough for making our big day one of the best day in our lives! I would highly recommend this team if you plan to do a wedding or any type of event! Thank you Pohai, Kelly and Ashley!"

Chass C. "When we first began planning our wedding, I absolutely did not want a full coordinator. I was looking for a "Day Of" person. Let me tell you why first: 1. I have a good idea of what I want and I don't want someone telling me otherwise2. I have a hard time letting go and prefer to do things myself 3. It can be ridiculously expensiveI've met Shari before and knew that she was super sweet and funny. When my fiance met her, he was so comfortable with her and instantly had a connection. He knew he could trust her with our day and our money! All of a sudden we are hiring her to do a full coordination! The best thing my fiance could have ever done for me and this wedding. He saw an instant change in me. I was more willing to let go and allow help to, well, basically help me! I had ideas, and too many. She got me focused and paired us up to meet vendors she knew we would click with and who could best deliver our vision.Shari never told us we weren't able to have certain things, instead she advised us on the best way to get there and kept us on track. I feel that we are prepared and now just waiting for our big day. As the day is getting closer and closer, the color on my fiance's face gets paler and paler....okay, just kidding. Mainly when it comes to budget and the realization that WHOA!?! where did all that time go? Sometimes, I wonder that myself. But, Shari is such high spirited, caring, and really in-tune with us. She stops and takes the time to help put my fiance and I at ease. Even by just asking if we're okay. We were bummed that Shari won't be the coordinator performing our coordination on our day. Upon signing our agreement she did mention it to us and will be passing on her torch to her Second in Command Paula, with whom we have met already as well. Let me just say, that we are NOT worried one bit. We trust in Shari and we have full confidence that the day will come together as if Shari herself is there. Paula is just another extension of Shari!Thank you Couture Weddings Hawaii - we can't wait to take the leap as Mr & Mrs Chun with you as our trusted guides!! As for #3 - Being ridiculously expensive: CWH is a fraction of what others may charge, but the service that you get is beyond what you pay for!"

She studied Botany and helped identified wild maile vines that we were blessed enough to utilize for my husband's lei since purchasing material was very difficult during the height of Covid. We were grateful to have our immediate family members with us with the people restriction and Moana was graciously able to fly over to Kaua'i for us so we could follow through with our special day. She listened to all my asks and respectfully listened to my family's wishes as well and blended everything so effortlessly. Moana can do it all, just tell her what your wants are and she'll do whatever she can to make your special day come true, mind you during our wedding day, she was pregnant with her third child, bless her and all her sons.

With our half-destination wedding, the stunning views of Diamond Head and Waikiki were a treat for our local guests and a jaw-dropping experience for our out-of-town visitors. It was the perfect way to kick off our wedding weekend. The bartenders were fabulous--not just during the welcome party but throughout our entire stay. With our hotel block at the Queen Kapiolani for the week, it truly felt like we were in an episode of Cheers, where the bartenders knew our names and made every visit so personal and fun. Their warmth and hospitality added such a memorable touch to our celebrations. It's an exceptional venue, and we couldn't recommend the team at Queen Kapiolani Hotel enough for any group events. Between the breathtaking scenery and the outstanding service, everything exceeded our expectations and helped make our wedding weekend unforgettable!"

Kelli C. "Lisa did a fantastic job as our wedding coordinator. She was easy to work with, responsive, and coordinated with all of our vendors to ensure our day went smoothly. She had great knowledge of our venue and insight to share regarding our program. She and her assistant worked really hard the day of to set up our favors, linens, napkins, check-in table, lawn games, and much more. Everything turned out even better than I could've imagined. I want to share a little glimpse into our wedding day that displays how truly amazing Lisa is: We were on the fence about our outdoor setup because it was off and on raining. We were all constantly checking our weather forecast apps to help make the call on whether or not to move our tables under the pavilion. While I can see most coordinators urging me to just play it safe and move everything in, Lisa didn't do that. She trusted me and respected me and said she would support whichever decision I made. Long story short, I wanted to take the chance, despite some iffy conditions. It meant A LOT to me to know that Lisa would support me either way instead of pushing me in one direction. The weather was totally fine and I'm so glad I stuck with my decision :) Lisa's husband, JR, did an awesome job with our photo booth, too! Lots of fun props and clear printouts. They even did a custom template for our printouts design according to some inspiration I sent them. Incredible.All in all, a great experience working with Lisa and JR - I highly recommend them!!"

That being said I could not be more thankful I hired Chavah and her team to help for my special day. I never thought having a destination wedding would be so difficult, but Chavah and her team were ready for anything anyone (vendors, weather, life) threw at me. They were a few steps ahead of me every step of the day. Not only were they amazing at communicating, they also had an awesome online program we used to communicate (tasks, budgets, timelines, etc). I am SO HAPPY I hired Vida Chic for the special day (wedding planning + florals), if you're on the fence - make the call and hire them. You won't regret it."

Jasmind T. "This review is long overdue for June!My [then fiance, now] wife is a diligent student of Astrology, and as such, it was imperative that we wed on an advantageous day & time to ensure a long lasting marriage. After months of readings and study we found the date that worked best for us...FINALLY! Only issue was, we had reserved another date for our "wedding" that worked best for family & friends to visit. Since we couldn't move that date we decided to find an officiant who could accommodate our needs. My wife came upon June during her research and reached out. We talked story about our journey & why getting married on that specific day at that specific time was a necessity, and in return she fully embraced and understood why we needed to get married when we did. As a Black lesbian couple, it was important that we find an officiant who could not only respect our wishes, but also respect us as a couple (so odd that I'm writing a line like that in 2019, but here we are), and we couldn't have found a better ally than June.I'd HIGHLY recommend June for any wedding or vow renewal. Her energy is bright and embracing. All 3 of us radiated in love and light that day; we even had a small sun shower during our vows. It was perfect.Hiring June also didn't break the bank as she was very open about accommodating all of our needs including financially. Many thanks & blessings again June for our beautiful day!-Team Thomas"

The hotel provided several florist recommendations but none of them would deliver on Sunday. We had heard about Lanikai Wedding and contacted them to see if they knew someone who could help us. Janet personally made sure everything we wanted was taken care of even though we did not use them for the wedding. A huge Mahalo to Janet and Lanikai Wedding for making our granddaughter's first married day a memorable one. Highly recommend them."

Jackie R. "After seeing the marquee lights on a friend's Instagram, I immediately knew I would need those lights at my wedding. I asked my friend and she gladly gave me the name of her vendor, which turned out to be Designed with Aloha. What a perfect name. It was a pleasure working with Anthony, who was incredibly responsive from the very beginning. Anthony presented us with two types of aloha setups; you could either have a pineapple or heart where the letter 'o' would be. We opted for the heart. Communication was always a breeze. Anthony was very transparent with pricing, offered pictures and advice, when necessary. When our guest size decreased significantly due to a chain of events and we needed to downsize our dance floor, Anthony had no qualms with it. I was honestly nervous when I reached out to him because I didn't think the dance floor would be proportional to our guest size. Luckily he was very flexible and amended our contract to reflect the changes. I never had the opportunity to meet Anthony the day of the wedding but once I saw the lights and dance floor, my heart melted. It was everything I had dreamed of; the lights were GORGEOUS and the dance floor was beautiful. I have to also mention that the dance floor is made of good quality. It rained the morning of our wedding so needless to say, the grass was still wet. Seeing how the dance floor was wet from the grass (due to people having to get off the dance floor to grab more booze), I thought a lot of people were going to slip, including myself. Everyone was fine, even when uncoordinated from the alcohol so I must say, I was impressed with the dance floor. Everyone truly loved the aloha lights and it was the perfect backdrop for our wedding photos. I'm so glad we got the lights, dance floor, and opportunity to work with Anthony. He does great work and is an awesome guy. Book him!"

Her warmth, professionalism, easy going personality and exceptional attention to detail immediately put us at ease during what could have been a very stressful time.Sandra took the time to really understand our vision for the day, and she went above and beyond to bring my Pinterest boards to life. From providing a list of wonderful trustworthy vendors (photographers, videographers, florist), to managing the setup, the timeline and schedule for us - we are so grateful to have Finishing Touch for all these aspects to make our wedding flawlessly executed. She guided us through every step of the planning process with patience and grace, always offering valuable advice and solutions to any challenges that arose (especially when our venue coordinator went on medical leave and had a temp. coordinator step in). Planning a destination wedding in North Shore, Oahu from Seattle, Washington was not challenging with Sandra. Our meetings were very thorough and productive. She always ensured we had plenty of time to make decisions and always cautioned us if she found anything troubling. We really respect for honesty and dedication to making sure we come first.On the day of the wedding, Sandra and her team worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that everything ran smoothly (rain or shine!) They handled every detail with precision and professionalism, allowing us to relax and truly enjoy our special day as much as we could.

Dianna Shitanishi saved our special day.We knew we wanted to get married at Lanikuhonua ever since we went to a friend's wedding a few years ago. But we didn't think about all the challenges that arise with have an outdoor wedding at an independent location. You basically have to bring everything from the food to the drinks to the tables and chairs to the linen to the silverware to the AV equipment. And being that we had just moved back to Hawaii from San Francisco, we had no idea what vendors to check out, much less book with so little lead time. We were literally freaking out.Dianna restored our sanity. She helped us find some great vendors. She gave us a detailed checklist and plan for everything that needed to happen all the way through the wedding day. Since she's done numerous weddings at Lanikuhonua, she knew all of the challenges and the best way to deal with them. And most importantly, she counseled us in a way that always provided us with a sense of relief for having contracted her.Her depth of expertise in this field is invaluable. We definitely recommend her to all of our friends getting married."

She offered to hire a couple people to help us set up, but we declined since we had a lot of family to help. There were too many people and none of us knew what needed to be done.

She was very accommodating to last minute changes/additions for our ceremony needs.The photographer she contracted for us (Erwin) did a great job (as you can see by the pics I posted) and was very professional. He was very accommodating in helping us re-enact a picture taken with my family 9 years prior.The flowers she arranged were also beautiful. So pretty that I brought all of them home and am in process of having them preserved and put into shadowboxes.Rev. Rosemary was also very nice in blessing my husband's new wedding ring; which replaced the one that was lost in Hanauma Bay while snorkeling (shaking fist). Her blessing of the ring makes it more sentimental and important to us both as yet another Hawaii souvenir.I highly recommend Rev.

Rachel M. "My partner and I live in Seattle but we decided to get married home in HI since that's where most of our family is. (I personally wanted to elope but my partner is old fashioned and wanted to invite all of our family and friends lol).I have a background in event planning (albeit, not with weddings, which have their own unique considerations) so I had originally planned to just work with the venue coordinator for whatever venue we went with. After a very frustrating, disappointing experience with a potential venue while we were home in HI a year before our planned wedding date, I decided to search for a third-party wedding coordinator. I actually found TGAC while searching for wedding coordinators on Yelp while we were driving away from our not-great venue experience.What drew me to TGAC was that I wanted to support a business with values that aligned with my own. TGAC is queer and Kānaka owned, stewards sustainable wedding practices, and focuses on weddings that honor and celebrate couples' uniqueness, even aspects may not align with traditional wedding standards. Plus have you seen their IG? So funny, cute, and informative! Full of great inspo.The planning resources they provide are very useful, especially for folks that may feel overwhelmed with where to start in regards to how to prioritize invitations, create a budget, create seating charts, etc. Though I feel like I could've gone with the shorter/less-expensive packages, I'm glad I went with the three-month package. The three months allowed us more spaciousness to focus on things like planning our rehearsal lunch, managing RSVPs, virtually wrangling our wedding party for their outfit fittings, etc. while we handed off more of the vendor communication and administrative tracking to their team. The three months also allowed us to become familiar with Malia (our coordinator) and make sure that everyone was on the same page.We also booked their sister companies for our wedding:- Wedcycle Hawaiʻi: wedding decor rentals (better for the environment and your budget! tons of cute, useful items)- The Mahu Kahu: officiant services"

I have been fortunate enough to receive the latter three services. I cannot recommend Kahu Pomaika'i enough. She's extremely calming and graceful, knowledgeable and intuitive, skilled and connected. Kahu actually conducted a ho'oponopono for me on the island of Kauai in 2009; I had a fractured elbow and wrist and was in a good amount of pain, both physically and emotionally (many time the two are connected, as you probably know). She led me into the calm Haena waters and chanted over me, praying for my healing. I kid you not, I was healed instantly. And I am not a hysterical personality, either, I assure you. Spiritual as I am, I possess a healthy dose of rationality and skepticism. Nonetheless, I went into the water with her in a lot of pain, and then ... it was gone. I really was healed.I believe in Kahu Pomaika'i's gifts and talents and anybody lucky enough to obtain her for weddings, blessings or the ho'oponopono ceremony are fortunate indeed."

She offered either 2 or 12 doves. There's nothing in between, just those 2 options. For our wedding, 2 doves is all we need. The price that she quoted was reasonable, which is why we decided to go with her. She doesn't respond to e-mail that quick, but she is great on the phone. My planner is the one who deals with her directly. This is the sense that I get from their communication. She doesn't accept credit card, just check. I just decided to hire her, and I am sending off the check in the mail today. UPDATE: The doves were at my wedding in time for our ceremony, and we were able to have them be part of our ceremony. My wedding planner was able to connect with them to make all of this seamless. During the ceremony, they patiently waited to the side, and when the time came for us to release the doves, they instructed us on how to do it! I have no complaints. Everything was perfect and beautiful!"

I didn't like it at all that she wore all black. So if you are getting married make sure you know what Jodi is wearing. She kept telling us that she was sick. But a wedding is a wedding. You should look bright and at least she should have worn something more colorful being that it was in Hawaii. Like I said make sure you ask what she is wearing because on my pictures she looks like the slender man. Pretty scary. That why I don't want to post any pictures that we took with her.

Lauren also provided a very thorough timeline for the wedding day, which we went over multiple times to ensure that nothing was missed and everything/everyone was accounted for. Since our wedding was at two locations (one location for the ceremony and another location for the reception), a strict timeline was necessary. On the day of, she took care of EVERYTHING.
