Exquisite by Sila

At first I was thrilled. Then I began noticing added on pricing for lights, a forgotten tent, extra money for caterers to clean, extra vendor meals, etc. it was always after the fact and expensive. I would have strongly preferred all those details up front and on original quote.Despite me paying for a certain number of people, the extra food disappeared. No one in the wedding was told. Unfortunately, it came to no resolution. Kenekes said Sila was notified of the food being packed up and 6 full bags of leftovers in put in fridge. Sila said she was not notified, but took a couple half full bags of food home with her upon discovering them in her final check of property. The message was clear: we don't care and nothing will be resolved.My impression of Oahu was terrible, which was really disappointing. The island is beautiful but they have some special names and pricing for mainlanders, and none of it is flattering.The vendors have outdated payment methods and charge hundreds of extra dollars for using a credit card (only other option being to mail a cashiers check to vendor).

Sila was so amazing and truly went above and beyond for my wedding. She came highly recommended by several other wedding planners who were unfortunately out of my budget. Her rates are super fair and reasonable. I planned my wedding from California which certainly added to the stress and anxiety but from our first video chat I knew she was the one. In the months leading up to our wedding she was responsive, patient, kind, and on top of everything. There were so many details and concerns (covid brides shout out) and she handled it all. Absolutely hands down the best decision I made. On the day her lovely family helped set up and break down. She even brought extra decorations, beautiful floating candles in vases that added to the ambiance and created my wedding vision. Sila I am truly thankful for everything and I will seek you out for any future events!

I'm still in awe of how amazing our wedding turned out. We booked Exquisite by Sila for our wedding back on 8/18/18. My husband and I were blown away on how beautiful everything turned out. Sila is an excellent decorator and coordinator who is very passionate about her work. She was with us every step of the way up until the very end of our magical night. She coached me through my stressful times and eased my mind which allowed me to soak in every minute of my big day. So much weight off us and she took our vision of our big day beyond expectation! She turned a poorly decorated hall into beautiful ballroom. Not only us but our guests were wowed by every detail her and her team put in.We are so grateful for Sila and her team for all they did to make our wedding day cherished and memorable. I have and will continue to recommend Exquisite by Sila to anyone who is looking to make their next event amazing!!

Exquisite by Sila decorated my mom's 50th birthday surprise party in August 2018. The team was very organized and professional. They are also very friendly and easy to talk to. Sila explains her vision to you and she makes it happen. So so thankful for the hard work they put in. The event was amazing! They decorated the tables, set up the (beautiful & handmade) backdrop, added colorful lighting, and more. They let the decor set the tone of the party and everyone who walked was very surprised to see the transformation. You guys are awesome! Can't wait to see what you do next!

Just celebrated our Son 1st Birthday and Sila and her team did a phenomenal job ! Their work definitely surpassed what we had imagine . From planning to executing Sila was definitely fun and easy to work with, throughout the entire process she was amazing. We order a balloon Arch w/ our Son Name , a few columns and dessert backdrop with small arch/Garland as well as the tablecloths and floating balloons definitely affordable and worth every penny. We can't thank you enough for helping us make this celebration a memorable one. Honestly had us wanting to throw another party cause the decor was so amazing lol .

This local business deserves a 5-star in my book. Had them decorate for my daughter's 1st bday party and they more than just delivered, I was very much impressed and very amazed with what they had in mind. The party favors, center pieces backdrop and lighting effects was amazing. The company is run by local family so they know how we do it on the island (just another plus). And they support other local business by using them as resources. Thank you again for making my daughter's 1st bday party an unforgettable one. They are the bomb.P.S. if u guys do karaoke on ur party, ask the staff to sing (promise u will not be disappointed by their work and their voices)

My now husband and I had been planning our wedding for 2.5 years before we had to make the ultimate decision to elope due to the strict O'ahu COVID restrictions in January 2021 (wedding June 2021) when the possibility of flights, transportation and place to stay became a discussion for our guests. When we decided to elope, we decided we no longer needed our very expensive coordinate that would be very busy on the day of setting up 150 guest chairs and coordinating with vendors to make sure people were there at the right time and things were in the right place and the day was going smoothly. Now, I just needed someone to be there for us simply because our venue, Kualoa Ranch, requires a coordinator. Sila fit into our budget perfectly (better than we imagined), and helped ensure that our day ran smoothly. She helped me with a huge surprise (our first look was me in a dinosaur costume), she set up at the ceremony spot (chairs and flowers), and ensured our officiant had all the lei's. She played music (with her own speaker and own music) while we took photos after the ceremony and cleaned up the venue once we left. She was the absolute sweetest and helped us walk through the venue for the rehearsal many times. I would recommend her time and time again. She is the absolute sweetest and so willing to help with everything and anything that she can to help reduce wedding day stress. Thank you Sila for everything!
