Finishing Touch

My wife and I worked with Finishing Touch for our wedding in March 2024. I can't say enough great things about the quality of work and expertise Sandra and her team had from start to finish.One of the most remarkable aspects of our experience was the impeccable organization and coordination. Every element of our wedding, from the food vendor to the floral arrangements, was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. During the wedding day I didn't even have to think, Sandra and her team had everything outlined and prepared. There was a moment where we sat down at our Sweetheart table to start the main reception and I had a thought, "I need to head to the bar to get myself and wife a drink." Right at the end of that thought I had one of her staff deliver us our plates of dinner along and asked what drinks we wanted. Within what felt like seconds our cocktails magically appeared. I know it's small but at that moment we felt pretty darn spoiled and taken care of. Because Sandra and her team were so attentive it really allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of our Big Day. Also big shout out to Sandra for helping us resolve a small family situation. We had a service drop off our Chinese Grandma (94 years old) but they dropped her off like 45 mins early at the venue while we were taking pictures elsewhere. Grandma was with a family member who doesn't speak Cantonese so they were both confused on what to do and where to go. Sandra rushed over to them and spoke to Grandma in Cantonese and handled the situation. That's the level of care you'll get from Finishing Touch. Thank you again Sandra and Team for making our day so memorable and smooth!

If you are looking for a wonderful wedding planner/coordinator, my husband and I highly recommend Finishing Touch LLC. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding, and we owe so much of that to Sandra and her incredible team (Kandis and Nicole). From the moment we met 13 months prior to our wedding, we knew we were in good hands with Sandra. 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. We are so grateful for her expertise, dedication, and genuine care throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your day unforgettable, look no further than Sandra at Finishing Touch LLC. We cannot recommend her highly enough!Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,Tien & Grant

Planning our wedding with Finishing Touch was the best decision we could have made! Planning a destination wedding can be very stressful, but Sandra and her team made the whole process seamless. Sandra's attention to detail, prompt communication, and great design style are just a few of her best attributes! The rest of the team is just as amazing. Kandis and Lei assisted me throughout the entire planning process--reaching out to vendors, organizing invoices, and keeping track of deadlines. Nicole was my day-of coordinator, and she was so sweet and helpful!Sandra and her team truly have that "finishing touch" that sets them apart.

Sandra is worth every. penny. She planned and designed me wedding on Oahu while we were living in Washington. I thought I had a pretty general idea of what I wanted my wedding to look like, but it turns out I didn't because Sandra asked me so many questions about the small details I would have forgotten. And on the big day, she was somehow everywhere at the same time. I don't know how she did it, but I didn't have to lift a finger for anything. Our big day was so stress free and we had so much fun. Highly highly recommend if you are looking for a wedding planner and designer!

My friend recommended Finishing Touch to me and I am soooo happy I listened to her. Sandra and her team are absolutely amazing at what they do. She is super friendly and easy to talk to / work with, which made the whole planning process a breeze.We had begun our planning Dec 2019 for a March 2021 wedding, but as we all know covid hit. Although we didn't get our big celebration in 2021, she still offered some help for our mini backyard wedding by keeping me in communication with some of the vendors that I still wanted to use for our mini celebration. Also I just want to add in what a challenge it must've been for them to plan all these weddings during covid due to all the rollercoaster of changes in regulations that needed to be followed. But they continued to keep us in high spirits and were so organized in keeping us updated and moving our wedding date with the vendors. I didn't even have to do anything, but tell her which new date I wanted to postpone to!And in 2022 that's when we had our dream (second) wedding at Lanikuhonua. There was no way I could have pull off everything they did for a venue that provides nothing, but a big open space with a breathtaking sunset. The amount of details and logistics they had to provide seemed so effortless. Sandra basically asks you what you want for your wedding and makes it 10x better than you could have expected. For example, I didn't even think about how the table setting would be or even look like, she just gathered a dinner menu, our favors, and a name place card from me and she added in a little sprig and had the napkins folded a certain way, she even ordered gold utensils! They truly add in their own little finishing touches and it truly makes all the difference. One thing that impressed me the most was the behind the scenes action. So we had an open bar and bought all our beverages from Costco and my husband and I thought we knew our guests drink preferences well, but clearly not! Of course they all went for the hard liquor, which we were almost out of before the reception even begun! But here comes Sandra behind the scenes sending one of her team members to make an alcohol run for us so that we wouldn't run out. I was so impressed. And I only found out because my mom told me later about it. Crazy right?! And we all know how important alcohol can be at a wedding, lol.There really isn't anything bad I can say about Finishing Touch. They are a bit on the pricier side, but in all honesty SO worth it. The amount of planning, designing, and coordination they put into weddings is phenomenal and I would not have had it any other way. On that note, if you want the wedding of your dreams, save yourself some time and hire Sandra and her team! We truly appreciate and are so lucky to have had her. Thank you!

Sandra and her team at Finishing Touch are absolutely phenomenal! As a couple who was planning a wedding remotely (we are based in California), deciding to go with Sandra was the best decision for our wedding planning process by far. We can't express how grateful we are for her expertise and support. From our very first meeting, Sandra's warmth and professionalism put us at ease. Her attention to detail is unparalleled, and she has an incredible knack for bringing even the vaguest ideas (e.g. disco balls, late night munchies, afterparty ideas, etc.) to life and making our wedding vision a reality. Throughout the planning process, Sandra was always available to answer questions, offer suggestions, and calm our nerves. She has an extensive network of pre-vetted vendors and was able to connect us with top-notch professionals who perfectly matched our vision and budget. Her ability to negotiate and coordinate with vendors saved us both time and money.On the day of our wedding, everything ran like clockwork thanks to Sandra and her team. They handled every little detail, from setting up decorations to coordinating with vendors, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our special day with each other, our wedding party, and our guests. The event was even more beautiful than we had imagined, and our guests are still raving about how perfect the wedding was.What truly sets Sandra apart is her genuine care for her clients. She took the time to understand our personalities and preferences, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding reflected who we are as a couple. She was able to adapt and handle last minute changes that we (or our guests) threw at her and her team. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your dream wedding a reality, look no further than Sandra and Finishing Touch. They are worth every penny and more. Our perfect day wouldn't have been possible without them. Five stars doesn't even begin to cover the exceptional service and experience they provide! 10/10 would recommend for your wedding!

Sandra is extremely knowledgeable and meticulous. Everything we planned out perfectly. Would not be able to carry out such awesome wedding without her. Cannot recommend her more!

Throughout our entire wedding process, my husband and I kept saying Sandra was the best decision we made. We found Sandra by researching online but realized that she had done two different weddings of people that we know in Asia. Our Hawaii wedding was a destination wedding for us and we started planning one year out, so we interacted with Sandra over a twelve month period over many emails and Zoom calls. Sandra and Kandis were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. I really don't know what we would've done without Finishing Touch. A couple of things that really stood out: They got my vision completely and tried to work within our budget. I liked that Sandra wasn't pushy with anything. I never felt like she was trying to make me spend more than I wanted. She was extremely responsive (I had heard horror stories of planners in Italy for example not responding to emails for an entire month). She was very thorough in answering all of our questions and always provided alternative options/solutions. She is also very detail oriented so I never had to worry that anything would fall through the cracks. They are process-oriented, which I appreciated. Given our planning process was a year-long, I liked how there was a rough timeline, i.e. there were certain decisions that could be made early on but there were also certain things that had to wait closer to the date. Sandra made sure we hit all those milestones and got all the prep work done in a timely manner. I really appreciated the questionnaires she made us fill out as it really helped nail down a lot of the details, especially things that I hadn't thought about. Their execution on the day of was flawless. I've been to weddings where I've seen the bride stressed out on the day of her wedding. I was determined not to be like that and Sandra and her team made that possible. I didn't have to worry about a single thing and the entire schedule ran smoothly. It was truly stress-free and that was all possible thanks to Finishing Touch. Lastly, the vendors she recommended were all excellent. I was skeptical about a few since we hadn't done a trial with some of them, i.e. we hadn't really heard the band sing live before, but we were blown away by all the vendors. They were all excellent and you could tell that they've worked with Finishing Touch many times before. We received so many compliments on our wedding and you can see from the photos how beautiful it was! Finishing Touch is really worth every penny, especially if you are looking to do a destination wedding. I enjoyed working with Sandra and her team so much and highly highly recommend her to anyone looking for a planner in Hawaii!

I cannot express enough gratitude for Sandra and her exceptional wedding planning services. From the moment I stumbled upon her Instagram profile, I knew she was the one to turn our dream destination wedding into a reality. Her ability to elegantly bring together the visions of other couples caught my attention, and I was certain she could work wonders for us.Choosing a wedding planner that you have never met and entrusting in that person to bring your ideas to light is such a huge commitment. So I am so happy that I found her and trusted my gut! My husband and I from California so we opted for Sandra's full year wedding planning services, and it was the best decision we could have made. It was the best investment. Sandra was not only professional but also incredibly friendly throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond by arranging in-person meetings when we were in town for vacation, allowing us to discuss every detail face-to-face. Additionally, she coordinated food tastings during our visits, making the experience even more delightful.Sandra's level of organization and ease of collaboration were truly commendable. Her attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our wedding was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. On the day of our wedding, I was amazed at how stress-free and relaxed I felt. It was evident that Sandra and her team had everything under control, allowing my husband and I to truly enjoy our special day. Not only did Sandra exceed our expectations in terms of organization and execution, but she also demonstrated a genuine passion for her work. Her dedication to making our wedding a memorable experience was truly heartwarming. The level of care and commitment displayed by Sandra and her team was unparalleled.I cannot recommend Sandra highly enough. If you are planning a destination wedding or any special event, she is the one to trust. Sandra's expertise, professionalism, and delightful personality make her an absolute joy to work with. Our wedding day was a dream come true. Thank you Sandra and to your amazing team! We are so grateful for making our wedding night so memorable! All my family kept saying how we had an amazing planner and I couldn't agree more!

We are so glad we went with Finishing Touch for our wedding. Sandra and her team did an incredible job, specifically they executed the wedding day and surrounding events flawlessly. Sandra was fantastic at rehearsal and directed the wedding party accordingly. We also saw Sandra overseeing the tent and chair set up the day of the wedding. It was nice to know she had her eye on everything and we just got to enjoy and soak in the day! We didn't have worry at all the day of the wedding as Sandra and her team had everything under control and taken care of. Prior to all of this, Sandra and the team were very responsive to email throughout the planning process and answered our many questions. Sandra and her team provided great vendor options, a full timeline for multiple events and took care of all of the vendor coordination and set up. While we did put a lot of time and effort into the wedding planning ourselves, it truly wouldn't have been what it was without Finishing Touch. It was really a wonderful feeling to show up at our wedding events and see everything come together perfectly. Our wedding weekend was truly amazing. Everything we envisioned came to life and all the events went seamlessly. We were truly impressed by how everything turned out - Finishing Touch was really able to understand our vision and design ideas and executed them to perfection! Big thanks to Finishing Touch for helping to make our wedding and the whole wedding weekend come to life.
