Love Letter Weddings

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Our experience with Louise and her Love Letters Wedding (LLW) team was nothing short of phenomenal. From the initial consultation to the last dance at our reception, every moment was orchestrated with precision, care, and sheer brilliance. Louise took the time to get to know us as a couple, understanding our personalities, preferences, and quirks. This personal touch made all the difference as her and her team curated a wedding experience that felt uniquely "us" in every way.With an 8 month timeline and wedding planning from California, a full service wedding planner that would handle the day to day vendor coordination, budgeting, timeline, and design was a non-negotiable for us. We never felt out of loop in the planning process, and the Love Letter Team was always quick to respond. When I say Louise runs a tight shift, I mean it! Love Letters Wedding seamlessly coordinated every aspect of our wedding, from sourcing the perfect vendors who aligned with our vision and budget to meticulously planning out every detail of the timeline. The planning process was broken down into phases that made it seem less daunting and an amazing perk was the included AislePlanner wedding planning tool giving us access to an online planning platform to keep us organized and on track. On the day of the wedding, Louise was our rock. Amidst the whirlwind of excitement and emotions, she remained cool, calm, and collected, ensuring that everything ran seamlessly behind the scenes. Everything went without a hitch! Or if there were hiccups, we will never know. I guess that's how great they are :). To us, the day was absolute perfection and we are grateful for the lifetime of memories, celebrating our love surrounded by all the most important people in our lives. We still have our family raving about how it was the most beautiful and well executed wedding they have attended! If you're looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to bring your vision to life and create an unforgettable experience, look no further. Love Letter Weddings is simply the best. We are forever grateful to them. Thank you Louise and LLW team!

From a type A, detailed oriented, perfectionist.... There is absolutely no one better on this island to plan a wedding than Louise and her team. From the very first meeting to waking up the morning after, it was seamless. She truly is perfection. She listens, directs, takes care of you. She becomes a friend. Her organization is next level and that says a lot coming from me. Everything leading up to the big day was put at ease due to the entire team. The day is something out of a fairytale. We truly felt like we were celebrities that day. We were catered to in a way that I never thought was possible. Blotting papers on hand, sand wiped off our feet, cocktails and food delivered to us constantly, photos, videos, hair fixes... you name it. Flowers in our bouquet replaced and fixed. All while smiling, hyping us up and telling us how beautiful we look. If you are looking for a wedding planner, please don't look any further. I miss talking to Louise, that's how special she is. The entire team is outstanding and we without a doubt had our dream wedding solely because of them. Thank you again, we love you all!

When we first decided on a destination wedding in Hawaii, Louise was the first wedding planner we interviewed. As soon as we met on zoom, we were very drawn to her calm, collected, and detail oriented personality. Once we got started with the planning process, she never failed to disappoint. She always had the quickest response times, helped us select wonderful vendors, and most importantly brought our wedding design and vision to life! No matter what obstacles or changes we encountered, Louise always had a solution for everything. She even helped repair one of our pillow cushions for our welcome party which was an event she wasn't even planning for us! She truly cares deeply for her clients and you can see the strong passion she has for planning weddings. Thank you Louise + the LLW team for making our dream wedding come true! :)

I cannot believe it took me this long to write this review. I had the wedding of my dreams thanks to Louise and the Love Letter Weddings team! I should caveat that I am from Chicago, and am a self aware very detail-oriented, design obsessed person who was psyched to have a wedding in Hawaii but had zero idea of where to start. I also knew that I wanted to have a stylish wedding that incorporated my Chinese culture and still represented me and my now husband's taste being a little more modern -- but that I didn't want a Hawaii-themed wedding. Louise and LLW delivered.I'd highly recommend Louise and do the full service start-to-finish planning option she offers -- despite my pickiness we were able to confirm venue, catering, floral, makeup and hotel vendors on ONE site trip. The biggest value is that Louise has incredible relationships with vendors on the island and she could steer us to narrowed down top choices for our style and budget right away -- immediately saving us hours. Not to mention, there are a million things you can't tell about a vendor from their website or IG profile -- namely how professional, on time, consistent, or adaptable they are if things go wrong -- and Louise and team knew all of those nuances on top of having very close relationships with any vendor you'd consider on the island. You just don't want to have to worry about those things when you have the fun big decisions to make. Louise was endlessly patient even when I had so many questions and calls, and never made me feel silly for wanting to try something different. She and her team (shout out Edna!) were collaborative and fun, and when some things needed pivots or attention on the day of -- her team was there. I cannot recommend Louise enough; honestly if you're not sure about who to go to for a planner - please PM me and I'd be happy to tell you about our experience.

My husband and I just recently married at Aulani in Hawai'i with Love Letter as our floral vendor. The process was fairly straightforward and easy. After we selected Love Letter as our vendor, we were immediately connected with Makana. We were asked to fill out a questionnaire that would give Love Letter an idea of what our price range was and what we were looking for.After we submitted the form, Makana and the team provided us with a very helpful visual guide proposal with multiple price options so we had a general idea of what we wanted, colors, and types of flowers. We then had a zoom call with Makana and they walked us through more of the proposal and to answer any questions we had. We ended up going with local, tropical florals with a lot of greenery: Lei's for ourselves and our wedding party, flower crowns for the flower girls, a beautiful floral arrangement for the alter, petals in the aisle way with the mickey mouse design, bud vases for the cocktail hour, a lovely flower arrangement for our memorial table, and the most amazing floral arrangements for our ballroom. Makana provided their expertise as well of staggering tall and short arrangements on the various tables to give it dimension vs. everything looking really flat. They also offered us some additional cost savings by repurposing the floral on the alter to be used for various other decorations, including our sweethearts table.Many of our guests were awestruck with how amazing all the floral arrangements turned out and they looked amazing in our photos. We also loved the additional Disney magic of including some hidden mickeys into the floral arrangements. Day of the wedding, we were able to catch Makana and their team setting up the floral arrangements as we checked in the morning. Makana also coordinated directly with our Disney wedding lead and delivered our beautiful leis so we could wear them for our family photos.We love all the hard work and detail that Makana and the Love Letter team did for our wedding and it really put the extra aloha look and feel to our big day. Mahalo to Makana and the Love Letter team! Highly recommend 100%!

I 100% recommend Love Letter Weddings to anyone getting married on Oahu - we absolutely love Louise and her wonderful team. To anyone starting the wedding planning process - passing along this key advice: a fabulous coordinator/planner is KEY & absolutely worth the investment. I could write a novel describing all the ways they ensured we had our dream wedding and truly went ABOVE AND BEYOND so many times. I'll keep it to just 5 reasons we were so happy with LLW (I could write 100). 1. Why we picked LLW: It was an extensive process - I received a list from a friend who is involved in the Oahu wedding scene of the coordinators/planners he felt were best/had 0 red flags. I researched them all and chatted with ~5 who were all excellent. I was down to LLW and another planner, so let my husband choose between the two and he knew immediately after meeting via Zoom that LLW was for us based on Louise's vibe, availability throughout the process, and tech-savvy-ness. I grew up in Hawaii, but we planned our wedding from the east coast and felt Louise and LLW bridged the destination and local wedding chasm effortlessly. Also, Louise is NOT PUSHY AT ALL in terms of trying to upsell you on packages or anything. She portrays a sincere desire to give you what you need/want in terms of help - something I greatly appreciated. :)2. Truly professional and prompt: Louise responds promptly to emails and if she is going to take a while due to weddings or vacations, she lets you know so you are never left hanging. This was a huge deal to us! My husband (tech) and me (medicine) wish we had the email etiquette Louise and her team have in our own work they are so good. 3. Maid of Honor for Hire Package: I chose this package because I was genuinely excited to plan our wedding and in discussion with Louise felt this was the right one for me. Compared to other "partial planning/coordination" packages, I felt that Louise's offered the most flexibility and availability to ask questions and consult about various parts of the planning process. It was perfect for me and could not recommend it more!4. Above and Beyond: A couple of snafus happened during the process that Louise handled and helped us through like a champ. First, while visiting the office early on, my car got towed - and LOUISE DROVE MY MOM AND ME TO THE TOW YARD. Second, when my welcome wedding sign did not arrive from Etsy on time, LLW made us a gorgeous one for our wedding (see photos). Third, I folded 1000 cranes and wanted them behind us - they were a tangled mess, but they made it look amazing. Lastly, my mom was eager to help and be involved, which was great but sometimes stressful - Louise also was so kind to my mom who asked a million questions and even helped me suggest ways to help reduce the stress around my mom trying to take over the wedding planning. :) My family called Louise was an angel for this wedding planner superpower! 5. Our Perfect/Dream Wedding: The most important thing! Our wedding was truly perfect! We were so happy. Everything came out the way we wanted and the day was so fun and stress-free. Louise and her team made our vision come true and our guests had an amazing time - some said it was the most beautiful wedding they've ever been to - which I attribute to Louise and the LLW team. Clearly based on the length of this review, we were absolutely thrilled with LLW. Trust your wedding to Louise and the LLW team - you will be so glad you did.Thank you, Louise and the LLW team for the best day ever - we can't thank you enough!

Our journey began at Kualoa Ranch, where we first explored their recommended wedding planners. Love Letter Weddings immediately stood out to me. The website was incredibly detailed (just my style!) and user-friendly, and the stunning visuals convinced us that this team was perfect for planning our wedding.After reaching out, we quickly arranged a Zoom meeting with Louise. Her calm, friendly demeanor and warm smile left a lasting impression on us. We knew right away she was the right fit. She listened attentively as I shared my detailed ideas and my wife's additional visions for the planning. From the very beginning, we felt completely at ease and confidently booked our two-year planning journey with Louise and her floral team.As our wedding day approached, Louise and her team executed every detail flawlessly. They brought our vision to life in ways we hadn't even imagined--everything from the elegant decor to the breathtaking flower arrangements (wow!) and the thoughtful touches that made our day uniquely ours. Louise is not just an exceptional planner; she truly connects with her clients, transforming their visions into an unforgettable reality. Everything we envisioned was brought to life perfectly. We appreciate her honesty throughout the planning process. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and are incredibly grateful to have had Louise and her team by our side. Their attention to detail and seamless coordination left everyone in awe. Our guests are still raving about our wedding, and they're already anticipating our 10-year celebration! We can't wait to work with LLW and LLW Flowers again in the future. We wholeheartedly recommend this remarkable team--they will undoubtedly make your special day unforgettable. Thank you so much for all your hard work, honesty, and patience! We truly mean it from the bottom of our hearts.

Love Letter Weddings is hands down the best money spent and best vendor decision we made for our big day. We could not recommend Louise, her exceptional service and team more. My now husband and I are based in Los Angeles, but picked Hawaii as our destination given I'm from New Zealand and he's from New York. We were initially flying pretty blind, and our venue of choice required an approved planner to coordinate on our behalf. After some extensive social media and internet research, we thought Louise might be a fit right away and it turns out she was indeed a perfect match just minutes into our first consultation.We opted for the Maid of Honor package, which meant LLW provided a list of recommended vendors for us to choose from, a full online planning service (Aisle Planner) with a budget Louise's team put together. Louise was also fully contactable to us throughout for any and all questions. She gave amazing advice, provided key milestones and deadlines to keep us on track, then one month out from the wedding, we had an extensive handover meeting and LLW took it over from there. To say our minds were blown at LLW's expertise, professionalism and attention to detail is an understatement. We literally could not have pulled off our dream wedding without Louise and her team. Leading into the wedding, they were amazing at ticking off the things we hadn't thought of, picking up our master timeline, locking in call times and all details with vendors and pulling together those final touches. They made it all feel so simple, when we knew that wasn't the case.The day of the wedding, our guests were in awe at the team around us. When a LLW team member walked my father and I to the top of the aisle, they even offered us breath mints, and me Vaseline for my ring finger. They didn't miss a beat - they set up our decor, tent, table settings, flowers and ceremony just as we envisioned and made it all perfect down to the last detail. They were always in the right spot to cue the key beats of the night; ensure speakers had champagne for toasts; brought my husband and I food/cocktails during our photos; set up favors and dessert and had everything run flawlessly and according to plan. At the end of the night, Louise even had our leftover alcohol, gifts, bouquets and signs packed away on the bus before we even got on board. She was also able to hook up my dress train in about 10 seconds after several minutes of the bridesmaids struggling! We feel so fortunate to have met and shared our experience with Louise and quite honestly - we miss our regular Zooms with her! This is one of the most hard-working, organized, personable and dream teams you could ever met. So many of our guests have told us this is one of the best weddings they've ever been to. We of course had our vision in mind, but there's no way it would've been half the success it was without Louise and her team. Thank you so much Love Letter Weddings and truly - look no further than them if you are planning a destination wedding.

For those of you planning on having a wedding on Oahu, I 100% Love Letter Weddings. We did a destination wedding there(we are located in california) and Louise helped us navigate through all the details, kept us on track even though we can be very delayed, and gave us the wedding we could only dream of. Her pricing is more than fair and so worth it. Weddings are extremely stressful(understated) and her talent and organize allows for a smooth process. She keeps everything organized with a separate program that allows us to track guests, moodboards, budgets, events, timelines, as well as regular zoom meetings. This is great because my wife and I are both visual and auditory learners and having both really makes the process easy. Louise knows all the great vendors out there and with hawaiian time being a real thing, she is able to connect with them and make sure things happen on time. This to me, was one of the greatest benefits. Not living there or knowing who does what and having that all taken care of really brought our stress levels down. Her team is extremely talented and nice and they all make you feel so special :). I, as the groom, am not so plan-oriented compared to my wife and I know that drove her crazy but Louise was able to balance everything and keep me in check. She responded quickly to all emails, questions, concerns, and really took the time to get to know us to make the process easier. The actual event:It was beyond great and she gave us and the guests such a wonderful experience. Her and her team transformed our already beautiful paliku venue into everything we spoke about and drew out. Her timeline was flawless and her attention to detail really showed. I know i already mentioned this but her connections and friends/vendors were all so great and accomodating and we really felt the hawaiian love. If you have gotten this far, I feel like you might really be considering Louise and a wedding in hawaii. She is truly so talented and will make your wedding better than you could of imagined in your head. Thank you Louise and team for making our day so special and something we will always remember and be so grateful for.

Would have loved more empathy and compassion in communication for our situation instead of the 'awe, bummer I'm sorry etc...' type of vibe we felt you gave off, where it comes off more corporate than being understanding of us being human and how life happens sometimes. This situation happened just after we had to cancel everything out of the blue a few months back for personal reasons, but it is what it is and regardless of how it went, we'll still kindly give you four stars anyway, because even if our experience wasn't the greatest in the end with you, we care enough to still support your business. All the best to you and I only hope that one day you understand how it feels.
