    I was referred to A Happy Maui Wedding by the concierge from The Royal Kahana Resort. My now husband and I had this crazy idea to get married in Hawaii and I wanted to get more information. Jeff was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful at answering my questions. I was AMAZED at how affordable his services were. After speaking with Jeff and my parents we went ahead and booked our wedding for February 22, 2015. We booked our wedding in October 2014 and Jeff was helpful throughout the whole process. Even when I had a major scare when The Royal Kahana was sold out! Jeff gave me some great resources and I was able to book a fabulous beach front condo at the resort and hold our ceremony there. Our package included my bouquet, a boutonniere for my husband, two flower lei's for the lei exchange, a ukulele player, a photographer and beach permit for photos. Jeff performed a BEAUTIFUL ceremony and our ukulele player was FABULOUS. There were definitely tears of happiness shed that day. I would highly recommend A Happy Maui Wedding for anyone who wants a stress free destination wedding planner. I can't wait to use them again someday for our vow renewal :)

    My wife Linda and I returned to Maui this year for our 31st Anniversary. We had Honeymooned here in August 1982! This time we brought two of our three children along with us. After doing extensive research and making several inquiries over the past six months I decided to go with Jeff Bond and his company "A Happy Maui Wedding.Com"! From the start I told Jeff I wanted this to be a total surprise to my wife! He had some great suggestions to follow to assure it would indeed be a surprise! I told my Bride and two daughters Samantha 24, and Jessica 23 what the plans would be! I decided to tell Linda the four of us were going to breakfast to meet some old friends I had run into while shopping by myself! So we all dress up Maui style and head to the Gazebo Restaurant on Napili Bay's South side for our breakfast date! Jeff suggested I have the four of us walk down onto the beach to wait for our late friends! Once on the beach I was instructed to approach Jeff to request a family picture and which time I dropped down unto my knee and asked for her hand again after 31 years! Thankfully she accepted. Jeff helped with all the details and everything went off perfectly! The help he gave me with my vows, how nicely he was dressed, the beautiful flowers made by his wife provided for all four of us were some of the most beautiful any of us have ever seen! The professionalism and sincerity of the ceremony he conducts was extraordinary! Finally, the value of what was provided far exceeded the expense! At mid life (56) this may very well be the best and smartest thing I have ever done for my lovely wife and family! My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner! Aloha and Mahalo, Mark D.

We were fortunate enough to plan a trip to Maui before our wedding and she organized all the vendor meetings and schedules during our trip. Cherise's approved/recommended vendor list with description helped us make a comfortable decision with customizing our wedding for our special day. Cherise is extremely organized and detail oriented. We appreciated how much experience she had with our particular venue (Olowalu Plantation House). Given our busy schedules, we loved how hands off with planning you could be with her in the mix. She took care of all the communication needed with vendors. Our meetings with Cherise were spaced out initially, with a progressive increase in meeting frequency as our wedding approached quickly. The day-of wedding timeline was executed perfectly without delay. It was needless to say, a stress-free planning experience and would have no other recommendations for a wedding planner other than Cherise for Maui - whether you are local or you are planning a destination wedding. Attached are some photos of the beautiful table settings that Cherise helped put together, as well as ceremony arch - we just had to provide some ideas on Pinterest and she worked her magic to set everything up that we had envisioned!

On the day of the wedding, Sandra and her amazing team worked tirelessly to ensure the day ran smoothly. Everything went perfectly, we completely trusted Sandra and her team and they went above and beyond. They ensured timelines were met, they checked up on us constantly.

We visited with many Maui-based Wedding planners and Sandra shined so bright, she was the obvious choice for us! Early in our planning, we had our chosen venue double their prices that was more than we could afford. Sandra helped us find an equally beautiful venue that fell within our price range! Planning a destination wedding can be really difficult but Sandra happily accommodated us with countless 1:1 phone calls where we could plan out every detail! We also had an opportunity to visit Maui for on a wedding planning trip! During our visit, Sandra made sure we could meet with all of our vendors face to face. We knew she was connected with the best of vendors but after that trip, we were so confined in all of our selections and it was abundantly clear how respected Sandra was on the island! On our wedding day, Sandra's team created such a beautiful space! Every detail of the wedding went seamlessly and according to plan! She, along with Joanna, we're the perfect wedding day coordinators. In addition to that great duo, Sandra also provided us with a day-of wedding specialist, Courtney! Courtney was an absolute gem! She was prompt, prepared, and calm! She made our day go so smoothly and we always felt very taken care of whenever she was around! Kudos to Sandra and her whole team of wedding warriors! We couldn't imagine a better team for the most special day of our lives!!! Thank you!!

Not only we had a perfect wedding, my bridesmaids were amazed at how calm I was before and on the wedding day (I knew I can trust Lorrie to take care of everything!). But more importantly, it's during the difficult times that you see someone's true quality! It was such a stressful time for us, having to deal with the unknown, wanted to pick a new date but really had no clue as to what's going to happen next... We actually changed our dates a couple of times back in 2020. Lorrie was always so patient, encouraging, so supportive while being such a professional. She went above and beyond to help out with things that I think she didn't even need to, just to make sure we have the best experience possible. Needless to say, I highly recommend Maui's Angels!

Maui's Angels was our top choice, without any regrets at all. Their personality, style and flair were things we (the wifey) were aiming for and we wouldn't have done it any other way. We loved working with our planner Ali, who basically is the quarterback of the whole operation! The process from start to finish was incredibly detailed, organized and coordinated. Everything was communicated via phone calls and emails (Ali would stay late [so sorry!] to accommodate the time zone difference and our busy work schedules): timelines, start and due dates, vendor selections, reminders, etc. Looking back I think the process was made so simple with the least amount stress as possible, with her passion and dedication. Overall the process was made fun and enjoyable which we loved. No wedding details were left unaccounted for from the planning process (even things like recommendations for suit selection for my guys spread out between NY, Cleveland, Austin) to coordinating ceremony and reception times with the sunset. Of course being a typical guy I underestimated the amount of details that could go into designing flower arrangements, table linens etc. When you work with MA, you get to work with their recommended list of reputable vendors who all come together in the end as a great team. This was our first time going to Maui as well and coordinating our 65 guests was difficult as expected, but Ali was always available to answer any logistics questions we had, no matter how insignificant or naive they sounded. I joked with wifey multiple times, I had so much trust in them that I could've just presented them pictures of what we wanted, left the layout process up to them and showed up the day of to be surprised at the ceremony/reception. Thank you Ali and Maui's Angels for all your hard work in making our vision come true on our special day! L & I

    Ernest officiated our wedding and made our ceremony so special…read more When the event ended, we had SO many wedding guests ask me how we found our officiant because they were impressed and entranced by him - and I agree! We were very, very lucky to have him as our officiant. I was a little worried that family might roll their eyes at a Hawaiian ceremony. But Ernest's presence has a way of demanding respect. He explained the importance of Hawaiian traditions and shared his love of the Island. He had us face our wedding guests (instead of having our backs to them) and encouraged our loved ones to be involved in the ceremony with aloha and laughs. It was truly amazing.

Ernest said he'd meet them at the DT Flemings beach. I went to look on one side, they went to look on the other. Bride: As I was looking around the beach, I spotted him at the right and it's as if he appeared out of the mist since the spray from the waves was like a cloud! She knew she had chosen the right person to perform the ceremony! Ernest was great! Explained a lot of how he infuses Hawaiian tradition and culture into each ceremony! I loved the conch shell call! He also sang as they danced the first dance on the beach! I was so blessed to be a part of this beautiful ceremony! When they were done, I started to take photos of the happy couple with the waves in the background. And just as mysteriously as he appeared, he disappeared into the foilage without us seeing. Bride: This has been a magical day! And I agree!
