I would definitely recommend again and they were more affordable than other businesses for what they offer.

I highly recommend Party Time Hawaii for any and all of your future events!…read more I first reached out to Dave about a week before my sons 1st birthday party. I was worried they wouldn't have availability since it was so last minute, but we were able to book with him! His replies were always very fast (within 20 minutes) and he made the booking process so quick and easy. Their prices are very reasonable as well! On the day of the party, they arrived early to set up. We booked them for balloon twisting and airbrush tattoos and all our guests, both children and adults, loved them! Their work was very beautiful and all the kids kept lining back up for more. It was adorable seeing all the tattoos and balloons everywhere! They were so great with the kids and all our guests had so much fun. Dave made my son a Winnie the Pooh balloon and he absolutely loved it. The sweet woman working with Dave (unfortunately I forget her name, my brain was all over the place at the time) made my son a little turtle balloon bracelet and he was obsessed with it! She also asked for my favorite color, and then made me a rose balloon in that color! She actually walked all the way across the room to hand them to us both times. They were both very sweet people! All in all, I'm so happy with this whole experience from beginning to end! Thank you Party Time Hawaii, I highly recommend!

From start to finish, Tessa and her team made our wedding unforgettable. It's been seven months since our big day (February 23, 2025), and my wife, myself, our friends, and family still talk about it constantly. We laughed, cried, ate, drank, danced, socialized, and snapped countless photos. Most importantly, we were able to relax and truly enjoy ourselves. Fred and Kate Events had everything under control. The only thing we had to focus on was getting married--which is exactly how it should be. Tessa is phenomenal, and her staff is top-tier: professional, attentive, and kind. If you try to step in, they'll gently remind you to let them handle it--and trust me, you'll be glad you did. We can't thank them enough for managing every detail so we could stay present in the moment. That gift alone was priceless.

No matter how many questions or requests we had (and we had plenty!), Tessa, Henry, Midori, and Lauren were consistently accommodating, friendly, and incredibly quick to respond. On the day of the wedding, the planning team showed up in full force. They were professional, efficient, and totally on top of everything--firm when they needed to be, but always brought the right energy and hype to keep the day exciting and fun. Everything ran so smoothly that we hardly even noticed they were there, which is a true testament to how well they had everything under control. We're so grateful for their dedication and would highly recommend Fred and Kate to any couple looking for a seamless and joyful wedding planning experience!

Their deep knowledge of local vendors and Hawaiian traditions was invaluable. On the day of, we were able to fully relax--I even spent the morning laughing and having breakfast with my girls because I knew everything was in their hands. If there were any hiccups, we never knew about them! Jade is professional, calm, and truly went above and beyond to make our vision a reality. We would recommend Modern Elopement to anyone looking for a stress free destination experience!

Unfortunately, our experience with Morgan and her team was far from positive. We hired them on…read moreNovember 7th, 2022, for our wedding in July 2023. While our initial conversation with Morgan was pleasant, that was the only enjoyable interaction we had with her throughout the entire planning process. From the outset, we communicated with our wedding planner, Jade, about needing transportation to and from our hotel. She assured us she would handle it and send us a website to choose add-ons. After submitting our wishlist on January 23rd, we didn't hear back from Jade until February, with a vague response stating she needed more time to review it. Despite following up every two weeks, it would take up to two weeks to receive a reply. This caused unnecessary frustration, and it wasn't until mid-April that we saw any real progress. By then, we were suddenly pressured to make decisions quickly. The whole point of booking nine months in advance was to alleviate stress, keep things organized, and maintain a clear budget. We received our wedding day schedule just one day before the wedding. Unfortunately, due to poor planning, this process became chaotic and cost us far more than anticipated. From the start, transparency around pricing, wedding locations, and dinner options was lacking. The estimates we received were consistently vague, which was frustrating given their experience. I wanted to confirm our reception location based on the Lookout 1 option in Maui, but they were evasive, leaving us unsure whether transportation would be necessary. Fortunately, my now-husband found our preferred location (Gannons, now called Gather Maui) online, and we were able to make a decision based on his findings. During the planning, they changed our dinner location within Gannon's without consulting us. Originally, we were supposed to have a 24-foot double-wide dining table, but they replaced it with a 15-foot table, causing our guests to feel cramped. To make matters worse, there was no air conditioning, just a couple of ceiling fans, making everyone uncomfortably hot. There was also a larger, available space that could have been used, but they didn't consider it. It's disappointing that a wedding planner didn't foresee these issues, especially after we paid for an extra planner to manage the setup. Another issue was the transportation. Although we approved the transportation details early on, they didn't confirm pricing until just two weeks before the wedding, at which point the cost had doubled. The added charge was for accommodating four additional guests, which we felt was unreasonable. We ended up having my in-laws drive themselves in their rental car. On the wedding day, two vehicles (a sprinter van and a van) arrived. The groom was unable to reach the planner in time, and when the driver said it wasn't an issue to board the vehicle, we were later charged for these unexpected costs. Whether the responsibility lies with the transportation company or Modern Elopement, we'll never know. What we do know is that they withheld our wedding video and photos until they resolved the transportation issue. We didn't receive them until more than three months after the wedding, despite the fact they were ready within weeks. After receiving our wedding photos and video, we noticed they were being shared on social media and other vendor sites. As per our contract, we were only required to notify them in writing if we didn't want our photos distributed. I sent this request on October 27th, 2023, and Jade confirmed she would notify their vendors. However, in March 2025, I was shocked to find our photos posted on their social media and website. After requesting their removal and being ignored, I started leaving comments on the posts and sent emails via the HoneyBook portal and regular email. Morgan's condescending response to my requests only further proved her lack of respect for my wishes and her ongoing exploitation of our wedding for her business gain. She then blocked me on social media, implying she didn't want me to see her ongoing use of my pictures. Additionally, when they attempted to bill us for the extra transportation costs, they removed me from the HoneyBook portal, which I found highly unprofessional. Lastly, during the reception setup, one of the planners left an invoice for our party favors in my suitcase. Modern Elopement had received a discount for ordering these items, but charged me the full 20% planner fee on the regular price, which makes me question whether they overcharged in other areas as well. Despite reaching out to Jade multiple times to keep things moving, Morgan never stepped in to help. She only sent us a few condescending emails when she wanted our payment, but didn't offer any meaningful assistance with the planning. In the end, while our wedding was beautiful, it had very little to do with Modern Elopement. It was thanks to the vendors and choices we made.

While on the phone he asked if he could stake his tent in the yard so it won't blow away, and we said absolutely. If we need to adjust our order before our day we could, no pressure. Clint and his team came out the day before to set up and they knocked it out! We don't have to do anything including disinfectant the tables and chairs. Clint didn't pressure us in finishing at a certain time. If you are looking for a professional company to make any occasion special please don't hesitate to call Clint and his team! Btw.
