From the very beginning, Mira and John made the entire planning process so easy and stress-free. Planning a wedding from the mainland can feel overwhelming, but they were always quick to respond, incredibly organized, and so patient with every question we had. They made us feel supported every step of the way and gave us complete confidence that everything would come together beautifully. On our wedding day, Diana was absolutely amazing. She kept everything running seamlessly while making us feel calm, relaxed, and able to be fully present. She thought of every little detail before we even had to ask, and her kindness and professionalism made such a difference. It truly felt like we had someone who genuinely cared about making our day perfect. Our photographer, Samantha, was incredible! She made us feel comfortable from the moment we met her, even though we aren't used to being in front of a camera. She guided us naturally, made us laugh, and captured every emotion and beautiful moment so effortlessly. We already know these photos will be treasured for the rest of our lives. Rev. Kuya gave us the most beautiful ceremony we could have asked for. His words were heartfelt, meaningful, and so genuine that there wasn't a dry eye among our family and friends. He made our ceremony feel deeply personal and full of love, and it is something we will never forget. If you're looking for a team that truly cares and goes above and beyond, Simple Maui Weddings is the best choice. Every single person we worked with made us feel special, and everything was handled with such care, professionalism, and kindness.

We decided to add a wedding to our already-planned holiday, and so only had about 2 months to plan....no problem! This is clearly what this company is built for. 1. The officiant [Joe!] they selected for our non-religious, Hawaiian, spiritual service....he was perfect and brought exactly the vibe we were looking for. 2. Karma photography was fantastic! She captured so many great shots, and was flexible when we wanted to move down the beach to change-up the background. She spent the time she needed to get the shots, and we will be forever grateful. 3. The flowers were gorgeous! We did leis for everyone, a masculine green lei for the groom and white flowers for my bouquet 4. Everyone at Simple Maui Wedding was friendly, great communicators and made you feel special and welcomed. We were a tiny little group - 6 of us total - and we felt just as taken care of as a large wedding party. Highly recommend Simple Maui Wedding if you are getting married on Maui!

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!

It was the best decision we could've made in the wedding planning process!! We live in Ohio, so planning a destination elopement was daunting to me, as I am not a good planner for day to day things, let alone for a wedding in a different state with traveling guests! Ashley and Lindsey immediately made the planning feel like a breeze and calmed any anxiousness I was feeling - some of the sweetest gals! They answered my many questions and helped focus in on our wants and needs for the wedding to make it all come to life - all while on a tight budget! I found it very helpful that they kept in touch regularly, provided a timeline leading up to and a day of wedding schedule, and shared other tips with us. We chose to get married on the absolutely stunning Ironwoods Beach in Kapalua and it is a beautiful place with lava rock! Chantel was our lovely wedding coordinator the day of and I was so happy we could include her in our lei ceremony! I may be biased, but Charles Nahale is the best officiant we could've ever asked for, making the whole ceremony so fun and memorable! And the talented Tyson from Better Together Photography was so fun to work with and made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera! It was amazing that Ashley and her team were able to be so diligent in helping us on short notice and get so many amazing vendors on board, as we started planning in December for our February elopement. I loved having a February wedding in Maui - the weather was great! We had sun and 79 all week with just a sprinkle of rain over a rainbow in the morning sun and then a little overcast for the wedding itself, which was nice so we weren't overheating while on the beach for the ceremony. And there's whales and turtles you can see each day, so magical! I HIGHLY recommend you reach out to the team at A Dream Wedding Maui to have the most perfect wedding day you've been dreaming of! Mahalo & Aloha everyone!!

Our original wedding was supposed to be in Charleston on October 8, 2016. However, Hurricane Matthew had other plans for us. Our wedding was cancelled on that Tuesday (October 4th). I reached out to Rica that very same night and she responded immediately. She was so supportive and immediately jumped into action. Throughout the next couple of days, Rica and I spoke every day to make sure we had every single detail just right. She and her team went above and beyond. Basically, in just a few short days, they were able to pull together an amazing ceremony for us! Rica, also recommended a wonderful restaurant for a reception too. Our onsite ceremony team was fabulous as well! We had an amazing ceremony service performed by Rev. Diana on the beautiful beach at Kapalua Bay. Grace, the onsite coordinator, absolutely made everything go so smooth! Our photographer also was able to get the most gorgeous photographs of us and our guest.

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!!

I wanted to update my review. Initially, I gave a 3-star rating, and the business owner, Kara,…read morenaturally reached out to discuss our concerns and see how she could address them. This seemed fair and normal. However, when we tried to arrange a follow-up meeting, Kara refused to meet with just my husband and me. She insisted on including her entire team in the feedback session. We felt it would be more appropriate and comfortable to provide our feedback directly to her, with the understanding that she could then relay it to her team. During numerous email discussions, Kara made excuses for every issue we raised and essentially blamed us for the shortcomings of our wedding planner. Because of that, I cannot recommend Aloha Wedding Planning Services. Although Veronica, our planner, was lovely and personable, the service we received on our wedding day did not reflect a 5-star experience. Given that we paid $4,000, I expected much higher quality. If the cost had been lower, I can confidently say I would not have been as upset by the small details that didn't go perfectly.

Jacqueline was OUTSTANDING at every point in the process. She met with us a number of times over Zoom to plan our approach and ensured we had many options to choose from. The resulting wedding was absolutely beyond belief. The whole day felt like a dream. We both got to be so relaxed (as did our families and friends!) because Jacqueline was across every single little detail. Every recommendation Jacqueline made about the flowers, the venue, the photographers, etc. was absolutely spot on. It could have been stressful booking venues and vendors we had never seen or met but Jacqueline's expertise meant that we never had any worries. Our wedding day was unforgettable and amazing. We will cherish these memories forever and ever. We really have Jacqueline to thank for bringing it all together as she did. Her presence on the day was such a delight, too. We can't thank her enough! One of the absolute highlights of the day was that Jacqueline personally drove our huge flower arrangement back to our hotel, so we returned to our room filled with the memories of the day. She's just beyond amazing and the personal touches were incredible. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

From our very first conversation, we could tell that she truly cared about our upcoming event(s) and we felt confident that she would make our wedding day everything we'd ever dreamed of and more. My husband and I also work in Special Events and we had specific ideas and very high expectations for our big day. Kendall not only listened attentively and remembered each detail to ensure they were executed flawlessly, but she also went above and beyond to provide invaluable suggestions and tips along the way. We worked with INCREDIBLE vendors at her suggestion and trusted her completely to make the best decision that would bring our vision to life. Kendall's professionalism and organization were apparent from the start, always one step ahead, anticipating our needs and making sure no detail was overlooked. We were beyond impressed with the way Kendall treated our wedding with the same care she would her own... creating absolute perfection for my husband and I. From coordinating with vendors to managing timelines and being by our side, she handled every aspect of the planning process with grace and professionalism. Kendall's calm and reassuring personality was a godsend throughout the entire planning process, keeping us grounded and stress-free, even during the most hectic moments, and her positive energy was infectious. Our wedding was everything we ever dreamed of and more, in large part due to Kendall and A White Orchid Wedding. Our day was filled with love, laughter, beauty and unforgettable memories - and we have Kendall to thank for making it all possible. If you are in need of a Hawaii wedding coordinator that you can TRUST, we wholeheartedly recommend WOW for your special day!

We came to the Ritz-Carlton expecting the level of service and attention to detail that the brand…read moreis known for--especially considering the premium price and the fact that we're Platinum members. Unfortunately, our experience fell well short of those expectations. Our stay started with being checked into a room that hadn't even been cleaned. After bringing it to the staff's attention, they did make an effort to recover by moving us to a new room, providing $300 in resort credit, and offering us an Oasis bed at the pool, which we appreciated. However, the service inconsistencies continued throughout our stay. One evening we returned from dinner to find another couple's honeymoon welcome package--including champagne and banana bread--delivered to our room. While not a major inconvenience, it highlighted a lack of personalization and attention to detail that you simply don't expect at this level. Pool service was another disappointment. Our initial lunch order of avocado toast, poke, and carne asada tacos took over 30 minutes, and a later quesadilla order also took more than 30 minutes. The staff did comp us a round of drinks for the delay, which was appreciated, but the food itself was underwhelming and didn't justify the premium pricing. What stood out most was the disconnect between the cost of staying here and the overall experience. When you choose a Ritz-Carlton, you're not just paying for a beautiful property--you're paying for exceptional, personalized service and flawless execution. That's the standard the brand has built its reputation on. While the staff consistently tried to make things right after issues occurred, there were simply too many preventable mistakes during one stay. This is a beautiful resort with wonderful employees, but at this price point--and as Platinum members--we expected a much more polished, personalized, and consistently exceptional experience. Recovering from service failures is appreciated, but ideally, guests shouldn't have to experience so many of them in the first place.
