We were supposed to get married in September of 2020, but due to Covid we pushed our wedding out a year. Throughout the entire planning process, pre and during Covid, Nat and Ash kept us up to date with the latest regulations, walked us through messaging to our guests, created beautiful design mood boards, and so much more. We're so thankful we went with them as our planners. Not only did they execute flawlessly, they were our true partners in crime through the best and hardest times. If you like working with competent, design-gifted, real humans, you can't go wrong with Nat and Ash.

From an earthy, beautiful ceremony to a full on space rave afterparty, there was no ask too big and no dream impossible. They scaled with our vision, hiring an impressive team of local vendors and collaborators to piece together every detail, big and small. Truly the best wedding week ever with memorable events + experiences back-to-back. Will certainly work with them again if coming back to Maui! My highest recommendation, they deliver all the way!!

The staff clearly had everything under control and didn't let the weather affect a single moment. From the ceremony to the reception, everything felt seamless and thoughtfully planned. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, every space was picture-perfect and created such a romantic, elegant atmosphere. From the moment they said "I do" to the very last dance on the dance floor, the energy, organization, and attention to detail were incredible. You could tell the team truly cares about making each wedding special. If you're looking for a stunning venue with a professional and attentive staff that can handle anything (even unexpected weather!), I would highly recommend this place. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.

Sugar Beach Events was so easy to work with for our wedding…read more Chef Lee went out of her way to respond to emails from me as the bride, calm wedding guests who called about food allergies, and helped our coordinator to fine-tune details for the big day. SBE were really easygoing when we asked to make a few tweaks to the appetizer menu, changed the size of the wedding cake (and then changed it back), and inquired about rentals. It all went very smoothly. Expectations and rules were clearly laid out in the venue contract regarding costs, service, vendors, rentals and food. We had one surprise with the admin fees on the bar tab the night of the wedding but the service was so excellent we didn't worry about it. The venue is gorgeous! It's right on the beach but the ceremony takes place on grass, which was helpful for our guests. It has a lovely path along the side garden that we used as the wedding entrance. The house is quite large and allowed for dinner in air conditioning. They even had the AC cranked up in the bride room for getting ready. We got A LOT of compliments from our guests (and vendors) on the food. I had at least one guest compliment that they loved each appetizer and each entree. I wholeheartedly recommend booking your wedding or event here.

Our wedding planner recommended Yard Games Hawaii and I can see why--they were so easy to work with! We booked their beach day starter kit, plus a few extras, and it could not have been more perfect. Romy came and set up the tent, coolers, benches, beach chairs, and games, then came back to take it all down when the event was over. As I was definitely feeling stressed with everything around the wedding, I was so appreciative of YGH's full-service offering. Romy was also so punctual and kind. The quality of all the items was very high and the games were super fun--the golf game was a particularly big hit. Highly recommend doing your next beach day with Yard Games Hawaii!

My husband and I worked with Brittany Thorne from Let's Entertain Maui for our wedding in June…read more2022. We are incredibly disappointed in the services we received from Brittany and her lack of communication during the wedding planning process. First, our reception decor--tent and seat drapery--was supposed to be the color of a dusty rose, as indicated by our vendor contract. However, on the wedding day, we noticed that none of the drapery was dusty rose, and the seat drapings were a bright red/fushcia blend. We spoke to Brittany Throne, a month before our wedding date to align on the decor details. Brittany confirmed that they would have enough dusty rose drapery as needed for our wedding. However, on the day of the wedding, we noticed that our drapery was three different colors, none of which were matching with each other (red, candy pink, and another variation of pink)--and none being a dusty rose except the table napkins. What is most disappointing is that my husband and I were not alerted in any way that the drapery colors would be different than what we signed the contract for. I noticed the drapery color mistakes as I was walking down the aisle. If Brittany had done the courtesy to alert us that the colors would be different once she received the shipment, we would have worked to find another solution before our wedding day. The mistakes also included the brown wooden bar, which was supposed to be white. She ended up providing a small discount on the drapery since she made the mistake. However, this doesn't fix the problem as our pictures and wedding video will always reflect the wedding drapery mistakes that Brittany failed to inform us of and work with us to resolve. Attached is a photo of the drapery from our wedding as none of the drapery reflects the dusty rose color as stated on our contract.

Great energy, great music, and an all-around awesome experience. We can't recommend them highly enough.

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.

She was highly experienced and ensured that we didn't miss any important details while also allowing us room to be creative and get involved with the process as much or as little as we wished. Every step of the way Veronica was so knowledgeable and easy going, it really turned what is normally a stressful process into an enjoyable journey and we are so grateful for all her hard work! We definitely highly recommend Your Aloha Wedding Company to any couples looking for a planner in Maui. They are so easy to communicate with, detailed oriented, experienced, well connected with vendors, and of course a absolute pleasure to work with! -Oliver & Angela

Believe all the amazing reviews; you can't go wrong with Makena Weddings!…read more We had a pandemic-delayed wedding and had to postpone twice over a couple years. Makena Weddings made these postponements soooo easy for us, finding new dates, rescheduling all our vendors, and giving us nothing but support through the whole process! We worked primarily with Cindy, and the entire experience of planning our destination wedding at Olowalu Plantation House was a breeze! Wedding planning has a reputation of being super stressful, but honestly our experience could not be any different with the amazing support, guidance, and obviously logistics-handling that Cindy provided. Cindy brought our vision board to life with the perfect vendors for rentals, her recommendations were spot on, and moreover, she was so attentive to details. My husband and I consider ourselves very detail-oriented, and we were so happy that Cindy paid careful attention to every little thing, called out anything that might bother us so that we could consider readjusting, and took care of every situation without skipping a beat. The day of our wedding could not have gone smoother. Everything was perfect, we were so carefully attended to, and the evening went flawlessly without a single worry from us. If you want the beautiful wedding of your dreams, no stress or worries, and wonderfully caring and detail-focused people to work with, look no further than Makena Weddings!

We chose Makena Weddings for our small sunset beach ceremony, and they made everything effortless…read more Having attended a ceremony they coordinated ~10 years ago, we knew we were in good hands. Laurie and Cindy guided us through their beach package, adding a musician at our request (they booked Marvin Tevaga), recommending the perfect beach location, arranging Amber Quale Photography, and having co-founder Reverend Al Terry officiate. The bride shared a few bouquet ideas, and the result was stunning. We planned everything over email just a month in advance, and every vendor they recommended was outstanding. As Laurie predicted, we had the beach to ourselves. Mother Nature gave us a breathtaking sunset that Amber captured beautifully, Marvin's ukulele and voice added elegance and joy, and Al not only felt like family but was genuinely engaged--helping us focus on the meaning of the moment rather than just the logistics. If you want a stress-free, classy, and unforgettable beach wedding ceremony, Makena Weddings is the way to go.
