5 Stars - Lori and Her Team EXCEEDED expectations…read more We had the pleasure of working with Lori at Topical Maui Weddings for our February wedding in Maui, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From our first consultation to the big day, they went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The attention to detail was impeccable. As a local bride, Lori's on island connections were truly unmatched. We had the best vendor recommendations and she always secured us the best prices. As a type A bride we met with multiple wedding planners before selecting Tropical Maui Weddings and her fair pricing along side her excellent connections and recommendations made his decision a no-brainer. They helped us secure the perfect venue for our reception a buy out at Gather on Maui, coordinated and managed all our vendors, and made sure everything ran smoothly, so we could focus on enjoying the moment. I walked into the venue on wedding day and was blown away by the work that went into making this the MOST beautiful day. The team was incredibly professional and truly understood our vision. Everything was handled I didn't even think twice. What stood out most was their ability to blend our personal touches with the breathtaking natural beauty of Maui. Our ceremony was at our family church which is not typical of what you think of when you think of Maui wedding and Lori and her team executed it flawless, even starting 2 minutes early! The ceremony was exactly what we had dreamed of--intimate, romantic, and seamless. The cherry on top of Tropical Maui Weddings is Jamie Lawrence. His musicality and performance captured the hearts of our guests. I still am getting texts about how special our cocktail hour and father daughter/mother son dance was. YOU NEED HIM TO PLAY AT YOUR WEDDING. If you're planning a wedding in Maui, I highly recommend Tropical Maui Weddings for their creativity, expertise, and genuine care for making your day unforgettable!

Lori and her team at Tropical Maui Weddings exceeded all our expectations and made our wedding day…read moretruly magical and stress-free! This review is embarrassingly overdue, as we have just celebrated our 3rd anniversary. But I can still say that the service we got from Lori and her team were excellent. Lori has a time tested process for gathering information for all her weddings, and the planning and organization of all aspects leading up to the event were great. There were a million decisions we had to make while planning our wedding, and Lori guided us through this process all the way through- flowers, tables and chairs, music, food, drinks, wardrobe, makeup, etc. etc. And once the day arrived, Lori and team were on-site from dawn to dusk, ensuring that the plan we so carefully prepared was executed flawlessly. Her goal is for the wedding couple to enjoy their day, without having to lift a finger and to be completely stress-free. I think we appreciated that the most (especially after seeing how stressed many of our friends were at their own weddings because they didn't have Lori!) Only after our wedding did we discover from our guests how much work was done behind the scenes- such as a guest breaking a glass on the beach, the wrong type of table being delivered to our site in the morning, lights not having been hung correctly. I may never know the full extent of that work, but I do know that Lori's team took care of it. So to recap- if you're wondering whether to hire Tropical Maui Weddings for your wedding, or even if it's worth hiring a wedding planner at all, I would say yes to both! You will absolutely not regret it.

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.

With so many moving parts and details, no wedding is perfect, however, Veronica made the process efficient, organized, and most of all fun ensuring that our wedding day was as close to perfect as possible. For anyone looking to plan their wedding, Veronica was always extremely friendly and helpful with all of our ideas and requests during planning. 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

There was a last minute issue with our officiant and they were able to find a backup and helped ease my stress. When it rained before dinner, they helped organize getting the tables, food and bar inside. They are very familiar with out-of-state brides and can help with all of the vendor recommendations. I'm grateful to have had them as my wedding coordinators.

Ashley held my hand the entire way and made me feel so good through the entire process. We booked at Gannon's Golf Club for 26 people and it was magical. Truly a dream wedding! We couldn't have done any of it without Ashley. Her smile, calm demeaner, and wonderful knowledge of local vendors made our special day phenomenal. I strongly recommend contacting Ashley if you are doing a destination wedding, or even live locally as she has connections everywhere. Thank you Ashley for making our day truly amazing!

Sandra is very easy to reach via email or phone, and she took the stress out of most of the wedding planning process. She took into account our vision and budget, and answered every question I had. Sandra clearly has years of expertise in the industry and is always so helpful during the planning process. 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. The flowers and details were stunning, all my guests constantly commented how they loved the decorations and how much fun they had that day! That day was nothing less than magical! If you are debating on a wedding planning team, I highly recommend A Maui Wedding Day and I'm so pleased with the result of our beautiful day!

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 knew it was going to be beautiful, but they really made it so much better than I expected. Roger and his wife Bobbie are so sweet, talented and professional. The cost was very affordable.

We did it at sunset at one of the most beautiful beaches. You will not be disappointed. The photos were sent to me within an hour, unedited. We will be picking the ones for him to edit, but honestly, even how they look now, they are absolutely gorgeous.

Throughout the process we felt heard and empowered to have the event of our dreams. Her experience and knowledge of the wedding industry is clear from the moment you meet her all the way until the final minute of your special day. We knew that in her hands we could simply enjoy our wedding and not stress about the little things. Our day would not be the special time it was without her. Her true expertise shines through with every meeting, contract negotiation and conversation. This alone is a reason to trust her with your wedding but what we valued most was her attention to detail. The seemingly small things that make the biggest impact. Knowing our parents and siblings names, making sure she was the only person to handle our family's antique cake cutting set, checking in with us before we walk down the aisle to help us feel centered and calm. The reality is there are a million things that Tori did for us that we will never know. Tiny fires that she put out with ease and professionalism and without anyone knowing. We are forever grateful to Tori for making our wedding the best day of our lives and we would recommend her and have been recommending her to anyone who is planning a wedding.

Having the wedding right at the beach was next level. I was amazed by how well Tori handled every detail, and there were many. The guests were all impressed with how everything was so organized but felt so relaxed. We never felt like we were rushed, neglected, bored, or uninformed. The decor was gorgeous and the entertainment was epic. The food was the best I have had at any wedding. Most importantly, our friends, the Bride and Groom, had the best time ever spending quality time with all of us. We didn't even need to worry about transportatio because Tori arranged for vans to pick us up and take us to and from wedding. I highly recommend Tori of Celebrations by Tori.

We chose Maui because of its natural beauty and the peaceful, romantic atmosphere and we celebrated our honeymoon here 40 years ago and it completely delivered. I set this up as a surprise for my husband and it was the best! Darci helped me pull this off from the beginning! The ceremony was simple yet deeply meaningful. From the moment we arrived at the beach, everything felt serene and intentional. The conch shell, the Hawaiian blessing, the lei exchange, the rings blessing, the incredible flower circle and the sound of the waves -- it all came together perfectly. Our officiant was warm and heartfelt, and the photographer (Penny Palmer Photography) captured every moment beautifully and the flowers just completed it all. Working with Darci was so easy and she made the entire process effortless. Communication was great, and they helped us customize the ceremony to reflect our story. This vow renewal reminded us not just of the promises we made 40 years ago, but of the life we've built together since. It was emotional, joyful, and unforgettable. If you're thinking about renewing your vows in Maui -- do it. It's one of the most beautiful and intimate experiences we've ever had, and we'll cherish it forever.
