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!

Thank you to Modern Elopement and our wedding planner, Jennifer Takenaka for making our wedding…read morestress-free and memorable! Jennifer responded to us in a timely manner and was able to answer all of our questions. She was very professional and so sweet when we met in person on the day of the wedding. We enjoyed working with her and appreciate all of her help! Overall, my husband and I did very little since Modern Elopement was able to take care of everything. We just took care of our attire, travel, and bringing certain documents for the marriage license agent. We got engaged in Feb 2022 and eloped in June 2022 during our trip to Hawaii. We chose the Four Seasons package and had 13 people in our group (including me and my husband). They provided several questionnaires to help us choose what we wanted from a selection of vendors they curated (ie. photographer, music, course menu, florals, type of wedding officiant, etc.). You just have to choose what you want, and they take care of the rest. Our photographer, videographer, officiant, hair/makeup artist, and everyone else involved with our wedding were all friendly and professional. They were also able to make accommodations such as adding a videographer to do a full ceremony video along with the included highlight clip, dietary restrictions, time changes, and more. Just ask! Highly recommend this company to plan your elopement/micro wedding. Give yourself some peace of mind and choose Modern Elopement.

Richie was extreamly detailed with her planning and made our day run as smoothly as possibly despite setbacks backs beyond their control.

We would give them more stars if we could.

Our wedding would not have been the same without Sarah. As we live in Canada, wedding planning from…read moreafar would have been a nightmare, but Sarah made everything easy. For 1 year, she patiently met regularly online with us and was quick to respond to emails. She was organized and very helpful, with excellent suggestions on everything from floral suggestions (using arch flowers as centerpieces, using bridesmaid bouquets at the head table) to hair and makeup recommendations (Mai Tokioka was truly as fantastic as she said) to restaurant recommendations. Sarah offered to receive packages at her home so we didn't have to overload our suitcases bringing things over from Canada, and also offered to print our welcome board, seating chart and display photos. This made life so much easier for us. Because of renovations at our wedding venue, we weren't able to stay there and had to stay across the street at a sister hotel. Sarah ensured that we weren't inconvenienced by having her assistants help move our things from room to room, and made sure nothing got lost. On the day of the wedding, Sarah had 2 assistants to ensure the day ran smoothly. One assistant was very sweet and followed me around to ensure I had everything I needed and helped with my dress for photos. The other assistant so kindly ran around from hotel to hotel when I forgot my garter and other things. Sarah herself made sure everything was perfect, including music, cake florals, name plates, guest sign-in table, and even helped set up the electric keyboard I requested so I could play a song just before my processional. I could go on and on about Sarah, but suffice to say, if you need the most perfect vendor, you should definitely choose her from Engaging Moments.

We got married at the Kahala Hotel on 1/27/24 and she and Hiromi made sure everything went smoothly on wedding day. I truly consider ourselves lucky, because I heard so many stories about how you have to expect something to go wrong on your wedding day- but this turned out to be the exact opposite. Sarah took care of our "day of planning" which was actually 2 months out because we just wanted the final details taken care of as we had prebooked out the majority of our vendors (photography, DJ, lion dance, cloud effect, photobooth etc). She reached out a little prior to to our 2 month out timeline start date. Here we had meetings to check in with our DJ about music, and met a few times in person to ensure the flowers, song choices and ceremony were all in check. Just before the wedding, we met and she took our guest sign in book, table signs, seating chart, pens, etc. Bascially and literally took everything off our hands. Hiromi, her assistant helped during the big day and helped me change in our room to a shorter reception dress. Both of them deserve the biggest praise for helping our dream wedding come true. Thank you Sarah and Hiromi!!! Now, this isn't even covering the flowers portion. In addition to "Day of Planning" we also booked Engaging Moments for our arch flowers and wedding reception flowers which were alternating tall and short flower arrangements. Please see photos attached. She also did our head table flowers. It was nothing short of a fairy tale. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! If you want an organized, sweet, super artistic florist and wedding planner - look no further.

The wedding day itself went so smoothly without any hiccups and she made it easy for my wife and I to enjoy our big day and not worry about all the little stuff. Alicia even handcrafted all of the awesome signs and decorations throughout the venue and the overall design and ambiance was exactly what we were going for. She got excited about our ideas with us and helped to create them. Hire this lady! She is so amazing and you won't regret it. Good luck locking her up though, she's making a name for herself. Thanks, Alicia! We want to get married again and you'll be getting a phone call. That's for damn sure.

I was able to plan things and reserve everything but I hired Alicia (and Jen) so they can help me on the day of the wedding. Alicia and I were in contact months before the wedding.

I didn't even realize all the hardwork she and Jen put in until after the wedding. All the details we talked about...from the timing of things to the placement of my decoration. I was so happy!

We live on the island and had the pleasure of meeting with Coco and Jacqueline before our big day at their beautiful waterfall home. We paid a $200 deposit online via PayPal to hold our date then paid the remaining balance a few weeks before our wedding date at their home. This gave us time to apply for our wedding license at the Department of Health DOH (about $13) downtown. Coco gave us guidance on the best times to go to the DOH to avoid long lines as we talked story on his porch. On our wedding day, everything was done for us and we just had to show up. We were married on Makapu'u. Coco played Over the Rainbow and the Hawaiian Wedding Song for us as he sang with his Ukulele. Our photographer, Dave was exceptional. We loved the way Coco officiated our wedding and our vows. His humor and his many Hawaiian blessings made it a beautiful wedding morning to remember. I recommend this company to anyone who is looking to getting married on the island. They offer great prices and can customize to meet your needs. Coco and Jacqueline really make your wedding day a priority and run their wedding company with aloha. They truly care about love and it shows.
