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 booked Simple Maui Wedding to do our beach wedding and we had the most perfect day. No amount of 5 star reviews would ever do the Simple Maui team justice. The entire process was a walk in the park from the day we inquired to post wedding things, everything was easy, and the day of my wedding went even smoother than I could've imagined. I had zero stress, zero anxiety and was able to experience my wedding day full present in its entirety. Thank you Simple Maui Wedding for the most perfect day. I want to relive it everyday! Your guidance was incredible, your quick responses were so appreciated, and your check ins before finalizing certain details is unmatched! If I can convince my husband for a vow renewal in the future, we know where we're going! Much Aloha

These are images we'll cherish forever. If you're looking for someone who's calm under pressure, great with kids, and able to deliver great, heartfelt images--this is the one. Highly recommend!

As a destination wedding…read morewith our guests and us coming from the mainland, but some family members already living on island, Darci was able to seamlessly coordinate the most amazing day for everyone. She worked with us over many months to book the most amazing venue and all vendors/rentals while keeping everything organized and timely. She is very responsive and easily communicated by text and checklists to keep us updated frequently along the way or pivot when we added ideas or changes to the plan, which ensured that the day truly reflected us. She even provided recommendations for excursions when on island and various services including transportation. On the day, her and her team made the venue look perfect and even better than we could have ever imagined. She's very professional and worked seamlessly with all the vendors and staff, but her expertise allowed her to amazingly balance running everything for the day while still keeping us on time without feeling rushed or like she was with us the whole time. Cannot gush enough about Darci and her team, truly a pleasure to work with to create one of the best days of our lives!

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

With a bit of regret not having done our vow renewal "formally" 5 years ago (FIL passed a few months later suddenly), we decided to do it for 15 years with our family being less grandpa but with a new addition, our 3 yo. Michael and his assistant were super friendly and easy to work with. He was helpful with restaurant recommendations around our site. We stayed in the Kaanapali area and most wedding/vow renewal services advertised were on the Kīhei side which would've taken 40+ minutes depending on traffic to get to and with 2 young kids, the drive back wouldn't have been fun (not to mention bedtime). Maui wedding adventures was able to meet us in Kapalua (one of our fave dive sites too). We dined at Merriman's and the food was delicious, as was the view. After dinner it was a short walk to the beach where we met Michael. We were able to choose from a list of musicians that could play while we had our ceremony. Marvin's music is just what we were looking for. He had many song choices with many of them being our favorites. His music really completed our ceremony. Michael's responses were prompt and he kept in contact by sending emails before we embarked on our trip to Maui and even sent a message the day we landed to welcome us! He also sent us messages on the day of to let us know what to look for. We got a sneak peek to our photos the next day and as he promised, the link to all the photos within 10 days.

But we knew what we wanted, to get married on the beach with our toes in the sand and the sound of the waves. No better beaches than Hawaii, Maui at that ;) Mr. Michael Fish made planning our ceremony extremely easy all the way from California. He was ALWAYS very receptive and super knowledgeable. Believe me, I did my research and he checked off all my needs and now that our wedding is over he deserves all the praise. You will not be disappointed with his services. In addition, the photos I received with my package were phenomenal.

Where do I begin! First, I will miss waking up to emails from Katy (as my husband and I live in…read moreCalifornia) to discuss wedding details. We've been emailing back and forth for the past year to create the wedding of our dreams. I wish we could plan another one! Our wedding was everything we could have dreamt of and went perfectly! Katy was on top of everything, from our very first email/zoom meeting, to our very last goodbye after the wedding. She made all of my Pinterest pictures and our ideas come to life and it was all even better and more beautiful than we expected. She is so organized, it made the day before the wedding and the day of super easy. Everything was planned out and we always had a updated schedule. She would take our ideas, needs and budget and always give us options for vendors and all of the vendors we had were so professional and such nice people. They made our day that much more special. Katy was so responsive and quick to answer all of our questions and execute last minute requests/changes. Planning a wedding during COVID wasn't easy, but she made it seamless. We also flew to Maui early 2021 to see our venue and Katy planned amazing tastings for us to pick our caterer. We were so happy we got to do that, as it made us that much more excited and prepared for our big day. She will make any future bride or groom very happy and we can't wait to work with her again!

It's been two months since our wedding and we, and our guests, still can't stop raving about our…read morewedding weekend. Much of that credit goes to Katy for pulling off the best wedding ever. We hired Katy to plan our wedding and welcome dinner. She's not cheap and the wedding wasn't either. Expect to blow your budget, but you pay for what you get (we spent ~$2,800/guest for the weekend) and trust us, it was well worth it. Katy is one of a kind, and clearly multiple levels above other wedding planners. If you're looking for a luxurious, highly personalized wedding, one that truly accentuates your love and journey, hire Katy, she's your gal. She knows what she's doing! I can't imagine us having even close to the experience we had without her. Many gave us the advice that something always goes wrong at your wedding, just let it go, but our wedding, under Katy's leadership, was flawless. We can't underscore enough how critical Katy was in making our wedding weekend the best time ever. Katy is super organized, professional, and she's an amazing designer. There were many instances where both of us were decision-paralyzed particularly during the design phase. After a few questions and yay-or-nays on pictures, Katy knew exactly what we wanted. It's like she read our mind, and then delivered. From our wedding vision, to big ticket items to the smallest details, it can get overwhelming. Our advice: trust her and listen to her advice because she knows exactly what she's doing and she'll get it done so you have peace of mind. We had our dream wedding and all of our guests lamented about how it was "the most special and beautiful wedding they had ever been to," still to this day, and even the ones who had been to multiple weddings at our venue before. We had a very "us" experience... this was no cookie-cutter thing. We prioritized food, drinks, and entertainment, and boy-oh-boy was that done right. Katy is connected to all the best vendors on the island. Fine Champagne and caviar flown in, best chef in Maui, bartender, vocalist and playlist. In addition, got difficult family dynamics? No problem, Katy handles it kindly, with the utmost professionalism, making sure you have nothing to worry about so you can truly enjoy your special day. We'd do it all over again!
