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

Shasta planned my husband's 20 year high school graduation party from king kekaukike high school at Mulligans on the blue in Wailea. People are still talking about that party and how fabulous it was! Shasta came through with flying colors literally. From the table clothes, the catering, to the decor, it was first class and on point. I would highly recommend her services; as not only does she work well one on one, but she is extremely detail oriented. She will check in with you personally; making sure that you are beyond happy. I look forward to recommending her services in the future, and working with her again.

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.

Hiram, Jordan, BRAVO!…read more My family (8 of us, with all very different tastes) have unanimously agreed that Hiram created for us one of the greatest meals each of us have ever eaten. The food however was not the only high point - Honu Cuisine is a package. It's Hiram's incredible ability to source the best and freshest ingredients, use his customer's menu choices to perfectly match those ingredients, and create a beautiful, artistic, and incredibly tasty meal. It's also about Hiram's carefully chosen "front of house" assistant. That's right, he comes with a partner. In our case we feel very lucky and honored for that front of house to be Jordan. He is a long-time resident of the island, a fruit and vegetable farmer, and an incredibly knowledgeable foodie and Maui host. Separately Hiram and Jordan would be spectacular, together they are magical. The meal was entertaining, stimulating, and delicious. Hiram brought everything from cookware to serving dishes along with his incredible ingredients, Jordan brought fresh flowers and entertainment. This meal is worth every penny - please make the best decision you'll make while in Maui - have Hiram cook for you! Ryan & Genvieve Schmidt, the Adams and the Brewers, Aloha.

All the ingredients were fresh and organic, some picked only hours earlier on the estate Jordan manages. Everything was gorgeously presented and delicious. A real treat!
