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.

We had the absolute privilege of working with Jacqueline to plan our wedding in Paradise Cove on…read moreOahu. We live in Australia and we planned our wedding at very short notice. Jacqueline was OUTSTANDING at every point in the process. She met with us a number of times over Zoom to plan our approach and ensured we had many options to choose from. The resulting wedding was absolutely beyond belief. The whole day felt like a dream. We both got to be so relaxed (as did our families and friends!) because Jacqueline was across every single little detail. Every recommendation Jacqueline made about the flowers, the venue, the photographers, etc. was absolutely spot on. It could have been stressful booking venues and vendors we had never seen or met but Jacqueline's expertise meant that we never had any worries. Our wedding day was unforgettable and amazing. We will cherish these memories forever and ever. We really have Jacqueline to thank for bringing it all together as she did. Her presence on the day was such a delight, too. We can't thank her enough! One of the absolute highlights of the day was that Jacqueline personally drove our huge flower arrangement back to our hotel, so we returned to our room filled with the memories of the day. She's just beyond amazing and the personal touches were incredible. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

WOW, indeed! We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Kendall at A White Orchid…read moreWedding. From our very first conversation, we could tell that she truly cared about our upcoming event(s) and we felt confident that she would make our wedding day everything we'd ever dreamed of and more. My husband and I also work in Special Events and we had specific ideas and very high expectations for our big day. Kendall not only listened attentively and remembered each detail to ensure they were executed flawlessly, but she also went above and beyond to provide invaluable suggestions and tips along the way. We worked with INCREDIBLE vendors at her suggestion and trusted her completely to make the best decision that would bring our vision to life. Kendall's professionalism and organization were apparent from the start, always one step ahead, anticipating our needs and making sure no detail was overlooked. We were beyond impressed with the way Kendall treated our wedding with the same care she would her own... creating absolute perfection for my husband and I. From coordinating with vendors to managing timelines and being by our side, she handled every aspect of the planning process with grace and professionalism. Kendall's calm and reassuring personality was a godsend throughout the entire planning process, keeping us grounded and stress-free, even during the most hectic moments, and her positive energy was infectious. Our wedding was everything we ever dreamed of and more, in large part due to Kendall and A White Orchid Wedding. Our day was filled with love, laughter, beauty and unforgettable memories - and we have Kendall to thank for making it all possible. If you are in need of a Hawaii wedding coordinator that you can TRUST, we wholeheartedly recommend WOW for your special day! Mahalo nui loa, Kendall, for creating an experience that we'll never forget, we couldn't have done it without you!!

Omg what can I say about this little gem of a place. I joined my husband on a business trip to Maui…read moreand found our way to Makawao. I was intrigued by their sign that said lei workshops and it was down a little magical path off the main side walk. We walked in and met Sheryl who was so warm and welcoming and told me a little bit about their lei workshops. Unfortunately we would be leaving before their next event but as we were speaking I was overcome by this scent throughout the small store. I asked what it was and it was this heavenly Jasmine fragrance. I tried the spray and then the oil and she sent us on our way and told us to come back only if I couldn't stop thinking about it. Walking around town I felt like a cartoon character where the scent is glowing as they pass by. It was amazing. Long story short, I went back and bought the oil. I love it so much and have been wearing it everyday since we left. I can't wait to go back and visit to take one of their workshops and learn more about the culture and traditions of lei making.

I didn't buy a lei, but I was excited to find a Hawaiian sun visor hat. I wish I knew the Hawaiian name for it. All I know, is that it is beautiful, it shades my eyes, and is soft and comfy! I hope that when I return in a future visit, that they will have more in various colors and sizes. Mahalo Sheryl for your welcoming spirit!

I just got back from Maui and booking Lesley for our family's special celebration dinner was…read morehands-down the best decision we made the entire trip! We had a private chef experience right at our vacation rental for 8 people, and it felt like we were dining at a top-tier restaurant without ever leaving the house. Lesley customized the entire menu for our group (one vegetarian, one gluten-free) with zero fuss and made it feel effortless and personal. The service was warm, professional, and genuinely joyful. She even handled grocery shopping, setup, and cleanup so we could just relax and enjoy the sunset views. It turned what could have been a stressful "what's for dinner" night into the highlight of our vacation. If you're visiting Maui and want an unforgettable, stress-free fine-dining experience in your own space. Worth every penny and then some. We're already planning our next trip around her schedule!

I can be pretty particular about my diet (I'm sensitive to gluten, sodium, soy, dairy) and I was so lucky to have lived in a house with Chef Lesley because she was always able to accommodate my dietary restrictions.

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.

Kevin and Courtney, the owners, were very friendly, helpful, creative, and cooperative, so they were easy to work with. But not only were they great, the food they provided was spectacular -- really fresh and tasty and sophisticated! We had a number of different requirements for our family members -- gluten free, vegan, and big carbo loaders -- and Kevin and Courtney provided delicious meals for them all. Helpings were enormous! And they were really flexible about timing and menus! For New Years eve we had amazing sashimi, coconut shrimp, crab cakes, chicken piccata, huge salad, spring rolls and delicious homemade desserts. When they walked in with their food the whole family oohed and aahed and couldn't wait to dig in. It was so great to not cook for 9 people and to know that we were having a great dinner in Maui, especially since restaurants are overbooked and overpriced and not as much fun as hanging out at home. We really recommend them highly! Very great find in Maui. !!!!
