As long as I call ahead of time for any item I need they place it to the side so it will be there when I come to purchase the object.

I would recommend them highly for any snorkeling goods, bikes, and/or bike parts.

We worked with Olivia, and she was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived, she made me feel comfortable and truly listened to what I thought I was looking for in a wedding dress. As we went through the appointment, she helped me refine my preferences and ultimately discover what I really wanted in my future wedding dress. I appreciated that she encouraged both my guest and me to pull dresses that caught our eye, while also selecting additional gowns based on what she was learning about my style. It felt very collaborative, personalized, and pressure-free. The entire experience was wonderful, and I felt genuinely well taken care of throughout the appointment. Another huge plus is that they offer dress rentals, which is a fantastic budget-friendly option for brides. 10/10 experience--highly recommend to any bride looking for a fun, comfortable, and supportive dress-shopping experience!

I have been emailing back and forth with Masako bridal for months now and they have made me feel well taken care of, supported and welcomed with much congratulations for this big moment in my life. I would recommend Masako bridal to any of my loved ones a hundred times over!

He also got back to me right away via email - not sure about the complaints about unresponsiveness. The store was spacious and clean, and very conveniently located in a Kaimuki shopping plaza. An hour fitting is about $1.50 for parking fees which are paid via credit card. They also provide shoe rentals for $20 if needed (we didn't opt for this but very reasonable pricing!). The husband/wife owners were gracious, warm and very friendly. Made both my father and brother feel at ease and comfortable. I would 100% come back again for formal needs.

Shopping in Downtown Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. Looking for a gown for a formal wedding, I entered Do's Formal. Located on the corner of King Street and Smith Street, I parked in a loading zone which is free after 4pm. Inside, the store is filled with many gowns and even tuxedos! The variety colors and styles is overwhelming. I saw the arrows on the ground which help customers because a person could get lost in there! Service was friendly in the beginning, but cooled off in the end when I didn't like the dress that was suggested to me. I went in the dressing room, but didn't need help with the zipper. I did pull the straps shorter for a better fit, but tailoring the dress would be too much. If you need a wedding gown, suit, or prom dress, take a look here! Some styles look like beauty pageant fashion!

Her staff pulled 3 dresses for my were daughter who was shopping for a wedding dress for a Fall wedding 2026. We had gone to 2 stores in LA where she lives and couldn't find anything in her price range, under $1,000. I had made 2 bridal appointments since she is home for the holidays! The first one we canceled because the girl who was going to assist had a cough! Even though, she would wear a mask, we didn't want to take any chances! So fortunately, we went here Do Formals! It is in Chinatown and since it was a Sunday, we could find street parking! The first 2 dresses fitted her perfectly! "Like a glove" no alterations needed except to hem! They both were beautiful that we couldn't decide which one we liked more! It was the same price too $799! My daughter decided on the second one cause it would match her lacy sneakers and it had pockets! Who doesn't like a dress with pockets! Jackie helped us find the perfect veil! The lace on the outer edges matched the lace of her dress! The veil was so reasonable too! Only $69! What a deal! Spending 90 minutes to find the PERFECT gown and veil within her budget was so Lucky! It was fate! Will be back to get it hemmed! Thanks a million Jackie for all your help and valuable recommendations!

I did not get a single congratulation just forced into multiple dresses outside of my price range, told multiple times that I was much to late to be looking for a wedding dress for my wedding coming up in November and my bridal party felt like they couldn't give any feedback back about my dresses without getting backlash from the staff. I hope for future brides sake the company can provide a more supportive environment and be more warm and welcoming. I've been emailing back and forth with Vows and Bridal for months now and was not expecting to be treated with such disrespect in person.

Shopping in Pearl City, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. I was actually looking for another small business when there was a free parking space right in front of the store: Lucky Penny I didn't know what it was all about, so I went inside, took a look around, and asked a few questions. What a catchy name for a vintage consignment store, right? Each "closet" or shelf/rack area contains merchandise from a local vendor. The items range from Aloha Collection bags and Trader Joe's coolers to dresses from Manuheali'i and Always a-line. I also saw handmade jewelry, gently worn shoes, fancy children's clothing, men's Aloha shirts, designer handbags, etc. The items change weekly, so if you see something you like, grab it! The tags have prices set by each vendor... with their vendor number on the tag. This is such a great concept! Note: there's a bag policy. Lock your purse/tote/backpack in a locker at the front door and shop hands free!

We're both busy professionals based in SF, so we knew we needed someone in Hawaii who could really take the reins. Sandra was a godsend. The biggest thing for us was that NOTHING fell through the cracks. If we mentioned something once, she remembered it. She was also somehow always calm. Even when we were indecisive, changed our minds, or threw something at her last minute (oops), we never once saw her rattled or annoyed. Special shoutout to Kandis too, who helped coordinate so many details throughout the year! We also loved that Sandra wasn't afraid to tell us what she thought. We were initially against having a tent because we thought it would ruin the look of the wedding. She ultimately left the decision to us, but made sure we understood the realities of Hawaii weather. We're so glad we listened! It rained the day before, was insanely windy the day of, and the tent ended up being a great decision. Her vendor network was another huge plus. After so many years planning weddings in Hawaii, she knows who's good. She gave us a handful of trusted options for each vendor, we interviewed and chose who felt right, and we ended up LOVING everyone we hired. They also consistently told us how incredibly "on it" Sandra was. And on the wedding day, we just... enjoyed it. Everything ran so smoothly that we could be fully present. Seeing everything we'd spent a year planning and envisioning finally come to life, even more beautifully than we imagined, was so special. It genuinely felt like the perfect day, and we know it wouldn't have been possible without Sandra and her team. We'd recommend Sandra a million times over.

We reached out to Sandra 2 years before our desired wedding date and immediately after our introductory call, we knew that we wanted to work with Sandra. Sandra broke down the wedding planning process in a way that made it really easy to work with . We didn't feel overwhelmed or stressed at any point of the planning process. She provided us with many different proposals for vendors and design that matched our vision and budget and helped us secure all the vendors that we wanted. Even with last minute changes, Sandra was able to address them quickly - a true professional! Our wedding was held at Lanikuhonua and it was the most magical day! We didn't even think for one second about the program as it flowed so effortlessly. We were present the whole night to each other and our guest and truly had the best day of our lives! Our vendors always said "Sandra will know what to do" and also was told she is the Queen of Lanikuhonua weddings and that couldn't be anymore true. We can't thank Sandra and her team enough for bring our dream wedding to life! Weeks after our wedding, our friends and family are still talking about how stunning and how much fun the wedding was. Every penny spent was well worth it and we'd do it all again a thousand times over.
