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

Alyssa is the reason we had a beautiful wedding. She was critical in securing our vendors and…read morecommunicating with them on our behalf. We did a destination wedding from Florida and we were able to meet her in person at our venue before we secured it. Leading up to the wedding, Maui had one of the biggest Kona low's the island had ever seen and two days before we redesigned the wedding to bring it inside. She had great ideas on upgrades, checked that the additions were cohesive, and made sure we didn't lose out on much. In addition, on the day of if something wasn't going completely to plan me and my husband had no idea. Her team managed the day of with the highest level of professionalism.

She helped us through the crazy world of wedding planning, and made sure we crossed all our T's and dotted all our I's for our big day. We really appreciate the responsiveness from Alyssa no matter what random questions or clarifications we needed. Even when it was too windy for the drapes, Alyssa and her team were quick and found an innovated way to make things work. Or when our Amazon napkin order didn't come in time, she came up with solutions to make sure everything was in order for our special day. We really enjoyed her expertise and quick problem solving as it helped reduce any anxiety we had. We appreciate everything Alyssa and her team does, and if were were ever to go back in time and do it all over again, we would always choose Maui Love, as they are truly the best of the best. Thank you for everything Alyssa and team!!!

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!

We couldn't have done any of it without Ashley. Her smile, calm demeaner, and wonderful knowledge of local vendors made our special day phenomenal.

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.

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

**Easy booking, but a confusing and rushed ceremony experience**…read more I did quite a bit of research to find a company that was perfect for an intimate, 2-person 10-year wedding vow renewal, and I chose Aloha Fun Weddings. The initial booking process online was seamless. I received an email confirmation immediately, followed by a helpful payment reminder close to our ceremony date. Once the balance was paid, they provided clear details regarding who would be performing our service. However, things became confusing and stressful on the day of the ceremony. Rev. Paul texted me to introduce himself and informed us that our chosen location was experiencing high tide. He recommended an alternative beach nearby instead. We arrived at the new location and texted him to let him know we were there, only to find out he had shown up at our original site. Because of this mix-up, we felt incredibly rushed through our sunset ceremony because the sun was already disappearing. Additionally, there was a misunderstanding regarding pricing. I was under the impression that the minister's fee was separate, so we brought large cash bills to pay him directly. We then found out his fee was already included in our package price. Unfortunately, since there was no other option and we already had the cash out, we ended up giving a much larger tip than we had originally intended. While the administrative process was great, the execution on the actual day left us feeling rushed during what should have been a relaxed milestone celebration.

Sandra clearly has years of expertise in the industry and is always so helpful during the planning process. On the day of the wedding, Sandra and her amazing team worked tirelessly to ensure the day ran smoothly. Everything went perfectly, we completely trusted Sandra and her team and they went above and beyond. They ensured timelines were met, they checked up on us constantly. The flowers and details were stunning, all my guests constantly commented how they loved the decorations and how much fun they had that day! That day was nothing less than magical! If you are debating on a wedding planning team, I highly recommend A Maui Wedding Day and I'm so pleased with the result of our beautiful day!

We visited with many Maui-based Wedding planners and Sandra shined so bright, she was the obvious choice for us! Early in our planning, we had our chosen venue double their prices that was more than we could afford. Sandra helped us find an equally beautiful venue that fell within our price range! Planning a destination wedding can be really difficult but Sandra happily accommodated us with countless 1:1 phone calls where we could plan out every detail! We also had an opportunity to visit Maui for on a wedding planning trip! During our visit, Sandra made sure we could meet with all of our vendors face to face. We knew she was connected with the best of vendors but after that trip, we were so confined in all of our selections and it was abundantly clear how respected Sandra was on the island! On our wedding day, Sandra's team created such a beautiful space! Every detail of the wedding went seamlessly and according to plan! She, along with Joanna, we're the perfect wedding day coordinators. In addition to that great duo, Sandra also provided us with a day-of wedding specialist, Courtney! Courtney was an absolute gem! She was prompt, prepared, and calm! She made our day go so smoothly and we always felt very taken care of whenever she was around! Kudos to Sandra and her whole team of wedding warriors! We couldn't imagine a better team for the most special day of our lives!!! Thank you!!

The way Kristin guided us through the planning process was everything we could have hoped for and more. Her calm presence, organization, and expertise made what could have been a stressful time feel genuinely enjoyable. She always made us feel heard, supported, and excited, and we always knew we were in the best hands. Our wedding week, with Kristin at the helm, will forever be one of our most cherished memories. Every moment was filled with joy, love, and a sense of ease thanks to her hard work and heart. We truly can't recommend Kristin and the Opihi Love team enough--if you're looking for a planner who brings heart, talent, and a magical touch to everything she does, Kristin is the one.

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!
