Thank You to Timory and Joel at "Aloha Ever After" for making our special day the most amazing…read moreexperience ever! When my wife and I decided to do a destination wedding in Hawaii, we had no clue where to start. I started out researching photographers and ministers, when I contacted Aloha Ever After and spoke with Timory, I just knew this was the right company and the right people to make our wedding the best it could be. We set our wedding date for Dec.9,2018. (I know, I unintentionally procrastinated with my review.) But our experience was phenomenal and the memory stays with us every day. Timory did an incredible job helping us with information to get the marriage license, flowers, suggested accommodations in the area and even provided great options for the ceremony. after seeing Shipwrecks Beach, we chose that as the place to start our new life. We arranged to have her partner/Husband Joel perform the ceremony and Timory on photography. They were both awesome to work with, in tune with our wishes and exceptional with assisting us the whole way. The ceremony was beautiful, we did a sand ceremony as well and all of the photos were absolutely breathtaking! One of my outstanding memories during the ceremony was Timory asking us to pause briefly to look into the ocean, there was a Manta Ray lingering just off the beach, in front of our location, she said that was a rare occurance at that beach, in fact, she said she hadn't seen that in 20 years of performing weddings at that beach, the locals at the Tidepools restaurant all concurred and didn't believe it until I showed them the photo. we chalked it up as the spirit of our lost loved ones joining our special moment. that was super cool to experience. I truly can't say enough about Aloha Ever After, The prices were more than reasonable, the help with planning was priceless, the team of Timory and Joel and the overall experience is something I'll never forget. We've returned once to revisit for our anniversary and to reflect on the memories. We hope to go again someday to renew our vows and you know my first call will be to Aloha Ever After! Thank You for a job well done!

The team at ABC absolutely nailed it and did it all with a smile on their face.

And on top of all that, they are very very reasonable on pricing. THANK YOU SO MUCH JULIE AND ABC! We couldn't have asked for a better team to help us with our big day!

My wife and I were married in Kauai on February 19, 2012. The ceremony and reception were…read morenear-perfect, due in no small part to the efforts of Jill Kosen and Wedding in Paradise. Living in the Bay Area, we did not have the time or money to make repeated trips to Hawaii while planning the wedding. We needed a coordinator who could take our ideas and turn them into reality. Jill is very well-connected to the island community in Kauai - when we needed something, she could get it. It didn't matter if we were looking for a place to eat, a projector or something completely random. Once we selected our vendors, Jill acted as our single point of contact, greatly simplifying the planning process. Jill is also extremely accessible, both by e-mail and telephone. She maintains a spreadsheet with a breakdown of the ceremony and reception details, including price, so it is easy for couples to figure out what tasks remain unfinished (or unaffordable). I don't think any wedding is stress-free, but Wedding in Paradise made our wedding as low-stress as possible.

My husband and I were married on the island of Kauai on September 8, 2013. We both come from rather…read morelarge families and had gone back and forth for over a year trying to plan something that would appease everyone. After a lot of stress and frustration we decided that Kauai was our dream location and we decided that we wanted just 20 of our closest friends and family present for our big day. The ceremony was absolutely phenomenal and exactly what we always dreamed of. Jill is amazing at what she does, she made the entire experience special and stress free and all about my husband and I. The value of her service does not even come close to covering the type of first class service and planning that she provides. We were on a tight budget and never once did she make me feel like we were any less important. There was no funny business or attempts at upselling us, she only made adjustments when requested by us. We planned the entire thing via email and phone calls from the Bay Area and after the experience I felt like I knew her and she was a friend. One week prior to the wedding, my husbands father passed away unexpectedly. I reached out to Jill and let her know the situation and that we would like to do something special to remember him. On the day of our wedding, Jill came with a beautiful memorial lei for his father and added a small memorial ceremony into the plans. She did this all complimentary and without a single added fee, we were shocked to discover that and will be forever grateful to her. I would recommend Jill Kosen and Wedding in Paradise to anyone that told me that they are getting married on the island of Kauai, she made our dream a reality and she is the BEST at what she does.

A week leading up to the wedding was very stressful. Hurricane Lane was happening, but I knew we were okay since we had a Plan B. Due to the weather and flooding that was going on, unforseenable events happened. Raimey could have cancelled and we would totally understand, but she was there for us and a consummate professional.

We had to leave Kauai due to the COVID-19 pandemic on the day we arrived stay one more night in Oahu and then fly back. Jessica was very understanding and she worked with us as our timeframe is changed around. It also happened to be one of the rainiest weeks of the year. So finding a spot that had the right lighting for our photos was difficult and Jessica offered to meet us on a Sunday and take pictures outside of our ceremony day which we very very much appreciated. They gave us a lot of options were added photos and were very welcoming towards our family and even took some family photos which we will treasure forever. For her ceremony she did a traditional ring blessing which I would very much recommend. She was so kind and warm I would urge you to reach out to her if you're even considering an elopement inquiry or a small wedding as we did. We had six people and Jessica met us at our Airbnb but she also has a property that you can elect to use or meet at one of the local beaches which she knows inside and out.
