We found Marie and her team through a venue recommendation, and from our very first call, we knew we were in the best hands. Planning a destination wedding in just six months felt daunting--especially from the mainland--but Marie made it all feel doable (and even fun!). She was incredibly organized, responsive, and proactive from day one. Within hours of our first conversation, she was checking vendor availability and getting the ball rolling. She answered every question quickly, gave honest and thoughtful advice, and truly helped us stay grounded in our vision and budget. Marie only works with top-tier vendors--every person she recommended, from catering to florals to lighting, delivered above and beyond. And on the day of the wedding, she and her team handled every detail so we could be fully present and soak it all in. There were so many moments where Marie went above and beyond. At one point, when I had a small wardrobe mishap, she pulled out a sewing kit and helped fix it without missing a beat--just one example of how calm, prepared, and thoughtful she is. If you're planning a wedding in Kauai and want someone who will bring professionalism, creativity, and genuine care to the process, look no further than LEK Events. We're forever grateful for Marie and her team.

I waited over a year to leave this review, I don't like to do things angry. I told myself I would…read morewait. I have officially cooled off and I am still deeply displeased. My biggest complaint: My husband didn't get his promenade. Our special ring bearer, his father, the groom and the groomsman didn't get their moment/ promenade either. NOTHING was as we rehearsed it the evening before during the rehearsal . What was the point? The men did NOT get any structure, guidelines or assistance on the day of the wedding. What's the reason for paying a second person at the ceremony site if that person doesn't assist and direct half the wedding party?! The groom wandered up to the front after waiting for some direction.... But nothing. He was so disappointed. She is not flexible or accommodating: She also insists on communicating via email- she barely calls or texts. Despite me telling her I don't operate that way. She doesn't care. She does whatever is easiest for her. I felt like she only wanted to make her job as easy as possible. Be prepared brides and grooms to fill out endless spreadsheets. She bragged about her timeline, it was suppose to be a slick and smooth operation. I felt like I needed her to keep things running smoothly, I was wrong. If you want to do a lot of work by yourself and pay her way too much to be rude to your vendors, (the videographers and photographers whom I flew in from Texas, both complained about her giving the wrong time tables multiple times and being difficult) and have her mess up your wedding day, be my guest. I refuse contact. Don't reach out to me. This bridge is burned.

We needed a planner and coordinator because we had very little time and mental bandwidth to do much ourselves. Jena was wonderful and VERY patient with us about keeping us on task and trying to get us to do things on time. Even when we changed our minds about food at the last minute and our original videographer had to cancel at the 11th hour, Jena was on point with getting everything together that needed to be done. And I can't say how wonderful it was on the day of the event to answer questions with, "I dunno, ask Jena. She's got this." Husband and I were able to completely enjoy the day and be in every moment.

We really want to highlight her professionalism and care - she asked us about how we met, our favorite songs, what we love about each other, and created a fully personalized ceremony script just for us. She also asked about the wedding style and what colors our friends would be wearing, and chose a beautiful navy blue dress that fit perfetly into the overall look and photos. She actively helped us with finding the location, and together we ended up choosing what is probably the best spot with a view of Hanalei Bay. Absolutely stunning. We started communicating about two months before the ceremony, and she walked me through every single step of what was needed to get married in Hawaii (we're based in California). She also shared contacts for a marriage agent, who I later worked with. Frieda arrived perfectly on time, and right after the ceremony on January 21, 2026, she submitted all the paperwork. By the time we returned from Hawaii to California, our marriage certificate was already in our mailbox. Thank you so much for this experience and for being such an important part of starting our family. Truly grateful

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!
