The last thing we wanted was to be too stressed out to enjoy our special day. They were an absolute lifesaver throughout the entire process who brought structure, guidance, and reassurance and made our special day the best of our lives. We had monthly check‑ins that kept us on track without ever feeling rushed, and their planning software kept every detail organized in a way we never could've managed on our own. It felt like having a roadmap to keep us on track while avoiding all the common pitfalls of the process. Whenever we wanted to discuss an item that made us stressed, Annie knew exactly what to say to help make us feel at ease. On the day-of, everything ran so flawlessly that we were completely unaware of anything happening behind the scenes. We got to be fully present, enjoy our day, and soak in every moment while they handled all the moving parts with total professionalism. Highly recommend! Thank you so much Annie, Curtis, and the Mango Season Team!

They are easy to work with and we received many compliments on our wedding about the execution of our day . From the moment we were hooked up with them from our venue (The Moana Surfrider) they have been nothing but helpful through the whole process, making planning our wedding easy. Annie has a bubbly upbeat attitude and her partner Curtis is calm and reassuring. Communication was continuous and helpful. We also hired them as our band and everyone was so impressed when Annie was able to join them after a day of getting us to our ceremony and reception. Their team is amazing and we are so happy they helped us !

My forest bathing experience with Phyllis Look was far more than a walk in a beautiful garden. It…read morewas an invitation to slow down, pay attention, and rediscover my relationship with the living world around me. Her gentle presence, wisdom, and skill as a guide created a space where I felt both grounded and renewed. What impressed me most was how naturally she helped us move beyond simply observing nature to truly being in conversation with it. The experience awakened gratitude, wonder, and a deeper sense of connection. Our time together was rich with meaningful reflection, laughter, silence, and insight. Phyllis brings extraordinary warmth, attentiveness, and authenticity to her work. She guides without forcing, teaches without preaching, and creates the conditions for each person to discover their own experience. I left feeling restored in body, mind, and spirit. Highly recommended for anyone seeking reflection, healing, and a deeper connection with the natural world. I wholeheartedly recommend Phyllis Look and Forest Bathing Hawaiʻi. This was one of the most meaningful wellness experiences I have had, and I will carry its gifts with me for a long time. -- Radmar Jao, SJ

If you're even slightly curious about it, I highly recommend giving it a try. It might impact you more than you think.

We hired Sila for partial planning and day of coordination for our destination wedding in Hawaii…read more She was laid back and calm during the entire process, especially during the day of our wedding. She helped with reviewing vendor contracts and communicated with them, on our behalf, when needed. We had monthly phone calls to stay on track but was always available via text and e-mail when things came up. Sila executed our vision perfectly and kept within our budget. She helped pick up our florals and wedding cake along with lending us some wedding decor, which was super helpful. Highly recommend Exquisite by Sila for your wedding planning and coordination needs. Thank you Sila for making our wedding day so special and stress free!

At first I was thrilled. Then I began noticing added on pricing for lights, a forgotten tent, extra…read moremoney for caterers to clean, extra vendor meals, etc. it was always after the fact and expensive. I would have strongly preferred all those details up front and on original quote. Despite me paying for a certain number of people, the extra food disappeared. No one in the wedding was told. Unfortunately, it came to no resolution. Kenekes said Sila was notified of the food being packed up and 6 full bags of leftovers in put in fridge. Sila said she was not notified, but took a couple half full bags of food home with her upon discovering them in her final check of property. The message was clear: we don't care and nothing will be resolved. My impression of Oahu was terrible, which was really disappointing. The island is beautiful but they have some special names and pricing for mainlanders, and none of it is flattering. The vendors have outdated payment methods and charge hundreds of extra dollars for using a credit card (only other option being to mail a cashiers check to vendor).

The Agency Collective Hawaii really stepped up and saved the day on multiple occasions…read more Liz was and IS amazing, she effortlessly stepped up to make our day special when others let us down. I highly recommend theagencycollectivehi for their professionalism, patience, and generosity. Let's not forget their amazing connections to wedding industry essentials! Liz coordinated with and connected out of state family and friends with beautiful accommodations in Waikiki at a special rate (anyone planning a wedding can probably compare this process to herding cats). We were struggling to find a DJ prior to her help and Within 10 minutes of our first conversation, she found us a DJ at the budget we set. DJ Philly Willie was a huge hit and my friends still can't stop talking about him! My MOM boogied the WHOLE night haha! Now let me touch upon the generosity and kindness from Liz and theagencycollectivehi. They were lifesavers. I'll spare the heavy details, but I was very unfortunately scammed (bank scam)‍ out of $13k a couple months before the wedding and didn't have the money to hire help. Liz reached out to Hawaii News Now, for my info, after seeing my current husband and I in an interview warning about the scamming empire. She offered her help in any way we needed and I cried. After being scammed. It's difficult to trust others motives. However, Liz won me over. I cannot thank her enough and once again believe beautiful people exist. This group is amazing and kind and genuine and I think that alone, deserves giving them a chance to make your day special. Cheers

Mahalo Shelby & team for all your hard work! We had an…read moreamazing wedding on June 2026 and it was everything and more than we expected. My mother in law hired Shelby and her team pretty early on our wedding planning. We met with Shelby and immediately knew we were in good hands. Planning our wedding was incredibly stressful because we had no idea what to do lol thankfully shelby started 5 months before our wedding day and she took a lot of the stress off of us. She definitely did more than she was supposed to... I think she knew how clueless we were it did not help that we didn't really have vision & didn't really care about the details. We just wanted to have a great time. She was so easy to talk to.. we had so many questions, asked for her advice on pretty much everything & she responded to all of it. On top of that, we wanted to DIY a good amount of things.. which I was pretty nervous about and I thought she would judge us because of it BUT she NEVER made us feel judged. Thank you Shelby for being understanding. Fast forward to our wedding day, she met us at the venue @9am. She already picked up our bouquets the day before which she did out of the kindness of her heart because that was definitely not her job to do.. Her team did most of the set up and even helped us carry all the chairs from ceremony to reception. AGAIN, out of kindness! Her team helped guide everyone throughout the day & everything went smoothly. Literally nothing went wrong. I have so much more to say but this is getting quite long so to wrap it up I just want to say, if you want a stressless wedding day, then Events By Shelby K is the one for you! We will be recommending them to all our friends and families.

I engaged Shelby for her partial planning service, and Shelby met with me for a whole year on a monthly basis, provided a lot of structure, resources and guidance in the planning process. I tend to be on the high anxiety side, and I find planning events incredibly stressful because I worry about everything and everyone. The planning anxiety, as well as worry that I wouldn't be able to enjoy my own wedding, initially made me not even want to have a wedding at all. But once I started meeting with Shelby, planning became more fun than stressful, and I was able to have so much fun on my wedding day, as Shelby took care of everything at the wedding so I didn't have to worry about anything other than trying not to step on my dress. Shelby took so much care in listening to our needs and responding to the painpoints of our planning process, often taking the wheel on communication, follow up, and other aspects of planning that were more challenging for me while not in Hawaii. Shelby also was very conscious of our priorities and budget limits, and she provided solutions I would never have thought about. It's been close to 2 months and my husband and I continue to look back to how beautiful our wedding was, and how thankful we are for Shelby for being part of our special day and the planning process. We have so much confidence recommending her to anyone thinking about a wedding in Hawaii.

My wife and I had no idea what entertainment we were even going to have at our wedding reception…read more After some scrambling and research, we found Hula Hula Entertainment. We filled out the contact form and Malia got back to me very quickly. She was very nice, understanding and was very thorough with all the information. She helped us narrow it down to their Orchid Package which consisted of 1 Hawaiian musician and 1 hula dancer with a sound system add on (recommended if your ceremony is outside). We got everything squared away within a few days which was great because it was less than a month before our reception. I had no idea how to throw a wedding reception so I wasn't sure how it would go but on the day of, Jeremy and Leilani were absolutely PERFECT. They couldn't have been more engaging and entertaining. They both worked with the crowd perfectly and the music and dancing were both beautiful. I can't emphasize enough how worth it their performances were. I have no regrets about booking them and I would book Hula Hula Entertainment for any other events I would have. Big thanks to Malia, Jeremy, and Leilani for making our day special!

Michele Made Our Wedding Perfect!…read more Michele from Memorable Hawaii Weddings truly made my dreams come true when she officiated the wedding between my husband and me. She was flexible, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the whole process. Even though we chose a simple "sign and go" option, she still went above and beyond to make our moment special -- she even decorated the table for us, which we absolutely loved!

On top of her amazing service, she was also the most affordable officiant we found -- yet the quality she provided was unmatched. It's clear she's an expert at what she does and genuinely cares about every couple she works with. We appreciate her so much!
