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. For anyone looking to plan their wedding, Veronica was always extremely friendly and helpful with all of our ideas and requests during planning. 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

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. Her preferred vendor list is top notch which helped to make for such a beautiful day!

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!!!

There was a last minute issue with our officiant and they were able to find a backup and helped ease my stress.

I'm grateful to have had them as my wedding coordinators.

We live in San Diego and wanted to plan a destination wedding. Never being to Hawaii before, I was…read moreconcerned that I would struggle with planning and making decisions not seeing them prior to our wedding day. Ashley held my hand the entire way and made me feel so good through the entire process. We booked at Gannon's Golf Club for 26 people and it was magical. Truly a dream wedding! 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 strongly recommend contacting Ashley if you are doing a destination wedding, or even live locally as she has connections everywhere. Thank you Ashley for making our day truly amazing!

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!

WOW, indeed! We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Kendall at A White Orchid…read moreWedding. From our very first conversation, we could tell that she truly cared about our upcoming event(s) and we felt confident that she would make our wedding day everything we'd ever dreamed of and more. My husband and I also work in Special Events and we had specific ideas and very high expectations for our big day. Kendall not only listened attentively and remembered each detail to ensure they were executed flawlessly, but she also went above and beyond to provide invaluable suggestions and tips along the way. We worked with INCREDIBLE vendors at her suggestion and trusted her completely to make the best decision that would bring our vision to life. Kendall's professionalism and organization were apparent from the start, always one step ahead, anticipating our needs and making sure no detail was overlooked. We were beyond impressed with the way Kendall treated our wedding with the same care she would her own... creating absolute perfection for my husband and I. From coordinating with vendors to managing timelines and being by our side, she handled every aspect of the planning process with grace and professionalism. Kendall's calm and reassuring personality was a godsend throughout the entire planning process, keeping us grounded and stress-free, even during the most hectic moments, and her positive energy was infectious. Our wedding was everything we ever dreamed of and more, in large part due to Kendall and A White Orchid Wedding. Our day was filled with love, laughter, beauty and unforgettable memories - and we have Kendall to thank for making it all possible. If you are in need of a Hawaii wedding coordinator that you can TRUST, we wholeheartedly recommend WOW for your special day! Mahalo nui loa, Kendall, for creating an experience that we'll never forget, we couldn't have done it without you!!

We had a simple order for our wedding: a bridal bouquet, a men's lei, and some flower aisle petals…read more I like to pre-plan so I ordered and paid 6 months in advanced and received a receipt and email confirmation. So far so good. Fast forward to our wedding in November and I don't get a call or email confirmation, but I look on the website and everything is up and running. I have my parents go to the physical shop to pick up my flowers and lo and behold, THE SHOP IS CLOSED. Less than 5 before my wedding. The google, yelp and invoice number are all disconnected or not it. I had to use my sleuth skills to google this ladies name (thank god it was on the invoice: Renee Was the CFD back in May 2017 with Maui Wholesale Blooms, though the invoice is actually Floral Events Maui, but all the same person). So I'm calling while driving to our venue (from Oahu, wedding in Maui) and Renee answers. I nicely (though a little anxiously) tell her my parents are at the shop but it's closed. She says she's not there. I tell her um. My wedding is TODAY in a few hours so are you dropping my order off at the venue? She has zero recollection of my order in her books/computer, "there's no one by that name with an order today." "...but, I paid. My wedding is today. I have confirmation..." I'm fuming inside and my husband notices this and talks to her, giving her an invoice number and voila, it pulls up! I was just thinking if I hadn't brought the invoice, I'd be whizz outta luck because this lady doesn't record keep well. Anyway, long story short, she hand delivers our flowers (which were beautiful) in time with a consolation bouquet for our troubles and a lackluster apology. Yeah. Flower arrangement was nice but not worth the hassle. 1 star for that.

My husband and I worked with Brittany Thorne from Let's Entertain Maui for our wedding in June…read more2022. We are incredibly disappointed in the services we received from Brittany and her lack of communication during the wedding planning process. First, our reception decor--tent and seat drapery--was supposed to be the color of a dusty rose, as indicated by our vendor contract. However, on the wedding day, we noticed that none of the drapery was dusty rose, and the seat drapings were a bright red/fushcia blend. We spoke to Brittany Throne, a month before our wedding date to align on the decor details. Brittany confirmed that they would have enough dusty rose drapery as needed for our wedding. However, on the day of the wedding, we noticed that our drapery was three different colors, none of which were matching with each other (red, candy pink, and another variation of pink)--and none being a dusty rose except the table napkins. What is most disappointing is that my husband and I were not alerted in any way that the drapery colors would be different than what we signed the contract for. I noticed the drapery color mistakes as I was walking down the aisle. If Brittany had done the courtesy to alert us that the colors would be different once she received the shipment, we would have worked to find another solution before our wedding day. The mistakes also included the brown wooden bar, which was supposed to be white. She ended up providing a small discount on the drapery since she made the mistake. However, this doesn't fix the problem as our pictures and wedding video will always reflect the wedding drapery mistakes that Brittany failed to inform us of and work with us to resolve. Attached is a photo of the drapery from our wedding as none of the drapery reflects the dusty rose color as stated on our contract.
