I have since sent to friends and family on occasion, right around or after Thanksgiving.

My preferred florist on Maui was closed so I searched the web and Yelp for alternatives. When I…read morelooked at the offerings from Fernhouse I was immediately struck by the artistry of design which wasn't cookie-cutter like so many others. Ordering the flower arrangement, scheduling the delivery, and paying for it via Fernhouse's website was easy, and I received the requested text message the next day when the order was fulfilled. When my friend sent me a pic of the flowers and thanked me for the gift, I became infuriated! The flower arrangement that was delivered BARELY resembled the photo of the arrangement I ordered. I am well aware that some flowers and fillers are seasonal and, at times, might not be available. But, I would expect a florist to remove the item from the website and/or contact the buyer when the greater majority of the flowers needed are unavailable. Among the differences: The sales pic shows 2 Birds of Paradise; my order contained 1. The sales pic shows beautiful red/orange roses and similarly warm-colored filler flowers (that are orchid-like); my order contained yellow pompoms and zinnia. The vibe is completely different. The flowers that were used are, in my opinion, of a lower caliber than what I was sold. Additionally, the arrangement that was delivered was by no means as full/rich as the specimen in the sales pic. Bottom line: what I paid for is very different from what was delivered, and (to me) this borders on "bait & switch." Additionally, had the arrangement that was delivered been shown on their website, I would NOT have considered paying $95 for it; mind you...that's $95 before tax, tip and delivery.

After 8PM when we confirmed with our family the arrangement was never received we attempted to call back and she stopped responding.

In fact, all of my friends and family told me that it must've been the most stressful time of my life. They were wrong. What they didn't know was that I had the most incredible wedding coordinator that any bride could ever hope for. Darren was extremely easy and so pleasant to work with. My husband and I are from California and we had never met Darren in person nor did we see our wedding venue before we decided on both. We spoke to several wedding planning groups and knew Darren was the one after the very first conversation. He's local to the island and his knowledge about the industry is truly unmatched. We were working with Darren for just about a year and a half before our big day came. From the communication to the organization, to the small details and sentimental touches, Darren and his team were able to make our special day everything that I could ever imagine since I was a little girl. Darren was kind, considerate, respectful, genuine, and more! He puts you first and all of your ideas and concerns before anything else. I can't think of one thing that made wedding planning stressful, all thanks to him. I really had the best time planning because he made it all so fun! We met him in person about six months before the wedding. He walked us around the venue, showed us how the layout would be organized and after, we went to lunch to discuss some of the smaller and larger details. We instantly trusted him and never once doubted him because we knew that he would make everything just so perfect. Our wedding day completely proved that. Not once did we have to worry that something wouldn't be done. It was impossible to be "Bridezilla" with Darren on your side. From the moment we arrived at the venue to the minute we left, Darren took care of every single thing. He made sure that we were always having fun, that we always had a beverage in our hand and that we were fed. He consistently checked in while coordinating the entire day (don't ask me how he does it). He was so considerate of our time with our friends and family and really blew everybody away with all the magic he was able to create. Not only was Darren our wedding coordinator but he was also our florist. Hands down, best decision we have ever made! The florals were absolutely breathtaking. I shared my visions with Darren and he made everything I ever wanted come to life. The colors, the style, and type of flowers was everything I dreamt of. All the arrangements were as if you took it from a magazine or movie. They were so picturesque and vibrant. It has been almost 2 months since the wedding and until this day we are still getting compliments and people asking to do it all over again because it was the best wedding they had ever been to. As a bride and groom, hearing your guests say your wedding was the best wedding they have ever attended is the utmost, best compliment you can ever receive. Not only do you want to feel like your wedding day was the most special and perfect day of your life, but to hear your guests communicate it makes everything a million times better. We can honestly say that thanks to Darren Keala, our wedding day was truly the BEST day of our lives. We can't say it enough but we really wish there was a rewind button! All in all, Darren gave us more than we could ever ask for and we will forever be grateful. The memories continuously replay in our heads over and over again and make us smile every time we think about it. Our wedding day felt like a true fairy tale. In the end, we also gained ourselves a life long friend! If you're looking for an event coordinator, Events by Darren Keala will be the best decision you ever make, you have my word.

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.

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!

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!!

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.
