    When your best friend and all-time favorite person proposes during a pandemic, you just don't want to wait to be married. Robert was fantastic!!! He took great care to make sure our day was what we wanted. He suggested a fantastic spot that was a great setting for the ceremony and a stunning backdrop for photos. I have a absolute confidence that he can deliver the wedding of your dreams whether your style is big and fancy or more of a simple beach ceremony.

    Responsiveness If you are reading this, I hope its because you are ready to enter the next chapter of your lives. congratulations Robert and Naomi of Islander Weddings are top notch. We reached out to them 2 month prior to our wedding date and they came through. We gave them our vision and even in the middle of a pandemic, they were informative, responsive and delivered the best customer service. I was a stress free bride. I just had to focus on me and show up to marry my best friend. All the professionals hired from Limo, to videographer we amazing. Please, if you desire an all star, beautiful event, look no further We can't thank Robert and Naomi enough. Mahalo nui loa Josie & Kevin

    It was the best day of our lives! Everything was perfect! It was peaceful, full of love and positive energy all over. Robert and Naomi have such a good energy! I am so happy that we found them to do our wedding. My husband and I decided to have a simple ceremony just with the two of us here in Hawaii. We started to research officiants and photographers, then we found the packages with Islander weddings. I am so grateful we did! Robert and Naomi made of our wedding an unforgettable day! We are so thankful, thank you so much for making our day so especial! You two will always be present in our memories! The pictures came out lovely!! And, I have no words to express our happiness! PS: It is the first time I write a review. I hope this is helpful for you who is trying to decide. Much love and light for all!

    Robert was extremely flexible and helpful and did everything he could to ensure my husband and I got married. We had originally planned to get married on August 8th during sunrise at Makapu'u beach, and I was supposed to bring my family, but Hawaii's mandatory 14 day quarantine was extended! Robert promptly emailed me and let me know about the extension and was willing to help me if I wanted to push back our wedding. I said no, that I wanted to continue woth our planned date but my family would no longer be there with me and I would have to quarantine for 2 weeks. All was going to plan until 2 DAYS before we were supposed to get married the governor of Hawaii announced that all beaches were to close at midnight on Friday (we were supposed to be married Saturday morning). I emailed Robert around 10pm frantically asking what we could do. I was sobbing because it felt like all the odds were stacked against us getting married. Thankfully Robert got back to me early in the morning stating that we could move the wedding up to that day and that he already contacted the photographer and that she was able to make it as well. He offered a new time and a new location since Makapu'u was mostly ideal for the sunrise and now we would be married at sunset. He said we could keep our old location if we wanted but I went along with his suggestion and I am SO GLAD I did. We ended up getting married on August 7th at Sandy beach at sunset and it was so incredibly beautiful. They arrived earlier than us and picked out a nice secluded spot for our ceremony. During the ceremony, I started to tear up and Robert was prepared with tissues for me. Afterwards he helped us fill out our paperwork and explained how he would submit everything online THAT NIGHT so that we could get our marriage certificate as fast as possible, since I told him we needed our certificate for paperwork we needed to complete with the military while I was still on island. The photographer, Michelle, made us feel comfortable and did all she could to get the perfect shot. She was literally climbing in the bushes and balancing over the rocks to get the best angles! It was worth it because they turned out amazing and I am soooo happy with how they look. Overall, I would 10000% reccomend Islander Weddings to anyone looking to get married on O'ahu.

    Islander Weddings did an absolutely fabulous job with our wedding! The bouquet I purchased through them was beautiful as were the leis. I also added a heart of rose petals in the sand for the 2 of us to stand in which turned out very nice. The photographer who was hired for our ceremony - Jolene Kaneshige - did an outstanding job and was very easy to work with (I attached a couple of her photos from the ceremony). Robert personalized the ceremony as requested and it was exactly what we were hoping for. The ukelele player, who's name I cannot remember, played a song at the start and the end of the ceremony and he was very talented - everyone enjoyed this part of the ceremony! Overall they were very easy to work with and so accommodating, which relieves a lot of stress when planning a destination wedding! I highly recommend Islander Weddings and Robert Roche.

    I am so blessed to have come upon islander weddings. Everything was perfect for our vow renewal ceremony. Robert and his wife Naomi made this day amazing for us. They are wonderful people. From the moment you meet Robert you know you chose the right people to do this. His wife sang so beautiful with the ukelele and it just gave the ceremony that beautiful hawaiian aloha feeling. Highly recommended.

    Robert w the family.

    I helped my friends plan their wedding using this service. Robert and his wife were awesome and made the ceremony absolutely beautiful. Her singing w ukulele made it romantic with touch of Hawaiian charm. They hung out to talk w family afterwards and were not in rush to jet. They are a wonderful team. We also got the photographer thru them. This guy was awesome, he took his time to get shots and spent time w my friends on their own. Super nice guy. Don't know the name but you can trust robert to get a talented photographer. Thanks robert!

    Planning a wedding from 2000 miles away is no easy task. Robert and crew definitely made it easier and such a stream lined process. Plus We get home 1 week after our wedding to a disk of our photos! So excited to view them.

    Robert with Islander Weddings performed our ceremony on 9/6/19 at Makapu'u Beach and we COULD NOT be more pleased with how everything turned out!!!! Our wedding was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT and EVERYTHING we had dreamed it could be!!! Little did he know that we had done months of research and comparisons of the 100+ wedding vendors available on the island of Oahu! I am so happy that we decided to go with Islander Weddings!!! Robert and his team of professionals did not disappoint!!! Robert impressed me from day one by being very responsive, patient and understanding to my plethora of emails with questions and concerns, as we were planning this destination wedding from 4800 miles away, but also on a predetermined budget. He worked with us to create a package that was PERFECT to our wants and needs, then he and his team made our dream come to fruition!!! We arrived on the beach never having met Robert or his team in person, but was immediately set at ease that there was no need to worry!! We were in great hands and had the BEST day of our lives!!!! Mahalo to Robert for making our dream wedding come true flawlessly, to Kaipo for playing your Ukelele and singing so beautifully and to Marty and Michelle for capturing and producing STUNNING videos and pictures of our special day!!! Many blessings to you ALL!!!! To those of you looking to wed or renew your vows in Oahu, look no further. Islander Weddings is the best!!!!!

    Photographers were professionals!

    The service we received from Robert and his wife exceeded our expectations from the moment we booked our package online. Our wedding was magical as we got married in Waimanalo Beach Park. Robert and his wife took care of all the details so we could focus on enjoying our special day. What was most impressive was the personalized service and the musical talents of Robert's wife Naomi. We purchased the Islander Elite Wedding package and it was an incredible value. We will definitely be back to renew our vows!

    I am from Australia and when I decided that Hawaii was the place for my wedding I had to get googling.. I am a perfectionist so when I decided to go with Islander Weddings I knew I had made the right decision! Robert responded to all my emails quickly and efficiently.. When I made a quick trip over to Hawaii 6weeks before my big day I met with Robert! He is one of the most nicest person you will ever meet.. he is so calm and genuine and just made everything flow for our wedding day.. words can not express how happy we were with how our wedding went.. we had a ukulele performermer and a hula girl.. we were married to the Hawaiian Wedding song and everything was amazing.. Robert performed the ceremony and his words were so kind and just beautiful.. we honestly cannot Thank him enough.. wonderful organisation

    See all

From day one, her organization and unmatched attention to detail put us completely at ease. Louise is the perfect blend of professional, intentional, warm, and reassuring--everything you could ever hope for in a wedding planner. Louise not only guided us through a smooth, stress-free planning process with easy, consistent communication, but she also created the most incredible florals and overall wedding design. Our floral arrangements were absolutely breathtaking--regal, romantic, and so magical that it truly felt like stepping into a fairytale. She did an exceptional job using her creativity to showcase our personal style in every detail, and her design recommendations fit our personalities, and our vision so perfectly. She brought everything together so cohesively that the entire day felt beautifully curated and deeply personal. When we had to unexpectedly change venues just a couple of months before the wedding, Louise handled the transition with such calm confidence, and care that we weren't even worried. From the start we already knew we were in the best hands, and Louise proved it once again by making the transition to a new venue totally seamless and helping us secure new vendors who were a perfect fit for our new space. What could have been a stressful setback ended up creating an even better outcome than we ever could have imagined. And on the wedding day itself? If there were any hiccups, we had no idea--because Louise and the LLW team had planned, executed, and managed everything so flawlessly behind the scenes. All we felt was pure joy and excitement. Louise really brought our dream wedding to life more beautifully than we ever could have envisioned. We are forever grateful to Louise and wholeheartedly recommend Love Letter Weddings to anyone wanting a seamless, stunning, and heartfelt planning experience. Louise is truly the BEST of the best. She made our fairytale a reality. We will cherish this special day forever.

While Jayvee was very helpful during the initial planning stages, a scheduling conflict arose two weeks before our wedding, and we were handed off to Leah. Despite the short notice, Leah took over and was incredibly thorough. We scheduled multiple meetings in those final weeks to ensure she knew our vision inside and out. She immediately began checking in with our vendors to ensure everything was on track. Since we were planning from Canada (not sure why our profile says SF) and had never seen our venue, we did a walkthrough with Leah and Monique once we arrived. By the time we hit the rehearsal the day before, they knew our plans well and were identifying small details we hadn't even thought of. The real "kicker" happened the morning of the wedding: the island and our venue flash flooded, and we were forced to call off the day after hair and makeup were just wrapping up at 8AM. In what would have been a breaking point for most couples, Leah, Monique, and Jayvee were our rocks. They helped calm us down and worked tirelessly with our vendors to reschedule everything. We let them know our venue preferences (no ballrooms or conference rooms, we're in Hawaii!) and they assured us that we would be able to plan something for the next day. In less than 24 hours, they helped us plan an entirely new wedding despite unknowns about the weather. Within hours, they secured a brand-new venue, negotiated the rental of a tent left over from a previous event, coordinated with all vendors to rearrange arrival times and logistics, adjusted floor plans, and rental counts due to a shift in guest attendance, and so much more that we probably don't even know. While the total change in venue and timeline led to some unavoidable delays, we saw Leah and Monique working incredibly hard to pivot and make the day beautiful. They "married" our original vision with these new, emergency arrangements as perfectly as possible. It was also the nicest day we had experienced on the island since landing several days before, a huge blessing. Once we finally made it down the aisle, they kept us on schedule and completely stress-free. Because of them, we were able to actually soak in and enjoy our wedding day, even though everything felt brand new. Having Leah and Monique by our side was a true blessing, we cannot recommend them enough for their expertise, heart, and ability to perform under pressure. Leah, Monique, and Jayvee - we love you!

Jayvee, Chiara, Elena, and Mina were absolutely incredible. They responded to emails promptly, walked us through every detail during planning meetings, and truly listened to what I wanted -elegant and simple. On the big day, they brought that vision to life flawlessly. I didn't have to worry about a thing. They handled everything with calm professionalism and kindness. One moment I'll never forget was when I realized I had forgotten my veil, and the venue was ready to start the ceremony without it. Even after I expressed that I really wanted to wait, they pushed to begin on time. I was feeling pretty heartbroken at the thought of walking down the aisle without something that felt so special to me. Jayvee stepped in and advocated for me without hesitation -she firmly and graciously pushed back multiple times, insisting that we wait. Thanks to her, we delayed the ceremony about 20 minutes until the veil arrived, and I got to walk down the aisle with my veil! I'm forever grateful for that moment. We also had a transportation issue less than a month before the wedding when the shuttle company we had originally booked suddenly bailed on us. It was a stressful moment, but Cherished stepped in immediately, found a reliable replacement, and handled all the coordination. The entire day flowed beautifully, from ceremony to reception, and I received so many compliments from our guests about how stunning and seamless everything felt. Thanks to The Cherished in Hawaii Weddings Team, I was able to be fully present and soak in every moment of the most beautiful day I could have imagined. I truly couldn't recommend them more. Mahalo Cherished!

Planning a wedding from California could have been overwhelming, but the Aloha Bridal Company team made the entire process seamless. From our first conversation with Lauren and Mackenzie, we felt confident we were in the right hands and were working with the right wedding planning team in Hawaii. They helped us choose a package that fit our needs perfectly. Throughout the planning process, Mackenzie and Jamie kept everything organized with great communication and helped bring our vision to life beautifully. Anytime we had questions or needed help with finding a vendor, the entire ACB team was very knowledgeable and helpful in finding us what we were looking for. When we were introduced to Sammy, our Lead Coordinator, we knew we were in amazing hands. She was absolutely incredible and wouldn't have wanted anyone but her with us on our day. She was incredibly detail-oriented, organized, responsive, and made everything run smoothly -- from our rehearsal to our Four Seasons Hawaii wedding day itself. ABC also brought their content creator, Jessica, who captured amazing behind-the-scenes moments and shared them with us afterward, which was such a thoughtful bonus. Because of Sammy, Jamie and the entire Aloha Bridal Company team, we were able to truly relax and enjoy every moment of our destination wedding day because the ABC team had everything handled behind the scenes. They even made sure we stayed hydrated and had time to eat -- the little things that make such a difference. If you're looking for a wedding planner in Hawaii, we cannot recommend Aloha Bridal Company enough. Their professionalism, organization, and genuine care truly gave us the wedding of our dreams in a place that means so much to us. We're so grateful for this team and genuinely miss working with them. We hope to see Sammy and the ABC team again the next time we return to Hawaii

    Despite the glowing reviews and many recommendations that ABC Weddings was one of the best planning…read moreand coordination teams in Oahu- I unfortunately was left very disappointed with the lack of presence/front-end coordination on the wedding day and miscommunication. For background information, we purchased their basic package for $3000 (which is only for hotel venues). The first mishap was when I wanted to schedule an appointment to discuss additional questions I had ($120 for 1 hour). They never showed up for my appointment. I did try calling their main line and the coordinators cell phone, but it all went to voicemail. In the end, it turned out that the coordinator was moving and had a lot on her plate, so my appointment fell through the cracks. They ended up scheduling me another meeting free of charge, which I did appreciate. In October, I was really feeling the pressure, so I inquired about having my coordinator start 3 weeks earlier than planned. ABC Weddings was quick to respond and have my lead coordinator, Sammy, start earlier for a $500 fee, to which I paid. Here's where things take a turn for the disappointing. When Sammy took over point of contact (POC), I still had my vendors emailing me directly for questions/info. Also, when I asked Sammy questions about my venue (i.e. rehearsal times/location, basic questions regarding catering, etc), she wasn't sure a lot of the times, which then meant I had to ask my venue directly. This wasn't EVERY time, but it was a lot of the time, which I felt defeated the purpose of taking over POC. I also felt there wasn't closed loop communication, so I was unsure of what Sammy was doing on her side with the vendors until the very end when I asked her to CC me on her final emails with timelines so I knew what they were being told. At the rehearsal, Sammy only had 2 copies of the timeline printed, which was not enough to distribute to both our parents and our maid of honor/best man. Additionally, we also learned at the rehearsal that she was NOT going to be the person actually coordinating the day. For example, letting us know where to go and when, updating the timeline if there are any changes, etc. Per our contract, it states: "We will check in with you before the professional photographer arrives to organize the important details, check in with family members, keep the timeline moving smoothly, get you out the door on time, organize requested group photos, and overall customer service throughout the day!" The huge missing pieces for us was checking in with family members, keeping the timeline moving smoothly, and getting us out the door on time. On the day of, Sammy was already confused on a decor piece that we had discussed at previous meetings, which led to me having to re-explain to her what I wanted during my hair/makeup. She did not check-in with any of my family members/bridal party. She only had communication with my matron of honor who was running the entire timeline/day, and this was largely because my matron of honor was the one checking in with her. She did not text us to let us know when to go where, so we were completely on our own. When it came time to put on my wedding gown, Sammy was unable to zip my dress, and the entire time I was clearly upset, she did not offer any reassurance or support, but rather spent time in the living room looking lost/confused. She did call the wedding shop, per my suggestion, and they came to the venue to help put on my dress which was amazing on their part (Casablanca!). Due to the issue with the dress, our timeline got pushed back by 15-20 mins, to which she told my matron of honor to let my parents know to delay our first look. Why didn't she text them and update the timeline herself? Although it worked out, this situation was not solved nor made better by Sammy. Honestly it felt like she didn't want to be there and didn't have a lot of care for our wedding day. I did share my thoughts with Lauren (CEO) post-wedding, and she was very apologetic but explained that "Our lead coordinators focus primarily on managing logistics, vendors, and timeline flow behind the scenes so couples can remain present and enjoy their day". This is confusing because that's not what is stated in our contract nor expected from our conversations. I understand she was doing the behind the scenes, but why was the timeline piece missing? There were two coordinators on site, to which I was told the 2nd coordinator would be doing setup/vendor management, but it seems like that's not the case? Irregardless, I felt the contract was not met, and that there was not any management for us, the wedding party and family members. Sadly, I would not recommend ABC Weddings if you are purchasing the basic coordination package. It definitely seemed that because I purchased the lowest tier, we were not high priority and it did not feel like they were willing to go above and beyond for one of the most special days of our lives.

From start to finish, Tessa and her team made our wedding unforgettable. It's been seven months since our big day (February 23, 2025), and my wife, myself, our friends, and family still talk about it constantly. We laughed, cried, ate, drank, danced, socialized, and snapped countless photos. Most importantly, we were able to relax and truly enjoy ourselves. Fred and Kate Events had everything under control. The only thing we had to focus on was getting married--which is exactly how it should be. Tessa is phenomenal, and her staff is top-tier: professional, attentive, and kind. If you try to step in, they'll gently remind you to let them handle it--and trust me, you'll be glad you did. We can't thank them enough for managing every detail so we could stay present in the moment. That gift alone was priceless.

    We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Fred and Kate! From the very beginning,…read morethey were organized, easy to communicate with, and always made us feel heard and supported. No matter how many questions or requests we had (and we had plenty!), Tessa, Henry, Midori, and Lauren were consistently accommodating, friendly, and incredibly quick to respond. On the day of the wedding, the planning team showed up in full force. They were professional, efficient, and totally on top of everything--firm when they needed to be, but always brought the right energy and hype to keep the day exciting and fun. Everything ran so smoothly that we hardly even noticed they were there, which is a true testament to how well they had everything under control. We're so grateful for their dedication and would highly recommend Fred and Kate to any couple looking for a seamless and joyful wedding planning experience!

    Mona, Aileen and the rest of the NEU team exceeded our expectations. I was a very type A bride but…read moreMona's attention to detail, organization and helpful suggestions showed me how a real pro does it. The biggest issue on our wedding day was some passing rain around the time of the ceremony, but Mona came up with some scheduling pivots on site that helped us find a good solution and everything went off PERFECTLY. Wedding planning is not for the faint of heart but anyone can do it with Mona's help. Full service planning with her team was the way to go! If only I needed her services again, id hired her all over again in a heartbeat!

The days leading up to my son and daughter-in-law's wedding went off without a hiccup due to Mona and her well-orchestrated team. The day of the wedding had so many moving parts, an outdoor wedding on a beautiful estate, with 150 in attendance, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, entrance, dance, entertainment, bar, dessert display, coordination of photos and seating it was seamless due to Mona and her team. Mona is always one step ahead with every detail. So many friends and family commented on how beautiful and organized the entire wedding was. My son and daughter-in-law focused on their vows and a beautiful evening with their closest friends and family. All details were taken care of by Mona. NEU Events came highly recommended and I understand why. I was in awe of the level of experience, expertise, and excellence I watched unfold. I have lived in Hawaii for near 50 years and have attended countless weddings, events, and professional galas, many with excellent coordination and event planners, Mona with NEU Events is a few notches above the best I've experienced, Bar None

    I normally do not write reviews but this team deserves a special mention. From the photoshoot to…read morethe wedding day, everything went as planned. The attention to detail, sense of urgency, the care for the bride was all spot on. They really do take the stress out of your special day so you can enjoy the beauty of Hawaii. For us specifically, we had family members coming from multiple places and I caught a fever. Thankfully, the Idowedding team hand held us through the entire process from advising which hotel to stay at and what's popular to eat. Their care allows you to stress less. It did not feel like we were going through a cookie cutter machine but rather they viewed us as a project to succeed on which makes all the difference in customer experience. Five stars from me as they really impressed me with their personal touch on our once in a lifetime day.

It was helpful during the intake because they ask specific questions to narrow down your search and give you a very easy list of the options for what you are looking for. I do think it would have been a smoother process in the beginning if there was regular communication from the very getgo but it was a little slow as I'm sure they had to prioritize the weddings that were more upcoming. However when it came time closer to our wedding they were definitely very involved in trying to get all details lined up. I had some anxiety with the wedding and whole planning process especially with the weather conditions but there was consistent and constant communication leading up and their advice and suggestions/expertise really helped in making decisions. The day itself was difficult as it was really downpouring right up until the ceremony began but seeing the staff and Cindy and Jessica work so hard for all things to come together was really wonderful and you can tell they really worked hard to make everything come together. Planning a destination is not easy at all and as much of a difficulty it is making decisions, having this team really made it so much easier and you can feel like you can leave it up to them to get everything completed. There were a few hiccups with some items of course that you can expect with all weddings for sure but it was still such an amazing and easy experience that you don't even care about the things that didn't go fully right and just remember the amazing time and the whole wedding that it didn't feel there were any regrets at all. Cindy especially was so good at responses and answering all the nitty gritty that they are such a great team and Jessica really tries to take on the stresses for you so that you're not stressed as the bride. I would recommend if you're looking for a wedding planner as they have a lot encompassing to offer and my wedding turned out absolutely beautiful! Thank you Ido team and Jessica and Cindy especially!!!

From the very first consultation to the final send-off at our Oahu wedding, Nicole was an absolute dream to work with.

    Best day ever , literally! I am a California resident and wanted to elope with my husband (just…read morecelebrated our 1 year a couple months ago!). We searched around a few of the destination wedding sites for help and planning of a micro wedding/elopement in Hawaii. Nicole's team had the small business vibe, professionalism and knowledge that was obvious from the get go and blew the other agencies out of the water. Responses are prompt and straight forward and cover ALL of the bases. She is a steady support throughout the entire process, has connections in the area and for the best amenities, and offers a huge deal for what you're paying! Instead of comparing prices, deals, must haves, make the decision to include best day ever for your wedding planning and rest assured the fine details and plans run smoothly without the added stress of such an important day. I know other couples who have married in Hawaii and can solidly confirm their photography, details, ease and professional were no match in comparison and am grateful I went my gut instinct - now I recommend this to anyone!
