I am so grateful to have come across Charles and this plant collection. He has various rare and…read moresought out plants that he takes very good care of. A big plant enthusiast I must say. He was more than excited to share his collection even though we were "just looking". While he was walking us through his yard showing us his collection, We could tell from Just the excitement in his voice while he was sharing his plants with us that he truly cared for all his plants. The first time we met him we walked away with not purchasing any plants but in the end we contacted Charles to purchase. He had cuttings and rooted plants for us ready, he also was very accommodating and careful with his plant choices. He made sure he got us plants that were fully rooted or great cuttings. We ended up with cuttings and rooted plants. After the purchase was done he checked up on us the next day. He wanted to make sure everything was cleared with agriculture to bring back home. He offered to ship our cuttings if we ran into problems. He ended up shipping our rooted plants for us. He is also certified by agriculture. If you are a plant enthusiast or just starting. Its a must visit to see Charles. You won't regret it. We definitely do not.

I found more contemporary pieces and could have spent more time seeing the large collections which incorporate Hawaiian art. We had just been to the Lihue Native Museum the day before. Go here just to see the Niihau crafted necklaces. Amazing. They have one of the best museum quality necklace collections for sale by some of the few remaining living artists. The rare and highly valued shells (kahelelani, laiki, momi, and kamoa), are found on the beaches of Ni'ihau and crafted by the island's residents into various styles of lei, earrings, and bracelets, equaling one of Polynesia's most precious art forms. There truly is something for everyone and they are finally back open after the 22/24 flood. What a great restoration! I did not take pictures because it seemed disrespectful. However, there is a flock of the prettiest chickens you find on the island and this business has recovered from one of the worst floods last year with 57" of rain in 24" hours. The remodeled shop and grounds are amazing to see. Gabrielle can fill you in on the over 45 year history of this amazing establishment. Have fun! Go here before you buy elsewhere.

If I could give zero stars I would.

This was by no means an almost $200 bouquet of flowers. And it's Hawaii for gods sake there Re flowers everywhere how can they not find any! I canceled the order and will never again use them.

My wife and I recently celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary on the beautiful island of Kauai. I…read moresurprised my wife with a vow renewal ceremony arranged by Tory O'Malley of Custom Kauai Weddings. Tory did an absolutely amazing job, putting together a beautiful, intimate ceremony that we will remember all our lives. She is well-versed in Hawaiian traditions that made everything truly special. Tory was so easy to work with. All arrangements were done with just a few phone calls. She accommodated all my requests and picked out an absolutely spectacular beach venue. And the wonderful, caring way she conducted the ceremony really added true beauty to it all. We cannot thank Tory enough for creating such a great memory for us. She deserves more than 5 stars. We highly recommend her for any wedding or wedding-related ceremony you want to be truly special. Mahalo, Tory!!

Hiring LEK Events was hands down one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding in…read moreKauai. 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.

I was looking for a wedding planner that would be able to see my vision and help me make it happen…read more I was looking for Partial/Day of Coordination. I called several wedding planners. A couple planners didn't seem interested once we spoke and I mentioned Partial/Day of Coordination. I had narrowed it down to two planners. After speaking to Raimey and receiving her email with her quote, I knew she was the one. The photos she included in her presentation hit the nail on the head. A week leading up to the wedding was very stressful. Hurricane Lane was happening, but I knew we were okay since we had a Plan B. Due to the weather and flooding that was going on, unforseenable events happened. Raimey could have cancelled and we would totally understand, but she was there for us and a consummate professional. Because the weather was unpredictable, we decided to go with Plan B and have our ceremony on the lanai. She took my vision and made it a reality! Everything was beautiful and intimate. Mahalo Raimey!!
