She had us meet via…read moreZoom due to this being a destination wedding but had plenty of flexibility with our schedules despite the time zone difference. We were fortunate enough to plan a trip to Maui before our wedding and she organized all the vendor meetings and schedules during our trip. Cherise's approved/recommended vendor list with description helped us make a comfortable decision with customizing our wedding for our special day. Cherise is extremely organized and detail oriented. We appreciated how much experience she had with our particular venue (Olowalu Plantation House). Given our busy schedules, we loved how hands off with planning you could be with her in the mix. She took care of all the communication needed with vendors. Our meetings with Cherise were spaced out initially, with a progressive increase in meeting frequency as our wedding approached quickly. The day-of wedding timeline was executed perfectly without delay. It was needless to say, a stress-free planning experience and would have no other recommendations for a wedding planner other than Cherise for Maui - whether you are local or you are planning a destination wedding. Attached are some photos of the beautiful table settings that Cherise helped put together, as well as ceremony arch - we just had to provide some ideas on Pinterest and she worked her magic to set everything up that we had envisioned!

And yes, we were one of the…read moremany couples that had to postpone our wedding (originally planned for April 2020) due to covid. Not only we had a perfect wedding, my bridesmaids were amazed at how calm I was before and on the wedding day (I knew I can trust Lorrie to take care of everything!). But more importantly, it's during the difficult times that you see someone's true quality! It was such a stressful time for us, having to deal with the unknown, wanted to pick a new date but really had no clue as to what's going to happen next... We actually changed our dates a couple of times back in 2020. Lorrie was always so patient, encouraging, so supportive while being such a professional. She went above and beyond to help out with things that I think she didn't even need to, just to make sure we have the best experience possible. Needless to say, I highly recommend Maui's Angels!

A year ago when we started the process of planning our Maui destination wedding from the Seattle…read morearea, we knew we had to find someone who was on top of their game. Maui's Angels was our top choice, without any regrets at all. Their personality, style and flair were things we (the wifey) were aiming for and we wouldn't have done it any other way. We loved working with our planner Ali, who basically is the quarterback of the whole operation! The process from start to finish was incredibly detailed, organized and coordinated. Everything was communicated via phone calls and emails (Ali would stay late [so sorry!] to accommodate the time zone difference and our busy work schedules): timelines, start and due dates, vendor selections, reminders, etc. Looking back I think the process was made so simple with the least amount stress as possible, with her passion and dedication. Overall the process was made fun and enjoyable which we loved. No wedding details were left unaccounted for from the planning process (even things like recommendations for suit selection for my guys spread out between NY, Cleveland, Austin) to coordinating ceremony and reception times with the sunset. Of course being a typical guy I underestimated the amount of details that could go into designing flower arrangements, table linens etc. When you work with MA, you get to work with their recommended list of reputable vendors who all come together in the end as a great team. This was our first time going to Maui as well and coordinating our 65 guests was difficult as expected, but Ali was always available to answer any logistics questions we had, no matter how insignificant or naive they sounded. I joked with wifey multiple times, I had so much trust in them that I could've just presented them pictures of what we wanted, left the layout process up to them and showed up the day of to be surprised at the ceremony/reception. Thank you Ali and Maui's Angels for all your hard work in making our vision come true on our special day! L & I

Our wedding coordinator, Marni, made everything so simple. We decided upon the Beach Deluxe package which allowed us to customize our wedding to what we had envisioned. We were able to choose our location, officiate, flowers, and music. Marni assisted me with choosing a company for hair and makeup, getting our marriage license, making dinner reservations, and ordering our wedding cake all via email/phone. Marni met with us the day before our wedding to show us our location and to review the plan for the next day. On the day of our wedding, she brought my bouquet to our hotel room and then promptly left to help my husband get ready for our first look. She even brought flower petals for us to throw in the air, which made for the perfect photo op with our family and friends. You have to put a lot of trust into someone you've never met before to make your wedding day what you envisioned. Marni and the planners at Intimate Weddings Maui accomplished all of this and more. Our wedding day was perfect and I could not be more grateful to them for everything they did.

Planning a wedding from the mainland can feel overwhelming, but they were always quick to respond, incredibly organized, and so patient with every question we had. They made us feel supported every step of the way and gave us complete confidence that everything would come together beautifully. On our wedding day, Diana was absolutely amazing. She kept everything running seamlessly while making us feel calm, relaxed, and able to be fully present. She thought of every little detail before we even had to ask, and her kindness and professionalism made such a difference. It truly felt like we had someone who genuinely cared about making our day perfect. Our photographer, Samantha, was incredible! She made us feel comfortable from the moment we met her, even though we aren't used to being in front of a camera. She guided us naturally, made us laugh, and captured every emotion and beautiful moment so effortlessly. We already know these photos will be treasured for the rest of our lives. Rev. Kuya gave us the most beautiful ceremony we could have asked for. His words were heartfelt, meaningful, and so genuine that there wasn't a dry eye among our family and friends. He made our ceremony feel deeply personal and full of love, and it is something we will never forget. If you're looking for a team that truly cares and goes above and beyond, Simple Maui Weddings is the best choice. Every single person we worked with made us feel special, and everything was handled with such care, professionalism, and kindness. Our wedding day was more beautiful than we ever dreamed possible, and we are forever grateful to Mira, John, Diana, Samantha, Rev.

I cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about Erica, Emily and Erica's entire team. A bride hires a…read morewedding planner to make the planning process easier and Erica certainly did that. But to truly enjoy the process of planning a wedding is almost unheard of. When talking with family and friends and the inevitable question comes up of "How is wedding planning going?", my response was always how everything was going great and how much I truly loved my wedding planner and her team. And every single time I said this, people would respond with how they've never heard of someone loving their planner or enjoying the process as much as I did. I found Erica almost a year before our original wedding date, as my fiancé and I were parting ways with our previous wedding planner we hired on the islands. I will never forget our first phone call as I was in tears explaining our current situation of being planner-less and being even more stressed than before. Erica's demeaner was instantly calming and little did I know, this would be a common theme throughout our wedding planning process managing the ups and downs of Covid. Erica was constantly in the know about the restrictions on the island and was coming up with solutions every time a new problem was presented. I think I cried on the phone with her more than some of my own girlfriends but every time I was panicked about the restrictions on the island haltering my wedding day, she would tell me to not go down a rabbit hole (LOL, guilty as charged) and that I could contact her whenever I was feeling uneasy. Every single vendor we worked with, and I mean every single one, from the hotel staff, to the florist, to the furniture vendors, would tell me how Erica is the best and how much they all respected her. She had a way of always coming up with exactly what I wanted while treating every vendor of mine with respect - you can tell that goes a long way with people on the island. Everyone seems to know everyone and word definitely gets around if someone (a planner, vendor, etc) is generally unpleasant to work with. I hadn't heard a single negative thing about Erica or her team - always about how nice she is and how she is the best. A few months before the wedding, we knew we needed to hire Erica and her team for my welcome party and rehearsal dinner and again, best decision ever. I was able to relax a lot more, my husband was happy that I was less stressed, and my parents felt confident knowing Erica had every.single.detail handled so we could all enjoy ourselves with our family and friends. Covid restrictions seemed to be changing weekly and I could barely keep up with the changes but Erica and her team were always one step ahead. After having 3 different wedding dates, the day was finally here! My wedding day (and week!) was the most amazing time of my husband and I's life. It was better than we even imagined. I was so relaxed and elated. I didn't hear of a *single* mishap or problem (not that I was expecting to) but sometimes things are out of your control and you just have to roll with it. But nope, not a single issue. I made a point of asking friends and family how everything was on their end (since I was too busy on cloud 9) and they had nothing but rave reviews. Erica even had one of the gals on her team (I forgot her name, ahh!) who was a stylist and was there to help myself and my bridesmaids with any wardrobe mishaps. You would be surprised at how many of my girls needed a last minute stitch here or there, even after getting their dresses altered beforehand by a seamstress. My dream of having an Amalfi coast themed wedding as an ode to our Italian roots finally came true! From our hand painted clay tiles as name cards, to the giant lemon tree in the middle of our beautiful circular bar (shoutout to Mandy Grace Designs - truly brilliant), the woven lanterns and string lights hanging over our reception, and last but not least, our traditional Italian wedding cake - millefoglie! I cannot express how important it is to have a wedding planner on the islands, especially if you are planning from the mainland. But more so, it's important to make sure you enjoy the process before your big day and have every ounce of confidence in your planner and her team that everything will be perfect. And it was perfect, and beautiful, and I wish I could go back every day and relive it. Our friends and family tell us every day how we wish we were all back on the islands together celebrating our wedding because it was just THAT amazing. We couldn't have done it without Erica and her team. She saved me a lot of tears and stress and just for that reason alone, I'd hire her over and over again. But I truly felt like I came away from this wedding with a new friend in Erica. She made my wedding day feel like a dream and for that, I will forever be thankful.

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.
