Planning your wedding remotely is not easy (at least from my experience). I had talked to several other planners/coordinators before I spoke with Luanna and once I spoke with her I could sense that she was the right person for our wedding. Even before I formally engaged Maui Concierge Wedding, Luanna provided me with a list of services I would need or that she recommends for our wedding and also provided an estimate very promptly. There were some other planners more publicized in Maui, but what really drew me to Luanna was that she listened. Before she started making suggestions (as most other planners do) she took the time to listen. She listened to how we pictured our wedding day to be and worked from there. Although I had specific ideas and visions, my husband and I realized that there were also a lot of things to consider and learn about weddings. And that's where Luanna stepped in to provide her insights. The planning process took almost a year. I asked Luanna that I did not want to wait until the last minute to make decisions and asked that we make progress and make decisions on certain items every month. And she would follow up frequently to remind me of those deadlines we set together and also let me take more time when I wanted to explore different options or wasn't 100 percent convinced. And when it came very close to the wedding date and I started to get really nervous, she and I would talk almost everyday and she would even answer my calls and respond to emails when she was traveling abroad. And I have to say our wedding day was just perfect! All the guests complimented our wedding, and some even told us that ours was the best destination wedding, if not the best wedding, they had attended. The décor, the staffs, how the day progressed moving from ceremony to reception, then to dinner and then to entertainment, the logistics... There was no single glitch (other than the alarm on the property next to the venue suddenly going off for couple minutes which were out of anyone's control anyway). It was just flawless. It is hard to describe how our wedding was so perfect in words, but it just was... Having said all this, I do have to say that Luanna's greatest professional assets are her vendor connections. The catering service, the bar service, the officiant, the photographer (the photographer also deserves our separate review!), the florist, the videographer... every single one at our wedding was so professional and super pleasant to work with. Not only did they provide excellent services but they were all really nice people. And most importantly she was able to hold these services for us for months (in some cases for more than 6 months). We could just see that she had great working relationships with these vendors and that the vendors listened to Luanna's direction and were all trying to help Luanna achieve her goal, which was to make our wedding better than what we had envisioned. Lastly, I have to mention that, even after our wedding day Luanna actually stopped by our hotel three separate times to hand over an iphone one of our guests left at the venue, to give us leftover wines from the wedding party and also to deliver the marriage certificate and say goodbyes. She is a real professional and more importantly, truly a genuine and also super fun person. I could not have asked for a better person to have handled our wedding and become a part of our wedding memories. Believe me, your wedding planner really becomes a part of, not only the planning and preparation process, but also your entire journey, so please choose wisely! If you are thinking of having a wedding in Maui, she is the go-to person! I highly encourage everyone to at least try giving her a call and chat. read more

Our wedding on 21st January 2017 was coordinated by the truly spectacular Luanna and her team at MWC. What can we say?!? Luanna is a true professional and just a genuinely lovely person! From our initial meeting in November 2015 until our big day, Luanna put in a lot of timeless work and effort to assist us to put together our destination wedding at Olowalu Plantation House, (which is a spectacular venue). Given that we are based in Sydney, Australia, Luanna was entrusted by us to basically organize the whole day after being given only a few vague ideas about what we liked and our tight budget. To cut a long story short Luanna delivered big time! Just one example of Luanna's dedication and commitment was the fact that Luanna suggested accommodation options for us and our family and then drove past to check the area where we were proposing to stay. Luanna recommended restaurants for us, pre-wedding ideas and locations and things to do on Maui. We honestly became family and we miss our regular Skype catch-ups. As for the day itself, we had the biggest wind storm for many years! Glasses and fixtures blew over and smashed and branches fell onto the original seating layout. We needn't have worried. Luanna worked her magic, we truly had the most horrid weather but you could hardly tell. Luanna ran around all night, made last minute changes as needed and all our guests absolutely loved it! Luanna's choice of vendors was perfect; DJ, photography, Caterer, performers, florist, bar, everything was just great. The table decorations, which Luanna designed herself, could not have been more beautiful. If you're looking for a wedding planner stop looking and contact Luanna now! Luanna is a true specialist in her field and we would highly recommend 'Maui Wedding Concierge' to anyone thinking of getting married or planning a special event in Maui. As mentioned on our special day..,we could go on and on....we want to say a massive MAHALO Luanna for everything. Your skill and demeanour made our amazing, memorable and wonderful wedding a reality! Thanks very much!! Love Craig and Amisone xo read more

where do I start...Luanna is AWESOME! Her crew is awesome too! My wife and I had been planning our wedding in Maui since last August. We ran an exhaustive search for the right wedding coordinator for us. We landed on Luanna and couldn't be happier! She's been great every step of the way. She worked seamlessly with my wife on the important wedding details and with me on the budget (what can I say, my role is to watch the money). Luanna's got great relationships with all of her vendors. she got us great deals and we could see that she had deep and longstanding relationships with her folks. It was almost like everyone was family! her recommendations for our caterer, DJ, bartending group and officiant were totally spot ont! She and her husband went out of the way to accommodate us before and throughout our entire wedding week. She even helped out with parties we had that she wasn't even coordinating! The day of our wedding at the Sugarman estate went off without a hitch. Luanna was in complete control. All of our rentals were in place and beautiful. Everyone was on time and ready to roll. I don't actually recall one time where something went wrong. we had a ton of moving parts and surprises and still nothing got missed. Luanna even surprised us with bonuses like uplights for the trees on the property, an exotic fruit platter that everyone loved and additional flowers! We have gotten so many compliments on how great our wedding was and how it was "the best wedding" a lot of our guests have been to. We never could have done it without Luanna. I can't imagine anyone being better! thanks so much! read more

If I could give 10 stars I would! Luanna of Maui Wedding Concierge (MWC) was absolutely amazing! She exceeded all of my expectations. Planning a destination wedding could potentially be stressful, but Luanna put me at ease and made my wedding planning a breeze. In fact, we had originally planed on getting married at Sugarman Estate on Maui, but they sold the property and we had to scramble to find a new location. She worked around the clock to make sure my vision and wedding would be a success. She was able to secure our same wedding date at the White Orchid Beach House and it was a blessing in disguise. She listened to my vision and executed exactly what I had in mind. Her attention to detail goes far beyond what I ever could have imagined. She helped me stay within my budget while throwing the most magical wedding! The vendors she recommended were absolutely wonderful and my guests are still raving about the food, bar, and music. Her husband was involved and was a huge help the day of the wedding. He made sure we were taken care of and had everything we needed. If you're looking for a great photographer I highly recommend Luanna's husband, Karl! The two of them work very well together. I not only found an amazing wedding coordinator, I found a lifelong friend! read more

Luanna is the absolute most amazing woman. She took our ideas of our dream wedding and made them become a reality. She constantly kept in touch with us and ensuring that things were going smoothly on our end. She made a destination wedding perfect. She handled everything for us and eliminated all the stress the comes with a wedding, let alone a destination one. On the wedding day, I walked on to the property at the Sugarman Estate, I was amazed! Everything that we had wanted and imagined was a reality! The dream wedding we had hoped and dreamed for was right before my eyes. Everything was perfect on our wedding day. She kept the day flowing and on time and made the day perfect in every way. Luanna is hands down the woman you want creating the wedding of your dreams. She treated us like family and that made the experience even more special and exciting for our big day. Thank you Luanna from the bottom of my heart for making every aspect of our wedding dreams come true! It is truly a day that will never be forgotten and will be talked about forever. read more

Just got married 2-4-14 and Luanna helped us plan our sunset beach wedding. I'm so glad Jonilee @ Marathon Travel gave me Luanna's name for wedding coordinator! She said she came highly recommended. She was right! It's hard to know where to go; who to choose for this very special event. I saw so many names on the internet for wedding coordinators! Luanna was great! She was easy to talk to and get a hold of by phone and/or email. We wanted a simple wedding and try to keep the cost down and she was very accommodating. She was very helpful with us choosing a beach location on the south side for our wedding. She even took us to look @ a few beaches to be sure which one before the wedding. The wedding turned out great thanks to Luanna's attentiveness! We highly recommend Luanna. Great job! :) Mahalo from Wisconsin! JB & JB read more

What can we say except Luanna is a legend! We've been planning our January 2017 wedding since we first met Luanna in November 2015 and it has been a dream. We live in Sydney Australia and Luanna's connections locally have made it so easy for us; it certainly isn't easy planning from so far away but Luanna makes it feel easy. We have regular Skype meetings and Luanna is so knowledgeable and full of great ideas, so much so that we're not even a bit stressed (we probably should be but we're so laid back because we're in such great hands). We're so looking forward to our day and the professionalism that Luanna personifies means it's all but care free. She is excellent at this, genuinely passionate and great to work with. We can't wait until January and can't recommend MWC enough! Mahalo Luanna! read more

I am very blessed to have worked with Luanna! She made my wedding a dream wedding! She really delivered under such short notice. I never came out to Maui to see my wedding venue or see what she had planned for my wedding so I really just took my chances. I planned my wedding in two months, working with Luana over the phone. I was very satisfied on my wedding day when I saw everything set up beautifully & to perfection. I went with her recommendations on the pastor,her beauty stylist & photographer and I was more than pleased!!! I would definitely recommend Luanna! read more

MWC is so great! I cannot even imagine what my wedding would have been like or if it could have been at all without using their services! Extremely knowledgeable about the entire industry, Maui, and well, everything! Very responsive! Even more so than some close friends! Such a Godsend for the toughest planning time of your life. Not one-sided or a one-trick pony either; it seems no matter what your style or preferences are, they know exactly what you mean and they just nail it! Don't risk using any other company! read more

My fiancée surprised me with a wedding proposal in Maui. The secluded beachfront location, "will you marry me" inscribed in shells/flowers and the champagne toast made it the single most romantic/happy moment in my life. It turns out that Luana was behind all the planning and orchestrating of this very special experience. Not only was she super friendly and accommodating but she also had such wonderful taste. If you're looking for a unique, romantic and breathtaking proposal, Luana is the one to call! read more
