5 Stars - Lori and Her Team EXCEEDED expectations…read more We had the pleasure of working with Lori at Topical Maui Weddings for our February wedding in Maui, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From our first consultation to the big day, they went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The attention to detail was impeccable. As a local bride, Lori's on island connections were truly unmatched. We had the best vendor recommendations and she always secured us the best prices. As a type A bride we met with multiple wedding planners before selecting Tropical Maui Weddings and her fair pricing along side her excellent connections and recommendations made his decision a no-brainer. They helped us secure the perfect venue for our reception a buy out at Gather on Maui, coordinated and managed all our vendors, and made sure everything ran smoothly, so we could focus on enjoying the moment. I walked into the venue on wedding day and was blown away by the work that went into making this the MOST beautiful day. The team was incredibly professional and truly understood our vision. Everything was handled I didn't even think twice. What stood out most was their ability to blend our personal touches with the breathtaking natural beauty of Maui. Our ceremony was at our family church which is not typical of what you think of when you think of Maui wedding and Lori and her team executed it flawless, even starting 2 minutes early! The ceremony was exactly what we had dreamed of--intimate, romantic, and seamless. The cherry on top of Tropical Maui Weddings is Jamie Lawrence. His musicality and performance captured the hearts of our guests. I still am getting texts about how special our cocktail hour and father daughter/mother son dance was. YOU NEED HIM TO PLAY AT YOUR WEDDING. If you're planning a wedding in Maui, I highly recommend Tropical Maui Weddings for their creativity, expertise, and genuine care for making your day unforgettable!

Lori and her team at Tropical Maui Weddings exceeded all our expectations and made our wedding day…read moretruly magical and stress-free! This review is embarrassingly overdue, as we have just celebrated our 3rd anniversary. But I can still say that the service we got from Lori and her team were excellent. Lori has a time tested process for gathering information for all her weddings, and the planning and organization of all aspects leading up to the event were great. There were a million decisions we had to make while planning our wedding, and Lori guided us through this process all the way through- flowers, tables and chairs, music, food, drinks, wardrobe, makeup, etc. etc. And once the day arrived, Lori and team were on-site from dawn to dusk, ensuring that the plan we so carefully prepared was executed flawlessly. Her goal is for the wedding couple to enjoy their day, without having to lift a finger and to be completely stress-free. I think we appreciated that the most (especially after seeing how stressed many of our friends were at their own weddings because they didn't have Lori!) Only after our wedding did we discover from our guests how much work was done behind the scenes- such as a guest breaking a glass on the beach, the wrong type of table being delivered to our site in the morning, lights not having been hung correctly. I may never know the full extent of that work, but I do know that Lori's team took care of it. So to recap- if you're wondering whether to hire Tropical Maui Weddings for your wedding, or even if it's worth hiring a wedding planner at all, I would say yes to both! You will absolutely not regret it.

After our beautiful wedding here on Maui we wanted to make sure we left an amazing review for Kim…read morewith Island Wedding Memories! From day one, Kim has been the absolute BEST!! Kim was beyond phenomenal with all our wedding planning needs! She held Zoom meetings with us, traveled to our venue to help with our vision for our wedding, was always excellent in communicating with us, extremely organized, and took so much stress off our plate! As crazy as it sounds, our wedding venue actually canceled on us just over 2 weeks before our wedding date after a year of planning! Kim was on it though, and was able to help us plan a new wedding in just two weeks! She scrambled and worked diligently to do everything she could, to help us still move forward with our wedding, keep and support all our local vendors (14 different local vendors), and most importantly, keep our same wedding date. Kim handled all the hard discussions with our vendors with relocating and all the adjustments with our guests, so flawlessly! She always listened to our needs and plans but also offered suggestions and advice that we did not think of or considered.  She has many contacts throughout the island and is very trustworthy.  She shared documents, kept us on track with planning, and she was an absolute life saver the day of the wedding.  Her colleague, Nathan, came through in the clutch for us as well on our wedding day with lots of extra setup and arrangements that we added last minute.   They made everything easy for us and worry-free even after the wedding when we were exhausted! We loved our special day! With much thanks to Kim & Nathan, they also delivered "the best wedding ever" according to all of our guests!! They are still texting us weeks later! We could not have made this happen without Kim and Nathan!!! BIG & MANY Mahalos to Kim and Nathan for guiding us on our wedding journey and helping bring our beautiful wedding to life despite so many obstacles!

I started planning last august and basically finished planning everything by December. Everything was done via email and phone. Just like any bride I was very excited and nervous that I couldn't go visit the venue or see flowers etc in person. But Deanne talked me through everything!! She was super patient and kind...I was in bridezilla mode almost due to not being able to see things in person but she made it so easy to plan everything virtually. When we celebrate our anniversary we will definitely reach out to Deanne again. Deanne was recommended to me by a coworker who also utilized their services.

I'm a no-nonsense girl. I have seen too many weddings in my lifetime that the bride was a complete…read morenightmare. I didn't want to be that girl. At first my husband and I were just going to elope -- but didn't want to deal with the backlash of family members attempting to kill us when we got home. So now we have to get some "plan" together here since we now have guests! Now you would think we looked to Yelp to find one-stop-shopping for our wedding, but we didn't. I picked it based on how good the website was arranged. Yes, that's right ... I basically picked a website that looked *together* and basically looked, well .... pretty. Pretty pictures and cursive writing accompanied with easy page navigation. That's how I roll. Deanne sent us information and we picked our package. There was an a-la-carte menu to have additional things added, like releasing white doves or butterflies. (We decided to opt-out of releasing random insects or birds since we don't know what the repercussions are to the environment, and with our luck they would be hit by a car or sucked into the ocean, and of course we are so morbid ~ our laughter might be met by evil stares from onlookers.) Deanne was awesome! I wanted someone to have it all together for us, and we would simply show up -- and that's how it went down folks. No fuss, no confusion, no problems. If there were any, we didn't know about it. All of our communication was via email and then by phone when we got to the island, and we met her when we arrived in the parking lot of the beach we were getting married on. I only had two requests, the date and time, and I had to have a specific lei. Deanne delivered! We took a shuttle down to the beach, and when the door opened, I felt like I was met with paparazzi. Who's this guy taking pictures? Oh, that's our camera guy? Sweet! Deanne came and gave me a big hug, and I looked over at our minster, I realized he wasn't the one that she said was performing our service. Should I be worried? Nope! This guy was amazing! He did a traditional Hawaiian wedding and even blew the conch shell during our ceremony. Deanne, thank you so much for making our wedding day with friends and family awesome and totally stress free!

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.

With so many moving parts and details, no wedding is perfect, however, Veronica made the process efficient, organized, and most of all fun ensuring that our wedding day was as close to perfect as possible. For anyone looking to plan their wedding, Veronica was always extremely friendly and helpful with all of our ideas and requests during planning. She was highly experienced and ensured that we didn't miss any important details while also allowing us room to be creative and get involved with the process as much or as little as we wished. Every step of the way Veronica was so knowledgeable and easy going, it really turned what is normally a stressful process into an enjoyable journey and we are so grateful for all her hard work! We definitely highly recommend Your Aloha Wedding Company to any couples looking for a planner in Maui. They are so easy to communicate with, detailed oriented, experienced, well connected with vendors, and of course a absolute pleasure to work with! -Oliver & Angela

Kylie was great and had us all on track with what we were supposed to do, she was a delight. Our officiant, Kuya made the whole thing meaningful yet lighthearted and comfortable. He was someone who will stick with me, just a great man. The ukulele player and Hulu dancer were a perfect compliment to our ceremony & mini celebration. Our photographer did a phenomenal job at making the pictures easy and comfortable, not an easy job! We loved her and can't wait to see her work from our day. My hair and makeup artist, Shelby from Simply Beauty Maui was amazing! She was there early and got me finished exactly on our time schedule. I'm a hairstylist myself and was concerned I would be too picky but she did such a beautiful job, I didn't change a thing. Every single person that we worked with from Simple Maui Wedding's has been 5 stars for professionalism, friendliness and just great at what they do. I would highly recommend your company to anyone considering a destination wedding. John and Jenifer Boese

We decided to add a wedding to our already-planned holiday, and so only had about 2 months to plan....no problem! This is clearly what this company is built for. 1. The officiant [Joe!] they selected for our non-religious, Hawaiian, spiritual service....he was perfect and brought exactly the vibe we were looking for. 2. Karma photography was fantastic! She captured so many great shots, and was flexible when we wanted to move down the beach to change-up the background. She spent the time she needed to get the shots, and we will be forever grateful. 3. The flowers were gorgeous! We did leis for everyone, a masculine green lei for the groom and white flowers for my bouquet 4. Everyone at Simple Maui Wedding was friendly, great communicators and made you feel special and welcomed. We were a tiny little group - 6 of us total - and we felt just as taken care of as a large wedding party. Highly recommend Simple Maui Wedding if you are getting married on Maui!

We did a destination wedding from Florida and we were able to meet her in person at our venue before we secured it. Leading up to the wedding, Maui had one of the biggest Kona low's the island had ever seen and two days before we redesigned the wedding to bring it inside. She had great ideas on upgrades, checked that the additions were cohesive, and made sure we didn't lose out on much. In addition, on the day of if something wasn't going completely to plan me and my husband had no idea. Her team managed the day of with the highest level of professionalism.

Jacqueline was OUTSTANDING at every point in the process. She met with us a number of times over Zoom to plan our approach and ensured we had many options to choose from. The resulting wedding was absolutely beyond belief. The whole day felt like a dream. 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 can't say enough about Hawaii Destination Premier...amazing customer service and fantastic ability to make us feel so well taken care of throughout every event we engaged in. Thank you!
