He made multiple trips to the venue ahead of time to review the location and details. He was very accommodating to all my requests including an unexpected last minute change. He was very friendly, flexible, and easy to work with. We had multiple calls leading up to my wedding to discuss all the elements and Mike did a great job hosting all the entrances, bouquet toss, planned dances, etc. He also did a great job playing all the songs I requested. Because of his careful attention to detail everything went off without a hitch. I highly recommend him and would definitely use him again! If you are having a wedding or event in Kauai go with Mike, you won't be disappointed.

I had a wonderful experience working with Kaia and designing my husband's 50th birthday…read morecelebration. Juggling all the different pieces was difficult for me from afar, and Kaia was able to streamline and simplify, ask questions to clarify, and was clearly very strong at coordinating a lot of moving pieces. We wired a slack guitarist, Paul, who was so sweet and totally knowledgeable around the history of music on the islands which my husband and guests loved. While he claimed to be back ground music which could be totally fine for another party, we so enjoyed giving him our attention as it was just so pleasant while we enjoyed our cocktails and settled into the groove of the night (We hired White Ginger for catering, also recommended!) The one fire dancer, 2 drummers and 2 dancers performances went off without a glitch, and the performers were gratefully adaptable to the space, as the rain and winds were a bit tough, so they had to move creatively within the space, which they did, with grandeur and integrity. I was so pleased, and have every reason to put my fingers together for another manifestation for friends and family! We were an intimate group of 6 adults and 1 fire dancing loving child, and it was all just right (even if we wished others were lucky enough to be in attendance - they would have been a great combo for a 20 person or more party easily!)

Mike was very responsive to my inquiry and all of my questions.

Mike was great to work with and he made sure the evening flowed smoothly and on time, so we didn't have to worry about a thing. All of our guests had a wonderful time. Kudos to you, Mike. It was truly a memorable night! Mahalo from the bottom of my heart.

Few years ago when my dad passed away, it was a bit overwhelming trying to figure out all the important vendors to book to make your day as organized as possible. Knowing that we'll need to capture and remember those moments spent with family and friends, picture taking can be a handful when done by yourself or relying on other people's cellphones. Mel was referred me through a family member. I got his contact info and called him immediately. If I can remember correctly, he responded that same day. We spoke quickly over the phone getting a quick consultation of his service, what my family has coming up, dates and venues involved. Once the date was secured, Mel gave me his website to make a safe online payment. Mel showed up to the church, took many pictures that included series of events during the mass service, also family shots throughout the cemetery grounds. Once lunch was served for guests, he quickly developed a CD to download on a computer/laptop or can easily print out photos at any store. I really appreciate his hard work that this time around I gave him a call a month ago seeing if he still offers photography for my grandpa's funeral. Shot him a message and started to correspond through phone and email to book another date. Because of covid, funerals were limited to so many in attendance, and to simplify the services, my family booked him for just a few hours of photo shooting. Mel was quick at getting back to any inquiries and concerns that came up. Again, he is extremely good at what he does and very accommodating and patient with my family's request, which was really to just get those important shots we wanted for our keepsake. Within 48 hours, he shot me the link to his website with password included for all my family members to easily download any or all pictures taken at this past weekends gathering. Not only he do the job, he understands what a family goes through and shows compassion to my family members as he can relate to the loss of someone near and dear in his family. I see how he puts his best foot forward and makes himself available during these occasions. From conversation, I also learned he's also a mobile DJ for graduation parties, weddings, etc!

The staff at Aloha Wedding experience was professional and really listened to what we wanted to create for our special day. The tradition of Hawaii is beautiful and Bonni made sure we knew what the local traditions were and incorporated them into our wedding. The day felt sacred and we felt like were were a part of the culture with the food, flowers and all of the lessons we received about the land.

I don't eat meat so I didn't try all the dishes, but I can say the poke they served was excellent. We ordered heavy appetizers for 40 guests and had our fair share of leftovers after the event. They dropped off the food and we did the clean-up. Everything with the order and delivery went smoothly.

Lisa was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning and it felt like we were planning our wedding with a trusted friend rather than a standard wedding planner. Lisa is warm, patient, a great listener, and we could tell that she is passionate in making our dream wedding come to life. We scheduled regular calls as it got closer to our wedding date to ensure that all the details were meticulously planned and executed as discussed. She went above and beyond by letting us ship wedding supplies to her home as the wedding date approached so that we did not have to pack everything into our luggage. She is also knowledgeable and well-connected to vendors within Kauai and she recommended a handful of vendors who matched our vision, communication style, and general vibe of our wedding. We selected our florist, photographer, officiant/live musician, DJ/Emcee, hair/makeup artist based on her positive experience working with them. She worked with us and the vendors to schedule meet and greets, food/beverage tasting to curate the menu at 1Hotel, and trials with our hair/make up artist, and photographer to ensure that our wedding day went smoothly. Lisa was calm and supportive on the day of our wedding and took charge of the vendors so we could truly be present with our guests. She helped us pivot when the wind picked up before the ceremony to ensure that our decor did not fly away. She also helped us stay in time with the music during the processional and helped me down the grassy hill to the aisle when my veil got stuck. Overall, we had a fantastic time at our wedding and we still dream about how beautiful and fun the whole day was. All our friends had a wonderful time and one of the couples even returned to 1Hotel for their babymoon a few months later! Thank you Lisa for everything you did for us and we hope to see you again someday! To anyone who is considering Lisa as your wedding planner, go for it - she'll take care of you.

Our wedding day was perfect in every way and we have such warmth and fond memories from our special day that we will treasure for a lifetime! Lisa worked with us about 4 months out from our ~20 person wedding at the 1 Hotel and was an absolute dream to work with. Being based in NYC and never having visited Kauai until our wedding week, Lisa was our sounding board for choosing vendors (officiant, florals, music, make-up, video, photo, steam/pressing), was conscious of the time zones and never made us feel rushed, and kept us on track without being overbearing about decisions that we needed to make up until the very end. She really brought our vision to life, always filling in gaps as needed (candles, placecards, baskets for our flower people), and finding a new videographer when our initial choice fell through. Everyone that came to our wedding wants to go back to Kauai and the 1 Hotel to relive the day. We can't recommend Lisa enough! Thank you, Lisa, for everything. Alex and I had been together for 13 years before our wedding day, and this day exceeded all of our expectations about what a wedding could be. We are beyond grateful.
