Michelle came highly recommended by a very good friend of mine who is also in the wedding/event planning business and I couldn't have been happier with the result.

I'm a local girl, born and raised on Maui but I live in the Bay Area, so in reality, our wedding was a destination wedding and there were so many details to consider. While I was able to plan most of it myself, I didn't have anyone to help me coordinate w/vendors back home or handle day of preparation and execution. Having someone like Michelle, who knew the island, the way vendors work and who has planned many weddings back on Maui, I knew she'd be the perfect person to help make our wedding day the best day of my life.

Michelle was extremely personable, organized, detailed, timely, and managed our wedding to a T. She just got me and my local ways and asked all of the questions I had not even begun to think of. I trusted her with the details and she brought our day to life. I couldn't have imagined have a more beautiful wedding day and Michelle and her team helped make that a reality. I highly recommend Michelle for any wedding or event planning needs you may have.

Mahalo Michelle!

We hired Michelle in 2010 to be our Wedding Planner for our May 2011 wedding. Before hiring Michelle, we were on the fence on if we were going to budget for a planner at all. But with a long distance relationship, work, families, activities, and numerous other factors, we felt that it would be a good investment in the long run...and it was definitely a good investment.

For all future brides and grooms, I would highly recommend a planner, especially Michelle, if they know that they cannot devote a large amount of time to their wedding planning. Michelle listened to our ideas for the wedding, provided us with the appropriate vendors (within our budget and in accordance with our theme and look), accompanied us to various vendor and site meetings, and provided us with a day of timeline (among other completed tasks). On the day of, the wedding and reception turned out completely beautiful and exactly (if not more) than what we expected.

Thank you MB for making ShirlijahLand a reality.

When we first sat down to meet with Michelle we knew she was the one we wanted to work with on our wedding! Right off the bat, she started coming up with fun creative ideas that made us even more excited about our wedding than we already were. Michelle really took the time to understand who we are and what we wanted for our wedding day. We were impressed that she had close working relationships with our vendor wish list and in some cases even good friends with many of our vendors. Throughout the whole planning experience, we came to appreciate the relationships that Michelle has developed in the wedding community. The benefits that comes from a planner who is as trusted as Michelle is immeasurable. However, the best thing about Michelle is that you get a planner and designer giving you sound feedback and advice as any good friend would. When the wedding day came, we were stress free because she had everything covered in a very clear and thorough itinerary. All we had to do was be a guest at our wedding and it was truly the BEST day ever! We had so many compliments on the wedding – from the food to the décor to the entertainment, our guests appreciated all the little details. Some guest even told us that it was the best wedding they have ever attended! All of this is a testament to Michelle, because of her keen design eye and her expertise to help pull it all together, we had a beautiful wedding day and made a great friend in the process.
