  Best wedding planners EVER

  I would 1,000,000% recommend using Tropical Maui Weddings for so many reasons. Everyone that we worked with was fabulous, Sherron was absolutely amazing, and I can confidently say our day would not have been as special (or maybe wouldn't have happened!) without her. We had a whirlwind of a wedding story, and not one like your average because almost anything that could go wrong leading up to the big day - did. I'm sure Sherron can attest to the countless mishaps that happened to us along the way (nothing to do with Tropical Maui Weddings), but holy cow did Sherron step up and help us in so many ways. She made my husband and I feel like family, she put us at ease when something tragic happened to us the night before the wedding and she helped take the stress off of us the day of. She was up late with us the night before and was up early with us the morning of to make sure that everything went smoothly. Again, I could not sing higher praises for this team. Thank you so much Tropical Maui Weddings, we will forever be grateful for you.

  Best day ever with TMW!

  Having Sherron, Jamie, Lori and everyone at Tropical Maui Wedding help plan/ coordinate our wedding was the BEST decision we made for this entire wedding! They always went above and beyond every request and expectation we had.
  
  We didn’t even get around to shop for different wedding planners because Sherron was just
  that good! Being the first and only one we talked to and we knew already we didn’t need to look no further. We worked with Sherron for 2 1/2 years due to COVID but we never had a question or concern they couldn’t address. At each step of the way Sherron made sure it was in our best interest. She helped me narrow down my million mismatched ideas into a dream vision. Her response and problem solving skills were also lightening fast!
  
  Hands down I would recommend any family and friends that are looking to get married in Maui to work with Tropical Maui Wedding. I can’t wait to plan my vow renewals with them!!!!

  If you’re even thinking of getting married on Maui, save yourself some time and talk to Lori and the team at Tropical Maui Weddings right away!

  Lori and her team are pros when it comes to helping you plan your special day and are experts when it comes to all things Maui. Not to mention, they are some of the most kind and genuine people you will ever meet.
  
  We had our wedding on Maui in June of 2021 and are long overdue to write this glowing review for the TMW team.
  
  When we decided to get married on Maui, the thought of planning a wedding from the mainland was a bit overwhelming and we didn’t know where to start. That is, until we met Lori! From securing our date, to selecting a venue, Tropical Maui Weddings made the process a breeze.
  
  They put together a great proposal of vendors to choose from with reasonable prices for each. There are so many things you don’t think about when starting to plan a destination wedding and they had that covered too. They get preferred pricing with all of the top vendors so you are already saving money. Everything felt reasonable and they gave great advice on where we could save and where we could upgrade. Other wedding planners are all about the money and will give you a cookie cutter proposal, not TMW! They will put together a custom plan based on your idea for your special day. You quickly realize the cost of paying for TMW is 1000% worth it.
  
  Lori and the team were super organized and helped keep us on track to make sure our wedding was planned well in advance. They were super communicative, and always responded back to us in a timely manner. When it comes to your wedding day you won’t have to worry about a thing if you hire TMW as your wedding planners! They make sure everything goes according to plan, that it all looks beautiful, and will go above and beyond to make your day special.
  
  Our wedding was originally planned for June of 2020. Of course, that all changed with the onset of the pandemic. With all of the stress around having to move our wedding after sending invitations, and not knowing when things would go back to normal, the TMW team was there every step of the way. They worked with us to make sure that when our wedding was rescheduled, it would be the best day ever. Lori and team were comforting and made moving everything easy with so much patience along the way.
  
  When our day finally came, it was truly perfect and couldn’t have been better! TMW exceeded our expectations and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We were able to be in the moment and enjoy every second of it! – This is so important because it goes by quick.
  
  Lori, her husband Jamie, their daughters Sherron and Chloe, and the rest of their team were there cheering us on and making sure everything was perfect. Jamie is also an amazing musician who we had perform at our wedding along with the talented Derick Sebastian and our awesome DJ.
  
  We can’t say enough about how special they made us feel and how perfect our wedding day was. We still receive so many compliments on our wedding from friends and family and this is all thanks to Tropical Maui Weddings!
  
  Hiring TMW was truly the best decision we could have made. Do yourself a favor and hire Tropical Maui Weddings to plan your wedding day in Maui! You will feel like celebrities with this team behind you! It’s no wonder why they win so many awards!
  
  We will always cherish our best day ever thanks to Lori and her team. Thank you, Tropical Maui Weddings!

  Get Maui'd with TMW!

  I have always believed God places people in our lives at very specific times and for very specific reasons. He did this when he placed my husband, Justin, in my life over 4 years ago. He proved Himself again when he blessed me with Sherron, Lori and Jamie of Tropical Maui Weddings.
  
  I was never the girl that put a lot of thought into my wedding years before it actually happened. Planning a Hawaiian wedding from Texas seemed completely overwhelming. Luckily, my mother came across the TMW website and was surprised to see a message written from her favorite author, Lavyrle Spencer. She is a close friend of the owners, Jamie & Lori Lawrence, and in the message describes Jamie's beautiful singing voice. Of course, my mother looked him up. She was so impressed she immediately sent me a link. I drove in tears as I listened to Jamie sing Bonnie Rait's "Feels Like Home". This song was perfect and I was immediately smitten. I filled out the online form as soon as I got home that Friday afternoon.
  
  Sunday, I received a call from "Makawao, HI". I spent the next hour talking to what felt like a long lost friend. Her name was Lori Lawrence of TMW and our connection was immediate. I had spoken with other planners and always felt less than inspired. Lori understood where I was in life and eased every worry. I got off the phone that day and Justin asked who I had been talking to because he could have sworn it was a girlfriend from college.
  
  By the end of July I had no less than 10 emails from Lori each with a different vendor category in the subject. The emails were filled with options, packages and pricing details for each. I love that Lori provided all the information without trying to sway my opinion. She allowed me to ask questions and would provide honest feedback. I knew with her many years of experience that she would never lead me down the wrong path. Our comfort with the decision to hire TMW was further solidified after traveling to meet the team in person. My mother and I bonded with them so much during that trip we felt as if we were leaving family upon our return to Texas.
  
  The months leading up to the wedding are full of decisions, but Lori is with you every step of the way. We wanted the destination experience, but didn't want to forgo decorative touches that seemed impossible. Once again, Lori has that covered. She has a super secret room in her home that is FULL of frames, candles, signs, easels, place card holders, fans....etc. All of this is included in TMW services. It allows you to have a perfectly curated wedding that matches your personality. Leaving the coordination to anyone else would have caused me great stress, but knowing Lori was on the job allowed me to send some inspiration photos, reply to her emails and relax.
  
  I can honestly say my biggest concern the week before the big day was what to pack for 2 weeks in HI and not the wedding itself. I had full confidence in the TMW team and they pulled off the most beautiful, special, fun-filled day. Jamie impressed everyone with his beautiful voice. Sherron and Lori made everything flow seamlessly. All Justin and I had to worry about was enjoying the time with our guests.
  
  I've delayed writing this review because I wasn't quite sure how I could describe TMW in a way that conveyed how wonderful they are. If you are planning a Maui wedding, I beg you to consider TMW. They will create for you the most beautiful, stree-free Best Day Ever.

  Best experience ever!

  After deciding that a destination wedding was the right fit for my (now to be) husband and myself, we started to research wedding coordinators on the island. This was a must as I knew it would be a very difficult task to do on my own. Our first interview was with Lori Lawrence from Tropical Maui Weddings. After spending more than an hour with her on the phone (as we live in MN), we knew she was THE ONE for us! Her personality was radiant and she offered us a sense of ease as we moved forward with the wedding planning process.
  Lori listened to our vision, and made sure that each detail was meticulously followed through. She offered guidance upon decision making, and because she lives on the island and works with many of the vendors on a weekly basis, was able to give us her opinion when needed. Lori kept our budget in mind the whole time, and was a GOD SEND! Upon meeting her in Hawaii, we knew then that we couldn’t have made our dream wedding come alive without her and the TROPICAL MAUI WEDDINGS team.
  They truly treat your like family and made not only the wedding planning process a breeze, but the day itself. We are incredibly grateful to have met her and TMW. LOOK NO FURTHER! You’ve got the complete package here with TMW!

  Incredible!! I would do it again in every lifetime

  This was one of the best decisions I’ve EVER made in my life to have Lori plan my dream Maui wedding day!!! No question, this is who you must go with for your wedding if you want perfection, fantasy, magic, romance and love on your big day ❤️ It was such any easy breezy process planning every single little and big detail and my husband and I had the best time planning. I hear couples get stressed during planning and argue... well that was the furtherst thing from our experience and I credit that 100% percent to Tropical Maui Weddings and their process of planning. I had zero stress, I only look back with smiles and thankfulness in my heart. It was a wonderful year of going to the drawing board and having Lori and her team create the most epic day I may ever have! Even more, our wedding day was perfect!! Everything was perfect!! Don’t even bother looking anywhere else. No one can compare.
  
  Thank you for everything! I’ve died and gone to heaven having Tropical Maui Weddings make my wedding dreams come true✨🌺😭😍

  Lori & Team = PERFECT Wedding

  Lori was 100% the BEST money we spent related to our money. The whole process was stemless and the stress level on us was practically 0 since we knew she had everything taken care of. After attending other friends weddings we can say without a doubt, hiring Lori as your wedding planner will be the best decision you make! Thank you!

  The easiest and best wedding planning decision!

  If you are looking for a wedding planner in Maui, look no further!
  The TMW team were amazing to work with since day one.
  My initial call with Lori was all it took to know that she was genuine person with a passion for her career and the TMW team would be able to turn my dream wedding into reality!
  
  We planned our wedding from San Diego in less than 9 months with their help and direction.
  Wedding planning will always be stressful (especially if you're like me and really strive to perfect every detail and ensure your guests have the best time) but the TMW team will definitely ease that stress and guide you throughout the process. Her positivity and energy was amazing throughout - especially when a hurricane was set to hit the week of our wedding! She remained calm and collect which eased our anxiety tremendously!
  
  Lori and Jamie went above and beyond our expectations and many guests commented on how smooth the day went. She has a storage unit that is every pinterest bride's dream (check out the corn hole we left)! We got married at a private residence in Olowalu and Jamie was kind enough to shuttle the bridal party to the venue from where we were getting ready. Not to mention Jamie managed the property my family was staying at as well as our wedding venue property. And, he was our singer for the cocktail hour! They are truly a wedding dream team and probably the best decision we made (aside from getting married)! Lori worked with us and our budget to ensure the day was exactly as we envisioned it. I have nothing but praises to sing about TMW and wish we could do it all over again!
  
  She recommended an amazing team of vendors that did also not disappoint!

  Big thanks to Tropical Maui Weddings. We had the best day ever!

  If you're looking for a destination wedding planner in Maui, HI, look no further! Everything was perfect, the day went seamlessly, my husband and I definitely had the "BEST DAY EVER"! Lori and her team at (Tropical Maui Weddings) helped with every little detail and more. I live in San Diego, CA so having an experienced team on my side based in Maui eased my worries. The whole Tropical Maui Wedding team went above and beyond our expectations. Our Venue at Olowalu plantation House was the perfect location with the most amazing sunset. The makeup artists, transportation, food, live music, DJ, etc. was more than we could have asked for and the vendors were all suggested by our planners. All the vendors stuck to the timeline and the night went on without any issues. I've already told my husband we are renewing our Vows in 10 years, in the same spot, with the same wedding planner and vendors. 10 Stars all the way! Aloha!

  This is a special thanks to Lori and her husband Jamie at Tropical Maui Weddings. They were the most genuine people I have ever met. They were organized, thoughtful, helpful, non- pushy professionals! Our wedding was relaxing and stress-free. They gifted my husband and I special lighting for our wedding because they felt it would make the ocean seem magical for an evening wedding, and it did! They also had a video drone at the wedding that was a wonderful surprise to my husband and I.
  All my vendor options were presented very simply in organized emails which made my decisions making easy. We had just enough of the best options for vendors on the island. When we had questions about any of the vendors Lori gave me her true opinion which helped with the decision making. Lori has complete faith in everyone she recommends which puts your mind at ease. I had a few changes that needed to be made a few days before the wedding and Lori was cool as a cucumber and made them happen. Lori kept us on budget and was spot on with her quote.
  We had a small issue with nature (bees) at the venue early in the day before the wedding and Lori and Olowalu got professionals out right away and took care of the issue.
  Overall, planning was easy, Lori and Jamie are the sweetest and the wedding was everything I always dreamed of.
  
  Mahalo!

  In short: If there is one vendor you book now, book Tropical Maui Weddings with Lori Lawrence. All the other reviews were right, Lori really did think of everything. She is very professional and has such a charming personality!
  
  Long review:
  Pre-wedding - We had about a handful of calls directly with Lori during our 5 months of planning and a gazillion of emails. Lori or her assistant, Jackie, was very responsive. We never feel neglected at any point. As our wedding was towards the end of summer in September, it seems that Lori was busy with other weddings so Jackie answered all of our emails. That was not an issue at all to us because Jackie was on point and when we arrive in Hawaii, Lori knew every single little detail that we've discussed with Jackie. For brides currently at this stage, don't be afraid at all, this happens because Lori gives you her full attention on your wedding and really takes care of everything.
  
  Vendor relationship - Lori has wonderful relationship with all the vendors and that really shows during our wedding day where everything just went perfectly. Lori give us 3-5 choices for each wedding vendor (e.g., photographer) and was able to recommend who will fit our personality/style best. As skeptical San Franciscans, we were at first unsure because she had such strong recommendations on some of the vendors but decided to go with it because they're all within our budget - i have no regret at all.
  
  Wedding week - Wow. Just wow, this is where Lori shines. From the day we landed to Hawaii to our wedding day to post-wedding, she gives us 5-star wedding planning service. My husband and I had so much free time before our wedding because she makes us feel at ease. On the day of our wedding, we had a wedding that can easily go on pinterest, everything is so beautiful all thanks to Lori. Our guests came up to us to complement Lori during and weeks after our wedding. Thank you Lori for helping us plan one of the most beautiful day of our lives.

  Thanks to Lori and Jamie, at Maui Tropical Weddings, my husband and I had a completely stress-free, incredibly spiritual, romantic and fun, perfect wedding, that was like something out of a story book!!!
  My husband and I got married in Maui in July this year. It was like a dream wedding. I can't imagine any way in which our wedding could have been more special. Here we are, living in California. Neither one of us had ever been to Hawaii. I found Lori and Jamie on line, and read the reviews. Lori arranged everything. She was “boots on the ground” in Hawaii, and believe me, she knows everything there is to know about arranging a Hawaiian wedding that you will never, ever forget.
  Not only did we have the perfect pastor and photographer, but Lori's husband Jamie sang at our wedding, and made it incredibly beautiful and memorable. He has the voice of an Angel. Seriously.
  From the time we arrived in Maui, she had everything worked out as smooth as silk, with a complete itinerary and instructions on what we should do. We got our wedding license and even had my dress steamed and his suit pressed with instructions on how that should be carried out. Zero stress and nothing but fun and pure enjoyment.
  Lori arranged a tailor made venue for us. We were married on a deserted beach (Ironwoods) as the sun was setting, and the sky was bright with color. We even had a rainbow over our heads as we said our vows. Lori found us the perfect restaurant within 5 minutes from the ceremony. This was one of the best days of our lives.
  On top of all that, they work within your budget, and try to get you everything you want at a price you can afford. Tropical Maui weddings was worth every penny spent. We are so grateful to Jamie and Lori for their time and care spent to make our day flawless.
  Look no further if you want a perfect Maui wedding experience!
  
  Deb and Ken

  WOW! Both my husband and I could not thank both Lori and Jamie enough for helping to create the most magical day of our lives. We are from NYC, and planning a destination wedding was very stressful given we have never been to Hawaii. However, from the first time I spoke with Lori she assured me everything would be perfect, and she was right!
  
  We booked the wedding at Olowalu Plantation House. Lori was very attentive and helpful in guiding me to choose certain vendors. She would always respond in a timeline manner and make sure I knew I was being heard.
  
  We then met with both Lori and Jamie 3 days before the wedding when we arrived on Maui. They were both so welcoming and made us feel so comfortable and confident with all of our choices. The Wedding day could not have been more perfect and went on without a hitch. All of the guests raved about everything from the food to the flowers and lounge furniture. My father runs a catering business in NJ, and from a critical eye, he was amazed at everything they did and thought the entire night was flawless. I could not be happier that I chose to work with Tropical Maui Weddings as they helped to create the best day in our lives that we will remember forever!

  Lori and Jamie Lawrence are awesome! Lori was so fast to respond to all my emails before the wedding. Then the day of the wedding she made sure everything went perfect. Jamie did an amazing job singing and playing the guitar during the first half of our wedding. Our wedding was perfect, Lori thought of everything and she gave the best recommendations for everything! The Olowalu plantation house is the perfect venue! Defiantly would recommend them both!!:)

  My husband and I can't thank Lori and Jamie enough for the wonderful job they did in planning our wedding! Having been to Maui several times before, my husband and I knew we wanted to get married there. We were fortunate enough to take a scouting trip to Maui about 7 months before our wedding and got to meet with Lori and Jamie beforehand. They were so helpful and Lori made several appointments for us while we were in Maui to do cake tastings, food tastings, venue appointments, and meeting with photographers etc. Throughout the planning process, Lori was always available to have a call or respond to an email whenever we had any questions. We arrived to Maui about 5 days before our wedding, and everyone kept asking me if I was nervous or stressed, but for the most part I wasn't. I felt like maybe I should be stressed out, but honestly I was pretty calm in the days leading up to the wedding. Lori took care of everything so I didn't have to worry about the details of the wedding day itself. And our wedding was absolutely beautiful! Lori did a wonderful job coordinating with all of our vendors and she really captured my vision even better than I could have imagined! The day really did go by in a blur, and my husband and I really got to just relax and have fun with our guests. We didn't have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day, and I can't thank Lori enough for that! Also, we were very lucky to have her husband, Jamie, sing at our wedding. Everyone really loved this touch and said what a wonderful job he did. We ended up buying a few of his CDs that Jamie signed for us that we gave to our parents as a fun little memento from our wedding. I definitely recommend both Lori and Jamie for your wedding planning, they are definitely worth it!

  I can't even begin to express my sincere appreciation for Lori and Jamie Lawrence of Tropical Maui weddings. My husband says that it was worth every penny, and I can assure you that it was.:)
  
  We are from the Chicagoland area, so it would have been incredibly difficult to put everything together without some help directly in Maui, so I started my search. I noticed several rave reviews on Yelp for TMW, so I reached directly out to one of the brides who also had her wedding at Olowalu Plantation house, and she couldn't have had more wonderful things to say about her experience, so I took a leap of faith and contacted Lori, and I truly couldn't been more pleased with having made that decision. It turns out that she is a super organized ex-grade school teacher from the midwest turned wedding planner once she met the love of her life in Maui while on vacation. I'm pretty sure that her story alone sold me.:) But what also made a big difference to me is that she just charged a flat fee instead of being percentage based like I had heard that a lot of other coordinators were, and I felt a lot more comfortable with that scenario. After having spoken with us, she gave us a list of vendors that she's worked with in the past and has had success with, and we went from there. From the list we chose DJ Del, Louis Hiragana Floral Design,Kirsty Sinclair with Aloha Bars Maui, Sugar Beach Bake Shop, Jamie Lawrence, Cafe O'Lei Catering, Pastor Kale, Ohana Films, MeiLi Autumn Beauty, and Joanna Tano Photography. I truly could not be more pleased with each and every vendor that Lori recommended. Not to mention, all of the amazing things that she does to help out herself. She is there from the very beginning of the day until the end. She is truly amazing at what she does, and I cannot thank her enough for all of her support and guidance during such a special time in our lives.

  Lori was FANTASTIC! We loved working with her, she opened her home up to us every time we came to Maui to work on wedding details! We had a vision and she made it happen, it was a romantic seaside wedding! Lori was really good about listening to our ideas and was very open to trying new things. She gave us honest opinions about vendors and help to choose what was right for our budget. Lori was professional yet maintained a sense of the aloha spirit. You can tell she really loves her job and knows what she is doing. My family loved her too!

  Lori & Jamie are probably 2 of the nicest people we have ever met. It’s not easy planning a wedding from another country, especially when you are a control freak like I am. Lori was such a calming presence and so helpful along the way. She works with some incredible vendors and will listen to what you want and offer her suggestions on who would be best based on your budget and your vision. We met Lori and Jamie at their house a few days before the wedding and we knew as soon as we met them that we couldn’t have made a better selection for our wedding coordinator. She leant us a local iphone which was beyond helpful to have as Canadians having to pay crazy data roaming fees. She made sure we were completely prepared for the day, set us up to get our marriage license, and let us borrow some décor to make our wedding day that much more beautiful. She is a complete expert and has great ideas. She met us at our ceremony site the day before the wedding to pick out the ceremony location and make sure we knew exactly what was going to happen on the day. We couldn't have been happier with Lori and she truly added to our incredible day. Thank you Lori & Jamie for all that you did for us.

She leant us a local iphone which was beyond helpful to have as Canadians having to pay crazy data roaming fees. She made sure we were completely prepared for the day, set us up to get our marriage license, and let us borrow some décor to make our wedding day that much more beautiful. She is a complete expert and has great ideas. She met us at our ceremony site the day before the wedding to pick out the ceremony location and make sure we knew exactly what was going to happen on the day. We couldn't have been happier with Lori and she truly added to our incredible day. Thank you Lori & Jamie for all that you did for us.

  I had a wonderful experience with Lori & Jaime! Everyone asked how planning a wedding from the mainland was & I told them it was my planner who put it together! I really enjoyed doing the DIY side of things but she was in contact with the vendors, presented me with options, let us choose items from her storage and was always available to chat with if I had any questions.
  
  When I initially contacted Lori, I was really just shopping around for a planner but she was so thorough on the phone during our first conversation that I knew we had to hire her! I worked for a wedding planner for years and was pretty particular about what I wanted for my big day as far as what it was going to look like and where we stood as budget was concerned. She is very responsive via e-mail and very patient with all my questions. We were in contact for a year and a half before the big day and the day went SO smoothly!! I knew I didn't have anything to worry about with her in charge... so I didn't! I would recommend Lori and Jaime to anyone headed to Maui for their big day =)

  Hire Lori for your Maui wedding!!!

  Lori is the most amazing wedding planner and it was so much fun to work with her! I highly, highly recommend her to any couple that knows what they want, or has no idea what they want.
  Lori made planning our wedding planning really fun, stress free and everything turned out 1000x better than I thought was possible! She also has this amazing wedding decor collection that saved us a lot of $ on rentals and helped with design inspiration!
  It was such a joy to work with her and her team and we are especially grateful for all of the last minute (day of) adjustments she made for our outdoor wedding when the wind picked up. She worked with our vendors to bring our vision to life in a different way in just a few hours (we had no clue this was happening!), and we loved absolutely everything!
  It was the perfect day and Lori is just such a pro - she is prepared for any situation, knows who the best (and affordable) vendors are and gives you great advice on big and small decisions.
  We are so glad that we chose to work with her and I honestly miss chatting with her and working with her already!!
  Look no further - hire Lori to plan your wedding or event!!

  In looking for someone to help coordinate our wedding in Maui, we did what I am sure most couples do, search the internet. In doing so, we came across many different options. One of the things that caught our eye was their website – tropicalmauiweddings.com. It was very informative and user friendly. During our first telephone conversation with Lori Lawrence we knew we had found the right place to help with our wedding ceremony. Lori is very down to earth and by the time we finished our conversation with her, we felt like we had been talking to an old friend. She was so warm and personable.
  
  We are a lesbian couple and were treated with the utmost of respect. We put all of trust in Tropical Maui Weddings and never once questioned their ideas, suggestions, etc. Lori and Jamie Lawrence do exceptional work and take care of so many details. They lessened the stress for us so we didn’t have to worry with all of the fine details. Jamie sang a couple of songs at our wedding and hearing his voice will just give you chills. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much Tropical Maui Weddings for all you did to make our special day so incredibly special to us. We highly recommend Tropical Maui Weddings for your destination wedding. No ceremony is too big or too small.

  I can't even begin to describe the amazing work that Lori provided for me. Lori is the most wonderful planner ever! She was very attentive to my needs and budget. Lori was very honest and always responded to me when I had questions. She has great referrals for everything you could possible need ... and then some!! I loved working with Lori and her husband Jaime- they are my new "ohana" (family) in Maui! I was fortunate enough to meet with her 3 times before my big event and she was extremely hospitable. My husband, family, and all our friends were beyond impressed with everything she did! It has been 2 months later and people are still talking about my wedding and sharing picture! Everyone had so much fun! Even when I had last minute requests and a huge increase of guests- she accommodated everything and did and awesome job. On the day of the wedding she was very attentive and I did not have to worry about anything and had the time of my life! I can't say enough about Lori- she made our day the event of the year and lifetime!

  Our Wedding was the most PERFECT day all thanks to Lori & Jamie from Tropical Maui Weddings.
  We were married at Olowalu Plantation in April with 60+ of our nearest and dearest. The most incredible thing about Lori is that she and Donna from Olowalu literally saved our wedding. Our previous planner, cancelled our wedding with less then 3 months to the date. Lori planned our entire wedding in less than 3 months. She offered up many options for Hair/Makeup, rentals, flowers etc. with many different price ranges to choose from to suit our budget. She was NEVER pushy, she was bubbly, excited, very responsive to every single detail. She helped me think of things that I didn't even have time to think about, like dress steaming and offered for us to send things in the mail since we were overseas. She made the planning stress free and I always felt like I could rely on her. Jamie planned during our Ceremony and Cocktail hour and our guests raaaved about him! Lori recommends him, not because he's her husband...but because he is an amazing artist.
  **The Extras***
  When I arrived in Maui my soon to be husbands flight was delayed and I had no way of getting all our bags to the rental house. Jamie from Tropical Maui Wedding was close by and picked them up for us. How nice is that!?!? They then lent us a cell phone to use for the days up to the wedding. So we could get a hold of Lori and any of our guest, which was a huge help since we are from Australia and our phones weren't working. Finally, all the little details - vases, signs, fans, etc. That we couldn't bring from Australia, Lori and Jamie had rooms filled with many things that we borrowed to add the finishing touches to the day.
  
  We loved them and I know you will to! So save yourself the trouble and go with Lori and Jamie. :)

  We just had our wedding few weeks ago and it went off without a hitch. Perfect planning from the perfect planner. We are in CA so the entire planning process was sight unseen so Lori was not only on top of everything, she really made sure all the details were taken care off. She is great to work with, very responsive, and very creative. Her husband Jaime wasn't too shabby either, he sang during out ceremony and it was beautiful. - Kelly & George
