I recently had the pleasure of working with 1979 Hawaii to plan my dream destination wedding at the stunning Loulu Palm Estate on Oahu, Hawaii. As Californians, we knew that planning a wedding from afar would be a challenge, but Yarden and her team made the entire process seamless and stress-free.

From the start, they listened to our vision and worked tirelessly to bring it to life within our budget. The Hibiscus package was the perfect choice, and their team of vendors was top-notch. What truly impressed us, however, was their availability and responsiveness - they were always there for us, answering any question we had, no matter how big or small.

The wedding gallery and video exceeded our expectations, and our guests raved about the dinner and party long after the night was over. Everything about our special day was perfect, and we're so grateful to have worked with the 1979 Hawaii team. If you're planning an event in Hawaii, I highly recommend hiring these experts. They'll take care of every detail, ensuring that your day is nothing short of unforgettable.

1979 was amazing to work with! They truly put our vision into life! I highly recommend hiring 1979 for your wedding, especially if you are having a destination wedding in Hawaii! Yarden, Morgan and the whole team truly made our day unforgettable and we are forever grateful! ❤️

From the moment we began working with 1979Hawaii, I knew we were in the best hands. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but this team turned what could have been a stressful process into a joyful, seamless experience. Every detail—from the carefully chosen vendors to the flow of the ceremony and reception—was curated with intention, warmth, and professionalism.

The day of our wedding felt like magic. The food, entertainment, and ambiance were all in perfect harmony, creating an atmosphere that truly reflected who we are as a couple. It didn’t just look beautiful—it felt beautiful. The team at 1979Hawaii brought a calm, grounded energy that allowed us to be fully present in every moment of our celebration.

I am still in awe of the incredible experience we had with 1979Hawaii for our destination wedding in Hawaii, all the way from Texas! Morgan and her team were absolute angels to work with from start to finish. They took care of every single detail, allowing us to relax and enjoy the journey. We chose the Hibiscus package, premium catering and bar package, and some amazing add-ons like the lounge area, kids lounge, and lei making workshop. We created a vision board on Pinterest, and Morgan's team brought it to life with their exceptional planning skills and attention to detail.

The planning process was seamless, thanks to the genius planning form that kept everything organized and in one place. On the wedding day, everything was executed flawlessly. We had three coordinators who handled the setup, vendor management, and communication with the bridal party with ease and professionalism.

The ceremony was perfect, the cocktail hour was entertaining, and the food and drinks were TO DIE FOR! Our guests are still raving about them months later. The kids loved the kids lounge, and the adults enjoyed the photobooth, hula show, and lei making workshop. The lounge area was the perfect spot for our families to connect and bond, which was one of my main goals for the wedding.

The dance party was electric, thanks to the incredible DJ who packed the dance floor in minutes! I couldn't be more grateful for the love, effort, and attention to detail that the 1979Hawaii team put into our special day. Mahalo❤️ from the bottom of our hearts! If you're looking for an stress-free and unforgettable destination wedding experience, look no further than 1979Hawaii!

Our wedding day felt like an absolute dream, and it would not have been possible without Yarden and her lovely team. 1979Hawaii coordinated every aspect of our destination wedding. From our first virtual meeting to our last, they were very understanding and accommodating with our time differences and busy schedules. Yarden and her team are experts in their craft and will ensure that they bring your wedding vision to life. With not living in Hawaii, we were able to turn to Yarden to give helpful advice and guidance. On our wedding day, we were welcomed by Yarden and her staff, and they were very warm and friendly towards us and all of our guests. Yarden was especially attentive towards me as the bride, and was kind, helpful, and supportive. From making sure my dress was perfect for every photo to assuring our timeline ran seamlessly, I don’t know what we would have done without her and her team!

Hawaii 1979 was amazing! Yarden was so kind, caring, and professional from the start. My now husband and I only knew the venue we wanted in Hawaii. Hawaii 1979 was recommend by the venue. Neither of us had a specific vision for our wedding. Yarden was able to take the ideas and inspiration we had to make a perfect wedding day.

I highly recommend Hawaii 1979!

I booked with 1979hawaii for the paliku wedding package that came with everything that you can think of. The wedding turned out to be spectacular! Better than we couldve ever imagined. Yarden knows what the hell she is doing and made it as stress free for us as possible. I put all my trust in her and she delivered and THEN SOME! All my guests told me our wedding was the best that they've ever been to. The food was delicious and plentiful. Desserts were delicious! We planned from out of state and have never seen the venue so when we arrived on our wedding day for the first time .. holy shit..that we were in awe. The venue itself is beautiful but the small details made it even better. It was just gorgeous and amazing i cant even put into words. The pictures online dont do it justice. Like any bride, we stressed ourselves out for no reason but I am very thankful yarden and her team were there for every step of the way. I'm glad she took the reigns and knew what vendors were the best. You will not regret it. She made our day such an unforgettable experience. I would book her again and again and again! If you're the type that doesn't like to plan or would like for someone to take over.. she is the one to do it. She's been in this business for over 15 years. She knows what she's doing

We can’t say enough good things about Yarden and her team - they made our wedding the most special day for us and our guests!! HIGHLY recommend 1979Hawaii!!
Since we were going to be planning remotely, we needed someone who was going to be great at communicating and someone we felt we could trust. From the first meeting with Yarden, we knew we wanted to work with her. She really understood what we were envisioning, what our priorities were, and made us feel so at ease. She has such a beautiful and calming energy. And as we continued to work with her through the planning process, we could just feel how genuine and caring she was with making sure we were going to have an incredible wedding. Yarden was so great understanding who we are as people and as a couple,and gave us such great guidance and advice as we got things all set up. Especially in the week leading up to our wedding she was so incredible at getting everything into place - weddings can be so stressful but truly we felt so at ease with Yarden and her team! We were both just blown away when we got to our venue and saw everything coming together. We also have to rave about 1979Hawaii’s Catering and Bar services -our guests are still talking about how delicious all the food was! Everyone loved the pina coladas, and the bartenders were so much fun. Yarden showered us with so much love that day, and Laurie was a phenomenal lead-coordinator keeping things stress-free and reminding us throughout the night of all the joy around us. Everyone really went above and beyond for us and we are so grateful to have worked with Yarden and her team!

Our dream wedding was made reality - and a pretty stress-free one at that - by Yarden and 1979 Hawaii. The ceremony and reception was a respectful balance of universal marriage familiarity and tastes of the local culture, perfectly suited for us two recently relocated mainlanders with guests who too were mostly flying in. Yarden's advice and guidance provided a most memorable day and pleasure working into it. The staff were fantastic, food was incredible, and all our guests were blown away. Special shoutouts for our venue Moli'i Gardens and officiant Grant Gomes, cornerstones of this most memorable evening. Thank you Yarden and 1979 Hawaii!
