Wedding Planners in Honolulu

After interviewing close to 10 wedding planners, we decided to work with Sun and her team at I Do, and looking back, it was easily one of the most important and best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, Sun was extremely organized and had a proven system in place that made the whole process feel smooth and manageable. She was always available through text and email whenever we had questions, and her wide network of vendors helped us bring together exactly the kind of wedding we had envisioned. No matter how unique or specific our requests were, Sun always did her best to make them happen. We wanted to have fireworks at a venue that was more strict and she investigated all the options for us to consider. On the wedding day, the execution was perfect. Everything came together beautifully from our Pinterest board and countless discussions and our dream wedding vision truly came to life. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but working with Sun took so much of that stress away and made the entire process feel like a breeze. When friends ask me if it was stressful, I always say no because it truly was such a fun time having Sun plan our wedding with us! She also anticipated our needs and would help address them proactively which we really appreciated. We can’t thank her enough for all the hard work, care, and attention she put into making our day so special.

We do not live in Hawaii and were only able to visit once for the site tour. Everything else was done via zoom with Caroline and the TME team. Every email I sent was responded to extremely fast and with an incredible amount of detail. I could not and would not have done it any other way than with them. Words can't describe how perfectly everything came together. I had zero stress with other vendors because Caroline took care of it. She and the day team decorated the whole place to make it look like something you can only dream of. They have tons of weddings to do but they make each and every person feel special and just as important as the next. I absolutely adore them and I want them to plan all my parties in the future!

When we decided on Hawaii for our destination wedding (midpoint between for our loved ones in Australia & Canada!), we knew finding the right planner would be key. The moment we met Cherise via Zoom, we could feel her warmth and care radiate through the screen. She instantly put us at ease, listened to us and offered to meet us in person and show us a few locations even before we signed a contract. Cherise helped us pick the perfect location (Hotel Wailea) and guided us through the entire process from start to finish with great comfort, ease, and we really felt well guided and taken care of throughout. Our guests would often comment that we did not seem stressed at all leading up to and on the wedding day itself which is proof itself of how great Cherise and her team are :). We really appreciated how we were given an overview from the start, guided through each step, and that things felt smooth and possible, even with changes along the way. Cherise is always warm, caring, and great with communication throughout. It felt so special to have her and her team with us on our big day. We also really appreciated all the recommendations for local vendors and advice in terms of where we could direct our guests for their own accommodations (Hotel Wailea being adults only). She works with a great team of many vendors who are all so complimentary about her, and we always felt that she had our interests at heart. She was great with respecting our budget and wishes. During the day itself, Cherise made sure that all our guests and ourselves were well looked after, she was ready for so many things (bag for the rings, helping with flower pinning, appetizers waiting for us at our table post pictures etc.. you name it, she's reassuring and comforting all along the way). More importantly, she really listened to us and made sure that what she would propose would be aligned with this. We would happily recommend Cherise and her team to anyone looking for their "perfect wedding" ;)

Before I reached out to Janice I went through 3 other vendors who immediately maximized my budget for an elopement, once I got on the phone with Janice she narrowed everything down to what I actually needed and suggested places to elope at that were convenient for my guests and our vision instead of traveling far. Communication was good through the process and flexible with changes as long as they were finalized at least 2 weeks before the big day. Janice also gave the idea to involve the kids in my small group to make it even more special. This group is very professional and experienced, they are ready for all outcomes on the day of!

After experiencing issues with a previously scheduled coordinator with a different company, she stepped in at the last minute and accommodated all my needs. She carefully reviewed every detail I had planned for my wedding day and offered valuable suggestions. Not only did she bring my vision to life, but she exceeded it. I am truly grateful for her services.

We loved working with Zenju Weddings. The team understood what we wanted and added thoughtful touches that made our celebration feel unique. Everything looked amazing, and the coordination on the wedding day was excellent.

Hiring Marisa as our day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and I genuinely cannot imagine the day without her. We had a lot of personal touches — handmade pottery pieces wrapped in suitcases that needed to be unpacked and laid out for guests, a tattoo bar, spikeball, mahjong, and so many little details that required real care and intention to set up. Marisa handled every single one of them without us having to think twice. She transformed the space into exactly what we envisioned. She also made sure all of my multiple outfit changes were organized and ready for me exactly when and where I needed them — I never had to stress or hunt for anything. And in the middle of all of it, she made sure I was fed and had drinks in hand. As a bride, being taken care of like that in the chaos of the day meant everything. Marisa has this incredible ability to hold everything together with calm and grace while somehow also anticipating your needs before you even know you have them. Our guests had no idea how much was happening behind the scenes, and that's entirely because of her. If you are considering a day-of coordinator, hire Marisa. You will not regret it for a single second.

Sunny makes the impossible possible, and pulls it all off with a smile and amazing energy! Building up to the day, she toured several venues with us explaining their pros and cons. She also had a wide selection of vendors to help us hone in on exactly the vision we wanted. She found us a bakery that could do a very niche flavor that we wanted (pandan and lilikoi!), vendors that could make the most beautiful flower arrangements for a great price, and a videographer. All of that makes Sunny an amazing planner, but that hardly scratches the surface on how wonderful she was. On the morning of our big day, the large Kona Low storm came in and closed down our venue. What could have been a disaster turned into the most magical day. Within a handful of hours, Sunny planned a whole new wedding at a safer venue that turned into a perfect fit! Not only that, she worked with all of our vendors to safely get all staff and guests to and from the venue. A TRUE MIRACLE WORKER! She saved our day in so many ways and we couldn't be more happy we chose her to plan our wedding.

My wedding day was PERFECT because of Cherished in Hawaii Weddings. I was led step by step through the planning process, and everything was covered, including a million tiny details I may not have thought of without them. They coordinated all of our vendors and my day was so smooth and stress free knowing that all of my decisions had been made and that Leah and her team had gotten to know me and my vision so well that if any issues were to come up, I knew they would make the exact right decisions for us. I cannot stress enough that you NEED a wedding planner...and Cherished in Hawaii Weddings is my #1 recommendation!

Wedding Goals Hawaii delivered outstanding coordination - they definitely surpassed my expectations. Lisa and her team worked really hard to make sure that our special day was nothing but perfect. Lisa was constantly there for me leading up to the special day. She works with you and will help with any questions or ideas you envision for your day. If she can make it happen, she will. She is truly the best and I couldn't have pictured having our wedding without the help of Lisa and her team. My family loved them and appreciated all the hard work!
