I cannot recommend A Touch of You enough!!! Taryn and her team at A Touch of You made everything from the very beginnings of wedding planning to the execution of the day an absolute dream. Planning a destination wedding for a dual military couple seemed like a daunting task, but with Taryn's help I never had to be worried about even the smallest details! Despite going through a pandemic and a pregnancy, Taryn was always a call or text away whenever I had questions (which was rarely thanks to her thoroughness) and she truly made me feel at ease placing my wedding in her hands. I only had a general idea of what kind of style I wanted our wedding to be, but Taryn's expertise helped me flesh out a full vision--and then she brought it to life perfectly! Our wedding was a "hybrid" wedding with half of the guests being local to Hawaii and half being from out of town; Taryn knew exactly how to make everyone feel involved and enjoy the night! I'm still getting texts from my guests saying it was the most beautiful wedding they've ever attended--I even had a friend tell me they wanted their wedding to be exactly like mine! If you want to be stress free and have your wedding be beautifully planned and perfectly executed, definitely pick A Touch of You!!

Taryn and her team made wedding planning from Washington a breeze! We decided to have our wedding in Kualoa Ranch Secret Island and Moli'i Gardens with only 5 months to prepare. I was concerned about us not having enough time to plan but after explaining my vision to Taryn she assured me that it was reasonable. We talked to a few wedding planners but decided to go with Taryn because we liked how detailed she was in the initial call and how open and honest she was.

Leading up to the wedding, we scheduled a trip 2 months ahead make final decisions and meet a few vendors. Taryn and team were very organized in creating a schedule for us to see venue, food & cake tastings, hair and makeup trial, and cocktail tasting. We had such a blast during this part of the planning process and felt like we were in good hands.

Days leading up to the wedding, Taryn was communicative with vendor invoices and ensuring we had everything we wanted. She even went above and beyond to include last minute items I wanted like calligraphy signs/nameplates and shave ice truck. We also had a rehearsal which was helpful and a detailed wedding day schedule sent out days before. We knew exactly what to expect day of and Taryn was available at all times to answer questions.

On the day of wedding, the day progressed according to schedule. The day felt so organized and her team helped fix any issues that came up. I felt like we really enjoyed our day without having to stress out about the little things. Taryn also took such great care of us ensuring we were taking care of ourselves that day such as staying hydrated and eating throughout the day. The ceremony and reception setting was beautiful, stunning and exceeded my expectations. The layouts looked exactly as planned and discussed. We enjoyed our day so much and it was such a memorable day for our guests as well. I was truly blown away by our wedding it felt like such a dream! Thank you Taryn and team for helping us plan the wedding of our dreams!

From the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU SO MUCH Taryn and team! You went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day went perfectly! We are forever grateful! 100% would recommend using A Touch of You for wedding planning/coordinating services!

My now husband and I got engaged in 2019. Like many other couples we had to cancel/postpone our wedding when the pandemic hit. We realized by the beginning of 2021 we wanted to change our plans of getting married in our home state of California to a small wedding in Hawaii. Oahu holds a special place in our hearts. It was our first trip together as a couple and we fell in love with everything about this beautiful island! Planning a destination wedding was super exciting, but also a lot for one bride. That's when I started looking for a wedding planner/coordinator.

From the moment I spoke with Taryn on the phone I knew we would be in great hands! She is knowledgeable about the wedding industry, very well organized, and is passionate about bringing your wedding day vision to life! Also, communication with her was a breeze. Taryn was prompt and professional throughout the entire process. I appreciated that she was always a step ahead of our vendors and had everything covered. This made me feel at ease especially when I became sick a month before the wedding.

We met Taryn on our rehearsal day walkthrough. She is just as sweet in person as she is over the phone! Her and her team prepared us for what to do, hyped us up for our wedding, and took notes of the last details. Throughout the rest of the day my husband to be and I relaxed while they picked up rental items/prepped.

June 7, 2022 was our wedding! Everything ran smoothly! I had mentioned previously that there was a sensitive family matter and everyone was mindful about that. Certain dynamics were kept separate as planned. Taryn and her team guided us, our vendors, and our guests, every step of the way from beginning to end! Their incredible eye for detail made our wedding setup an absolute DREAM! This included the name placements for our reception which was such a beautiful surprise! After the wedding Taryn asked if we wanted to have our florals preserved. That was awesome! They then drove the florals over to get the process going. We will never forget all your help in making our day so special!

There aren't enough words to describe how thankful my husband and I for Taryn and her team!

We started our wedding planning journey with her in 2019 (pre covid) and she had our backs the whole way through, all while the state of Hawaii implemented covid restrictions. We had to postpone our wedding due to covid and Taryn was ON TOP of her game. Taryn and her team even rallied for the wedding industry to open back up again in Hawaii as so many couples took a huge hit during covid (this is true, look it up on the news!!!!). Now if that's not a passionate wedding coordinator that fights and shows she has her couples backs, I don't know what is.

My husband and I did not worry AT ALL throughout the process. So many couples (with different coordinators in different states) asked me so many times how was I not stressed about anything. Simple, I just told them I had Taryn by my side.

Now come wedding day... A Touch of You KILLED IT. While my husband and I were getting ready in our hotel suite in Waikiki, Taryn had Steph (member on her team) watch over us to make sure everything ran smoothly on our end while Taryn was at the venue (50 mins away from where we were) setting up. When I say I didn't have to lift a finger on this day, I mean it. No one bothered me about the schedule, where everyone had to be, where all the vendors were, etc. Taryn and her team took care of EVERYTHING. Taryn made sure we followed all covid protocol as well. Even our guests were so impressed with Taryn and her team. Our wedding day ran so smooth, no hiccups, NOTHING.

Ok, I can literally go on and on about Taryn and A Touch of You. Im a little sad that we can't work together any more!

Taryn + ATOY team... from the bottom of mine and Alex's hearts, THANK YOU SO MUCH for making our dream wedding come to life!!!! Forever family.

Taryn and her team were absolutely amazing!! If you are looking at planning a wedding with a wedding planner, please trust us when we tell you, don’t look any further.

My wife and I live in Colorado, we planned our entire wedding within 3 weeks with Taryn and her team. Everything was so magical and perfect. She made sure our entire vision came to life without us even visiting the venue.

We trusted her instinct on all vendors and on top of that she made sure that we were still receiving the best deals possible. She is very kind and rest assured you will be in great hands!!

Now that our wedding is over, we truly can say that we miss talking to her daily! Haha!!

Really understood what we wanted and not only executed it but exceeded our expectations and came out better than we could’ve imagined.

We had a 2 year engagement and had previously hired Wendy Tenedora Wong with House of Aloha Hawaii to coordinate our wedding in Hawaii. Unfortunately after a year and a half of false hope and assurance, our wedding was far from being executed - a whole other story in itself. I was referred to Taryn with a touch of you after much vetting from one of my bridesmaid. Even with my initial conversation with Taryn, she was super sweet and understanding of our unfortunate circumstances. With only 1 month to plan my wedding, Taryn jumped in with no hesitation. She was very accommodating to our vulnerable situation and really brought back the excitement in planning our wedding. She answered every phone call/text/email and provided insight to things we didn't consider. Not only was her team knowledgeable and supportive the entire way- they really took care of us the day of. Making sure we ate, drinks were always full, makeup was touched up and fires were put out. Expect nothing but the best and nothing but love when working with A touch of you.

This review is late, but Taryn and her team did such an awesome job that I felt I needed to write this. First off, we had the full planning package with Taryn. All our meetings with our various vendors was always full of laughs, and she made sure to keep us on point. My friends tell me how stressful the week leading up to the wedding is, but honestly it felt like I had nothing to do. And best of all, my wife was not stressed out. Taryn and her team did such an awesome job on the day of including doing a shopping run for us. My wife was feeling a little under the weather on the day of the wedding, but her team went out and got medicine for her. She made our day so special and we will cherish the memories of our awesome day.

Working with Taryn was our wedding destiny! We were referred to her through Loren at Marry You in Hawaii, which is where we found our amazing officiant Brutus La Benz. We spoke with Loren about where we were in our planning process and she highly recommended we look into getting a day of coordinator. We were very DIY and on a tight budget for our wedding so we initially thought we would just handle all of the day-of madness ourselves. We are sooooo glad we listened to Loren and got in touch with Taryn! After speaking to her one time over the phone we felt so much relief from our wedding anxieties. We went through our vendor list with her and she assured us we were in great hands. She helped guide us through the last 2 months of planning and held a rehearsal for us the day before. She was there the day of along with her associate Stephanie to take care of EVERY LITTLE DETAIL. They took care of us the entire day, made sure we were happy and even hydrated (it was super hot that day). They handled all of the set up for the ceremony and reception and did a beautiful job with our table decor. If you want your day to run smoothly and stress-free, Taryn and Stephanie are a must have!
We don't know what else to say besides the fact that they went above and beyond to make our day perfect! And by beyond... we mean BEYOND! When discussing rentals with Taryn I had mentioned wanting to rent some beautiful goblets but ultimately ended up not getting them for budget reasons. To our surprise, Taryn was able to acquire them for us! It may not sound like a big deal but it meant a lot to us and it was such a thoughtful gesture. And it didn't even end with our wedding day. The following day, Cary lost his wedding ring while snorkeling on the beach. We were able to find a new one just like it. Thanks to Taryn, she was able to put us in touch with our officiant again to have him do a little mini ceremony for the new ring.
So whether you're looking for a day of coordinator or someone to handle all of your planning, just book A Touch of You NOW!

Taryn was amazing to work with from the start. She was so kind and so willing to help right away, and not to mention so patient with me.

The day of the wedding, Taryn and Stephanie had made it so seamless for me that not once did I worry about anything.

Thank you so much for everything that you both did for us on our wedding, you ladies are so appreciated!
