A White Orchid Wedding

My wife and I got married at the White Orchid Beach House in May 2026. The venue was better in person which is shocking to say considering the pictures of it online are amazing. It was incredible. Such a breathtaking location. The space was large enough to accommodate our 40 guests, and there was plenty of space to get ready in the beach house. The beach house has separate suites for the individuals getting married and is temperature controlled. The venue is positioned on the south part of Maui in Makena and has an amazing view of the sunset. We are so happy with our choice of venue.

We were also so lucky to have picked White Orchid Wedding (WOW) as our planning service and to have been matched with Kendall Oreta as our wedding planner. Kendall was able to turn our dream wedding into a reality. She quite frankly worked magic! There is no way we would have been able to plan the wedding on our own as well as she did and we are beyond thankful for her expertise and dedication to our event. She was patient with our email responses, never made us feel rushed, and was always willing to schedule a call to chat items out if we needed. We were impressed with all the vendors that she recommended as well. They helped contribute positively to our day and we had a great time using their services. It was great to experience a planning process where our largest worry was trying to figure out which of the amazing vendors we should pick. Kendall was consistently so kind and truly cared about making one of the biggest events of our lives a special one. Her ability to plan and coordinate is impeccable and her desire to help is genuine. We will miss our emails and collaboration with Kendall!

We wish we could have the wedding day every day of the year and cannot recommend the White Orchid Beach House venue enough. When we say that the White Orchid Beach House will blow you away, we truly mean it. The day could not have been possible without Kendall Oreta and we highly recommend her as a wedding planner! We will never be able to adequately express our gratitude.

White Orchid Wedding made our Maui dream wedding absolutely perfect! Carolee and her team were professional, attentive, and handled every detail flawlessly, from vendor coordination to creating a stunning beachfront setup at the White Orchid Beach House. They made our day stress-free and unforgettable. Highly recommend for a magical Hawaiian wedding!

We cannot thank Kendall and her team at A White Orchid Wedding, Inc. enough for making our dream Maui destination wedding a reality. They are THE best. We had an indoor/outdoor, 43-person wedding in December at Sugar Beach Events and are still beaming from such a magical day. From the very first call, Kendall’s warm, knowledgeable vibe eased my anxieties. I’m a perfectionist with extremely high expectations and was nervous trusting someone else with all the little details for such a hugely important event. Man am I glad I did. Having Kendall manage vendor communications, timelines, payment deadlines, contracts, etc. was a gamechanger. I knew Kendall was in my corner every step of the way, and I was confident she knew exactly what our vision was. We had Laurie and Naomi as day-of coordinators, and they too have incredible attention to detail and are gems to work with. In fact, not only were all the vendors that WOW recommended outstanding, but they were so kind and added to the day’s joy. All around, the levels of service and quality at our wedding were impeccable. We know the wedding only looked so stunning and went so smoothly because of the abundant planning and dedication from our friends at WOW.

Tiera made our wedding day a dream come true! We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner!

Tiera always went above and beyond for us.
She is very thoughtful and detail oriented. She listened very closely to our wants and needs and always had alternatives ready for us to make planning easy for us. She was able to elevate our vision of our wedding and made it even better than what we imagined.

Amongst her talent to bring our vision to life, she really made our wedding day stress free. She made sure that all of the small details were planned thoroughly so that our day went by smoothly and let us enjoy our wedding day! You could tell that she had exceptional relationships with all of our vendors with the way everyone worked well together.

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner than Tiera. I loved the relationship that we built with her planning our wedding over the last year and a half. Anyone would be so incredibly lucky to have her plan their wedding day!

We had the absolute privilege of working with Jacqueline to plan our wedding in Paradise Cove on Oahu. We live in Australia and we planned our wedding at very short notice. Jacqueline was OUTSTANDING at every point in the process. She met with us a number of times over Zoom to plan our approach and ensured we had many options to choose from. The resulting wedding was absolutely beyond belief. The whole day felt like a dream. We both got to be so relaxed (as did our families and friends!) because Jacqueline was across every single little detail. Every recommendation Jacqueline made about the flowers, the venue, the photographers, etc. was absolutely spot on. It could have been stressful booking venues and vendors we had never seen or met but Jacqueline's expertise meant that we never had any worries.
Our wedding day was unforgettable and amazing. We will cherish these memories forever and ever. We really have Jacqueline to thank for bringing it all together as she did. Her presence on the day was such a delight, too. We can't thank her enough! One of the absolute highlights of the day was that Jacqueline personally drove our huge flower arrangement back to our hotel, so we returned to our room filled with the memories of the day. She's just beyond amazing and the personal touches were incredible.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I HIGHLY recommend White Orchid Weddings to any soon to be bride!! Working with Jacqueline was a dream come true and every detail was executed to perfection. I took a chance with them to help me plan a Maui destination wedding from Southern California and I can 1000% say I was not disappointed! Communication with Jacqueline was never overwhelming and she was always flexible and accommodating if I wasn't able to make a phone call. I never felt stressed working with her and our phone calls were like 30 minutes max once a month. It didn't feel like planning a wedding at all, it felt more like I was discussing my dream wedding with a friend and she made everything happen. The day of the wedding everything ran so smoothly and there were no unexpected delays or problems. If you're thinking of booking with them, you will DEFINITELY not be disappointed!

Christine and I had the pleasure of working with Kendall Oreta from White Orchid Wedding, an amazing wedding planner who truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable. From the very beginning, Kendall listened carefully to our ideas and preferences, and used her expertise to bring everything to life. She even provided suggestions for things that we had no idea would even be needed, but ended up making a huge difference on our wedding day.

Throughout the planning process, Kendall was always available to answer questions, offer suggestions, and provide guidance. She took care of every little detail, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and seamlessly on the day of the wedding. There were even a few last minute changes that came in, but Kendall and her team pulled it off without any additional stress on our end.

Her attention to detail and her caring, thoughtful approach made all the difference. She was a true partner in the planning process, and her hard work and dedication paid off in the most beautiful wedding Christine and I could have ever imagined.

We would highly recommend Kendall + the White Orchid Wedding team to anyone who wants a stress-free, unforgettable wedding experience. We are so sad that the planning process is over, and we will no longer be working with Kendall. She was so much more than what we could have wanted in a planner. Kendall did an amazing job bringing our vision to life, and looked out for us as a friend. She is simply the best!

My mom, Carolee is the owner of White Orchid Wedding and my sister Kendall is one of the coordinators. I recently got married on Maui in October 2022 and now have a new level of respect for what they do and everything that goes into planning a wedding. I knew they were both amazing before but quickly found out what that really meant. Kendall is extremely efficient and helped me nail down all of the decisions that needed to be made in a quick and painless process. Carolee is the most creative person you will ever meet! She has a timeless style that is perfect for even the pickiest of brides (ie: me).

Growing up around weddings I felt like I knew a lot... but I quickly realized I would have probably missed about 50 things if I were to plan the event myself. Kendall and Carolee were extremely patient even when I changed my design board for the 5th time. I couldn't recommend them highly enough! I may be biased... but I think they are truly the best in the industry.

Working with Nani with White Orchid wedding was such a dream!!! From the the first day that I reached out, she has been so kind, professional, fun, and all around AMAZING! Like so many other couples, COVID threw quite the wrench in our wedding plans and Nani was there by our side throughout the whole process of cancelling, postponing, rescheduling, etc. I never once felt stressed or uncomfortable in our wedding planning process! Nani made all of our wishes come true in the ways more beautiful than we could have imagined! Our day was perfect in every way and we are so grateful to WOW for taking care of all the details! I can’t recommend them enough!

Working with Kendall Oreta and WOW was a total dream. We cannot recommend them enough. Planning a destination wedding while navigating the pandemic was no small feat, and there is no way we could have pulled it off with out Kendall's incredible expertise. Kendall's professionalism, top-notch organizational skills, and just generally wonderful personality made the entire wedding process a complete joy. With careful research and incredible thoughtfulness, Kendall dove head first into helping us incorporate Persian elements, including an elaborate sofreh aghd table, into our ceremony. Kendall also worked with us to find a planning style that worked for me and my husband's busy work schedules. She's a communication genius and kept us on task and on schedule (we definitely didn't make it easy!). Kendall was also fantastic at helping us determine what really mattered to us-- she was so receptive to concerns and uncertainties and really helped us create a wedding that was ultimately personal and meaningful (and super fun and beautiful!). It's abundantly clear that Kendall really cares about creating a personal, thoughtful experience and it really shines through in everything she does. Our wedding was everything we wanted and more, all thanks to Kendall and the team at WOW; Kendall is truly the best.
