Ally B is my Big Island wedding Fairy Godmother

Ally was so helpful as the Day-Of Coordinator at my wedding on the Big Island of Hawaii. She is a local, which means she knows everyone and that played a huge role in everyone working together well on the big day.
Our venue was a lesser known spot that required some understanding of how to set up the tables and chairs, how to manage the lighting and electricity, and we had to arrange all of our own vendors. I found Ally, and thank goodness she had already worked at events at our venue!!! She helped take those details off of my mind and allowed me to focus on other things. As for our vendors, although I had already found most of our vendors when I met Ally, she recommended a photo booth guy who turned out to be absolutely wonderful, AND she already knew most of the people that I had already booked for our wedding.
In the months leading up to the event, Ally was most helpful via text and email. During the month of our wedding she got every single vendor's contact info and confirmed their start times and jobs for the day, which I am super grateful for. During that month I was so scatter brained I could not have done those things as patiently and thoroughly as she did.
Before traveling to HI, I had all the amazon orders, and signs that I made, and little last minute bits shipped to her house on the big island, which she brought up to our venue on the big day. She also picked up our favors, alcohol order, and ice and brought all of those things up as well.

Last but not least, it was POURING on our wedding day exactly when our ceremony took place. This was not Plan A, but we had umbrellas on hand just in case, and Ally shifted everyone under our tents and the whole thing turned out so much cooler than I could have predicted. I know nobody wants rain on their wedding day, but I am so glad it rained on ours. The umbrellas were beautiful in photos, our guests got to be more intimate with us during the ceremony, and everyone had more fun!

I am telling you, I could not have done this day without Ally. She would be an asset to any event on the Big Island!

You Need Ally B!

As my husband & I were planning our 10th anniversary / vow renewal and it didn’t take long to realize we were going to need some help. There were so many details and intricacies in areas we didn’t know we needed to address. Although I covered most of the planning I still needed someone with the knowledge and expertise in order to bring our vision to life. So in need of support I searched online and found Ally Brown. During our first virtual meeting she helped me refine and polish the plans I had already made and she was familiar with most of my vendors. Ally is professional, responsive, meticulous and creative. She has years of experience, expertise and tools at her disposal so we hired her on the spot. I was able to have the wedding of my dreams in great part because Ally was able to pull all the fine pieces together. I highly recommend hiring her services if you’re in search of a wedding coordinator.

Outstanding wedding coordinator!



I recently had the pleasure of working with Ally Brown for my wedding, and I cannot express how grateful I am for the incredible service and support provided. From the initial consultation to the last moments of our special day, Ally went above and beyond to ensure everything ran seamlessly.

One of the things that impressed me the most was Ally’s ability to understand our vision and bring it to life. She took the time to listen to our ideas, preferences, and priorities. The result was a wedding that perfectly reflected our style. The caterer she recommended was some of the best food we’ve ever had and the flowers could not have been more gorgeous! The decor, flowers, lighting, and overall ambiance were nothing short of breathtaking. It was the perfect island evening.

Throughout the planning process, Ally was always just a phone call or text away. She responded right away to our queries and provided regular updates. She seamlessly handled unexpected challenges that arose, making a smooth and enjoyable experience for both us and our guests.

On the wedding day itself, Ally was a true superstar. She managed the details with precision, allowing us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the celebration. From coordinating the arrival of vendors to keeping the timeline on track, she orchestrated the day flawlessly. Her presence was invaluable, allowing us to savor every magical moment without worry.

I wholeheartedly recommend Ally Brown to any couple searching for a wedding coordinator who is passionate, professional, and dedicated to making dreams come true. Ally’s, meticulous planning, and warm personality made her an absolute pleasure to work with. Thanks to Ally, our wedding day was truly unforgettable, and we are forever grateful for her exceptional service.

Thank you, Ally, for making our wedding day so special. We would have been lost without you!

Tears always come to my eyes when I think of how much Ally did for us and our Ohana. She truly thinks of everything and ensures you have the BEST experience possible. She’s a professional that gives you the personal experience needed to bring your special day to reality. Love the way she made me feel even in the midst of chaos, she remained calm & collect. If she’s available, BOOK her!

Stellar Day-Of Coordinator

Ally was great as our day of coordinator. We went into the wedding day a little bit haphazardly, as I imagine many do, and Ally was on top of everything with help from her assistant. From finding tools to communicating with vendors to helping install decorations, she was helpful throughout the event and handled as many things as she could on her own allowing us to enjoy the wedding. When needed, she would come find us to quickly and concisely describe the situation that needed our attention. I would say our only regret is not having her help coordinate from the beginning.

She saw what i couldnt

Ally was able to identify the 'gray' areas of my visions. She was able to ask the right questions of my vendors and of me. She helped me re-align my ideas with what would work but allowed my creativity to flow.

Wedding planning

I found Ally on this website and based off the reviews, she seemed reliable and great! Our first initial conversation in February was good. Talked prices and vision. She found majority of my vendors too. But then things started to go downhill. From after I put down the deposit, she wasn’t too responsive as I’d like her to be. She did one site visit with me on Oahu but then after that I hardly ever heard from her unless I reached out. Then I had to wait days on end for a response. She was doing more work with her pageant than my wedding. But I thought “oh my wedding is kinda far out maybe she’ll be more responsive when it gets closer (December).” But then a month out, no response. Around thanksgiving time, I had to find out on Instagram that she was on a family vacation. She told me she had my file with her and would email and respond to vendors asap. That never happened. We made a phone call meeting on a Friday. So I had to call, no response, Saturday I called no response, Sunday I called no response. No text, email, nothing. And this was 2 weeks before my wedding date. We had absolutely NOTHING planned. No timeline, seat arrangements, layout of the venue, and she was the main contact person for all my vendors. I finally had to find someone else last min which I found someone amazing to take over! It wasn’t until Wednesday, a week before my wedding, she texted, not called, to tell me she was sick, lost her phone and voice. I mean don’t you have a team that could’ve reached out to me to lmk instead of leaving me in the dark? It says you’ve been doing this for 20 years, you would think? I guess not. I mean I get it people get sick, but the unresponsiveness and the lack there of wasn’t doing it for me. I put a deposit down for $250 and she never did offer it back to me so I just ate it. She made my pre wedding experience a nightmare full of worrying and anxiety which I never wish on anyone! Lucky me to have gotten a planner like Ally. My advice would be to read the reviews but even then all her reviews were good so I really don’t know what to advise.
