Our Disney Dream Wedding Come True!

Our wedding at Lanikuhonua was possible thanks to the help of our incredible planners: Kim K. Ross and Nicole Tam at Aulani! Through careful planning with their guidance, they turned our dream wedding into a reality! They were approachable, supportive, and organized, and their attention to detail really proved that they are experts at what they do. Our entire wedding stay went beyond our expectations from our hotel room with personalized touches to our wedding venue being a scene straight from a movie. They ran each of our events smoothly, had open communication with us, and truly made sure we enjoyed ourselves. Kim and Nicole along with the rest of the Aulani staff genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we and all of our guests felt welcome and taken care of: A true Disney experience. We had an amazing time and highly recommend Aulani as a wedding venue for future couples! Kim and Nicole: Thank you for being the best team we could trust to make our special day truly unforgettable!

The most magical day ever!

I owe my life to Kim and Kalena! They both made our day so special, so memorable and just so perfect. Kim, who I believed to be my fairy godmother, understood what we wanted and was super supportive about staying within our budget. I have always wanted to be a Disney bride/princess going up, and they both made it happen. All the staff were amazing. The food was amazing. All the vibes were amazing.

I was a destination wedding bride, and I thought planning the wedding was going to be so stressful. I am a type A person, but allowing Kim to do her thing, felt so stress-free (and knew we were in the right hands). Every month, every video call meeting, and every little detail, was so worth it. I can’t thank Kim enough. You will forever have a place in my heart.

And Kalena, you are an angel. I appreciate you so much!!

I hope future Disney brides have the chance to get married at Aulani. It was the best day and trip ever. I can’t wait to come back to Aulani to have some rest and relaxation!

Our best day ever (with the best team ever!)

The Disney wedding team based in Aulani was incredible to work with! Shoutout to Kim, Nicole, and Kalena for their amazing support throughout the entire process. They were so easy to communicate with, and planning everything with them felt seamless. They truly understood our vision and brought it to life perfectly. Our day wouldn’t have been the same without them and their entire team—we couldn’t have pulled it off without their help. We’re so grateful for the guidance, care, and support we received. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to bring their dream Disney wedding to life!

Best Day Ever

We had our wedding at Disney Aulani, and honestly, it was the best day of our lives.

From the very beginning, Nicole and Kim made everything feel easy. Planning a destination wedding can be stressful, but they were always on top of things, super responsive, and just genuinely great to work with. We always felt like we were in good hands.

And somehow, the actual day was even better than we expected. The entire Aulani team went above and beyond in every way to make it the best day ever. Everything came together perfectly—the setting, the timing, the details—and we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. We were actually able to be fully present and just enjoy it, which meant everything to us.

What really stood out was how much the team cared. It didn’t feel like just another event—they made it feel personal and special, and that made all the difference.

We’re so grateful to Nicole, Kim, and the entire Aulani crew for making our wedding unforgettable.

Dream come true Hawaiin Destination Wedding

My wife and I had our Hawaiin destination wedding at Lanikuhonua and we worked with our wedding planner, Kim Ross from Aulani. Everything was great and there were no negatives at all. Kim is a truly amazing wedding planner and an even better person. The months leading up to the wedding, she helped book our vendors and planned all the big items to small details of our wedding with us. Any idea we had, Kim made a reality. My wife and I are on the West Coast and even with the time difference, communication was never an issue. Kim is extremely responsive via email, she was punctual on our meetings, and helped calm our nerves and kept our ideas organized. Kim and her team were able to execute our vision completely and we are so grateful that we had her on our team.

Kim is also thoughtful and helped us to save money here and there, but not sacrificing our vision. It’s clear she’s very experienced.

On the day of our wedding, everything turned out even better than we imagined. Kim had everything set up exactly like she had planned with us. The Aulani staff were so genuinely nice and professional, they made us feel even more loved on our special day. We didn’t have any hiccups at our wedding, if there were, we didn’t at all. After our wedding, multiple sets of family and friends commented about how great our wedding planner was, how professional and nice she is. She definitely left a good impression.

Hawaiian dream wedding

Kim Ross was absolutely amazing! We didn't have an exact budget, but we knew what we wanted to include in the wedding and what we didn't. Every question we asked, Kim answered quickly and helped us create our perfect wedding. She asked questions based on our wants and things we didn't even know we wanted. She knew exactly how to calm our minds with all of the details that are included in making our day great. She even took the time to answer questions that we had about the other Hawaiian islands for our honeymoon. We can go on and on about the amazing team at Disney and how easy they made everything for our special day.

It was the perfect wedding!

Everything went so smoothly with the help of our planner Kim. My bridesmaids said they've never seen a wedding so organized! We had monthly meetings with Kim until the month of the wedding, and Kim was always very responsive and made sure everything was done right. Kim also helped us register the marriage license which made things so much more convenient. Both my husband and I are Disney fans, and we couldn't be happier and more grateful to have our wedding at Aulani! The place was absolutely stunning, and my guests had so much fun staying at the resort, especially the kids! Highly recommend Aulani to be your destination for wedding!!

50year anniversary and vow renewal

Our ceremony and organization by Nicole Tam was amazing. During the planning stages she called me monthly to finalize details and readily and willingly answers all my questions and concerns. I felt that we were given service and attention to details that made our event super special. Both my husband and I would highly recommend Nicole. She even went above and beyond when we needed a wheelchair. Thanx again to Nicole and her staff that made us a memorable event! Karen and Greg Lewis. 7/2/2025

Beyond Perfect, Thanks to Nicole

My wife Nancy and I had the most memorable experience in Hawai‘i this September, and our wedding day truly could not have been more perfect. A huge part of that was due to how organized, attentive, and supportive Nicole was throughout the entire process.

From the very beginning, the months leading up to our wedding felt effortless. We had small planning milestones each month, and every question, no matter how small, was answered quickly and clearly. Nicole made us feel confident and prepared every step of the way.

On our wedding day, we experienced an unexpected rain shower. What could have turned into a stressful situation was handled with complete grace. Nicole immediately had umbrellas ready, and what we thought might be a problem actually turned into one of our favorite photo moments. It became a fun, spontaneous, and unique memory that we will cherish forever.

The ceremony itself was beautiful. Our officiant brought both of our families together in a meaningful and heartfelt way. It was everything we dreamed of and more.

After the ceremony, Nicole continued to guide us seamlessly through photos and the rest of the schedule. We never once felt lost, rushed, or overwhelmed. We were able to stay present and simply enjoy the day.

Nancy and I could not be happier with how everything turned out. It was not only a perfect day with our families, it felt like a celebration shared with the wonderful Aulani team, especially Nicole. By the end of the night, she did not feel like just our coordinator, she felt like a true friend. We are incredibly grateful for her dedication, kindness, and the heart she put into making our wedding unforgettable.

Vow Renewal

From start to finish, Nicole made our vow renewal absolutely magical. My husband and I still can’t stop talking about how special she made our day. Planning a ceremony from another country and time zone could have been stressful, but Nicole made everything effortless. She was always available to communicate with, quick to respond, and so kind and understanding every step of the way.

The venue at Aulani was breathtaking — we were truly speechless when we saw it. Every detail was beautifully arranged, and it was clear how much care and attention went into making our ceremony perfect for us.

Our day was emotional, intimate, and filled with so much love. It was such a meaningful experience to share with our three kids — something we’ll cherish forever.

Nicole went above and beyond to make our dreams come true. We have nothing but amazing things to say about her and the entire Disney Fairy Tale Weddings team. If you’re considering a celebration at Aulani, don’t hesitate — Nicole will make your day unforgettable!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
