True Bliss

Shane Canada and the Bliss team made our dream wedding come true. From start to finish Shane and his team were on point, communicating effectively, and making sure each and every detail was taken care of. The planning process leading up to the wedding evening was clear, well-planned, and brilliantly executed. During our wedding evening, Shane and his Bliss team handled every possible detail. They left no stone unturned and pulled out all the stops to make sure our evening was one we would remember for a lifetime. I couldn't be more thankful for Shane and the job he did, he truly knocked it out of the park! I recommend Shane and his Bliss team to anyone looking to have to most fantastic wedding experience ever! Mahalo Shane and Bliss!

I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!

Shane Canada and the team at Bliss are absolutely amazing! We had the pleasure of working with them as we planned our intimate Maui wedding all the way from Virginia and they did a phenomenal job! Obviously planning a destination wedding can be a little nerve-racking, especially when you aren’t familiar with vendors, venues, etc. But Shane was right there to answer all of our questions and made us feel so at ease with the whole wedding planning process. Bliss also provided an exceptional list of vendors for us to consider and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our selections.

The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect and went so smoothly . Shane is not only professional, hard working, and amazing at what he does, but he is also one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. He brought our wedding vision to life and a million “thank you”s would never be enough to fully express how grateful we are to him and the Bliss team.

Bliss in Bloom - Best Wedding Planner You’ll Find!

Allison is just the best in the business! She is professional, warm, responsive and knows the best vendors around. She made our son’s recent wedding at Orchid Fairmont run absolutely seamlessly! We were able to completely relax and enjoy the ceremony and reception (and the whole planning process) as she efficiently handled every detail, large and small...always with a relaxed smile on her face! I really can’t say enough about her amazing abilities - truly the stand out wedding planner on the Big Island!

Literally Perfect!

I was so impressed and overjoyed with everything! The coordination of vendors, the flowers, arch, minister, wedding cake, photographer... every detail was executed for us with high quality. We literally pulled up to the location and they were waiting out on the curb for us to assist. After the wedding, we sat down to enjoy our dinner out on the balcony under the beautiful Hawaiian stars and at our table was a gorgeous table arrangement of flowers and a handwritten card from all the vendors thanking us. How classy! It was truly us who were so grateful and thankful for making our destination wedding flawless and stress-free!

Thanks for a perfect day!

We got married at the Westin Maui in September and worked with Darren and the Bliss team to plan our special day in Maui. Darren, our coordinator was absolutely amazing! We didn't arrive in Maui until the night before our ceremony, Darren took care of all the details and made it the best day ever, nothing short of amazing.

Communicating with Darren was very easy as he was really responsive and well detailed about the pricing and options available to us. We had as many emails and calls as we desired, to ask questions and plan the big day.

Darren was very professional but also seemed like a friend that was helping with the planning process, you could tell he was genuinely cared about ensuring we had the best day possible, and went above and beyond even with last minute requests. We thought that planning a destination wedding would have been a challenge, but the entire process was made so easy! Thank you!

The flowers and arrangements were absolutely beautiful, and we couldn't have wished for more, they exceeded our expectations in every way.

Darren did a phenomenal job planning our most special day and coordinating details with the venue and vendors. We are thankful and will forever cherish the memories that Darren and the Bliss team helped create.

We cannot recommend Darren and the Bliss team enough, they are the best, and it was such a pleasure working with Darren! P.S. Hope you wouldn't mind planning our anniversary when we come back to Maui!!

It was a perfect day

If you are looking for a wedding planner in Maui, look no further, Darren and his team at Bliss are it! We worked with Darren for just about 2 years. He was amazing! He calmed our nerves, he responded promptly, and really listened. It was important that we stayed on budget, he respected that, and we did. He talked with us many times on the phone, and many, many emails were exchanged. When we had to make decisions, we never felt overwhelmed, he made it easy. It helped that he spaced out the decision making pretty much quarterly. We gave him ideas of what we were looking for (our Pinterest board) for the wedding, but just let him do his thing, and it was perfect! He found a florist that had a beautiful selection of local flowers, and he handpicked the flowers for our wedding---which were beautiful! Our wedding was perfect, the venue, planner, staff, flowers, weather, and our guests. Everyone who attended could not say enough about how beautiful the wedding was. After being together for 11 years, there was no better way to celebrate our union. Our best decision was to have destination wedding and do it the way we wanted. Our second-best decision was to use Bliss, Wedding Design & Spectacular Events. This day was perfect because of this team. Darren truly cares about the people he works with, and we consider him part of our Ohana. Thank you, Darren and the Bliss team, you have a special place in our hearts.

Our favorite vendor :)

Our coordinator Darren Keala was beyond amazing in the preparation and organizing of our wedding. We could not have asked for anyone better. Whenever we were stressed out with wedding planing, Darren always knew how to calm us down and had a solution for every situation. We were so lucky to have worked with him and would highly recommend his services. You are guaranteed to be in good hands because Darren is the best at what he does! Thank you so very much Bliss Maui!

Highly recommend!!

The bliss wedding team was absolutely amazing! I was so hesitant planning my wedding from CA, and not knowing exactly what everything was going to look like... but it was exactly what I dreamt of! Chelsea was on top of everything the wedding day, and didn't miss a thing! I would highly recommend them to all couples, I know how important your wedding day can be. Thank you Bliss for pulling off my dream wedding!!!

My husband and I got married at the Westin Maui and Shane truly made my day magical. He didn't miss a beat, suggested a couple last minute changes that made the day turn out even better, he kept all of us so relaxed and smiling through out the day. He truly knows what he is doing. We have been together for many years as a combined family with older children. We had a very private ceremony with our adult children, their spouses and 6 grandchildren ages 18 months to 7 years. All the grandchildren were all in the wedding. My husband and I keep saying how it was everything and even more than we had talked about for a very long time. We will cherish the memories for years. Thank you Shane!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
