Hiring Michele was the best decision we made for our wedding!
I cannot say enough great things about Michele from Couture Occasions! We never knew how much we needed her until we met her for the first time during our consultation. I was already a few months into planning my destination wedding and I was already overwhelmed. With a full time management job and a family of 4 to balance, planning a destination wedding was just a tremendous amount of stress that I wasn't prepared for and it was starting to effect myself, my husband and my kids. Michele took all of that weight off my shoulders and carried it on hers like a boss! Working with her was an honor. From day one she had our best interest in mind. She took the time to know and understand what we envisioned as our dream wedding first and then she took off and put 110% into everything. As time went on, she NEVER wavered. She helped us renegotiate our existing vendor contracts to ensure we were getting the best value, and helped us procure new vendor contracts at the best cost and quality we were looking for, while remaining within our budget. She shared her veteran advise with us and made recommendations when warranted but NEVER imposed them on us. When the road got bumpy at times (because believe me, it will when you'd least expect it) she was right there with me to keep me calm and to smooth them out. She does what she says and says what she means. The best thing that she did for us though was on our wedding day. She just killed it. She rocked that day. She made it all happen for us. She made sure every little detail that we planned out in our heads for almost a year straight came to fruition in the best way possible. The entire day went so well and I was able to LIVE in the moment thanks to her. She took on all of the stress and hard work so that we could really ENJOY that day. She was a part of every detail coordinating our vendors, ensuring the venue was clean and setup the way we wanted it, the placement of the napkins and dinnerware on the tables, location of the photo booth, timing of our processional, guiding our guests to their destinations, being the point of contact for everyone and fielding all of their questions, etc. etc... Then there was the Grand Reveal which is an experience that I never knew I wanted prior to that day. I didn't even ask her to set this up but she did anyway and AJ and I are so extremely grateful for it because it was a defining moment on our wedding day. It was a moment where my husband and I were able to see our ballroom for the first time and before anyone else got to see it. I had been planning this day since I was a little girl, and for a year straight, it was all I could think of and all AJ and I could talk about. And walking into that ballroom and seeing it all come together was a humbling and emotionally powerful experience. Michele cared enough about us and making our day special to coordinate that for us and surprise us with it. But It doesn't stop there! At the end of our wedding, she surprised us by decorating our room with rose pedals. a drawn bath, champagne and FOOD for us to enjoy our first night as a married couple. She really went above and beyond for us! I would recommend her to the next bride a MILLION times over!
Thank you and Si Yu'us Ma'ase' Michele for honoring us with your professionalism and passion. You are a dream wedding coordinator and we are so honored to have you be apart of our story!

Life saver!
So this year has been one for the books, and the best decision I made was hiring Michele as our wedding planner. Not only was I busy renovating and selling my house and working on a refinance to another house, but I was also a bridemaid in another wedding and dealt with all the responsibilities that came with that. Throughout all of this, Michele was in the background carefully going over every detail for my wedding, and spent as much time as needed talking me through everything that needed to be decided on and making sure I wasn't too overwhelmed. With every issue that arouse, she was able to think on her feet and make sure they were quickly handled. I can't say enough about how much weight was lifted off of my shoulders knowing that I had a very capable and reliable wedding planner to make executive decisions when they needed to be made yet still ensuring we stayed within our budget and stuck with my vision. Michele and her team are a god-send and I highly-recommend her to anyone looking! Even my wedding guests would say the same (just ask the one who spilled red wine on her light-pink dress and was quickly attacked with a tide-to-go pen so that no stain was noticeable). I literally still have my sanity right now because of Couture Occasions! Thank you again for being AMAZING!!!

Dear Jessica,
Such a bright and busy anesthesiologist you are and it was truly a blessing to have such lovely, capable woman such as yourself put your full trust in me and my team. So happy when Chris went MIA (taking a last minute boat trip with his groomsmen) and we were able to get the photographer & videographer over to film the festivities - S.T.A.T!! lol Hugs to you both!
Michelle and her team are the best!
I am a videographer and I feel at ease knowing her team will be coordinating the day. They constantly keep me updated and not only make sure the bride and groom have everything they need but as well as all the other vendors! They are truly one of the best in the area!
Thanks for everything you do to make the day go by easier!
We had the opportunity to work with Michele last year. Throughout the entire process, she was professional, well prepared and thoughtful with her suggestions on designs & flavors.
