Kim: The Heart and Soul Behind Our Unforgettable Hawaiian Wedding

We were incredibly fortunate to have Kim as our wedding planner for our destination wedding in Maui Hawaii, and words cannot express how grateful we are for her invaluable assistance. From the moment we first contacted her, Kim welcomed us with open arms and guided us through the entire planning process with ease. Her friendly attitude and professionalism made us feel at ease every step of the way.

One of the things that impressed us the most was Kim's ability to help us stay within our budget while still creating a wedding that was absolutely breathtaking. Her expertise in floral arrangements not only saved us money but also added a special touch to our ceremony that we will never forget. Despite not arriving in Hawaii until shortly before our wedding, Kim managed to pull everything together flawlessly, from recommending the perfect venue to connecting us with the right vendors.

Our guests couldn't stop talking about how wonderful the wedding was, and we have Kim to thank for that. She was always quick to respond to our questions and made sure we stayed on track throughout the planning process. She even went the extra mile by providing us with an address where we could ship our belongings, sparing us from the hassle of lugging everything from Texas.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Kim to anyone planning a wedding in Hawaii. Her organizational skills, professionalism, and genuine kindness made our day truly unforgettable. With Kim by your side, you can trust that your wedding will be in the best possible hands, allowing you to focus on cherishing every moment of your special day.

Book. Her.

YES! You really do need a wedding planner! I would be huddled in a corner without Kim navigating all these changes for me! I booked Kim in 2019 for my dream wedding. She helped me reschedule my day twice due to COVID restrictions. She handled everything, including me. I did not have to worry about anything, and I knew she was on top of it. Unfortunately, I was ultimately unable to have my postponed wedding due to the wildfires, but I still felt the need to commend Kim for all her hard work through the YEARS. We were both sad to call it quits, but I would not have been able to navigate without her, especially being all the way in NJ! Not only did Kim plan everything, coordinate everything, and converse with everyone, but she also offered suggestions outside of the wedding that were helpful for my travels, which I thought went above and beyond. Not only did she care about creating a perfect day, but she wanted my family and I to enjoy our entire stay on the island as well. BOOK. HER.

Amazing Wedding in Maui

Kim and her team were fantastic! They helped accommodate for a beautiful at home wedding. She was very punctual and on top of everything well in advance and encouraged us to get tasks done in a healthy time interval to prevent too much stress on the day of the wedding. She had excellent recommendations and was amazing at coordinating food, event supplies and personally arranging amazing floral supplies. I would definitely recommend her to anyone interested in getting married in Hawaii.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
