Hiring CJ, Emma and Hawaii-Day Wedding & Events to be my wedding planning team was the best decision we could have ever made!! I decided to move my wedding date 9 month early due to my pregnancy. I definitely don’t think we could’ve done it without CJ and Emma, especially within less than 2-month timeline.

For the planning phase, CJ and Emma made sure that we were on top of everything for the wedding, from following up timeline to booking the vendors, especially our wedding was destination wedding and planning phase was during my first uncomfortable trimester. They provided us vender and wedding place options with pro and cons and follow up multiple times before the deadline. Due to my body condition, my maid of honor Han was the main one involved in planning. CJ was very patient and thorough with everything and provided clear to-do list for each person to complete meanwhile keep everyone in the loop.

On the day of the wedding, CJ team was on top of the timeline and made each session had enough time to celebrate as well as to take enough photos. Emma also went above and beyond to make sure everything went as smoothly as wedding could go-all the while smiling and easing my stress level. Our family was so enjoyed the day and we stayed over time at the dinner place. Both CJ and Emma stayed over till the end and helped us packing all the decors. We really appreciate their care and kindness.

Another highlight of their services are vender choosing. The biggest concern of destination wedding is worrying vender quality. I have to say Emma has very good taste to choose venders, made our biggest day beautiful and elegant. I absolutely love my makeup artiest abbie, my ceremony place and dinner place. How many times have you been to a wedding and actually enjoyed the food and wine? In fact, most of our guests raved about this food and wines. Believe or not, CJ is not only a great wedding planner but also a professional photographer. I absolutely love our wedding photos and the highlight video. I got a lot of compliment on the photos and a lot of my friends mentioned how touchable the video was. Known I have an angel boy coming up, he even made us a nice electronic photo album as a gift to us with a lot of photo fine touches!!

We can’t say enough thank you to all Hawaii-Day Wedding & Events for the effort you put into my flawless wedding. They are definitely the one who can provide you one-stop shop, all-inclusive and affordable, customized to fit your fancy and your budget.

PS: CJ is also a great photographer!

Thanks so much to CJ and his team: Ismael, Chloe, and Summer for all of their great work in helping us plan and coordinate our destination wedding! We really couldn’t have done this without them or have asked for better coordinators.

Because of our busy schedules and procrastination, my wife and I had put off our wedding planning until roughly 3 months before our scheduled wedding date (we had booked the venue + date already from pre-covid). As you can imagine, because of that, a lot of things had to be done within this short time frame. Luckily, CJ and his team was available to help us with the planning and coordinate. I had been originally interested in his team due to his multi-lingual team ( I believe he has team members that speak fluent Chinese, Korean and Japanese).

CJ and Ismael, who were involved in the planning phase, first built an overall timeline of what the day looked like, an initial floor plan based on our venue, followed by a very organized list of vendors that needed to secured, and essential things that needed to get prioritized. They also had many great vendor recommendations based on our budget and our envisioned design. Throughout the planning phase, they were also very flexible and accommodating as we had changed our design ideas multiple times and were quite selective about a few of the vendors. CJ is very honest about certain design ideas and pros/cons for each vendor which was extremely helpful for us in choosing vendors + planning the design.

Fast forward to the wedding day, Ismael, Chloe and Summer were extremely organized and did an amazing job making sure everything went smoothly. Ismael helped us smoothly incorporate some last-minute design ideas for our guest tables, helped coordinate with all of our vendors to make sure everything was there, and made sure the whole event ran on schedule. Chloe was extremely helpful in guiding my wife’s and her family (and communicated with them in Korean) throughout the photoshoots and wedding day. Summer was great in helping to get everything set up, welcoming our family + guests, and helping us with our guestsbook.

At the beginning of 2023, the thought of the whole planning process had been a very stressful thought for us, but with the great help of the Hawaii-day wedding team, our wedding turned out to be unforgettable and a lot more fun and memorable than we had expected. They had also made our lives so much easier throughout the planning process.


TL;DR: Hawaii-day wedding team was great and helped us plan everything from scratch in a very short time. Highly recommend them, especially for those with family members from China/Korea.
