Best wedding planner on Maui

We just had our Maui wedding and worked with Ku’uipo. Ku’uipo and her team are incredible and made our wedding day so special. From the beginning of working with her she made us feel like family, helping us along our wedding planning journey. Whether you hire Ku’uipo for full fledged wedding planning or just day of coordination we would 10/10 recommend.

Saved my wedding!

It is NO exaggeration to say that Kuuipo hands down saved my wedding. After dealing with MONTHS of difficulties with our venue in Paia, Maui and losing our original wedding planner weeks before our wedding with no notice, my husband and I were at the end of our rope. Not only are you legally required to have a coordinator for every venue on Maui, but we were 5 WEEKS OUT when our original planner up and left us and we had no one to turn to. We were recommended Kuuipo and called her immediately, and not only did she listen to our plights, agree to take on the absolute MESS we were dealing with and HEAVILY reassure us that her and her team would take good care of us, she also freaking DELIVERED. She wrangled our vendors, handled communication with our venue, provided emotional support during the time leading up, answered every phone call no matter what day, and was a joy to work with. I've attended and been in my fair share of weddings before and never have I seen a planner be as efficient, kind, flexible, adaptable and reliable as Kuuipo. Plus her team was just as wonderful as she was, and never once during my wedding day did I feel pressured to make decisions or handle anything because Kuuipo and her team made sure to deal with any issues that came up internally or turned to our bridal party for answers, not the bride and groom. She embraced my creative (and eccentric) vision of what I wanted for our decorations and set up and never made me feel like I had to change how I wanted things, and her and her team executed the layout and design perfectly. I felt like our wedding was in loving hands, which was worth it's weight in gold after the year and half we had of nightmare planning. My only regret is that I didn't hire her sooner! Do yourself a favor, especially if you're a local family, HIRE KUUIPO WEDDINGS. It'll save you soooo much time, effort, tears, frustration, stress and overwhelm because Kuuipo and her team were seriously a 100000/10.

A September to Remember!

To start off we would like to thank you so much Kuuipo.Our day would not have been possible with all the help and dedication, you have given us.
Kuuipo is the best at what she does.She made planning our wedding so smooth and stress free. Her energy and positivity is what you need in a wedding planner/ coordinator. She definitely listen to what our vision was for our wedding. She handled all our vendors and explained to us all the details very well. She's very patient and understanding. We only got good things to say about her because she had executed our wedding so perfectly.
There isn't a lot of wedding planners here on Maui that understands and works well with the Locals.We are so happy we found her. Her vibe and her personality fit so well with us.She made planning our wedding so easy.She alway reassured me that were so far ahead and that we don't have anything to worry about.
If I can leave one thing on this review.I would like to say that for any future couples planning a wedding..Please consider hiring Kuuipo.You will not regret this decision.
Once again Kuuipo thank you so much for everything. You really exceeded our expectations and this was the best day ever. We truly appreciate all you have done for our Gazmen Wedding!! Till the next event!

The Perfect Wedding Thanks to Ku'uipo!

I cannot express enough how grateful we are to Ku'uipo and her team for making my daughter’s Maui wedding an absolute dream come true. From the moment we began planning, she was attentive, professional, and truly dedicated to ensuring every detail was perfect.

The coordination of the entire event, from managing details and communucation with the venue and the caterer, to the smallest décor details, was executed flawlessly. Ku'uipo took the time to understand my daughter’s vision and helped nudge us in things that weren't on our radar. The communication was excellent, and we always felt informed and at ease throughout the process.

On the day of the wedding, everything ran smoothly, thanks to Ku'uipo's impeccable organization and attention to detail. She handled any challenges with grace, allowing us to fully enjoy the day without any stress. The entire event was seamless and beautiful, and everyone who came is still raving about how wonderful every detail was!

We highly recommend Ku'uipo to anyone planning a destination wedding. She truly made our daughter's wedding a magical and unforgettable occasion. Thank you, Ku'uipo, for your outstanding work and a wedding experience that we will never forget!

Loved working with Ku'uipo!

My partner and I cannot say enough great things about Ku'uipo and her team! She was incredible to work with and was so helpful in the days leading up to our wedding. We live on the mainland and having her assistance in making sure all of our vendors were on the same page, and running things seamlessly day of was a huge stress off our plate. I highly recommend working with Ku'uipo!

Ku'uipo is a sweet heart!

Our wedding day was flawless thanks to our amazing coordinator Ku'uipo. Her and her team were organized, communicative, creative, and ensured everything ran smoothly. Her calm presence and attention to detail were exceptional, making our day stress-free and unforgettable. She even had a plan B for us if the weather wasn't going to cooperate! But luckily we didn't have to use it. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a perfect wedding!

Best wedding coordinator in Hawaii!

Kuuipo is professional, helpful and fun. We had some challenges along the way (as weddings, especially destination weddings, do) and there’s absolutely no way we could’ve done any of it without her. She kept us calm and positive through out the planning process and the outcome was nothing short of magic. She even managed to get us a rainbow during the ceremony. 🥰 We cannot speak enough great things about Kuuipo as a professional but also as a person. We love her! My only complaint is we don’t get to talk as often anymore. 😉

Ku’uipo went above and beyond!

I can not emphasize enough how amazing Ku’uipo is! She made our wedding absolutely stunning and has the best attention to detail. If you are getting married in Hawaii I could not recommend more. She made us feel so comfortable with our destination wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
