Lena Teboul is the definition of exceptional. She is thorough, thoughtful, and resourceful. Her eye for style and use of design inspiration are excellent. And, her connections and understanding of people are well-suited for her profession. Without a doubt, though, her standout strengths are her tenacity, assertiveness, and client-oriented advocacy.

We hired Moana Belle and started planning an elaborate destination wedding nine months before the COVID-19 crisis. We selected a place with special meaning to us, and proceeded to invest time and money as we worked with Lena to carefully curate a once-in-a-lifetime experience for 64 of our friends and family.

Throughout that time, Lena and Moana Belle were great. They understood our style and priorities. Their planning and personalized recommendations demonstrated a spot-on understanding of us, our venue, and of tasteful design. Their coordination with our venue and vendors was seamless. Their communication was well-balanced and organized. And as I later learned, Lena frequently went to bat for us behind the scenes.

As we and our guests packed our bags and began traveling half-way around the world, uncertainty percolated surrounding COVID-19. Lena helped us promptly consult with our venues, vendors, and guests, and to seek counsel from government authorities. It was the worst possible timing. Just one day later, and things would've likely been entirely different.

After us and most of our guests arrived in Hawaii, and after nine months of painstaking planning, panic began to grip the nation. Against a backdrop that shifted by the minute, we were forced to make impossible decisions. But Lena was there for us every second.

She stood by our side as vendors and venues were all over the board; their decision-making ran the gamut from thoughtful and interactive to frantic and opaque--often changing by the hour. An event we had all spent months meticulously planning was entirely upended. And a significant sum of money was at risk of being completely lost.

On the fly, Lena helped us plan an entirely new wedding--only to plan another one or two after that. I like to equate her work as that of a chess master crushing a game while the chessboard constantly moved and the pieces simultaneously transformed.

Lena poured every ounce of herself into saving our wedding. Her ingenuity and perseverance were beyond remarkable. In the end, our wedding was more beautiful and more meaningful than we could have possibly imagined. We will forever be in her debt.

Lena is incredibly sweet! She made time to meet with us a year prior to our wedding. She went with us to each venue and it was an experience of its own. She’s guided us in the right path when we couldn’t decide. She made the process of planning a destination wedding so simple. She made our dreams come true and for that we’re beyond grateful! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for choosing us as your clients. We love you, Lena! :)

If you are feeling overwhelmed, just like we did when we first started planning, this awesome crew will come to your rescue! They will do whatever it takes to make your day so special. The execution of your idea into reality is one thing, but seeing it unfold for the first time is so much more than you can ever imagine.
