Working with Opihi Love was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! I honestly don’t even know where to start because they went so far above and beyond anything I ever could have imagined from a planning team!!

They didn’t just plan a wedding, they gave us the gift of actually enjoying it. Everything was handled so seamlessly that I felt completely taken care of the entire weekend. They went above and beyond with every detail, from letting me ship all my welcome bag items to their house, to returning alcohol for us after the wedding, to literally assembling tiny name tags from Etsy that showed up unassembled (which I would’ve lost my mind over on my own).

They’re insanely organized, calm under pressure, so kind, and their design skills are on another level. I came in with a loose vision and what they created was more beautiful than I ever could have dreamed. Everything felt intentional, elevated, and just perfect. Plus, Kristin and Maxyne are genuinely cool and fun people and I was always excited to hop on calls with them!

People always say something goes wrong at every wedding, but I truly can’t think of a single thing that did at ours. All our friends and family keep telling us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and they specifically call out how amazing the vendor team and planning were.

I wish I could get married again just to work with them. If you’re lucky enough to have Opihi Love plan your wedding, you are in the best possible hands!

Kristin helped us plan our dream wedding at Olowalu Plantation House on Maui in May. She was (and is) incredible.

After interviewing over five local wedding planners, Kristin was the clear choice for us because of her organizational skills, local connections, and reputation on the island. We feel so lucky to have been afforded the opportunity to work with her.

My husband and I have demanding jobs with long and unpredictable hours, so it was important to have a planner that takes initiative and communicates effectively. Throughout the planning process Kristin did exactly this. She is incredibly responsive, not to mention easy and fun to talk to. She set clear timelines with objectives. She always worked within our budget and vision. Because of her, our wedding planning was seamless, easy, and stress free. And, the execution was flawless. She took our dreams and made it a reality.

We cannot recommend her highly enough. She is the secret ingredient to the perfect wedding.

Opihi Love - Kristin and the incredible team at Opihi Love are truly a dream to work with. From the very beginning, Kristin took the time to really get to know us—not just our vision and budget, but who we are as a couple, what matters most to us, and all the little details we had dreamed of for our big day. She has a gift for turning conversations into curated, thoughtful action, connecting us with the perfect vendors and pulling together an experience that felt not only seamless, but deeply personal. The way Kristin guided us through the planning process was everything we could have hoped for and more. Her calm presence, organization, and expertise made what could have been a stressful time feel genuinely enjoyable. She always made us feel heard, supported, and excited, and we always knew we were in the best hands. Our wedding week, with Kristin at the helm, will forever be one of our most cherished memories. Every moment was filled with joy, love, and a sense of ease thanks to her hard work and heart. We truly can’t recommend Kristin and the Opihi Love team enough—if you're looking for a planner who brings heart, talent, and a magical touch to everything she does, Kristin is the one.

I genuinely could not recommend Kristin Agbayani enough for your wedding planning needs. It’s hard to put into words how much of a lifesaver and rock she was for me throughout the entire process.

First, here’s the kind of bride I am: a satisficier without much of a design eye, that wanted someone I could trust to guide me & give me recs throughout the process. I met Kristin because she planned my friend Julie’s wedding in Maui the prior year, and I loved the work she did so much that when my fiance and I thought about Hawaii, I reached out and booked her immediately.

Here’s what you can expect working with Kristin:

1. Organization and details to a tee - she’ll keep you on track with everything you need. I never had to think, “am I forgetting about X?”, because Kristin was on top of it!
2. Timely responses and communication - whether via text, email, or through the portal - Kristin never missed a message and always responded quickly. Nothing like those “2 week wait” response time horror stories I had heard from friends.
3. Real talk - she’ll shoot you straight, whether it’s about budget, vendors she trusts vs. ones she’s heard mixed reviews about, or if you’re running a design element by her. Because I trusted Kristin so much, I never researched vendor options outside of the ones that she sent me.

That was all in the planning process, and I’m now just getting to the grand finale: the wedding day. We picked Hawaii in July, at an outdoor-only venue, because of the highest likelihood of good, sunny weather. Well, on our wedding day, it drizzled and poured rain for an hour - right before our ceremony was supposed to start. I felt a strange sense of calm throughout it all. One, because it wasn’t anything we could control. Two, because Kristin was there keeping us grounded and calm. She had all of our guests mingle underneath the tent, opened the bar early for cocktail hour, and got them cheery and in a good mood to cheer us on whether it be raining, drizzling, or cloudy when we started. The good jujus worked - once we started our delayed ceremony, it didn’t rain a single drop!

I’ve had friends tell me that bad planners have constantly hounded them throughout their wedding day to tell them they’re behind. Kristin only checked in with me when she needed me, and despite the delay - said we were ahead of schedule at one point! I put complete trust into her and would recommend her 10/10, any day, to any bride.

My sweet dad said after the wedding: "That was the best day of my whole life." Kristin made it happen - for my husband, for me, and for my dad. You will be so lucky to work with Kristin if you choose to! She’s family now.

Kristin and the whole Opihi love team was the best to work with! Our whole wedding day was truly perfect and everything ran so smoothly! Everything we talked about with Kristin and Pinned appeared in our decor, from the flowers to the touches of gold in the place settings. It was soft, chic and romantic. We never stressed or worried about the day of things because she had them all running smoothly behind the scenes. All the vendors she recommended were wonderful as well. We got lots of compliments about Sean( the officiant) saying that it seemed like he knew us personally by the way he preformed the ceremony. The bar owner & staff were wonderful as well! It was not an easy task planning a wedding from another state and having a young baby on top of it but, Kristin was organized and knowledgable and guided us through the whole process. She truly understood my vision for the day and planned such a beautiful wedding! We highly recommend working with Opihi for your wedding, you will be so happy with the outcome!

Kristin and her team delivered a dream wedding beyond our expectation! We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out - the wedding was everything we wanted and more! Besides her amazing taste curating the wedding of our dreams, Kristin is just so delightful to work with - she's warm, thoughtful and responsive!

We haven't gotten pics from the wedding, but def check out Opihi love's IG page - you won't be disappointed!

Kristin and her team are a dream come true! When I contacted her to shop around for a destination wedding planner in Maui, she was the one I felt was reasonable about expectations. She made wedding planning so easy and effortless that my friends and family would ask me, and I was never genuinely stressed about it. Kristin was not only able to help us plan with the rest of our vendor's time when we made a trip out to the island, but she was able to answer many of our questions and help me make our vision a reality. We happened to be one of the couples who were anxiously waiting to see if we could still have our wedding as the Maui fires damaged a lot of the island. She is so professional that she already had a Plan B & C for everything planned. She had already contacted all our vendors, was figuring it out, and had plans in case we needed to change it. We were lucky and didn't have to change anything; it was amazing on the day of the wedding. I can not stop raving about her and her team because our wedding was executed flawlessly. All our friends who are getting married asked us about our wedding planner and the team because they were shocked at how well the wedding was planned and executed since they have been to multiple weddings. I don't know what else to say if that doesn't tell you how good of a planner she is! I highly recommend her and her team to anyone planning to marry on Maui. She is worth every penny and more!

Kristin and her team at Opihi Love are incredible. She works with the most amazing vendors which made our wedding day stress free and an exceptional experience for our guests. Thank you Kristin!!!

We met with other planners, but were turned off by opaque pricing and cookie cutter services. From our very first meeting with Kristin, she was open, honest, and truthfully felt like a long lost family member. She (seemingly) effortlessly helped us navigate the complexities of planning a destination wedding and gave us her full attention and care from start to finish. She even recovered some lost items from the venue days after the reception that one of our guests left behind! When my wife and I reflect on our wedding day and ask "what would we do differently?", the answer is "nothing" because Kristin was able to arrange and execute a perfect wedding.

Kristin is the most incredible wedding planner! We cannot recommend her enough! She is extremely organized, thoughtful, detail oriented, and all the vendors she works with are the best. She was always available to answer our many calls, emails, and texts and provided helpful guidance for making our wedding so beautiful. We did not have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day and we enjoyed every moment. She and her team brought our ideas to life and we were speechless seeing the wedding venue. Kristin took the stress away from wedding planning and truly cares about all her clients. If you are getting married in Hawaii you need to book Kristin, we cannot say enough good things!
