Amazing experience with Dawn and Mike

My husband and I had a perfect wedding thanks to the help of Dawn and Mike! They were so professional and kind. They made the whole experience very relaxed and accommodated any changes we wanted. The ceremony Mike performed was so special and we loved the Hawaiian traditions he incorporated. The photography and videography done by Dawn came out amazing and we loved our sunset photos. I'm so appreciative of them and how perfect our day was!

PPW helped plan our dream wedding!

We are so glad we used PPW! We would have been lost without them! Dawn helped us navigate the beautiful chaos of putting together a destination wedding. She was very involved in the process from helping us pick a beautiful venue to decorating tables! The day of was STRESS FREE as her team and herself took care of the logistics! Dawn was also our photographer! She took beautiful photos that we will treasure forever. Mike, the officiant, was also wonderful! He officiated and guided us through the license process. We adored our wedding. We thank PPW for helping us with our special day.

5 Stars, Absolutely the BEST

We were able to have the most magical wedding that was well beyond our imagination, and it was all thanks to Dawn. Dawn was absolutely amazing in supporting us and guiding us throughout the process. She truly spoiled us and though she tried to credit us for how gorgeous our wedding turned out, she did the heavy lifting of making our vision come into life. She truly was a delight to work with, and nothing could stress her out. It was absolutely remarkable. She was always kind, positive and supportive of us and really encouraged us to pursue what we wanted instead of what might have been easier for her. When we had to make changes or had to tell her we forgot something, she always replied with enthusiasm and it was so reassuring and much appreciated. I don't know how she does what she does (and I have been in operations management my entire career!) but we cannot imagine planning and executing our wedding as perfectly as it did if it wasn’t with her. Dawn, we thank you from the bottom of our heart. Our wedding was absolutely perfect. Everything felt right. We are forever grateful.

We also would like to extend our gratitude to her husband and an amazing officiant, Michael. He was so gracious and very respectful of our wishes. We really appreciated the opportunity he gave us to make our wedding ceremony our own. His execution was superb and we cannot thank him enough.

The best wedding planner!!

We had a fantastic experience working with Dawn in helping us plan my daughter’s destination wedding on the Big Island. Dawn is AMAZING and there are not enough stars to give her for the great planning help, guidance and support she gave us. She has great such a warm and caring personality that carries through into her work. She is great with follow up and quickly responded to all emails or calls. Dawn’s attention to details is 100% and she thought of so many little details we never thought of

Because of the pandemic we had to reschedule the wedding 3 times before finally having it in Sept 2021, Without Dawn’s positive, encouraging support we could not have gotten through this! Each time we had to start over and reschedule everything again, Dawn was there to listen, support and help us.

Dawn listened to my daughter’s vision for her wedding from our first call and quickly shared many ideas to consider. She gave us great guidance and ideas to bring my daughter’s wedding vision to life. Dawn is very well connected for everything you need, even at the last minute.

Despite waiting so long for the wedding, we still had several unexpected hiccups to deal with relating to the pandemic up until the last minute. Dawn was a lifesaver! When we had our ceremony musician drop out 2 weeks before the wedding Dawn came to the rescue and helped us find a great guitarist. When we needed to make a last minute change to our officiant, Dawn the superhero, provided some options immediately. We ended up choosing a wonderful officiant who performed a beautiful ceremony and happens to be Dawn’s husband Michael Eicher! Mike along with Dawn goes the extra mile to do things well beyond his officiant duties. When a week before the wedding we learned could not have dancing, I texted Dawn and sort of kiddingly asked if she did hula dancing. She responded “no, but I know someone”. And in the end, we had a beautiful hula and fire dance show at our reception!

The day of the wedding Dawn and Stacia took care of all the details so we could enjoy the long awaited wedding day! They both did a fantastic job and I never worried about anything. Every last detail was meticulously taken care of and the whole day was orchestrated perfectly.

Dawn is absolutely gifted at wedding planning and she is a delight to work with. Her rates are very reasonable for the top notch service she provides. I cannot recommend Dawn and Pink Pineapple Weddings or (Mike Eicher Big Island Officiant) highly enough. They are a great duo!

Amazing wedding planner!

Dawn was amazing! We hired Dawn for month of coordination for my destination wedding in Hawaii and she went so above and beyond, working with us through these crazy COVID times and 3 wedding reschedules. Dawn was always so responsive and really showed her problem solving skills throughout the process when we were told 1 week before the wedding we could no longer have dancing! She helped us find a last minute ceremony musician as well after ours cancelled last minute, as well as a new officiant ( we ended up going with her husband, Mike, who was also wonderful- highly recommend him as well!) Dawn brought such a positive, upbeat yet calming presence, which every bride needs when dealing with all the last minute details and little stresses. I could not recommend Dawn more to any destination wedding brides or brides local to Hawaii! Thank you Dawn!

Our Perfect Day!

Planning a destination wedding under normal circumstances can be challenging but in the midst of a pandemic can be a logistical nightmare! Dawn with Pink Pineapple Weddings put our concerns to rest and made planning our big day a seamless and easy process!

My husband Cody and I married on 12/5/2020 in a private ceremony on Ironwoods Beach in Maui. We had a vision of what we wanted our wedding day and post celebrations to look like but needed help working out some of the details. We were engaged in July 2020 and figured why wait? Let’s run off to a warm, tropical beach and get married in December! This didn’t leave us a lot of time to plan. We decided to retreat to Maui, just the two of us, and invite friends and family to attend our ceremony virtually through a livestream. I shared some ideas and concepts with Dawn and she ran with them! She partnered with local vendors to ensure that our flowers, leis, hair and makeup, cake, etc. were exactly what we wanted and fit into our budget. Dawn and her husband Mike (our wedding officiant- Bigislandofficiant.com)were so helpful. They kept us informed with the ever-changing COVID travel restrictions and requirements. We successfully arrived in Maui a few days before our wedding was to take place. Mike and Dawn met us to scout beaches for our ceremony and firm up last minute details. We had so much fun!

A few days later, our day was finally here! From getting ready to exchanging “I do’s”, our day could not have been more perfect! Our ceremony was beautiful and went off without a hitch! The photoshoot following was a blast! We rented a 57’ Porsche Roadster to use in our pictures and to drive to dinner. Dawn took so many pictures making sure to document all of our special moments. We went to dinner at Merriman’s (one of Dawn’s recommendations). We enjoyed a delicious celebratory dinner and toasted with Liliko’i Mai Tai’s to our forever!

The next morning we met Dawn and Mike for our “final plunge/trash the dress” photoshoot at Black Rock. What better way to solidify our vows and commitment to each other than to take a 30’ leap off of a giant lava rock?! Dawn snapped away, capturing our adventure while Mike cheered us on and made sure our phone/video camera was rolling! So fun and exhilarating!!!!

Our wedding weekend (ceremony, post celebrations, and jump) was absolutely amazing! Dawn was quick to get us “sneak peeks” of the pictures she had taken on our wedding day and of our jump at Black Rock so that we had them to share with friends and family right away! Within just a few weeks, Dawn emailed the remainder of our professionally edited photos. They are stunning and we couldn’t be happier with her work! She is so creative and detail oriented that she didn’t miss a thing! We are so grateful to have shared our wedding weekend with Dawn and Mike. They made our whole experience so wonderful! They are both delightful people and a pleasure to work with and be around. Mike is an absolute character with a great sense of humor! He is sure to keep you laughing! Dawn is fun, organized, and very helpful. She will make sure things are getting done as planned. She will run interference with vendors and prevent unwanted, stressful wedding day issues. We loved spending time with them!

If you are looking for a solid, professional, knowledgeable, experienced wedding planner and officiant, look no further! Mike and Dawn are such a dynamic duo. You won’t be disappointed! Together they will help you plan and make your special day unforgettable and everything you want it to be!

Forever fans,
Courtney & Cody Perkowitz

Pink Pineapple Wedding - The only way to go in Hawaii

Pink Pineapple Wedding is the best wedding planner in all of Hawaii. I wouldn't go with another wedding planner. I did my research and shopped around, but let me tell you this is by far the best planner! This business is professional, honest, and will make your dreams come true. Dawn and Mike have a true gift. You can tell they have love for each other and in turn have love for their business and that love spreads to their clients and makes their clients day even more special. Pink Pineapple Weddings was organized, honest and did not overcharge me. In fact they delivered, honestly I felt they undercharged me for what we got. Our day was perfect. I wouldn't go with any other wedding planner, Pink Pineapple Weddings is the best and believe me I did my research and I reached out to many different planners in Hawaii. Thanks again Dawn and Mike!

Considering Hawaii ? - Pick this Planner!

Okay, we all want to do the whole get married in Hawaii thing. However it is overwhelming. If you are eloping, destination wedding, or spur of the moment it is stressful. So I did what any person would've done, went to google to see who could help me plan this special day. I spoke to multiple wedding planners, I almost went with another one, but Pink Pineapple Weddings was the best one in all of Hawaii, let me tell you why.

Dawn and Mike are fully transparent, they helped me plan things and didn't over charge me for items so they could take a cut. Instead they were completely transparent about the prices for flowers, cake, equipment and the musician etc. Instead of the cake costing 300 and they charging me 320, and pocketing the 20, they charged me 300. I have never worked with such transparent people, ever.

Dawn is 100% honest. I wanted to get married in a specific place, and she flat out was like I am not sure if you want to get your dress dirty, deal with the tourists etc. Each decision we made was calculated, and not made in order for them to make a quick buck.

She helped me plan everything, we supported local businesses, and each vendor I worked with she recommend (although I didn't have to use her vendor if I didn't want to) was amazing and reasonably priced.

Her packages are more than fair and in my opinion are underpriced. Her photography and organization, paired with her Husband's dedication and amazing officiant qualities, makes Pink Pineapple Weddings the place to choose to plan your wedding.

I am just now receiving my pictures from the wedding. I am having multiple friends and family members telling me that these are the most beautiful pictures they have ever seen in their entire lives. Dawn has a true talent with photography and wedding planning. Mike knows how to make each ceremony unique and beautiful. I have never looked at a picture and re-lived the moment like this. Every picture Dawn has sent me, I genuinely re-live the moment in each swipe to the left within the album. You only get married once, thus you should pick the best wedding planner once to do this correctly the first time.

Pink Pineapple Weddings answered all of my ridiculous, annoying questions no matter the time change, or time of the day. Dawn and Mike washed away all my anxiety and really made this day special and possible. I am beyond grateful for this business for Dawn and Mike! Thanks again!

The Best Experience

Planning a wedding in 2020 was scary... until we decided to go with Dawn! From day one, Dawn was there for EVERY SINGLE STEP. She was generous with her time, helping us plan our elopement on the Big Island while we were in CT. She was very responsive when we had questions and flexible when plans changed due to the delays in traveling. She helped me find a makeup and hair stylist (which worked out perfect), delivered the bouquet and hakus for me and my little girl from a local florist (the most beautiful, tropical, arrangements, I’ve laid eyes on), helped us pick out a delicious cake from a world renowned chef and EVEN picked up my fiancée so we could have our “first-look moment” on the beach. She really took the stress out of it all and it was more than we could’ve asked for.

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous posing. I have three poses at best so I wasn’t confident if I could deliver when the camera was on. But Dawn has a talent with her clients. She made us feel as if we were the only ones on the beach, in our bubble. I admire her art in making people feel so confident and comfortable. She was even able to make our 10 month old smile for a few pictures, which turned out to be the best family photo we have.

I can’t say it enough. Our day was magical and beyond anything we could’ve ever imagined and a big part of that is because of Dawn and her team (we love Mike). If you are thinking about it, just do it! She knows all the spots and all the right people. She is IT!

We love you guys so much! Until next time!!! Thank you for everything ❤️
