Dream Wedding Weekend!

The Sunshower team was absolutely incredible, I received so many compliments from my guests about how well-oiled of a machine they were. They didn't just plan my wedding day but they planned a wedding experience for my wedding guests at Kona Village! I had a three day wedding weekend (welcome party, wedding day, beach party) and they took care of every part from top to bottom. My husband and I both have busy jobs so it was so nice to have Kate be super responsive. It was pretty amazing to see her designs come to life, she put the mock ups together for us and it turned out exactly how we envisioned (but even better). I wanted a wedding weekend that fun, unique but also elegant and she absolutely delivered. If you're having a wedding at Kona Village, Kate knows the place by the back of her hands (right down to where the palm trees stand). She has a great relationship with the Kona Village team so was able to request stuff we didn't even know about! The best investment of my wedding!

Best Decision!

Working with Sunshower (Falynn) was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, Falynn made the entire planning process feel smooth, structured, and manageable. She guided us through every step, helped us think through decisions we wouldn’t have even considered, and always stayed organized and on top of every detail.


On the wedding day, everything flowed seamlessly, even with some weather uncertainty. The wedding day was forecasted as heavy rain a few days before the wedding, Falynn proactively made many arrangements for backups. Luckily the day turns out to be beautiful. Because of her, we were able to fully relax and enjoy every moment without worrying about logistics.

We also made some last-minute changes to reception details very close to the wedding, and Falynn handled all of it seamlessly behind the scenes.

We were especially impressed with the after party setup—it turned out even better than we imagined, with such a fun and energetic atmosphere. It was truly one of the highlights of the night and a perfect ending to the celebration.

We also really appreciated the support from Sam and Kate on the room block. It was during the December holiday season but they were still very responsive and helped us settle down the room block fast.


Overall, we feel incredibly lucky to have had Falynn and her team supporting us. They made what could have been a stressful process feel easy and enjoyable! All our guests and us loved the wedding!

Worth every penny for the best day of my life

I can’t recommend Sunshower enough for wedding planning.

I was excited to work with them from my very first phone call and felt in my bones that I would be in good hands with them.

I loved Alison, who was our planner and worked with us from the very beginning—from helping us draft a budget to designing our dream wedding. I felt that the whole team were very detail oriented and Alison was very accessible, even though we were planning a destination wedding while working in China. Our wedding day was completely stress free, thanks to Sunshower. Alison had planned our wedding itinerary hour by hour, so neither of us had to worry about logistics. And when our an issue came up with our venue two months before our wedding, Kate and Alison were able to talk out a solution with them that made us all happy. I felt supported by the Sunshower team and so excited by the team of vendors they carefully helped us choose. They were worth every penny!!

Worth every penny and more; Incredible Planning Team

We cannot recommend SunShower Weddings highly enough. Working with their team made our wedding planning process manageable, organized, and genuinely stress-free.

We worked primarily with Falynn, whose attention to detail and organizational skills were exceptional. She provided excellent on-island vendor recommendations, helped refine our design ideas, and was consistently available throughout the planning process. Every vendor we hired through SunShower’s recommendations exceeded our expectations.
SunShower also offers an outstanding planning framework. Their website includes vetted vendor lists, timelines, budget trackers, spreadsheets, and shared documents that made it easy to stay organized and customize our wedding. What initially felt like an overwhelming project quickly became structured and approachable with their guidance.

For our service level, my spouse and I handled early planning and vendor selection following SunShower’s timeline. As the wedding approached, the team gradually assumed more responsibility, and by the final six weeks, everything felt fully managed. This transition made a significant difference — in the two months leading up to our wedding, I never felt stressed and trusted that details were being handled behind the scenes.

On the wedding day, everything ran smoothly. The team coordinated vendors, managed setup and breakdown, and ensured the day flowed effortlessly. They were always available when needed while remaining unobtrusive, which allowed us to stay fully present. A special highlight was having Kate, the owner, bring great energy during photos, which truly enhanced the experience.

SunShower Weddings was absolutely worth the investment. They are professional, efficient, and highly capable. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone planning a wedding in Hawaiʻi.

Perfection!

Cami with Sunshower Weddings was absolutely amazing to work with! Planning a wedding on the Big Island could have been overwhelming, but Cami made the entire process feel effortless and personalized. She did an excellent job utilizing Sunshower’s expansive planning tools and incorporating our ideas to create a truly beautiful experience. She is incredibly organized, responsive, and truly cares about every detail. From vendor coordination to timeline management, everything ran smoothly and stress-free. Her local knowledge of the Big Island was invaluable, and she brought our vision to life even better than we imagined. Our wedding day was beautiful, seamless, and full of joy thanks to Cami and her team. We are so grateful for her expertise and kindness and would highly recommend Sunshower Weddings to any couple planning a Hawaii wedding!

making a destination wedding feel like home!

Sunshower Weddings did a truly amazing job with helping us have the wedding day of our dreams, that totally exceeded all my expectations. If you’re getting married on the Big Island, this company is a must! Shout out to Alison or day of coordinator, who not only made sure our special day ran smooth and stress free, but also helped us with planning hours along the way. People though planning a destination wedding would be hard, but Alison made it incredibly easy. Everything fell into place perfectly. She knows this island and the other vendors like the bac of her hand, and the other vendors have nothing but GREAT things to say about Sunshower Weddings in general. I can’t say enough positive things about this wonderful company, who helped make us feel so at home on the Big Island!

Wedding Room Block

Kate, Samantha, and the rest of the team at Sunshower Weddings and Events are truly awesome! If you're getting married on the Big Island, please consider reaching out to them!

Sunshower helped me with securing a wedding room block for our guests. They can help with room blocks even if you're not a wedding planning/coordination client! And, at no cost to you!

Samantha and Kate were great! They have excellent relationships with many hotels (which was incredibly helpful for me since I grew up on the Hilo side of the island and am not familiar with any of the hotels in Kona). They explained how a wedding room block works and recommended hotels close to our wedding venue. Once I gave them our guest estimate and our short list of hotels, they went to work contacting the hotels for quotes and even asked about wheelchair accessibility (which was a very important consideration for me). And they negotiated an AMAZING rate with the hotel we ultimately chose!

Samantha and Kate were accommodating and very patient with me. I had so many questions and thoughts (so much so that I was definitely concerned that I was being a huge pain), but they were always kind and reassuring through the entire process.

I would highly recommend Sunshower Weddings and Events to help secure you wedding room block. They are incredibly professional, thorough, and patient. They made the whole process so easy. Thank you Kate, Samantha, and Sunshower!!

100/10, Sunshower Weddings is a MUST for planning your wedding on Big Island! From start to finish, their team was phenomenal, and we can’t recommend

We weren’t sure if we wanted to have our wedding on Big Island, but after our first call with Kate, it was clear that her team was invaluable and we were sure they were the team we wanted to work with. During the planning process, you can trust Sunshower to ensure your timeline, budget, and tasks are on track. They bring SO much value with their expertise and knowledge of the island, vendors, and wedding timelines. Kate was so informative with her advice and was dedicated to bringing our vision to life. She advocated for our wants every step of the way. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how attentive, friendly, and on top of everything their staff was on the wedding day. When I realized we couldn’t do our first dance in the dress I was planning to, Kate immediately reassured me and adjusted the timeline to accommodate a dress change, without anyone noticing the hiccup, and took away any stress that we were feeling. We can’t imagine our wedding without them, and we’re still hearing from guests that it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended. We could go on and on about how Sunshower Weddings is the BEST choice for wedding planning on Big Island. We can’t emphasize enough how valuable their expertise of the island is.

Thank you again Kate & team for helping us have the wedding of our dreams!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
