TME's way or no way!

We do not live in Hawaii and were only able to visit once for the site tour. Everything else was done via zoom with Caroline and the TME team. Every email I sent was responded to extremely fast and with an incredible amount of detail. I could not and would not have done it any other way than with them. Words can't describe how perfectly everything came together. I had zero stress with other vendors because Caroline took care of it. She and the day team decorated the whole place to make it look like something you can only dream of. They have tons of weddings to do but they make each and every person feel special and just as important as the next. I absolutely adore them and I want them to plan all my parties in the future!

The Backbone of Our Wedding – We Couldn’t Have Done It Without Them

From the moment we started working with Caroline and Kailyn, I knew we had found something special. Out of all the vendors we spoke with, they immediately stood out for their warmth, professionalism, and ability to really listen. They didn't just offer packages or timelines — they offered peace of mind.

One of the biggest reasons we chose them was how grounded and reassuring they were. I had a lot of anxiety leading up to the wedding — all the moving pieces, the DIY elements, and the inevitable unexpected problems. But Caroline and Kailyn handled everything with such calm confidence. Every hiccup that popped up? They fixed it before I even knew it was a thing. It felt like they had a sixth sense for solving problems quietly and efficiently, which allowed me to actually enjoy the planning process and, more importantly, the day itself.

The day of the wedding was where they truly shined. They brought our vision to life down to the tiniest detail. All of our DIY decor was placed perfectly — exactly how I had imagined it (and better, honestly). I was able to be fully present, knowing they were taking care of everything behind the scenes. And when it came time for clean-up, they didn’t just disappear like many vendors do. They packed everything up with care, ensured nothing was lost or damaged, and even made sure we got our venue deposit back — something I never would’ve thought to double-check in the chaos of the night.

If I had to sum up our experience in one sentence: Caroline and Kailyn were the calm in our chaos and the magic behind the scenes.

Choosing to work with them was, without question, one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I truly can’t recommend them enough.

Book with Brenda

We booked tropical moon events for our wedding in March at Kualoa Ranch. Brenda was our coordinator and was absolutely amazing!!! we cannot recommend her enough. She made our day perfect! Our wedding was a destination wedding and we did not have to worry one bit with Brenda in charge. She has the best personality and her experience and expertise is off the charts. She is absolutely incredible and I would 1000/10 recommend her if you are booking with tropical moon events. you wont regret it!!

The best team

Oh I don’t know where to start. Working with Caroline from Tropical Moon Events as our day-of coordinator was the best decision we made for our wedding! From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly magical. Her attention to detail, organization, and ability to remain calm under pressure were remarkable.

We had 4 meetings before the wedding day, and each time she listened to our vision and executed it perfectly, ensuring every detail was flawless. Whether it was coordinating with vendors or handling last-minute changes, Caroline handled everything with professionalism and grace.

On the wedding day, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Caroline managed the timeline seamlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy our special moments with family and friends. Their warmth, expertise, and genuine care made us feel like we were in the best hands possible.

We couldn’t have done it without Caroline and would highly recommend her and her team to anyone planning a wedding. She is the best from the best team. Thank you very very very much for making our day unforgettable!

Highly Recommend

Working with Caroline at Tropical Moon Events was an amazing experience. She went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs were not only met but exceeded. We had a difficult venue to work with, however Caroline made sure to keep them in line & on track with everything. Throughout the whole process she kept in constant communication with us to make sure we felt like everything was getting done. Days after our wedding we were kinda bummed that we didn't get any physical copies from our Photo Booth, but when we opened up our bag of decor, we found that Caroline made sure to grab a physical copy of each photo that we were in. She made sure to let us know when certain vendors weren't providing what they promised & was able to find a solution. Planning a wedding in a state you're not currently in is a difficult situation, but Caroline made the process so easy. She is amazing, & we would highly recommend working with her & with Tropical Moon Events!

One Month Coordination and Waitstaff

Tropical Moon Events - I did the one month coordination package since I planned most of the wedding myself and just needed someone who could execute the day of. I worked with Brenda and Dania who were both really amazing to work with! Brenda compiled all my notes and met with me weekly one month before the wedding and took care of most of the vendor coordination at that time. Dania and her team were the ones on the ground running the show the day of the wedding. There were a lot of last minute details that she was able to get into the wedding and she was amazing at rolling with the punches. I am a little bit of a type A bride but she made me feel like she had a good handle on everything. At a certain point I had to just let go and let her do her job and they did everything so smoothly! However, if you are bringing some of your own decor please label the items like an inventory, there were some of my items that weren’t returned to me at the end of the night. Have a family member or someone in the wedding party double check at the end of the night!

Bride here! I would give them 10 stars if I could!

Bride here! I would give them 10 stars if I could! Brenda and her team made my day truly magical and stress free. Any hiccups that happened, she let me know about after she had already solved it and I didn't even have to worry. From our first meeting we clicked and it made this planning process so much easier and enjoyable. I also hired their Star Bar and LOVED them too! look no further, you found your wedding planners :) Thank you TME team!!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! They Made Our Wedding Perfect and Better Than We Could Have Ever Imagined!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Me and my wife recommend Dania and her team at Tropical Moon Events 1000%. Dania is very busy because she is really good at what she does and is constantly hustling to make sure your wedding goes exactly how you imagined without putting the stress on you. She gave us multiple recommendations, contacted vendors, found the best prices to fit our budget, is friendly, very easy to communicate with and detail oriented. We didn't have to worry about a thing on our wedding day. If there was a hiccup along the way, she never came to us, she knew our style and what would make us happy and then she made it happen. Her and her team did the exact job that they were hired to do. If you're going to put your money in the right place for your wedding, start right here and book with Tropical Moon Events. They go above and beyond. They took the stress out of our big day, especially not living on the island and planning everything from the mainland, it meant a lot to us how perfect everything was! I hope I don't set the expectations of them too high, but it's kind of hard not to because of the job that they did.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
