Truly the best!!

Where do I start? First off? Karen & Lev are amazing at what they do! I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. I was so apprehensive about eloping and putting all my trust in someone to do everything for us on our special day and I am soooooo glad I chose to hire Karen and Lev for our ceremony and photography/videography. Everything was perfect and I didn’t have to worry about a thing, and this is a must when planning a destination wedding!! Karen answered all my questions and was very informative about everything which really put my mind at ease. I definitely would recommend them a thousand times over! If you want a someone you can trust with your special day, look no further! Thank you again for truly making our big day special!

The wedding planner's, wedding planner.

My bride to be has planned dozens of weddings in her hospitality career, but for OUR wedding, it was on me. I reached out to a few select vendors and Karen was the only one to respond personally by telephone. After talking with her for a few minutes, it was clear to me that I didn't need to entertain any other providers. She immediately put me at ease.

Wanting a simple wedding ceremony, with only us and our immediately families in attendance, Karen couldn't have been more helpful. After corresponding with me and asking many questions as to our wishes, she recommended the perfect beach venue with concise directions from our hotel right through to the last speed bump. With all that was required to pull this day off, Karen was extremely detailed in all of the procedures.

Karen was our officiant for our ceremony and the inclusions of the Hawaiian traditions was beautiful. We can't wait for our photographs to come in so we can remember this day, always. If you're looking for a beautiful, intimate wedding ceremony on the Big Island, let Karen handle it.

Oh, and what did my wedding planning bride think of Weddings on Big Island. Amazing!!
