Don’t question it, hire them!
Where do we start?!? First, ABC is amazing. We love how they have all the different packages that accommodate all the different types of couples and what they need. We know whatever package we would have chosen, they would have delivered. We chose the basic coordination package because I had planned almost everything already by the time we hired them, for us we hired them as they took over two months out and most importantly, day of. We also added on the “site visit + final rental order + customized layout creation” as we were not going to see our venue till rehearsal day. They made the process seamless and we enjoyed every step of the way.
Second, JAMIE FRIGGEN DUFFIELD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ABC is SO lucky to have her on their team and we are so so so so so so grateful she was assigned as our lead coordinator. I can not get over her process from start to finish from being assigned lead till now. She is so detail oriented, she is so sweet, she is just so on top of everything. She never made us feel like a bother if we needed to text her. If she could handle a task, she was more than happy to and so dang quick about it. As a bride who is very detail oriented myself, we thought I had it pretty well handled but WOW!!!!! Jamie thought of questions and things we would never think of. A couple weeks out rain was forecasted for our wedding day. She called us and discussed our options. Then she executed changing our rentals to accommodate if it does rain and made it very stress free.
She put out the inevitable wedding day fires so fast that we were never stressed. We truly can not say enough nice things about her.
Third, McKenzie the assistant coordinator was amazing as well. She handled the end of the night so seamlessly and we were not stressed about one single thing!!! All our belongings were packed up nicely and anything she was unsure about, she double checked on, which we greatly appreciated.
Our whole wedding was seamless and wonderful because we hired ABC, but 1,000,000% am so happy we were assigned Jamie. She’s a rockstar. Would rate her 1,000,000/10 lol. -

The entire team from Aloha Bridal Connections (ABC) is nothing but AMAZING! We worked mostly with Julie and were so happy with her. We had a vision for our wedding and she took it to the next level. She helped to solidify our ideas, she had direct contact with all of our vendors on a regular basis, kept us on track with our timelines, and pulled off an amazing event! Our wedding was very large (over 550 ppl) and it was super organized without a glitch thanks to the ABC team. Natalie and Sherry helped to keep our bridesmaids and groomsmen stay on cue the day of and handled intricate details for us. Our wedding was over a month ago and I still have people coming up to me talking about our wedding and saying that it's the best wedding they have ever been to; ABC is to thank for that. Julie is extremely knowledgeable and a whiz with spreadsheets. She had us super organized and ready to conquer any hurdles with suggestions and solutions. Everything turned out beautiful. We both highly recommend ABC for your wedding no matter what island you're getting married on. -

Alice T. Sent on 07/09/2023Excellent basic coordination package
ABC was recommended to me by a friend of a friend, and I am very happy with their wedding coordination services! I got the basic coordination package, so I was responsible for booking most of the vendors but handed everything off to ABC at the 2-week mark. ABC has a great website full of vendor recommendations, which made booking vendors easy. All of the vendors that I found through ABC were fantastic! I loved the google sheet template that ABC provided to organize everything. I spoke with a couple different staff members when I was initially booking the package, but as we got a couple months out from the wedding Jamie became my point of contact. She did a wonderful job staying in communication with us, keeping things on track and sending gentle reminders on things I needed to take care of. I was more than happy to hand everything off to her at the 2-week mark and just relax and focus on family and friends arriving from out of town. The wedding itself flowed perfectly; Jamie and her assistant Sadie did a fantastic job keeping everything on track and on time. They even went out of their way to accommodate a very specific timing for a grand entrance that I wanted. I could just relax and enjoy the day because I trusted them to take care of everything behind the scenes.
If you’re planning a wedding, I *highly* recommend getting at least the day-of coordinator services. It was required by our venue, but I don’t see how anyone puts on a wedding without that professional help. I definitely recommend checking out ABC for your coordinator needs to help make your special day run smoothly! -

From start to finish, EVERY member of their team we interacted with made our experience stress free. Our consultation with Lauren sealed the deal. Our welcome call with Julie made us feel comfortable and equipped to plan our wedding independently with ABC guidance. Paulette reassured all of our layout and rental worries. Doni was understanding when I missed an email and emailed her right before a payment was due. Our lead coordinator, Jamie, was absolutely phenomenal, and her day of team - Natalie and Emma made the perfect.
I've always considered myself a very organized person, but I'll be the first to admit that I had no idea what I was doing or where to start. After my initial onboarding call, I received resources and the most detailed wedding planning checklist from ABC that seriously made every other Pinterest to do list seem completely inadequate.
Jamie exceeded all of our expectations. She made me feel confident in the decisions I was making, answered all of my questions and reassured me about all of my concerns. She prioritized to dos and I never felt rushed because she was so on top of deadlines. I was floored at how many weddings she had in front of mine and yet- still made me feel like a priority. Even with her busy schedule helping several other brides, she always responded to me in a reasonable amount of time. She made the month leading up to the wedding the least stressful month of wedding planning. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond to make our day special and stress free. We can't thank her enough for making not only our wedding day, but this entire experience absolutely perfect.
In addition to Jamie, Natalie and Emma assisted in making our wedding day completely seamless. Natalie oversaw setup of our ceremony and reception, where my vision was executed perfectly. Emma closed the night out with us and helped me keep track of important belongings and answering any questions we had at the end of the night.
I will never not recommend ABC Weddings. We cannot thank them enough! -

Choosing ABC for our wedding was the best decision we made! Being able to enjoy the month of my wedding and really soak in my wedding day without any worries truly made my wedding day a day I will never forget. I want to personally thank Sherry for being such a kind, fun to work with coordinator throughout the whole process. She made not only me, but my whole family feel so special! She was so on top of everything from the very beginning. The whole team was also so sweet and was so quick to help with my family and make sure everything went perfectly. Choosing ABC as your coordinator team is well worth every penny spent. Thank you so much ABC Kauai team and especially Sherry! ❤️ Truly the best!

I had the pleasure of working with Mackenzie and Emma from ABC for my wedding at Kualoa Ranch. I found them via a preferred vendor list from Kualoa Ranch and just loved what they offered. I cannot express how amazing they were in the lead up and on the wedding day! ABC provide awesome packages for a great price. I also loved that they took care of all my rentals for me. They were fabulous communicators and very knowledgeable in planning a wedding here in Hawaii. I don't think my wedding would have been successful without them. They are literally my dream wedding coordinators! -

ABC took over a month before the wedding to coordinate with vendors. They took care of any small problems that arose so we did not have to worry about it. Mackenzie, our lead coordinator took the time to meet with us before the wedding to go over everything and answer any questions we had. The team was amazing the day of!! They were so personable, and helped with any and all complications that arose. Many of Our guests said this was the best wedding they have ever been to, and we could not have done it without ABC!! -

Brianne B. Sent on 07/14/2023Organized partnership & Incredible service
If you are looking for an organized, professional, and caring group of wedding coordinators choose ABC. My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Natalie and Mackenzie and WOW, I do not know what we would have done without them.
Throughout the planning process we scheduled many conversations with Natalie, she gave advice, answered all our questions, picked up communication with all vendors 3 months out, and called out any issues with invoices, lack of supplies, etc. Fast forward to the day before and day of our wedding it rained, a bride’s worst nightmare when your wedding is outdoors. Natalie and Mackenzie gave us a pep talk and gave us the confidence we needed to not stress. The day of our wedding Mackenzie was with the wedding party and Natalie was at the venue ensuring all details were executed to plan. In the end, our day was incredible, and we have ABC to thank for allowing us to be in the moment and not have to deal with any of the stresses that come with big events. I highly recommend ABC, the level of care and professionalism was unmatched. Thank you so much Natalie, Mackenzie, and the ABC team!

Best decision we made for our wedding
Many thanks to the ABC team for playing a big part in making our special day so memorable!
Selecting ABC - Our destination wedding was in November 2022 and we began our planning process in January 2022 (we were planning our wedding from California). Our first step was to find a coordination team. After sending out multiple inquiry emails to various companies, we landed on our final 2 choices. We were very impressed after our very first meeting with Lauren - super professional, knowledgeable, and personable. The other company was highly recommended to us by a friend and had a huge social media presence. After meeting with the owner, we never received a follow up - we took this as a bad first sign from a wedding coordination company. We decided to go with ABC and we’re so glad that we did!
Planning process - I am very much a planner and an organized person. I usually enjoy planning events, but I found wedding planning to be very overwhelming and stressful. I truly could not have survived wedding planning without ABC’s help. The Google Sheet they provided helped me organize all my vendor, payment, and guest info. Having the timeline at my fingertips was very helpful. Also, the monthly checklist was such a great guide! It was so easy to shoot the team an email or schedule a call for any questions. All of our vendors had nothing but great things to say about ABC - it was reassuring to know that they are highly regarded by the Hawaii wedding community and that we were in good hands.
Day of coordination - Leisha was our lead coordinator for our wedding day and she was excellent! We could not have asked for a better coordinator. Our wedding party and family could not have been more impressed by her leadership. There were some hiccups throughout the day (as expected), but I didn’t even hear about them until the next day. Leisha made our day run so seamlessly; everything just flowed so smoothly! We truly didn’t have to worry about anything at all during our wedding. Everything was set up and taken care of for us and all we had to think about was enjoying our day.
I can go on and on with never ending great things to say about the ABC team. I would highly recommend the Signature package for anyone is looking for some guidance with wedding planning, flexibility with choosing/communicating with vendors, and a stress-free/worry-free day of coordination.
Mahalo ABC team for EVERYTHING and a special shout out to Leisha for being such a pro at what she does! -

Shamini P. Sent on 12/29/2022Best wedding planners ever!
ABC is a must have, hands down best wedding planning service that all couples should hire, especially for a Hawaiian wedding! If you are busy professionals trying to plan a destination wedding, look no further as this is the group to trust your dream wedding to!!
Keyah was our lead coordinator and we both couldn't have asked for a more invested, kind hearted, hard working wedding planner like her. She constantly went above and beyond and truly made our process smooth and stress free. In fact, so many moments I called her my JLo (from wedding planner :)) because that's just how amazing she was! Lauren is by far the most professional business owner we have ever had the pleasure to meet, and I think what especially blew us away was hers and her team's professionalism and ability to handle difficult situations without allowing us to get caught up in the stress of the moment. I think that takes a very unique group of personalities and I truly believe this can only be found within this team.
Last but least, if you are very busy and planning your wedding in Hawaii as a destination spot, we would highly recommend the Elite package. This package is worth every dollar as the team takes over every detail, interaction with vendors, etc alleviating so much stress off the couple, especially when they don't have much time to do these details by themselves. If you are a bride searching for a group and basically going off of word of mouth and reading this, look no further. I was just like you and didn't know who I could trust and all I can say is I'm SOOO glad I found this group and we went with them. You will not be disappointed, not only did we have a fairytale wedding but the day truly turned out to be more magical than we could have even imagined and we owe it to ABC!!!!! Sign with them today!! -

Charmaine P. Sent on 09/25/2022Wedding was FLAWLESS, thanks to ABC!
If you are looking to have your destination wedding in Hawaii, look no further... ABC is THE best for planning and coordinating your wedding, hands down!!! From the beginning of planning your wedding all the way to the actual ceremony, ABC was there for us every step of the way and they are WORTH EVERY PENNY!! My husband and I are from California and we wanted someone to help us with the wedding coordination. We also had NO idea where to even start when it came to coordinating a wedding. ABC did an excellent job of giving us spreadsheets, checklists, vendor lists, expense tracker, Google Drive folders, and everything we needed to stay on top of our wedding planning! Our coordinator Brittany Wright was INCREDIBLE and was so professional and friendly throughout the process. Mind you, I can be a Type A, OCD person when it comes to planning events (especially my own wedding LOL), but Brittany was so kind, understanding, and professional the whole way through. She responded to my emails and texts very quickly and also was available for 15 minute calls here and there if I had additional questions.
The BEST part is that about 10 days out from the actual wedding day, ABC and Brittany completely took over the planning and served as the main point of contact between all the vendors. I cannot tell you how WORTH IT this was!!!! By the time the wedding actually happened, I was shocked that literally EVERYTHING happened flawlessly.
I was stunned because so many of my friends and family told me things like, "You won't have time to eat" or "Something always goes wrong at a wedding." Shockingly... NOTHING WENT WRONG. We were ON-POINT with the timeline. We were punctual. Nothing was off schedule. Brittany even gave us an ENTIRE HOUR for me and my husband to eat our lunch (we had a day wedding), without interruption. Brittany even told the VENDORS to take breaks!!!!
It's clear to me how much Brittany and ABC actually cares about the people they work with -- vendors, bride/groom, family, EVERYONE!
On the day of the wedding, we also had help from Jamie who helped check in on me and my husband frequently throughout the day to make sure we had everything we needed. Jamie and Brittany were able to save us appetizers, entrees, and desserts before they were all eaten up LOL!! They are THE BEST!!
I felt almost guilty for having a literally FLAWLESS wedding lol!! I never thought it could be possible, but it truly is!!! YOU MUST hire ABC lol!! They are worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!!!! -

Meloney B. Sent on 11/02/2022Best wedding decision!
One of the best wedding decisions I made was bringing on the ABC team! I planned my Hawaii wedding from Michigan. I knew nothing and jumped into it completely blind - enter ABC ready to answer all of our wedding questions and offer suggestions! We picked their day of coordination package. They helped us understand what to look for in vendors, what activities needed to completed and helped us learn what to know about getting married in Hawaii. We we're never alone in our planning. We had a lot of coordination calls with them where we walked through our plans as they developed (timeline, layout, parking, decor, setup, logistics). You can literally ask them anything and Natalie was so caring. She understood all the stress and what we were feeling. About a month before the wedding they took over communications with our vendors and finalized all our choices. Their day of coordination was incredible, they took care of it all and they really know what they're doing. You can trust everything to them, relax and end joy your big day!! Our wedding was amazing, thanks in large to ABC. -

Pajouablai M. Sent on 11/23/2022Hire ABC Weddings ASAP - you won't regret it!
Best decision ever was hiring the ABC team to assist with vendor recommendations and day-of coordination. Kelly was our lead and on point every step of the way! We chose ABC because we knew they would provide a team of 5+ people to handle everything vs other coordinators who said they only had one person to manage. We could not have been happier with Kelly and her team. They handled everything from the 1-month mark to the rehearsal to set up and clean up of the day. We are so grateful for them and would hire again if we had to redo our wedding! -

Leisha was an absolute lifesaver and sweetheart. I'm sure she had a lot more planning from other customers but she always made me feel like I was the only one. My wedding was a dream and she made sure every single part of the planning went as planned. Thank you ABC! -

Bree I. Sent on 11/06/2022Look no further, you have the BEST Coordinators Here
If you need the best wedding planners who are not only on top of every detail, but know how to make your wedding run smoothly, they are it! I could not think of a better group to help plan and coordinate. They have the best connections with vendors and timelines to make sure you have everything you need or even weren't thinking of to check off. As a producer and event planner, I am very particular and hard for me to trust most, and it was the easiest with Kelly and the team. They are pros and made me feel at ease, even when things changed last minute too. They also took such care and thoughtful consideration with difficult family members. You are truly in the best hands with them. -
