  Gabby makes dreams come true!

  My fiancé and I were engaged in Dec 2019 and I first spoke to Gabby in Feb 2020 as she was highly recommended by our Oahu venue. We just started planning and hadn't pinned down our venue but then COVID hit. We had decided a year into the pandemic it was time to pick up on wedding planning again. We opted for an intimate destination wedding and I immediately reached out to Gabby once we booked the Four Seasons Ko Olina. I chose her month of coordination package best suited our needs for a small wedding.
  
  Gabby is kind, experienced, and gracious with her time. She is adaptable and understands the wedding process inside and out. Later in the planning, I called her my wedding lawyer because she truly represented us as a couple and stood for our best interest when we had issues with restrictions and vendors. She understands the concerns in budgeting and is a great resource to reference pricing and throughly review vendor contracts. Due to COVID restrictions, we were forced to make adjustments even just a week before the wedding. Gabby was truly empathetic to our situation when I felt like having our event was hopeless. She provided options/ contingencies and in the end, we had a very fun and smooth wedding day. Our friends even contacted her to help coordinate surprise entertainment at the wedding as a gift. The whole thing was a complete surprise and went off without a hitch. I provided guidance on general decor/ preferences as well as took time to discuss her detailed timeline and checklists but Gabby really did the work to make a beautiful event happen.
  
  One thing I wanted to mention which is a more personal note to Gabby's work and personality is her compassion and warmth. Just before I walked down the aisle, she was prepping me for my entrance and she said "I can't believe we're finally here". Due to so many changes, I thought we might never have this wedding and this simple statement triggered my tears of happiness. Needless to say, Gabby is a pleasure work with and someone you want in your corner when navigating the wedding industry. I highly recommend her and her amazing team to anyone planning a wedding or event on the islands!

  Best wedding planner in Hawaii

  Where do I even begin. Gabby was absolutely amazing. I can't say enough great things about her. She captured every detail and made our wedding so beautiful. I was very afraid of planning this wedding in Hawaii since I live in Atlanta. I wouldn't be able to meet vendors in person but she made the whole process very smooth and got us a discount with many vendors. Very organized and detail oriented. If you want a beautiful wedding contact her for your Hawaii wedding. The wedding was beyond my expectations. Thank you so much Gabby.

  No amount of thank you's can describe how grateful we are to have found Gabby and her amazing team!!
  
  From the moment she responded so quickly to our inquiry up until the day-of, Gabby has been a god-send!! She is very meticulous and suggested details we had never thought to include.
  
  Gabby is very professional, patient and attentive with our many questions and changes. We really appreciated the fact that she reviewed all of our vendor contracts with a fine-toothed comb and noticed things we missed.
  
  Our wedding day went very smoothly and everyone raved about perfect everything was!!
  
  Thank you so very much to Gabby and her team at Bella Weddings & Events for making our event one we will never forget!!! :)

  I cannot say enough great things about Gabby and the Bella Weddings & Events Team! From the conception to completion, Gabby was there every step of the way to ensure our wedding day was everything we had dreamed.
  
  Planning a wedding from over 4,000 miles away can be a bit daunting, but Gabby was patient with every question I had and was quick to provide knowledgable insight and professional guidance for every possible scenario. Everything from weather contingency plans down to how to trim a monstera leaf to lay down properly - she knew it all.
  
  When the big day finally arrived, it was such a sense of calm and peace knowing that Gabby and her team had everything handled. The day was absolutely perfect and was everything we had hoped for and dreamed of. In true event planner fashion, any and all hiccups were handled quickly and quietly and my husband and I were never the wiser.
  
  A wedding coordinator is a must and is worth every single penny. I owe the success of the day entirely to Gabby and her team! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I can only hope our paths cross again in the near future. Thank you Gabby!!

  Gabby and her Team were amazing. I was in the transition of moving before the wedding, she did not let me stress one bit. I was in the mainland planning my wedding in Hawaii. She was always punctual and always got back to me on time, sent me samples and different choices to choose from in a timely manner, she always did monthly follow ups with me over the phone and or in person, she always made sure and reminded me of my deadlines and what I was missing. When my wedding day came everything came out to what I wanted and more it was the most beautiful wedding I had in my life. I didn't stress one bit at all, all the vendors and everything fell through beautifully.

  Everyone needs a Gabby.

  Where do I begin about Gabby. Honestly, we were so beyond impressed about Gabby that I wish she’d be by my side, planning my entire life for me. Everyone needs a Gabby.
  
  From the very beginning, Gabby stood out against other wedding planners by sharing with me her wedding portfolio, which had inspiration boards and organized information/details of her past clients with photos and descriptions. This gave me a good idea of her decor style and how organized she was. I was looking for someone who had similar style as mine and also an “eye” for design. Gabby is everything and above! I also enjoyed that she was tech savvy and knew how to navigate google drive and other softwares which adds lots of points in my book. The thing that stood out the most to me was her attention to detail, (she’s pretty much perfect all the time), her ridiculous memory (she remembers side comments I made from months before), and her patience under extreme pressure and time constraints.
  
  Planning for a destination wedding is not easy. I’m a very hands on and visual person so not being able to see a lot of the items could have been challenging but Gabby made me feel reassured that it would turn out nicely. We came to visit the island once before the wedding and because we were only there for 3 days, Gabby managed to organize visits with 9 vendors within those days. Can you believe that? 9 vendors in 3 days?! Not only that, but because I ordered a lot of things on Etsy, Gabby let me ship them all to her house and kept track of everything as they arrived. She was so sweet and even helped me stick labels on my bubble gifts for my guests. There was a snag with the guest cards a few days before the wedding and Gabby calmly searched for another solution and quickly got everything printed and handled for us.
  
  I was very particular with my vision and things that I wanted. Im not always like that, but I mean, you only get married once right? Gabby managed to make my vision come to life and it was beyond anything that I could’ve imagined. I went with every vendor she referred and I was so impressed by all of them. I’ve been to many weddings and the food is usually not memorable or sub-par. The food from Memoirs was, I kid you not, one of the best meals of my life. And this was after we had a cake tasting! I got tons of feedback from my guests that they loved the food. Flower Girls executed my vision of hanging flower prisms perfectly and A Cake Life made some of the most beautiful desserts I’ve ever seen.
  
  I can honestly say that my wedding at Loulu Palm was the most perfect day of our lives and all of it is thanks to Gabby. The whole day went smoothly and the weather was perfect even though thunderstorms were on the forecast. I seriously felt like dad was watching us from up above and made sure it didn’t rain that day. Gabby’s team ensured the schedule ran well with no snags and she even came to bring us drinks a few times. When it was all over, Gabby and team cleaned up and packed all my decorations back into their original boxes. They did such a good job packing that it didn’t even look like they were opened!
  
  As you can see, I can’t rave enough about Gabby. I wish I could get married all over again just so that we could work together. Gabby is honestly the best out there and wouldn’t hesitate to refer her to anyone we know!

  Sorry for the long review, but Gabby is too awesome for a few short sentences:
  
  I was never the girl who has dreamed of her wedding day. My husband and I also decided to get married in the midst of the pursuit of graduate degrees, one of which required significant international travel.
  Enter Bella Wedding and Events. I knew a wedding planner was an absolute must and we interviewed several people as we searched for the right one.
  
  As soon as I spoke with Gabby I knew she was the one. Not only was she extremely professional and confident, but her calm, soothing demeanor also reassured me that she was the woman for the job.
  
  As we planned the wedding I was thankful for Gabby every step of the way. She worked consistently to keep me focused in the midst of the crazy travel and demanding school work. Gabby also kept the wedding expenses within the established budget.
  
  On our wedding day, my husband and I were completely wowed! Our wedding was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. The flowers, linens, lighting and other elements blended flawlessly. The vendors that Gabby recommended for photography, videography, and music were consummate professionals. By the end of the event, the vendors felt like long-term friends or family members.
  
  Gabby and her team are insanely talented. I am so glad that I found them. My wedding was a fabulous and remarkable unstressful day due to the efforts of Gabby and her team.
  
  Essentially Gabby is AMAZING.

  Amazing Team & Outstanding Service

  We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding coordinator! Gabby and her team at Bella Weddings and Events are truly first class. We have been to several events throughout the past year and can’t help but compare them to the outstanding service we found in BWE. Our expectations for this day were set very high and Gabby met and exceeded all of them. Her organization, meticulous planning, leadership, and communication made this very stressful day successful and put us at ease allowing us to enjoy the time with our family and friends. As a very OCD couple, we like to plan everything to the “T” and plan early; Gabby was willing to work tirelessly a year out to make sure everything was of the highest caliber. Despite having several clients at a time, she always made us feel like we were the priority and addressed every one of our concerns. Bella Weddings and Events is truly the best company we could’ve found to plan this special day and give them our highest recommendation!

  Gabriella was incredible in her impressive level of service and precision as the day-of planner for our 75-person wedding in September. She combed through our vendor contracts, corrected errors and gaps, organized and managed the venue, vendors & set up on the day, and guided us and our families through the wedding day seamlessly.
  
  She is calm and personable, and made it her mission to make our day absolutely perfect. As a detail-oriented person myself, I can’t imagine not having her sort out the unforeseen questions and direct the timeline on the day.
  
  Thanks so much to Gabby and her team - she was the best decision we made and we can’t recommend Bella Weddings & Events enough!

  Where do we even start with this amazing woman? Not only did Gabby go above and beyond the call of duty, but her eye for detail and style, her genuine care and desire to make your dreams come true, not only make her the perfect wedding planner, but we now consider her a part of our family. To say we would recommend her is the biggest understatement imaginable. We would instead say, that there should be no other choice but Gabby when it comes to creating your perfect day. We love her dearly...

  Gabby is awesome! We used her day of coordinator services and it was totally worth it. Her vendor recommendations were so good, she's the best communicator I've ever worked with, so organized, so on it, and had so many great tips. She has a special process for the rings in the ceremony that we would have never thought of. Gabby kept the groom calm and I know she dealt with some behind the scenes chaos that I'm so glad I don't know about and I didn't have to deal with ha! I loved the timelines and checklist; she works through every detail. Gabby really made our wedding day perfect. Truly the best day ever! I highly recommend her services.

I loved the timelines and checklist; she works through every detail. Gabby really made our wedding day perfect. Truly the best day ever! I highly recommend her services.

  I cannot offer a high enough praise or recommendation for Gabriella Kawamoto and Bella Weddings and Events. Gabby is one of the most diligent, detail oriented, hard working and organized people I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Her work made my wedding planning effortless, providing me with all of the information and recommendations I needed and effectuating all of the necessary coordination and communications.
  
  Gabby was such a pleasure to work with through the entire planning process and I would now consider her not only my wedding planner but my friend. Our wedding was logistically complicated and Gabby planned every detail to a point where it was executed flawlessly on our special day. On top of her coordination abilities, Gabby truly understood my stylistic vision and everything turned out more beautiful than I ever could have imagined!
  
  By our wedding day I felt so confident in Gabby's work and abilities that I was truly able to let go and do nothing but enjoy! I had mentally prepared myself that several things would probably not go as planned at our wedding, but lo and behold, everything went perfectly!
  
  If you are looking for a wedding planner I enthusiastically recommend that you pick Bella Weddings and Events! You will be a very happy bride!

  Where to even begin to say how amazing Gabby is. From the initial phone consultation to the final gift being loaded in to our getaway car, Gabby was an absolute professional and was the best decision I ever made with this whole wedding! My fiance was on military deployment for a lot of the planning process so it was up to Gabby and I to plan the whole event. I hired Bella Weddings to help with the full service of planning our wedding and I am so glad I did.
  
  From the beginning, Gabby was conscious of our budget and had forward thinking from the start about how best to allocate the budget to the most important items. She knew when to hold back and when to give me a little nudge and just go for things. We ended up going over our budget due to some choices my fiancé was desperate to have but Gabby worked with us the whole way through.
  
  All I said to her was "travel / airplane theme" and she took that and worked out the most gorgeous designs that were just the right amount of theming. Her vision is impeccable and she does not miss a thing when it comes to the details. She asked me at the start how I prefer to keep in touch (emails, text etc) and has her communication skills down to a science.
  
  She picked the best vendors and on the day, everything was absolutely more that I could have ever imagined. She had everything so well prepared that I didn't have to worry about anything on the day. Her team was great on the day and I didn't even notice them running around making sure everything was perfect, they were so stealth!
  
  So many of my guests have told me it really was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to and although I am biased, I totally agree!!
  
  Thank you for making 10.22.2016 a day to remember for everyone who particip

  We originally thought a day-of-coordinator wouldn't be necessary for our small 30-person wedding. Hiring Gabby, however, was one of the best decisions we made. To start things off, we planned our wedding from the mainland and although we were very familiar with Oahu, having Gabby available to communicate with local vendors eased our level of anxiety. Gabby was able to use her experience in the business to make solid recommendations with wedding details and vendors that jived with the style of wedding we were going for. Gabby is has top-notch organizational skills and her attention to detail and personable demeanor makes her very easy to work with. Our wedding day plans were executed flawlessly. In fact, Gabby was able to gracefully accommodate an extremely last minute (<24 hour) change to the guest list in order to make it happen. It was very clear by speaking with the other vendors that they looked forward to working with her on the day-of. We highly recommend Gabby for her services to future couples that are on the fence about hiring her. She is reasonably priced and will get the job done. What more can you ask for.

  What a wonderful day! All thanks to Gabby & her team. Gabby has exceptional planning and preparation skills. Planning our wedding with Gabby went with ease. She certainly knows what she’s doing and how to stay on top of things, while making great recommendations along the way. Gabby and her team executed our vision to the point and even went above and beyond our expectations. I can't thank her and her team enough, we had an absolutely unforgettable event!

  Where do I even begin with Gabby?? She is the reason our wedding went off without a single hitch. From our very first conversation, I felt comfortable with her and knew she would take great care of us. She even customized my package to include a "contracts review and payment schedule" option. It was so helpful as I am unfamiliar with standard wedding contracts and I felt at ease knowing someone with experience was looking out for us.
  
  Flash forward to a few days before the wedding (this was a destination wedding planned from Michigan), and we finally got to meet in person! I was amazed with her organization and "type A" planning - it made me happy :) We were quite scattered, but she quickly outlined the last few items we needed to get in order.
  
  The wedding rehearsal went well and she was able to add a very last minute touch that brought the whole tablescape together, DURING our rehearsal! Lifesaver. She beautifully executed my vision, including putting together an amazing rustic/chic/vintage donut table. From the dining canopies, to the wicker chargers, donut table to the Polaroid/props sign in table... It. Was. Perfection.
  
  I cannot recommend Gabby enough for her patience, attention to detail, and expertise. She is grace under fire and am so grateful to have had her by my side through the entire process. Thank you so much, Gabby. Truly.

  We hired Gabby for day-of coordination, and it was one of the best decisions we could have made. I had contacted other coordinators, but some of them took days, weeks, and even months to reply. Gabby, however, promptly replied to my emails and followed up with me when she said she would. In fact, when we had our first meeting with her, we learned that she had been in the ER the night before, but she refused to cancel our appointment, saying that it was important that she show up. Although we wished that she would have stayed home that day, this just demonstrated her hard work and commitment to her clients.
  After that, Gabby helped us with so much. Gabby had worked for various wedding vendors (such as catering, décor, flowers, and coordination) before starting her own business, and her experience in the wedding industry clearly showed. She was able to answer our questions, offer suggestions, and ask us questions that we did not think to ask. I am a meticulous person, but Gabby’s attention to detail was superb.
  On the day of the wedding, we were able to relax and let go of trying to manage everything, because we trusted Gabby to deliver. Gabby was nice and friendly to everyone, but firm when things needed to get done. When things did not go exactly as planned (due to things outside of her control), she was calm and collected in front of us, but behind the scenes, she was hard at work problem solving. Gabby is down to Earth and mellow, yet she seeks perfection in everything she does.
  If you haven’t found a wedding coordinator you love, or if you’re on the fence about whether to hire a coordinator, I sincerely suggest that you hire Gabby. Although a wedding is just a one-day event, wedding planning is a long process that can ultimately shape how your wedding day unfolds. From start to finish, Gabby made sure that our wedding experience was everything we wanted it to be and we can’t thank her enough.

  After speaking with several coordinators, another one was unavailable and recommended Gabby..and boy, am I glad she did!! We were having a small destination wedding (12 people total) and being a super laid back bride, I didn't care about all the fuss, I just wanted someone to tell me when to walk down the beach. Gabby did that and so much more!! Although I had many of my vendors chosen before I contacted Gabby, it was reassuring that she had great things to say about those vendors. If I had a question about anything, at any point during the planning process, she was there to quickly answer it. I'm sure that I frustrated her at times because I was so care free, but she always went above and beyond. On the day of the wedding, when she arrived at our house, she was loaded down with decor from her own vow renewal the week before and took our dinner table up 12 notches! It looked amazing and way better than I could have imagined! There was one thing we didn't want to budge on with the first look timeline, and she somehow made it work perfectly! The day went so smoothly, all thanks to Gabby and her amazing assistant! Although Gabby was friends with our photographer (Bianca Photography) they hadn't worked together much, and neither had worked with our videographer, but they all worked amazingly together! Our family kept talking about how stress free and great the day was, and I have Gabby to thank for that! If you're planning on Oahu, do yourself a favor and go with Gabby, she will make your life so much easier! Mahalo, Gabby!!

  Gabby was an amazing partner to work with for my wedding this past March at Turtle Bay Resort! My now-husband and I met Gabby after interviewing several coordinators, and we loved Gabby's down-to-earth yet detail-oriented personality. I had locked down my vendors before I met Gabby, but her references still came in handy. Even though Gabby was technically a "day-of" coordinator for us, she started becoming involved two months beforehand and really took over from a month before. We were planning our wedding from the San Francisco Bay Area, and it was very helpful to have a person in Hawaii as we got closer to the date. I was very thankful to have Gabby since there were a number of hiccups that took place (e.g. rain on the day of, so we had to go to plan B for the ceremony), and her thoughtful and low-key personality was so reassuring to have. She was able to proactively take care of issues so that I didn't have to worry about them on the day of, and she was also patient with my many questions ranging from whether I should have a receiving line to doing a first look. I would highly recommend anyone who is planning their wedding in Hawaii to go with Gabby - in fact, I have already recommended her to a few friends since I think she will make any wedding go smoothly!

  If you are in the hunt for a wedding coordinator search no further because this is the best in the business. Gabby handled all of our wedding needs and left us feeling comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole wedding experience. Being a destination wedding and not having the ability to see the location or decor in person, we had concerns. Gabby alleviated every concern we had with the destination wedding and went far and beyond our expectations as a wedding coordinator. It was very apparent she listened to every detail we discussed about the wedding and made our dream wedding become reality. She has excellent communication skills and responds to emails/calls immediately. Gabby made it a point to keep us informed on every detail and had back up plans already in place when something didn't work out. Not only is Gabby an excellent wedding coordinator but she is an amazing down to earth person who we enjoyed spending time with. Gabby really cares about keeping you stress free, happy and satisfied.This has truly been a wonderful experience and we couldn't have done it without the hard work of Gabby.

  Words cannot express my gratitude to Gabby! My husband and I wanted a simple, fun and intimate beach wedding but planning from a different state only added more challenge. One of the first things we did was searching for a wedding coordinator and we were extremely blessed to have found Gabby. She has made our wedding planning so pleasant since day 1 with her promptness and expertise. She genuinely cares about making your dream wedding a reality! We booked other vendors such as floral, DJ, bartender, Photo Booth and etc, ALL based on Gabby's recommendations and couldn't have had a better team on our wedding day. The wedding day was PERFECT! Everything was running flawlessly! We were stressed free and were able to enjoy ourselves on one of the most important days of our lives. That's how every couple should feel! All of our guests were impressed with the wedding and thought it was the BEST wedding they have been to and we couldn't agree more! Ok, so enough with the bragging about how amazing our wedding was. Our point is: do yourselves a favor and book Gabby immediately before she gets booked up! You will not find a more trustworthy and responsible wedding coordinator.

  Gabby was definitely a blessing in disguise for us. At first we were confident we could pull everything off without a coordinator, but boy were we wrong. Gabby jumped in from day 1 and started organizing everything for us, gathering contracts, answering emails, and making sure everything was accounted for. She showed her experience and attention to detail when she noticed we were missing things that no one else had seen. Not only that but she went above and beyond to meet with us and our other vendors on such a short notice. Fast forward to the day of... Gabby was there first thing in the morning, meeting vendors and answering my countless last minute text messages. Once we arrived on site, everything was running smoothly and things were set up just as we discussed. Nothing was missed and because of that our day went off without a hitch. Gabby's help is priceless and her experience and knowledge only add to her value. Thank you again for everything!

  Gabby was definitely a blessing in disguise for us. At first we were confident we could pull everything off without a coordinator, but boy were we wrong. Gabby jumped in from day 1 and started organizing everything for us, gathering contracts, answering emails, and making sure everything was accounted for. She showed her experience and attention to detail when she noticed we were missing things that no one else had seen. Not only that but she went above and beyond to meet with us and our other vendors on such a short notice. Fast forward to the day of... Gabby was there first thing in the morning, meeting vendors and answering my countless last minute text messages.

  Gabby is a true blessing. I was so fortunate to cross paths with Gabby at our catering tasting with Memoirs. At the time she had just been transitioning into her own wedding event company. Talk about perfect timing. She is so knowledgable and has what I thought were the best recommendations in Hawaii. She took the time with me to truly plan and make my dream come true. I planned a destination wedding from California and I can honestly say it was perfect and not an ounce stressful. She walked me through the things I might not have even planned for, took time to help me make the right decisions and our day was a fairytale. She gave us all direction we needed even how to get our marriage license. I only used Gabby for day of but she did SO above and beyond that. She even let me ship a huge box of decorations to her weeks before the wedding. On the wedding day so many guests even recognized how perfect everything was and how sweet she is. Gabby is the best thing that could have ever happen to my wedding day besides my new hubby of course :)

  Gabby was recommended to me by another friend who also planned her destination wedding from Australia to happen on the north shore of Oahu. We attended her wedding which turned out beautiful and well organized and knew Gabby would be our wedding planner. Our experience with Gabby what nothing but exceptional! Since I was planning from Australia, everything was via emails and luckily she was very prompt and always responded back to my many emails quickly. She gave me great advice on great vendors to choose without being pushy. She also always tried to get me a further discount on our vendors which was much appreciated! Gabby made the process much less stressful and took care of everything leading up to the wedding and of course on the day. She always had contact with me and was a great listener to my wants and needs(as all brides have). I found she went above and beyond her duties to make the day perfect and special. One big thing was after a crazy morning of getting ready in our room with all the bridesmaids, we left the room a complete mess and were meant to clean up in order for the bellman to move our things to our honeymoon suite while we were at the wedding. Well of course there was no time for clean up and I thought we would have to come to this mess after the wedding, but she kept hold of our room key and cleaned everything and neatly moved all of our belongings to our honeymoon suite, as well as taking some of our flowers from the reception and decorating our bed and room with our lovely flowers which I thought would go to waste after the wedding. Just amazing! She basically allowed me to be in the moment and enjoy our day while she was in the back scene keeping everything moving smoothly. Great value for money! Would recommend her 100%!
