We got married in Hawaii this year, and working with Julie and Nicole was an absolute dream. From start to finish, they made the entire process seamless, organized, and stress-free. They were always available over email to answer questions promptly, and they planned everything well in advance with incredible attention to detail.
Both Julie and Nicole were present on the day of the ceremony, ensuring everything ran smoothly so we could truly enjoy every moment. They have such warm, fun personalities—it was a joy to finally meet them in person and share our special day together.
Planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming, but they made it feel effortless. We were genuinely surprised by how simple and easy the process was thanks to their professionalism and experience. We couldn’t recommend them more highly to any couple planning a wedding in Hawaii.

We cannot say enough amazing things about Nicole and the entire team at Best Day Ever! From the very first consultation to the final send-off at our Oahu wedding, Nicole was an absolute dream to work with. Planning a destination wedding can be stressful, but Nicole made the entire process smooth, fun, and totally stress-free.
She was organized, thoughtful, and always one step ahead. Nicole truly listened to our vision and brought it to life more beautifully than we could have ever imagined. Every detail was perfectly executed—from the stunning venue setup to the flawless timeline coordination. Our guests were in awe, and we were able to just soak in the magic of the day without a single worry.
Nicole's warmth, professionalism, and passion for what she does really shines through. She made us feel so supported and cared for throughout the entire planning journey, and it’s clear she genuinely loves making her clients' wedding dreams come true.
If you’re planning a wedding on Oahu and want someone who will go above and beyond, look no further. Nicole and Best Day Ever truly live up to their name. We had the best day ever—thanks to them!

Incredible!
Kristina and Nicole were amazing! Friends and family kept asking me how wedding planning was going and they were so surprised when I told them it was great and I had zero stress. Best Day Ever really made it an easy stress free process. Our day was beautiful and everything I could have ever imagined! I would do it a hundred more times if I could. Thank you BDE!! -

I would highly recommend Nicole and her Team as they were very professional and organized. I worked closely with Kristina in planning our wedding. She made the whole process stress-free and easy. She gathered all the quotes from vendors and all we had to do was choose. On the wedding day all we had to do was show up everything was set up beautifully, I highly recommend their services -

Best day ever was the best wedding planners we could have asked for. We spent a year planning our wedding in Oahu, never actually having set foot in Oahu, which made for a bit of a challenge. However, the best day ever team’s expertise (thank u Nicole and Kayla) eased so much of our stresses! We had an initial FaceTime meeting where we discussed our dream wedding and how BDE could help us fit it into our budget. We then communicated over email over the course of a few months. BDE was so patient and kind and flexible especially with our multitude of questions and also the changes we made throughout the planning process from finding the right vendors to all the minute details. Truly a one-of-a-kind experience.
The actual day of was such a breeze (no pun intended as it was windy). We had little to no stress as BDE took the reins and gave us a timeline and map the previous week to distribute to our guests and our bridal party. On the day of, they set up everything and managed even with the weather! If we had to do it all over again (and I hope not), they would still be the choice we made! Thank you so much for the most memorable day of our lives. -

Erika Sent on 03/08/2024The KEY to the perfect wedding is Best Day Ever!
Nicole is the best wedding planner we could've asked for!! She helped us plan the most perfect wedding from thousands of miles away. She was prompt with her responses and clear with her communication! Nicole put together a list of vendors to choose from that was complete, but not overwhelming, with her own personal recommendations based on what she learned about us throughout the planning process. She also worked closely with us to personalize our wedding day timeline to prioritize moments that we cared about most (lots of dancing and time with guests!). We never wondered where we were supposed to be on our wedding day because she guided us and executed our timeline so seamlessly. Our wedding weekend ended up being super windy, but Nicole was on top of it and made last minute adjustments that made our special day even better than it was originally planned to be. We can't recommend her and her team enough because our wedding day was truly the BEST DAY EVER!! -

Truly was the Best Day Ever!
I'm so glad I found Best Day Ever to help plan and execute our micro wedding on Oahu! Nicole and her team are such wonderful and accommodating people, they're truly are the best! They're are the nicest people you'll ever work with while planning your wedding, we trusted them whole heartedly because we were trying to plan a wedding from California and they did not disappoint! We were having trouble finding a venue for our wedding vision when we came across Best Day Ever website and reached out to them immediately because of their wide range of venue packages! Highly recommend their services for a beautiful and smooth wedding on Oahu! Thanks Nicole and team! -

Best Day Ever truly made our wedding day the best day ever! Nicole made planning an elopement a seamless process. It was great having her expert guidance on all of our hair/makeup, venue, officiant, flower and photographer options. She provided multiple options and shared notes on each. She facilitated the bookings and provided contact info and timelines for the day of. We didn't have to deal with any logistics or scheduling. Her attention to detail was great. Walking into the venue on the day of the wedding we had zero stress and everything was perfect. We highly recommend Best Day Ever if you are looking for the perfect Hawaiian elopement or wedding! -

Best team for your best day!
Best Day Ever is absolutely amazing! We couldn't have planned our day without them! The amount of organization and detail they put into their work is so thoughtful. The planning and our wedding day weren't stressful for us at all. Our ceremony looked so beautiful. We couldn't have been happier with our decision to go with Best Day Ever! Thank you so much, Nicole and Kristina! -

Best day ever!
Cannot recommend Nicole enough. She was beyond helpful, always got back to me in a timely manner, and eased every one of my nerves. I live in Alabama, therefore, planning a wedding in Hawaii can be challenging. She took care of EVERYTHING!!! We even had a few bumps in the road a few days before and she was able to get on the phone and try to fix it for me.
On the day of the wedding, she made sure everything was on time and set up. I didn't feel stressed at all. It truly was the BEST DAY EVER!!!!! -

Nicole from Best Day Ever helped us plan our wedding from Miami. Without her we wouldn't have had the wedding we had. Every vendor recommended (we chose from a list Nicole gave us) went above and beyond for us. I can not thank Nicole and all the vendors enough. Our wedding was more than we had every dreamt of. She also kept us within our budget and was super patient with us. Every guest at our wedding complimented their professionalism and attention to detail. I was and still am overwhelmingly grateful to Nicole, the vendors and her staff, I truly can not say it enough. It was definitely a day I will never forget and neither will my guests! -

When we got engaged we knew we wanted a Secret Island elopement, but literally nothing else. Being from NJ we definitely needed help to make it happen. Thanks to Nicole and her team we had the most stress free (& fun) wedding planning process and wedding day. Her team was very responsive and highly communicative throughout the whole planning process down to the itinerary the night before. Nicole's team sourced all our wedding vendors who were all top notch (officiant, photo, video, HMU, floral, ukulele) and even provided luau recommendations for after our ceremony. Our wedding day was incredibly special and truly stress free thanks to the BDE team! -

Thanks to Nicole and her team, we literally had the "Best Day Ever." We live in California so planning a destination wedding myself was just something I did not want to stress myself with. Thankfully, I ran across BDE and it sounded like the perfect match to what we were looking for. My point of contact was Alyssa, who we loved! She was super helpful, catered to all our needs and questions. Nicole and Alyssa made wedding planning feel like a breeze for us. Nicole was so helpful in giving her expert advice on things we had no clue about. We completely trusted her and on our wedding day, we knew without a doubt that we made the best decision by choosing her. It was absolutely beautiful and everything that we could have imagined. They picked out the best officiant and photographer based on what we wanted and we built really good relationships with all of them. It feels like we made life long friends in the process. We plan on doing vow renewals every 5-10 years and I'd definitely choose Best Day Ever to plan those events too. They're the absolute best at what they do. -

Amazing team and a dream come true!
Nicole and her team at Best Day Ever was the perfect fit for us. They were extremely knowledgeable and on top of their game at communicating thru email. The entire process was seamless, easy and super fun for having Nicole and her team as our planners. We were so happy with our officiant, photographer, florals, hair and make-up artist. We when got to Secret Island, we were blew away on how beautiful it turned out. Overall, we are so pleased with our choice to have Nicole as our planner, we can't thank her and her team enough for our wedding to be special, it was a dream come true. Definitely a 10 out of 10 recommended to anyone that wants to get marry in Honolulu, Hawaii -

Samantha Sent on 10/05/2021Best Planner Ever!
When we were starting to plan our wedding in Hawaii we spent hours looking for different planners to help us navigate through the process. We had several exploratory calls with different planners and we knew right away after our call with Nicole at Best Day Ever Hawaii that she was the perfect fit for us. She was extremely knowledgeable however, the thing that set her apart from the rest is that she was extremely friendly and put so much care, thought, and time into her responses. She helped us talk through the different packages to find which one was the best fit for us.
Once we officially signed her as our planner, she made the entire process seamless, easy, and fun. We don't live in Hawaii, and we felt 100% comfortable having her plan our wedding as she knew all of the vendors, and even got us great discounts! We were so happy with our officiant, photographer, florals, hair and makeup artist, and restaurant reception recommendations. Once we finally made it to Hawaii for our big day, Nicole blew us away again with her organization and professionalism at our wedding ceremony. The day went off without a hitch and she had several backup plans ready to go in case of an unexpected event like rain.
Overall, we are so pleased with our choice to have Nicole at Best Day Ever plan our wedding and would 10 out of 10 recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner in Hawaii. Thank you, Nicole, and the rest of the Best Day Ever team for planning our most perfect day! -

Amazing people, venues and company!!
The best decision (besides asking Lisa to marry me) was hiring Best Day Ever! We had an amazing experience every step of the way. Planning a wedding can be stressful enough without a pandemic going on, but Nicole and Alyssa made every step fun and easy. The communication and professionalism has been amazing, and the venue and vendors were all the best of the best!!! If you’re thinking about a Hawaiian wedding (and you should be), this is the company you need to work with!!! -

Truly, the best day ever
Best Day Ever was wonderful! They really pulled everything together. It was super amazing having them on the island while we live on the mainland. We actually never had to come to Hawaii before the wedding and the first time meeting the crew was at our actual ceremony. We completely got rained out, but Best Day Ever really made it the best day ever! It went flawlessly and even though it poured we had an amazing time. We wouldn't have wanted it any other way!
Thank you so much for making our amazing day that much more special and really sticking through the weather with us! You all are truly amazing! -

Shauna Sent on 11/30/2013A self-proclaimed uber organizer, I was a little hesitant to hire a wedding coordinator and turn over my most important day to someone else. Living in Las Vegas and planning my wedding in Waikiki, my mother insisted that I find one and I'm glad she was so persistent. I reached out to a few companies, but knew as soon as I had my initial meeting with Nicole from Best Day Ever that I had found the perfect coordinators.
Erika & Nicole were on point with everything - extremely organized and thorough. I booked the Bonnie & Clyde package. The girls met with my parents and I during our only planning trip months before the wedding and my parents instantly fell in love with them. They were very easy to work with and responded to all of my emails in a timely manner. Turning everything that I had worked on over to them when the time came was a lot easier than I thought it would be because I trusted them fully with my wedding. Erika assisted with my layouts and timeline and had everything down to the T. She was as organized as I hoped to be and then some.
The girls ran my rehearsal and made sure everyone was comfortable with their roles. On the day of my wedding, the girls definitely did not disappoint. They were there the ENTIRE day, from setting up the ceremony to reviewing/signing the final BEO at the end of the night. They also handled a few minor issues that we ran into throughout the day. Just having them as our go-to people on our wedding day allowed my parents to enjoy my wedding A LOT more because they were confident that Nicole and Erika were taking care of everything. Knowing that we had Best Day Ever on our side took a big weight off of my and my parents' shoulders.
Looking back on this whole wedding journey, hiring Best Day Ever was definitely one of the best decisions we made. I recommend then to anyone who needs any kind of wedding coordination. They were truly awesome and my husband and I definitely had our Best Day Ever. -

Charis Sent on 03/21/2013My husband and I got married on Dec. 2nd 2012.. Our ceremony was at the Paradise Cove Crystal Chapel and our reception was at the Ihilani Ocean Ballroom.. It was a blessing that we found Nicole and Erika.. 2 months before our wedding we were all set, at least that's what we thought.. our wedding planner bailed out on us last minute.. I was in tears because the wedding was right around the corner and my husband freaked out! He was so awesome though.. he called about 5 different wedding planners and got on the ball right away. Nicole was the first to call him back and they set up an appointment.. I was still a little broken and wasn't ready to do the whole interviewing thing again but i went anyways.. It was such a good thing that we did though.. They seriously saved our wedding! After our meeting, my husband and i talked outside for about a half and hour and we decided to book them right away. It was so easy to to talk to them and to get along with them it was a no brainer! The price was reasonable too! We spoke to a bunch of wedding planners and for what they do, the price was awesome!
They took care of EVERYTHING! Literally EVERYTHING.. I wanted my wedding to be perfect so I wanted to plan a lot of it but I couldn't execute it on the day of.. I thought I would be nervous and worried about how everything would turn out but when I got into the reception.. it was breath taking.. They did such a wonderful job, it was even nicer then what i had expected!
Nicole and Erika became more then just vendors we booked for our wedding.. they became our friends.. we still keep in touch till this day! Without them, our wedding would not have been our BEST DAY EVER! Thank you so much Nicole and Erika!! -

Tasha Sent on 01/16/2012Best Day Ever was fantastic! If you can afford it, I would highly recommend a day-of coordinator. Erika & Nicole came to our rescue when our other day of wedding coordinator, Alicia Means, bailed out on us at the last minute without a word. What you pay for is peace of mind on your biggest day, and that is exactly what Erika and Nicole delivered.
From the first meeting, Erika and Nicole's thoroughness and warmth reassured us that our wedding would be handled carefully and professionally. Their wedding timeline was precise down to the minute (but also allowed flexibility), and both Nicole and Erika were constantly in touch with questions about our vision of our wedding, and to warn us of issues we had not thought of ourselves.
Another wonderful trait of Best Day Ever was their promptness. We were surprised to find so many people in the wedding business are very late or lazy in replying to correspondence. We loved that Nicole and Erika were very very prompt with replies. This further reassured us that they would handle any important issues as soon as they arose.
Also, just a story to illustrate how Nicole and Erika went the extra mile for us: On the day of the wedding, as I was getting ready, we could not find my wedding shoes. They were blue flats that were supposed to be my "something blue." Not only did Erika offer her own slippers for the time being, but then they somehow found time during that hectic pre-ceremony period to buy cute blue slippers for our beach ceremony. Throughout the lead up and during the ceremony and reception, Nicole and Erika handled every request of ours patiently and expertly. We really felt we were in good hands from the get-go, and this allowed myself and my husband to relax and enjoy the wedding. Both stayed until the end of the reception, and we were just so happy with their help. In sum, Nicole and Erika were kind problem solvers throughout, and invaluable.
Go with Best Day Ever! They did an amazing job! -

Mary Sent on 03/04/2012My now-husband and I found Erika & Nicole just about 2 1/2 months prior to our big day. We had the very romanticized idea that we could plan our day on our own, but as two very busy working professionals with every intention to get a wedding planned, we just never got around to it. Boy, were we happy to have met them. Erika & Nicole did an AMAZING job, whipping us into ceremony shape in the most-kind-but-firm way possible in such a short amount of time. We valued their strong command of project management. They presented a very good approach to planning out each aspect of our big day, and kept sight of every detail. We also appreciated the artistic vision these ladies brought to the table. Nicole & Erika did a great job translating our vision for what we wanted the wedding to look like into a beautiful reality, listening a great deal to our often 'mish-moshed', vague descriptions and turning it into something memorable. Lastly, we were also grateful with their suggestions of various price-control solutions, as keeping things on budget was important to us. Besides their level of professionalism, these ladies are some of the most personable and approachable people you'll ever meet. They are great!
