Alexandria Sent on 12/05/2023The most incredible wedding planners you can hire!
My husband and I were so stressed when thinking about planning our wedding in Hawaii as we are from Chicago, we knew whoever we picked for full-service planning had to be incredible as this was going to be a big task planning a wedding for 115 guests from another state 9 ½ hours away.
We booked several calls with different planners and Brianna was our first call, we ended up cancelling a few of the final calls because we knew right away that’s who we wanted, on the call Brianna was kind, informative and to the point. We told her how nervous we were and how we didn’t think it would be easy and she was so unbothered by all of the details we gave her, she just kept saying no problem, we can handle it.
I am a very detail-oriented person, I work in the hospitality/culinary industry and have high expectations. Brianna knew this and assured me every step of the way that everything was going to be perfect, she answered all of my texts within 24 hours, all emails and any issue that popped in my head, she helped me. We worked with Brianna and her team for 1 year basically before the wedding and honestly, she became like family.
The detail and amount of time we wanted put into our wedding was A LOT, but Brianna went above and beyond to ensure whatever we needed she and her team could handle, if it wasn’t something her and her team could do, she always had a solution. She worked with all of the vendors, figured out behind the scenes issues that we didn’t even know about until after the fact (saved us tons of stress and money). We can’t say enough about Brianna and her team, she even still messaged us after the wedding.
We got married at Kualoa Ranch, Jumanji and it is up on a mountain (no water, generators, bathrooms, etc.) we planned every single detail and even the things we forgot or didn’t think about, Brianna helped us through it, which wasn’t easy as we had SO many vendors we wanted and 115 guests.
The team gives you tools (budget tracker, day of organization, seating chart, and so much more) in a drive and keeps everything organized for you and anything we needed to change she updated flawlessly.
Brianna spent time traveling to each of our vendors taking pictures for us, ensuring we knew what everything would look like, reassuring me every step of the way. Every new idea I came up with and wanted to do, she assisted us every step of the way. We had an issue on the way to the wedding with a couple guests missing the bus (all of the parents of bride and groom) lol which would usually cause a HUGE issue, but Brianna handled it with grace, ensuring we had enough extra time in the timeline and then messaging with the transportation company after the fact to ensure that we were not charged.
Up until the day, we had tons of shipments going to Brianna, she would go pick these up in her free time and store them in the warehouse and take pictures for us and keep all of our shipments organized, we stayed with all of our family a week before the wedding and Brianna even met us a couple times before the rehearsal and wedding to pick up/drop off items to us. (at many different times, she was so incredibly flexible and kind)
On the day of, when I pulled up, I cried because not only was it everything we imagined but it was so much more, the day ran by so smoothly and Brianna kept everyone on schedule, especially after my husband and I had added so much more to the day than what we had originally said.
Every single guest who was there told us after that it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been too, and everything was flawless.
If we haven’t convinced you already from the above, don’t look anywhere else, Charming Events is who you want to book, I promise, you won’t regret it!

Kristin Sent on 05/12/2026In-House Coordination at The Charming Estate
We used Charming Events Hawaii for in-house coordination at The Charming Estate. Heather was our lead coordinator with Lauren as her assistant for the day. I really wanted a good timeline to maximize our photography hours, and Heather made sure everything was running right on schedule. Our coordinators did a great job organizing our larger group photos and making our guests feel welcome at our wedding. They also took care of all of our DIY setup and take down at the end of the evening so my family and wedding party didn’t have anything to worry about.
The Charming Estate package included 4-month coordination services, so I had already booked most of our vendors by the time Heather took over. However, she did a great job taking over vendor communication and setting up services with vendors contracted through the venue package (DJ, Emcee, Officiant). We had a couple of cultural elements (breaking of Japanese Sake Barrel) that had not been done at our venue before, but Heather helped work out logistics with venue staff and coordinate everything to bring our vision to life. We are so happy we trusted Heather and Charming Events with our wedding day! -

I hired Charming Events Hawaii for their day-of coordination services, where they take over communication with vendors/make sure loose ends are tied up, a month before the wedding. Once they stepped in, I immediately felt a wave of relief! Taylor was assigned as my lead coordinator and I can’t thank her enough for how amazing she has been from start to finish. Through our multiple meetings, she’s been so supportive, easy to talk to, dependable, professional, and so organized. Any last minute changes or issues? No problem. Taylor made sure it was noted and taken care of. She also made helpful recommendations when needed. My husband and I truly had the best day ever at our wedding. Better than we ever dreamed. And it’s all thanks to Taylor and her wonderful team. Hiring Charming Events Hawaii was one of the best decisions we made and I will always rave about them when asked about my wedding 💖💖 -

The Charming Estate was the perfect one-stop venue for a awesome wedding! They offered two packages to include various items to meet our budget with an exceptional team of professionals. The outdoor Deck for the wedding ceremony was absolutely gorgeous, a private bridal party room to get dressed, and reception room to accommodate 160 pax, delicious appetizers during the cocktail hour, and dinner buffet cooked to perfection. -

We cannot say enough good things about working with CEH, especially Marie. We asked for Marie's support as our Month-Of Coordinator for planning our destination wedding at Kualoa Ranch, and from the very beginning, she was warm, professional, and incredibly grounded. On our wedding day, there were a few unexpected challenges behind the scenes, and Marie handled everything so smoothly that, as the bride and groom, we didn’t even know anything had gone wrong. She shows up so well under pressure and honored our contract with integrity and care. When family members pressured her to pivot from the itinerary, Marie protected our timeline and the overall flow of events, drawing clear and respectful boundaries. She is thoughtful, composed, and full of aloha. We are beyond grateful for her, and choosing her was one of the best decisions we made. If you have any family members who are going to put pressure on you/the event you're planning, I'd definitely go with CEH! -

My wedding planning and wedding was flawless due to our wonderful planner at Charming Events Hawaii, Heather. Heather and team were organized, kind, and thinking two steps ahead at all times. Everyone at the wedding commented on how "on it" the team was. Heather went above and beyond during our wedding planning/wedding. I highly recommend!!! -

Olivia Sent on 06/04/2025The best coordinating team, on top of details and left me feeling relaxed and stress free on our wedding day
We got married on 5/26/25 at Kualoa Ranch. Charming Events was one of the first vendors I booked back in 2023, and we're so happy we ended up choosing them! We started working with our Lead Coordinator, Heather, a month leading up to our big day, where she took over all communications with vendors, answered all of our (many) questions, and ultimately allowed us to focus on spending time with our friends and family.
The day of the wedding, Heather and her team were on top of all the details, bringing my vision to life flawlessly and making our day run smoothly, on time, and allowing us not to have to worry about a thing. It was truly the best day of our lives, and I don't think we could have had such a beautiful day without their help! Thank you!!! -

Coming from California, we had to plan our wedding from afar—a challenge on its own. The Charming Events Hawaii team was so helpful during the entire process, from the consultation call all the way until the day of the event, they never hesitated to answer any of my questions or concerns and when it got down to it, they made everything that we envisioned happen! Heather coordinated my wedding and I will never forget her or the CEH team for making this special day go on without a hitch for us, rain or shine—LITERALLY! Thank you Heather, Bri, Rochelle (I hope I spelled her name correctly!) and Brianna for your services and your time! Chester and I truly appreciate and love you from the bottom of our hearts for creating a memorable experience for us to remember for the rest of our lives!! Mahalo!! -

Charming Events Hawaii is amazing to work with! They went above and beyond to make our wedding day so perfect.

I had the most incredible experience with Charming Events Hawaii. Heather led me through the planning process with several check-ins with the months leading up to the wedding, followed up with vendors for me, looked into pricing and options, created a timeline I could share with family and friends, and coordinated with her team to make sure our big day was beautiful and memorable. She made sure we had thought of even the little things. I was especially grateful for a well-timed ceremony and the team member who miraculously fixed a broken snap on my dress last minute with a bobby pin. The team was so kind to us and our family members and so professional. If you are considering hiring a coordinator, you have found the perfect one with Charming Events Hawaii. They are a bargain at twice the price, I cannot recommend them enough. -

Elizabeth Sent on 01/11/2023Best planners I've ever worked with!
Planning a destination wedding for 80 people at a venue we'd never visited seemed daunting, but Charming Events made it a BREEZE! We opted for the day-of coordination package, including a 90-minute planning phone call, which ended up being GREAT! The folks at Charming Events are so knowledgeable — in our initial meeting and through the planning call, they pointed us to some incredible vendors and gave us a lot of great tips about the venue. They really listened to our wants/needs as a couple and didn't try to force us to do anything we didn't want to do, which we really valued! Most importantly, they were there every step of the way, checking in with us, and eventually fully taking over coordinating our vendors, creating timelines and floor plans, and making sure every single thing was ready. Best of all, they couldn't be nicer people to work with — Kau'i brought the BEST energy to planning and to our wedding day. She was calm, positive and truly took care of everything, which set my mind at ease. Charming Events goes above and beyond and I truly can't recommend them highly enough!

I cannot imagine our wedding without Charming Events. Brianna & her team were there for me through every single step! The partial planning was worth every penny, but at the VERY LEAST you absolutely need this team for your day of coordination. Everything went over so smoothly, we were in awe. Our guests had an incredible time & we truly had the best day of our lives. We truly had a wedding beyond our wildest dreams thanks to this incredible team! -

Heather and her team went above and beyond in assisting all of our needs not only on the day of but the month leading up to it. From initial consultation through the wedding day, communication was very easy whether it was through text/email. She was accommodating with meeting in person/zoom calls with us and all vendors. She made sure I never missed any of the little details I had envisioned throughout the whole process. Charming Event's timeline was also very helpful and easy to follow not only for me but to all of our vendors. Our vendors really appreciated her team in communicating all of our needs and to make sure we were all on the same page. If I was organizing another huge party/event I would contact them again! -

I highly recommend Charming Events Hawaii for your wedding or event! We had a destination wedding on Oahu and despite living in a different time zone, Brianna and her team were easy to communicate with throughout the entire process and were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. CEH had a lot of insight about our venue and gave many wonderful suggestions that made the planning process seamless. We had Heather as lead for our wedding and she was amazing! She was incredibly helpful, timely, organized, and thoughtful— anything we needed, she was there for us. She and the coordinators for our wedding kept everything on track and it allowed us to truly be present and soak in our wedding day as it unfolded. Charming Events Hawaii, thank you so much for helping to bring our dream wedding to life, we are so grateful for your amazing customer service, attention to detail, and awesome team of professionals!

Brianna and her team at Charming Events Hawaii were absolutely incredible and beyond professional! We had the most beautiful wedding at Kualoa Ranch Paliku Gardens and Brianna and her team made sure to consult us on every last detail to ensure our day was absolutely perfect and stress free. Whatever we needed they were with us every step of the way to either provide it or recommend it. We are so glad that we trusted Charming Events Hawaii with one of the most special days of our life. I'm honestly sad it's over because I truly enjoyed working with Brianna so much! She's become a friend through this process. I couldn't recommend her and her team enough! -

Absolutely Perfect!
We cannot thank the team at Charming Events enough for putting together such a perfect day! Kaui was our main contact and she was absolutely incredible to work with! Her attention to detail and responsiveness made the planning process so easy! On the day of our wedding we were able to just relax and enjoy the day thanks to Kaui, Brianna, and Rachelle’s hard work. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for event planning and coordination services. We are forever grateful they were a part of our special day. Thank you Kaui, Brianna and Rachelle!!! 💕 -

Brianna is a gem!
Brianna and her team were everything I could have imagined, I only wish I would have hired her from the beginning!
We hired her for our wedding when the first venue fell through a month prior. We were both frazzled and needed boots on the ground coordinating all the changes between vendors.
Brianna is very professional and prompt on correspondence. She helped us through 2 venue changes and handled everything we needed on the day. I cannot imagine not having her present to help us stay on track for planning and on our wedding day. Not having any of our friends and family run around and stress was worth it.
I will definitely hire Brianna in the future for event planning. She is a gem! -

Shan Sent on 05/09/2021Pandemic wedding 2021-thank you brianna
Planning a wedding can be stressful enough but planning a destination wedding during a pandemic can be downright crazy. I knew that hiring a professional was the first order of business. We had interviewed several wedding planners but something about Brianna stood out. Even though we weren’t able to meet in person, there was something about her demeanor and professionalism that resonated with us. She was calm, organized and she definitely knew what she was talking about! After our initial conversation, we knew we had to hire her, and we did, and it ended up being the best decision we could have ever made because our wedding was absolutely perfect!
Before the pandemic, we had booked our venue at Kualoa Ranch. We fell in love with the scenery but then covid hit and suddenly we were only allowed only 5-10 people at our wedding. It was difficult to narrow down our guestlist so Brianna presented us with different venue options that accommodated 50 people just in case the restrictions weren’t lifted in time. And so 5 months before our wedding date, we decided to change our venue to the Royal Hawaiian Golf Club, and let me tell you, this venue was absolutely GORGEOUS!!! The views were breathtaking and because it was in the valley, it was much cooler than it would have been at Kualoa. We would not have known about this hidden gem if it weren’t for Brianna!
Our wedding itself went soooo smoothly! We felt so relaxed that day and enjoyed every moment of our wedding all because we trusted that Brianna covered every aspect of it. We definitely felt at ease knowing she took the reigns and allowed us to soak in the scenery and every interaction with our loved ones.
As a nurse in the ICU and my husband, a respiratory therapist, the last thing on our minds was to plan a destination wedding while working this awful pandemic. We were emotional and physically exhausted, but Brianna was there through it all. As healthcare workers who took care of others, she was the one that took care of us. She answered every question and fulfilled all our needs. She was our eyes and ears on the island and sought her advice and guidance when it came to covid restrictions. She was optimistic and reassured us when she needed to be but she also maintained a healthy sense of realism. We had every confidence in Brianna to help pull us through this pandemic and achieve the wedding we had only dreamed about. So THANK YOU BRIANNA and her awesome team (Michelle) for giving us the most perfect wedding!!! -

I cannot say enough positive things about this business! Although our final wedding day had to be cancelled due to covid, Brianna went above and beyond throughout our entire journey together for planning our destination wedding. She made the whole process simple and easy; from finding our vendors, saving costs and advocating for us when we had some issues with our cancellations. Her responses to our endless enquires were done promptly, and her whole hearted professional nature put our minds at ease whilst planning from abroad. Although it breaks our hearts that we did not get to use her services on our final day, we wouldn’t hesitate for a minute to recommend to another lovely couple to use her business. You will not regret using CEH as your wedding planner 💜 -

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Brianna and her team at Charming Events. As someone who grew up in Hawaii but no longer lives there, I needed a coordinator that I could rely on to make my vision come to life while I helped plan from miles away. Brianna and her team fully delivered on that. She was always reachable, respectful and very on top of all the moving parts. When some issues came up with linens and decor, she handled it and/or found solutions. On the day of our wedding, everything was so gorgeous and went according to plan, and her team was extremely attentive and friendly. Thank you Charming Events Hawaii for making our wedding such a seamless and wonderful experience for Marco and I!

My husband and I wanted to have a fun, colorful and relaxed wedding that incorporated Indian/Hindu, Japanese and Hawaiian elements. Neither of us know much about weddings and, although I grew up on the Windward side, I currently live in California, so we decided we needed some help to plan our wedding at He'eia State Park.
I'm so happy we decided to work with Brianna and her team at Charming Events Hawaii. Brianna is everything you want in a wedding planner: communicative, responsible, budget-minded, creative, adaptable, empathetic, calm, detail-oriented, kind and so knowledgeable.
Our wedding day was perfect. And that is all thanks to Brianna and her team. If you're in the market for a wedding planner on Oahu, I'd highly recommend Charming Events Hawaii. I literally don't know what I would have done without Brianna!!!!!!!!!!! -

Amazing Company
Brianna and her team are hands down amazing. She made my wedding spectacular and even more than I can imagine. She and her team took all the stress away from helping each and every vendor and not make myself a bridezilla! From day one where I had a phone consultation, I knew from speaking to Brianna her team could make my wedding amazing. To be honest, I had to search the "wedding planners" in Oahu since I am not from the island, I had several people reach back out to me but I knew from the moment I spoke with Brianna, her and I clicked instantly. Brianna and her team KNOW what they are doing and I can proudly say, my wedding exceeded my expectations and even more. -
