    Cherished in Hawaii wedding of our dreams !

    I can’t thank you enough to these amazing wedding planners for giving us the wedding of our dreams. Jermaine & I are from California, so I knew that planning our wedding wouldn’t be easy if I did it on my own. Shout out to Mina, Leah & Jayvee for keeping me sane through the whole process! We opted for the full coordination service since we didn’t live in Hawaii. From the very beginning, I spoke & emailed Mina regarding budget, venues, vendors and ideas. We had a little over a year to plan the wedding and Mina was great w/ responding & gave us many options. Jayvee handled the wedding decor & our wedding vision board, I’m so thankful because she was very patient w/ me and helped us save money where we could. Because we had ample time to plan the wedding, I really didn’t worry or stress too much up until 2 months before the wedding and that’s when I was introduced me to Leah. Leah is the timeline coordinator, she goes over EVERY detail of the wedding. With a little over month before the wedding, we spoke to Leah on the phone for almost 4 hours.. she went through EVERYTHING. Day of the wedding, everything went so smooth! It honestly didn’t hit me until my MOH pulled the car up to the venue where Leah met up with us and offered to get me a drink to calm my nerves. My husband also coordinated with Leah for a surprise number during the reception. These women are a godsend and if I could relive this day over again I would because it really was the best day of our lives. My only regret is that we didn’t get a picture with them on the day of. CIHW thank you so much for everything, we couldn’t have done it without you guys! I’m so impressed & feel so loved by this team, you all have exceeded my every expectation for our best day ever. Aloha & Mahalo nui loa Cherished in Hawaii Weddings!

    Planning a Wedding in Hawaii from West Australia sounded like a daunting and stressful experience, having never been to Hawaii or Usa, I checked out a couple of wedding Planners in Hawaii and Cherished in Hawaii Weddings stood out to me, so I contacted Carrie and she asked what I wanted and gave my some suggestions and started putting a plan in place, so easy! and very organized, It was such a stress free experience and when the day finally came it was even better than I imagined, perfect, friendly service and great pricing. we couldn't of asked for a better day, all of our guests were amazed, Great service I highly recommend Cherished in Hawaii weddings

    I am from NY and was planning a destination wedding in Hawaii on the beach. I had researched through google and wedding websites and emailed tons of destination wedding organizations. Everyone had the same stale response, ‘here is the link to book with us, thanks for emailing!’. This got old real quick; I had been emailing with specific questions and wanting to get a real person to respond without a generic answer. I was beginning to think it was impossible to find a good place. I read a review here about Cherished in Hawaii Weddings, all of the reviews talked about how good the company was and how nice and helpful Carrie the coordinator was. I decided to email, once I got a response back, it became clear this is who I wanted to work with. Of course I was a little hesitant planning my wedding without being in Hawaii or being able to have a meeting to discuss what I was looking for, but after talking with Carrie I felt very comfortable and confidant I made the right choice. Carrie took the time to email and call me (several times, even before I booked!) to discuss what I was looking for, she gave me several suggestions and recommendations that helped me decide exactly what I wanted. She was so sweet and helpful I could not have asked for a better long distance experience! It was a pleasure working with Carrie; she made the preparation for my special day easy and stress free! I had my wedding a few weeks ago and was very satisfied with the end result. It was just my husband and I at the ceremony, and once we met Carrie and Mark and it felt like we had two long time friends there with us. They were so accommodating and did not rush or try to push us into anything. I would definitely recommend working with Carrie and Mark at Cherished in Hawaii Weddings any day, hands down, it was the best decision I made regarding my wedding plans. Definitely exceeded my expectations beyond my wildest dreams!

    Cherished in Hawaii weddings provided such a wonderful experience for myself, new wife, friends and family. From the initial contact to the organising of the venue, vendors and every detail in between, the day was spectacular. Every facet from the organisation of the day to the seamless nature of the day itself only proved that the passion and commitment to detail was second to none. The team worked tirelessly to make sure our day was perfect and did not stop working behind the scenes until the final moments of our wedding. I could not have higher praise for the team. Thank you Cherished in Hawaii Weddings.

    Best day of my life!

    CIHW did such an amazing job for our wedding! We booked them an entire year ago and they made our entire year and wedding planning process very smooth, fun, and stress-free! We mainly worked with Jayvee and Allison and they were both very professional and patient with answering all of our questions and fulfilling our needs/vision. They planned out a schedule for us and throughout the year, they checked in, helped us book our venue (they checked out the venue for us, we never saw the venue in person), vendors, design a layout and put together a very detailed timeline for our wedding day! On our wedding day, Jayvee and Allison were impeccable. The venue looked beautiful and everything was setup so nicely. Everything went according to the plan we discussed beforehand. Jayvee and Allison were attentive to all of our needs at all times, always looking ahead and checking in with us for any changes, and very prepared that they even had bandaids ready for me! Everyone had a great time and felt that the wedding went very well! We are so happy we chose CIHW, they deserve all the credit! They definitely have a lot of experience and I would 100% recommend them!

    Cherished was one of the best decision we could make for our wedding.

    I don't even know where to start...When my fiancé and I begun this destination wedding planning process I knew a planner was a must. And I will always be grateful for the Cherished team. My now husband and I started meeting with planners before we even knew what a pandemic was. Contacted cherished and this was one of the best decisions we made. We worked with Pam, Mina and Jayvee. Jayvee seemed to be our main contact as well as Mina and both were great the entire almost two years of planning. During the whole process, Covid was happening and everyone knows how stressful it could be. Especially from thousands of miles away. The week of our wedding, we assumed we got lucky and Envisioned having the wedding of our dreams. Then boom we were hit with unforeseen unfortunate events the day before we flew out. However, Mina contacted us immediately with a plan and Jayvee made us feel well taken care of. Although we had two days to figure out how to make our wedding happen, after restriction were put in place (again) they assured us their main goal was to Get us Married. They made a beautiful wedding happen for us. You can feel the dedication they put into their clients and work. This team will def make your dreams come true. Even if you don't know what they are to begin with. The team work-not just within each other, but with other vendors is great. You’ll feel all the hard work come into effect on your special day and everything will be worth it. Forever grateful they were part of our special day. No need to research other planners. They are more than amazing at what they do. Hats off to the Cherished team. Thank you Pam, Jayvee and Mina 🤍

    Carrie and Mark were absolutely wonderful to work with! From the first contact, Carrie was so easy to talk to and left me with no stress. My husband and I wanted a simple ceremony with just the two of us and Carrie and Mark made us feel very special on our big day! If my husband and I decide to go back for our anniversary, I wouldn't think twice about calling Carrie for a vow renewal ceremony too! Thanks so much Carrie and Mark!

    We had an absolutely wonderful expereince with the team at Cherished in Hawaii Weddings. We got married in June of 2014 at Paradise Cove. The team at Cherished in Hawaii Weddings was excellent and right on point with every little detail from the ceremony to the reception. They provided us everything we asked for and then some. Brides I say to you, we had no worries at all as the team at Cherished in Hawaii Weddings made me feel so comfortable and put my mind at ease and all I had to do was say yes or just check it off my list as the team did an outstanding job. We never imagined that everything would come together as beautfully as it did but we are still smiling to this day about our wedding day. We have received so many compliments on our wedding which was planned by the team at Cherished in Hawaii Weddings. Anything you can think of from lightening to charger plates, favors, etc. they really can do it all without missing a beat. They mde our day Truly Paradise. Our photos and videos are still being reviewed and raved about by our families and friends. We had a live musician that was totally amazing to us and our guest all because of the Team at Cherished in Hawaii Weddings. The location, flowers, chairs, transportation, and decor at the ceremony was spectacular all done by the team at Cherished in Hawaii Weddings. They recommended a place for my reception and all of our guest loved it. The Team at Cherished in Hawaii Weddings are truly professionals, aim to over satisfy the bride/customer. I would recommend Cherished in Hawaii Weddings to any bride that wants to get married in Hawaii as they are an outstanding group with great personalities, creativity and will make you smile which will allow you to enjoy your wedding.

    Carrie makes everything easy! From the moment that we got a consultation with her on the phone, she helped us realize that what we were originally envisioning for the wedding wasn't what we actually wanted for our special day. She was able to put together the wedding of our dreams and still was able to maintain our budget.

    Carrie also took the time to get to know us. She had ideas and visions and cost-saving tricks that we would have never thought of. She has amazing relationships with her vendors, and took care of everything that we wanted. She would gently nudge us when we had ideas that she knew might be challenging, and everything still felt special and customized.

    We wanted a small intimate wedding that was on the beach but still in a private setting. We got married in Paradise Cove in Ko Olina and had our reception at Roy's. We cannot imagine having our wedding any other way! Carrie was amazing!

    I have a lot of things to say how OUTSTANDING Carrie is as a person and wedding coordinator. If you are a very diligent bride-to-be and you wanna know how AWESOME this company is, please take time to read my review on the link below. I purposely created a page just for Carrie. Trust me! They are worth the money more than anything!

    We had a destination wedding with a small group of 13 and Carrie did a wonderful job! She literally planned my wedding within 2 months!

    Knowing you're about to get married is already stressful enough but also planning the details is sure to make anyone's head spin!

    This is where Carrie comes in and makes everything a breeze. I'm such a worrywart and Carrie made it easy for me. There's something about her nice soothing voice when you talk to her that will help ease any bride's jitters! She's so nice and is always 10 steps ahead of you. She goes above and beyond to make sure her bride is always taken care of.

    I love how she always tells me to stop being so nice and tell her if I'm unhappy or that it's always okay to change something she had suggested. But the truth is, I never had to because she was planning it perfectly! She is awesome! With Carrie, she also has great vendors that she deals with so you will always get the best deal. You should trust her judgment and let her take the rein. She has so many positive reviews for a reason and that's because she's earned them all with her great work!

    I would totally recommend her and thank you for planning our wedding!

    Mahalo,
    Annie and Johnny from LA, C

    Our Dream Wedding

    I cannot speak highly enough of the Cherished in Hawaii Weddings team. Planning a destination wedding required us to make a lot of decisions without seeing or tasting anything ourselves, so the local knowledge they provided was invaluable.
    The team helped us find the venue of our dreams and did the majority of liaising with them. We decided to choose one of their packages, allowing us to use the vendors they knew would be amazing, and saving us tons of time in researching and vetting each one. In hindsight it was a great choice as everything was wonderful!
    The offiant they selected was cheerful, funny, and sincere. The DJ did the most to mix our favourite songs in with ones he knew would get people onto the dance floor. I left most of the décor decisions up to the team and I was blown away by what they were able to put together.
    The photographer they recommend was excellent and ran circles around us, providing us with so many shots that we will cherish (no pun intended) forever. We had a videographer as well that produced such an amazing video to share with our friends and family that could not attend.
    We were really impressed with the food choices offered with the packages. Everything was so delicious and all of our guests let us know how much they liked it afterwards. The baker they work with also offered a really great selection of cake flavours. We went with strawberries and cream for the first layer and chocolate raspberry for the second layer. It was delicious, no dry wedding cake here!
    Allison was our head coordinator. She was a dream to work with. Throughout the planning process she was always available to answer questions and put our concerns at ease. Where she really shone, though, was the day of. She was everywhere. She made sure everyone knew where to go, and what to do. Having her around allowed me to let go, relax, and actually enjoy the wedding! She really is a wedding fairy godmother.
    At the end of the day I wouldn't have done anything differently. Our guests kept telling us that the wedding was like something you see in the movies. If you're looking to plan your dream wedding, look no further than the Cherished in Hawaii Weddings team!

    Highly recommend!


    Our destination wedding day on Oahu was nothing short of perfection, and we owe so much of that to Mina, Allison, and Jayvee. From the initial consultation to the last dance, CIHW demonstrated exceptional attention to detail and organizational process. They flawlessly executed our vision, turning dreams into reality. Their calming presence and expert coordination ensured a stress-free celebration for us and our guests. Our wedding guests kept telling us it was one of the most beautiful and best weddings they have ever been to. One of the things that we were most concerned was keeping within our floral budget without compromising on our vision for the wedding. CIHW was able to help us with this and we were so impressed with how they were able to make it work within our floral budget. If you're looking for a wedding planner who goes above and beyond to make your day truly special, look no further than CIHW. We are so grateful for their expertise and highly recommend their services!

    We were trying to plan our wedding in Oahu from the UK, and although we had some of the things sorted, we needed local help. A few e-mails were sent, and Carrie was the first to reply, so we went with her, and we couldn't have been more pleased with our choice.
    Carrie was very easy to work with - even though the time difference from the UK to Hawaii made communications interesting! Right from the outset, we felt we could trust Carrie with helping us organise, and her suggestions and help was always right, and took a lot of the stress and worry away from us trying to organise a wedding from the other side of the world.
    On the day, she was with us to make sure everything worked as planned - and it did - a very big thanks to Carrie for the whole day.

    We were planning our Hawaii destination wedding (64 people including bride and groom) all the way from New York, and we can't imagine how we could have pulled it off without Carrie. Even during initial conversations when we were still picking our wedding planner, she was generous with the time spent and advice given for our wedding.

    From the reception venue to catering to every little detail we could think of (or would *never* think of), saying that Carrie was on top of things would be an understatement. She was efficient, very respectful and mindful of everyone's time and comfort level. She has this list of vendors, venues, menus, etc. that would seem to fit anyone's preferences and budget.

    While she was really great to work with remotely, she was even more wonderful in person and she pretty much mothered us and encouraged us to just enjoy the occasion and just trust her and our vendors. She was very good at helping us mentally and emotionally prepare for an occasion that may happen to us only once in our lifetime. She was constantly on guard and seemed very protective of us -- very sensitive to changes and possible unknowns and making sure that the event would go really well, and with the least amount of stress on us.

    One surprising personal touch is that she actually called us in the afternoon a few hours before the wedding to check on us and make sure we were OK -- that we had our lunch, that we weren't too stressed, etc. and she also gave us a few more reminders heading towards the ceremony.

    Sweet, reliable, flexible, attentive and meticulously detailed -- we cannot recommend Carrie highly enough!

    Our advice would be to just hire her and trust her with all her recommended venues, vendors as well as any advice she may have that are specific to you. (Hint: If she suggests the Polynesian show, go for it if it fits your budget!)

    Carrie was an absolute joy to work with. She was always prompt with her replies, even with differences in our time zones. Her cordination fee was fair in comparison to other quotes received. An amazing job in coordinating our wedding, our expectations were certainly exceeded. Mark, who took over as our pastor the day before our wedding was very thorough and accommodating. The original pastor we booked had an emergency and had to cancel, Mark saved the day. Carrie works with some of the best and reputable vendors in Oahu. I highly recommend hiring Carrie/Cherished in Hawaii Weddings as your wedding planner. Thank you so much,Carrie and Mark.

    I cannot say enough great things about Carrie and the whole Cherished crew! We hired Carrie to do full coordination of our destination wedding in Oahu, and from the first conversation I had with Carrie, I knew it was the right choice. She was so easy to talk to, and felt like a old friend.

    The planning process was very enjoyable. We took each decision one at a time. Carrie listened to my ideas, and was able to provide great suggestions and feedback. Carrie worked hard to make sure that our wedding was exactly how we envisioned it. She was very patient and flexible during the entire process.

    Carrie was such a calming presence, and was so fun to talk to. Carrie emphasized that the process should be stress-free. And it was! She promptly replied to to emails, and was always available for phone conversations. It made planning the wedding from Seattle so easy.

    We ended up going with her husband, Mark, for our photography. And the photos turned out amazing! Mark was such a laid back guy, and was so fun to chat with. He had great ideas for poses and different locations. My husband doesn't like his photo being taken, but Mark was able to put him at ease. And the quality of the photos are outstanding.

    Carrie's execution the day of the wedding was professional and spot on. The venue was even more beautiful then how I had pictured it would be. The flowers were gorgeous and exactly how I wanted them. Everything from the centerpieces, to the lighting, to the flowers worked together perfectly. And it gave our wedding the vibe we were looking for. Carrie was on site the entire time to make sure that the event flowed perfectly. She was such a calming presence, and I didn't have to worry about anything all evening.

    I cannot recommend Carrie and the Cherished crew enough! Carrie and Mark are such great people. They are professional, great at what they do, and so much fun. Thanks for making our wedding so amazing!!

    Just talk to her and and you will want to work with her. Carrie is trustworthy and did not lead us wrong. She is super accommodating, flexible, and professional. She is totally genuine and I appreciate that!

    Cherished in Hawaii did an amazing job!!!

    Mina and her team helped us design our wedding vision from the inception to the wedding day. They created a beautiful green, gold and white color scheme, they know all the best wedding photographers and the food their vendor catered was delicious. They put together a clean timeline for us follow on the day of the wedding so that we could enjoy our day without worrying about anything wedding related aside from looking our best.

    Absolutely love this team! From the initial meeting with Mina, to the day of execution by Leah and Jayvee, my wife and I felt like we were in good hands several months leading up to the wedding. In fact, we are sitting here now 3 weeks post wedding still so very happy that we decided to go with CIHW for their day of wedding coordination package.

    Leah and Jayvee rocked out like rockstars on the day of the wedding. There’s way too much to list here, but from the beginning of the day until the end of the reception, Leah was ON TOP of everything and made sure that no matter what kind of obstacles we had that day – that the day would be a great one – and it sure was and exceeded both of our expectations. We’re still not sure how Jayvee decorated the entire reception so beautifully. We even joke around now saying that “If it was storming during the ceremony and the roof was burning down at the reception, Leah and Jayvee would still ensure the wedding was awesome with a smile on their face”.

    If we had to do it again, we’d hire them no questions asked and would consider the full coordination package. From the both of us to the CIHW team – Fa’afetai Lava and Cam On Nhieu!

    We are an Australian couple who were married in Hawaii this October. As you can imagine a daunting task getting married in a foreign olace and country with 80 of our closest friends and family. Well we found Carrie. This woman not only promised to deliver the wedding of our dreams, but actually delivered a Wedding better than we could have ever imagined. Her communication and then execution of what we wanted was unbelievable. Carrie and her infinite team/network of everything from husband Mark (our celebrant) to the florists, wait staff, chefs, musicians, bar tenders not only delivered on every promise but they dealt and worked with us with a smile and caring nature that was truely exceptional. As you can tell we could not recommend Carrie and the team more highly. Without her the best day of our lives would never have come true. (We even had guests, some of whom already happily married, that our wedding was the best day of their lives.) The hilariously ridiculous thing is there are literally plently of other planners who charge more than Carrie and I can be certain would not deliver the personal service that Carrie did us. An absolute no brainer we would recommend Carrie to anyone. Thankyou Carrie - we are forever grateful for your hard work and dedication.

    When I started looking for a wedding coordinator I basically started from zero – I had no vision, no real idea of what I wanted. The only thing I knew was that we wouldn’t be able and also didn’t want to spend so much money and that we wanted to have a beautiful memorable day.

    I’m so grateful for having found the team at CHERISHED IN HAWAII WEDDINGS. Carrie listened carefully to me and understood that I can be all over the place with my thoughts and ideas and she was great at helping me understand what is most important to us for our wedding day and she found a way to combine that with our budget. There were always so many things to decide and to consider but there was always support, quick replies, advice, great suggestions throughout the whole process.

    We had a beautiful wedding with a breathtaking view, gorgeous dinner, great staff, and guests who had lots of fun.

    It’s because the team at CHERISHED IN HAWAII helped us understand and reminded us that in the end all that matters is that the bride and groom have fun on their special day and to let others do the work. That’s all it takes because then your guests can’t help but have a great time too.

    It helped so much that the whole team is very positive, and that they all are grounded people who respect each other and work really well together. They all had a great way of making you understand that the bride and groom decide how they want things. We just had to express a concern or wish and every single person on the CHERISHED IN HAWAII team was quick at taking care of things. It felt good to have so many people you can trust and who stay calm for you and put in all their experience into your special day where things are usually emotional and crazy.


    Thank you, CHERISHED IN HAWAII, for an unforgettable beautiful day.

    Friendly, Professional, & Organized!

    Cherished in Hawaii Weddings did an amazing job as my day-of coordinator! One thing I really appreciated is that we were able to rehearse my ceremony enough times and go through it with more detail and as a quick walk through. Everyone on my bridal party felt confident that they knew exactly what they were doing, what was being said, and at what time. CIHW also did an amazing job overseeing my reception and I'm so glad I got to work with them. Thank you CIHW!!
