    The BEST, most AMAZING wedding planner we could ask for. Our dream wedding come true!

    Erica, Emily + Team Couture are the most amazing, talented people and design planners in the Maui Wedding Industry. From our initial virtual consultation to the first time we (met which was just a few days before our wedding) and all of the moments in between, we were constantly, insanely impressed by the planning, designing, organization and execution of our day. To us, they were flawless.

    We were able to completely trust them and all of our vendors on and enjoy the entirety of our wedding day by being present and focused on what mattered; the start of our marriage and being with our friends and family.

    Team Couture, thank you for being some of the most authentic, passionate people we've ever worked with. Working with you felt like working with friends we trust with our hearts (and our wallet). We trusted the process of planning a wedding from the mainland because of your expertise. You made us feel seen, heard and a priority 1,001% of the time. We are so so grateful.

    We hope you never forget the lasting impact you've made on one of the most special, unforgettable days of peoples' lives, including ours. We were able to give our loved ones an experience of a lifetime because of you. ❤️

    Best of the best!

    Erica of Couture Events is the best of the best! As a vendor, I was so impressed with everything. We have worked with wedding and event coordinators and have seen how so many small details can get left behind or missed. Not with Couture Events. They have it down! So classy, elegant, and calm. Thank you again for having us. We highly recommend Couture Events and would LOVE to work together again and again. Mahalo Nui!

    Couture Events's reply:

    Thank you so much Haku Mill! The feeling is soooo mutual and we LOVE working with you too! I am looking forward to many more events together in the future! xx

    Best Decision Ever!

    I cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about Erica, Emily and Erica's entire team. A bride hires a wedding planner to make the planning process easier and Erica certainly did that. But to truly enjoy the process of planning a wedding is almost unheard of. When talking with family and friends and the inevitable question comes up of "How is wedding planning going?", my response was always how everything was going great and how much I truly loved my wedding planner and her team. And every single time I said this, people would respond with how they've never heard of someone loving their planner or enjoying the process as much as I did.

    I found Erica almost a year before our original wedding date, as my fiancé and I were parting ways with our previous wedding planner we hired on the islands. I will never forget our first phone call as I was in tears explaining our current situation of being planner-less and being even more stressed than before. Erica's demeaner was instantly calming and little did I know, this would be a common theme throughout our wedding planning process managing the ups and downs of Covid. Erica was constantly in the know about the restrictions on the island and was coming up with solutions every time a new problem was presented. I think I cried on the phone with her more than some of my own girlfriends but every time I was panicked about the restrictions on the island haltering my wedding day, she would tell me to not go down a rabbit hole (LOL, guilty as charged) and that I could contact her whenever I was feeling uneasy.

    Every single vendor we worked with, and I mean every single one, from the hotel staff, to the florist, to the furniture vendors, would tell me how Erica is the best and how much they all respected her. She had a way of always coming up with exactly what I wanted while treating every vendor of mine with respect - you can tell that goes a long way with people on the island. Everyone seems to know everyone and word definitely gets around if someone (a planner, vendor, etc) is generally unpleasant to work with. I hadn't heard a single negative thing about Erica or her team - always about how nice she is and how she is the best.

    A few months before the wedding, we knew we needed to hire Erica and her team for my welcome party and rehearsal dinner and again, best decision ever. I was able to relax a lot more, my husband was happy that I was less stressed, and my parents felt confident knowing Erica had every.single.detail handled so we could all enjoy ourselves with our family and friends. Covid restrictions seemed to be changing weekly and I could barely keep up with the changes but Erica and her team were always one step ahead.

    After having 3 different wedding dates, the day was finally here! My wedding day (and week!) was the most amazing time of my husband and I's life. It was better than we even imagined. I was so relaxed and elated. I didn’t hear of a *single* mishap or problem (not that I was expecting to) but sometimes things are out of your control and you just have to roll with it. But nope, not a single issue. I made a point of asking friends and family how everything was on their end (since I was too busy on cloud 9) and they had nothing but rave reviews. Erica even had one of the gals on her team (I forgot her name, ahh!) who was a stylist and was there to help myself and my bridesmaids with any wardrobe mishaps. You would be surprised at how many of my girls needed a last minute stitch here or there, even after getting their dresses altered beforehand by a seamstress. My dream of having an Amalfi coast themed wedding as an ode to our Italian roots finally came true! From our hand painted clay tiles as name cards, to the giant lemon tree in the middle of our beautiful circular bar (shoutout to Mandy Grace Designs - truly brilliant), the woven lanterns and string lights hanging over our reception, and last but not least, our traditional Italian wedding cake - millefoglie!

    I cannot express how important it is to have a wedding planner on the islands, especially if you are planning from the mainland. But more so, it's important to make sure you enjoy the process before your big day and have every ounce of confidence in your planner and her team that everything will be perfect. And it was perfect, and beautiful, and I wish I could go back every day and relive it. Our friends and family tell us every day how we wish we were all back on the islands together celebrating our wedding because it was just THAT amazing.

    We couldn’t have done it without Erica and her team. She saved me a lot of tears and stress and just for that reason alone, I'd hire her over and over again. But I truly felt like I came away from this wedding with a new friend in Erica. She made my wedding day feel like a dream and for that, I will forever be thankful.

    Best decision we made!

    We feel so grateful to have had Erica of Couture Events as our wedding planner. She not only had incredible taste, creative solutions to road bumps, and knowledge of every vendor, but she also became a good friend throughout the process. We really looked forward to talking with Erica and getting to know her and share our vision. We had an unfortunate hiccup with our first choice venue and Erica came to the rescue to deliver a new venue that was even better than our original plan. It brought us so much peace of mind knowing she was in our corner, especially when planning a destination wedding from thousands of miles away.

    Erica went above and beyond to plan and deliver our perfect wedding; we trusted her guidance and expertise with our design and many important decisions throughout the process. She also has an amazing team of coordinators who helped make our wedding day run so smoothly. Choosing Erica as your wedding planner is the best advice I could give any bride! She brought our dream wedding to life and our guests are still telling us how beautiful our celebration was.

    Couture Events's reply:

    You are the sweetest! It was such a pleasure to get to know you and Adam throughout the planning process. I had a lot of fun! Your wedding was gorgeous (you have great taste) and your family and friends were all so sweet. Please keep in touch and come back to visit soon! Maui will be waiting for you!

    With Aloha,

    Erica Goldsmith

    Erica is the best of the best!

    When my husband and I began wedding planning, we knew we wanted a destination wedding, so choosing the ideal coordinator for us was such an important decision. After falling in love with a venue, I asked them for a list of preferred coordinators, and thank goodness, Couture Events was on the list! Erica was incredible to work with, and she constantly went above and beyond! Erica has an amazing energy and such great taste and style. She truly brought together the best of the best to make our day utter perfection. From being so open and inspired by our specific wedding vision to being detail oriented and flexible from day 1, Erica clearly loves her job and excels at it. We had a very tight timeline because of the way we wanted our day to go, and inevitably, certain things went over time or had to be shifted around. What I appreciated so much about Erica is that she absorbed all the stress and chaos, and presented me with choices that made sense without disturbing the flow and energy of the wedding. Erica made us feel so taken care of and she really wanted us to be happy - that much was very clear. I loved every second working with her, and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

    Couture Events's reply:

    You are too sweet. Thank you so much for the kind words. I loved everything about your wedding and the planning process with you and Andrew. I can't wait for you to come back to Maui! Don't be a stranger! xx

    Erica is the best! She understood the vision and feeling that I wanted at my wedding and made it happen! She was so organized throughout the whole process and I trusted with every detail. I worked with Erica for over a year planning my destination wedding and she was always diligent about responding to me and following through with things we discussed. All my wedding guests were impressed with the execution of the event and all the thoughtful details. It was so nice to relax the day of my wedding and the days before and after because I knew Erica had everything under control. I would definitely recommend Erica and her team. Thank you!! <3

    Erica and her team are incredible. I could not have asked for a better wedding coordinator. Professionally I am also a Wedding Planner, so to find a coordinator that put me at ease was so wonderful. I was able to turn off work mode and enjoy my day. Erica and hear team set everything up perfectly and the event flowed semlessly. Erica is sweet as can be and has the most calming presence. Every vendor she recommend was amazing. I highly recommend Erica and her team to anyone.

    Couture Events's reply:

    Thank you so much, Aubrey. Such a great review from you means the world to me, especially since you are a fellow coordinator. I am so happy for you and Tom and am glad that you were able to enjoy your wedding day and turn off work mode. You were such a pleasure to work with. I hope we can collaborate in the future!

    We can't thank Erica enough for making our wedding day a spectacular one! 2 months later, we still look at our pictures every day and just smile.

    We and our guests were blown away by the beauty of the venue (including the incredible florals), the refreshing welcome drinks and amazing food, the fantastic fire dance performance, and overall attention to detail (down to the color of pens for the ukulele!) . One of our friends even said "I'm so glad we got married before Mike & Andrea, because there is no way we could have topped this wedding!”.

    Erica and her team went well above and beyond what we asked or expected, and truly appreciate their efforts and commitment to a flawless event. Each of the vendors greatly exceeded our expectations and Erica did her best to work within our budget.

    Without reservation, we highly recommend Erica for making your special day unforgettable!

    We were nervous about planning a destination wedding from a distance but Erica's organization, expertise and creativity took something that could have been stressful and made it fun and exciting. From sending detailed timelines and budget updates, providing a choice of quality vendors (every vendor we picked from her list was amazing), phone conferences and in-person meetings once we arrived, Erica's attention to detail gave us confidence that we were in good hands from start to finish. She even managed to deal with a rather large (and extremely rare!) hiccup the day of our wedding when a storm - power outage - fire - road closure on Maui caused us to have to postpone everything until the next day. Erica calmly contacted each vendor and re-organized the entire wedding within hours. She truly went above and beyond to ensure that our vision happened just the way we wanted. So many of our guests said that it was the best wedding that had ever been to and that they felt like they were in a movie or a fairy tale. We could not have been happier with how everything turned out on our special day (or day later : ). Erica truly is the best in the business and if you are looking to create your dream wedding in paradise then Couture Events is the wedding planner to choose.

    Couture Events's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words Sarah and Alex! I had so much fun helping you design and plan your wedding. It is one I will never forget! Thank you for allowing me to be such a big part of your special day(s)! I hope to see you back in Maui next summer. Cheers!

    Erica was an absolute gem and we couldn't have planned our wedding without her! She was incredibly organized, professional, and so pleasant to work with. Her vendors are all top notch and she kept us right on schedule as we progressed. Neither of us is particularly artsy or good at articulating when it comes to matters of design and yet she was able to translate our cryptic thoughts into just the most beautifuly styled ceremony/reception/venue. On our big day she was on top of everything (in fact when she didn't like the quality of the chairs delivered she even managed to get the vendors to send us upgraded chairs free of charge) and also yet so unobtrusive as she went around making sure the night ran perfectly. We would recommend her whole-heartedly to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator! You won't find one better!

    Couture Events's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words Trish and Nick! I had so much fun helping you design and plan your wedding! I will never forget your first dance! You nailed it! #bestfirstdanceever #twobecomechun Congrats!

    Our wedding would not have been possible if it wasn't for Erica. She is very detailed oriented, extremely organized, and knows her stuff when it comes to anything wedding! She would always respond to me right away, had all the answers to my questions, would have great suggestions that I would have never thought of, and treated my wedding like it was her own. I can't say enough about how much Erica did for us and we are so so thankful that we decided to use her services for our wedding. She goes above and beyond and will for sure make your event the best it can possibly be! Thank you Erica!

    When we decided to get married on Maui, we assumed it would be easy to throw it all together. When it came down to planning all the details.... the permits, the license, the location, the officiant, the flowers and photographer... it was more stress than I wanted to take on. The whole of idea of eloping was to ENJOY every stress free minute of bliss together. Erica Goldsmith with Couture Events does it ALL with style and grace. Everything was planned out perfectly!! Our photographer was AMAZING (Wendy Laurel), the flowers were beyond gorgeous and our officiant was warm and wonderful. Erica thought of everything and her attention to detail spot on! It was the dream wedding right out of a magazine photo shoot and we were able to enjoy every second. I cannot say enough good things about Couture Events. If you are planning a small intimate ceremony or a large gathering... I promise your will expectations will be met above and beyond.

    Erica was absolutely amazing to work with! I was not even sure what our vision for the wedding was but she helped from the very beginning to the end to create an incredible event that my guests are still raving about. She is so flexible, easy and fun to work with and thinks of every last detail. She drove us around the island looking at venues and meeting vendors when we visited for a few days and helped us make ALL of the right decisions (vendors, wedding design, venue, etc). The week of the wedding she handled everything and we were able to just relax and enjoy time with our loved ones. Our wedding was just beautiful and could not have gone more smoothly all thanks to her!!

    The wedding was so much more than I ever imagined! Thanks to Couture Events, every last detail was perfect! Erica has an extraordinary talent to coordinate a unique and beautiful wedding. From the breathtaking arrangements, to the tasteful placecards, Erica made sure that everything was flawless. The entire wedding was planned with her over the phone from Seattle. Without having to worry, we just relaxed and enjoyed the week before with our friends and family on Maui! We still get compliments about how amazing our wedding day turned out. My hard to impress husband still shows the photos and talks about our wedding! I highly recommend Couture Events on Maui for anyone planning a wedding.
