Chloe Sent on 11/22/2024Amazing wedding planner!!!
Hiring Sun was the best decision we made for our wedding. After only one initial call we knew instantly that we HAD to work with her. Her and I (the bride) immediately bonded over our many similarities and our birthdays being one day apart... It also helped that she has impeccable taste! ... ALSO everywhere we went on the island (and we'd mention she was our planner) people in the industry knew her and hold working with her in high regard.
Being based in New Jersey while planning a destination wedding in Hawaii could have easily been stressful, but Sun kept us calm, on track, and was there for us every. single. step of the way.
Sun knew how important it was to my now husband and I (whose family is from there) to incorporate Hawaiian traditions in an authentic and meaningful way and this was evident in every thoughtful detail. She also brought together an incredible team of vendors who matched her level of passion and expertise, making the day extra special.
It's evident that she's the best in her field but more than that, her genuine love for what she does and the care for the couples she works with shines through.
On our wedding day, every detail was executed flawlessly—There are no words to express how she ensured it surpassed our wildest dreams. Our guests are still raving that "this wedding will be hard to beat!"
We'll never forget the best day of our lives that Sun made possible. We miss our chats, planning calls and weekly texts, as she truly became our friend along the way. -

Kristi Sent on 10/29/2024Thank you Sun!
We can't imagine how we could have pulled off our wedding without Sun. After booking my venue and vendors, we had no idea what to do next and reached out to Sun. She helped me to put together the pieces that I didn't even know existed, and helped everything run so smoothly on the wedding day. We had a few things happen that day that could have caused a lot of stress the day of the wedding, but Sun took care of everything to make sure that it ran smoothly and all we had to do was enjoy being with each other and our friends! -

It was an honor having Sun Kim and her team plan our wedding. Sun was responsive and flexible. She was one text away and willingly answered all our random questions, considering we were in different time zones. Sun helped execute our vision and recommended amazing vendors we otherwise wouldn't have found. Our wedding day went smoothly. We felt so relaxed and had so much fun! Thank you again to Sun and her team. -

Mona Sent on 02/20/2024Day-of Wedding coordinator
We booked Sun as our day-of coordinator for our destination wedding in O’ahu. From the initial consultation to the day of the wedding — Sun was friendly and easy to talk to. Since I planned our wedding and had the vision of how I wanted the wedding to be, I provided Sun with all the details and she was able to execute everything to the T on our big day. Our wedding was so beautiful and all our guests complimented us about it all day and weeks to come after—thanks to Sun for listening and following through with all the details!! So even if you are planning your own wedding, trust me when I say you need to hire a professional to coordinate everything on your big day. Your wedding day should be a time where you and your bridesmaid/MOH/family member relaxes and enjoy the day. Thank you Sun we appreciate you and will remember this day forever! -

Sarah Sent on 08/20/2023Best wedding planning team ever!
My husband and I had the best destination wedding we could have ever dreamed of thanks to Sun and the I Do team! We were worried how we were going to do it all from abroad, so we are so glad we had Sun to help us figure out all of the details for the last year and a half! She checked in with us frequently to make sure we were on schedule for all of our deadlines and was very quick to respond whenever we had a question. She even helped us out with some of our more unique asks without hesitation. As people who were not as familiar with the wedding planning process, Sun was very patient with us in explaining the options and a timeline for us. We HIGHLY recommend Sun and the team as wedding coordinators. -

Dear Sun,
We wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for all that you did to make our wedding day at Lanikūhunoa on August 19th, 2022, so incredibly special. We could not have asked for a more perfect day, and we owe so much of that to your hard work, dedication, and attention to detail.
From the moment we first spoke with you, we knew we were in good hands. Your knowledge of the venue and the island, as well as your vast experience in wedding planning, made us feel confident and reassured. Your suggestions for vendors, such as the florist, the caterer, and the photographer, were all spot-on, and we were thrilled with their work.
On the day of the wedding, everything went smoothly, and we were able to relax and enjoy every moment, thanks to your expert coordination. You ensured that every detail, from the ceremony setup to the reception decor, was perfect. We appreciated your professionalism, your calm demeanor, and your ability to handle any unexpected issues that arose.
We have received countless compliments from our guests about how beautiful and seamless the wedding was, and we owe so much of that to you. You went above and beyond to make sure our day was everything we wanted it to be, and for that, we are forever grateful.
We would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a wedding planner, and we feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day at Lanikūhunoa so unforgettable. -

Sun Kim is wonderful to work with. Early in the planning process for our destination wedding, we knew we needed some help getting the details right on the wedding day. Even though I was determined to do the bulk of the planning on my own from DC, we wanted to be sure that our friends and family didn't have to take on anything on the day and we could relax without having to worry about schedules, vendors, set up or take down. From our first call, she carefully laid out exactly what month of coordination services we could expect from her. We were put at ease knowing we were in good hands. From 30 days out, we worked together to set up a timeline/ day of schedule, reception program, turned over all of our vendor contacts (a huge relief to me), and managed details like the guest list, seating chart, bridal party contact info, and more. She ran our rehearsal with care and made sure we were completely confident for the next day. On the day of, she was available for everything I needed and handled all of the details, right down to making sure our malasada cake was plated exactly the way I wanted it. I really appreciated how available she was for communication, even though I seemed to be calling her from a different bridesmaid's phone all day! The ceremony and reception program went exactly as planned and on schedule. There were absolutely no hiccups or mistakes on the day. We are so grateful for her professionalism and attention to detail. The entire wedding was executed to perfection. Thank you Sun Kim and Team for making our wedding so special and stress free! -

Susan Sent on 03/31/2022Stress free!
Sun was amazing to work with! Being the most indecisive person that I am, I knew We needed someone to help us plan our dream wedding. And Sun Kim did just that. She gave great recommendations and gave her professional input on things I was unsure of. From start to finish, we had no stress. We can’t believe how beautiful and seamless everything turned out. She’s the best at what she does. I mean it! -

Mardeen Sent on 03/09/2022Mother of the Groom is a RAVING FAN!
As Mother of the Groom, my son and daughter in law got married in Oahu at the Kualoa Ranch. Sun and team were such an important part of planning their destination wedding. They coordinated everything from the floral arrangements, food, signage, tents/tables, vendors and of course the timing of all activities. I commend Sun's attention to detail and her calm persona!
I also wanted to share something that happened 8 minutes before the wedding ceremony. There was an unexpected twist as my Mother, Aunts and Uncle arrived in a taxi at the bottom of the hill vs directly to the gardens. Sun got in her car and drove down to the bottom of the hill and retrieved them. She helped alleviate stress on both ends by picking them up. I am grateful for her grace in that scenario. She and her team have a raving fan in me! MS -

Lauren Sent on 02/21/2022Wedding perfection
Sun was AMAZING. I live in Canada and so planning a destination wedding on Oahu seemed like a daunting task but Sun made it easy every step of the way. She knew my vision and helped me to select the right vendors to make it a reality. Sun guided me through every step of the wedding process to make sure there were no loose ends and I could just relax when the day arrived. And boy did it exceed my expectations!! Everything was PERFECT start to finish. The day went by seamlessly thanks to Sun and her team. From the decor to the music to the food - people were raving that it was the best wedding they had ever been to! Thank you so much to the Sun and the I DO team for making all my wedding dreams come true! -

Leyen Sent on 11/27/2021My Fairy Godmother Wedding Planner!
Sun was like my fairy godmother wedding planner. I don't know what I would have done without her. Being a bride can be a challenge...being a bride during COVID-19 is a whole different story. I reached out to Sun over a year before my wedding knowing that I needed help as it was a destination wedding. From day one (1), Sun was super responsive and was on it! From multiple COVID restriction/requirement changes on Oahu to a venue change, Sun coordinated everything with all of the vendors and always kept my husband and I updated. If there was an obstacle, Sun was there and ready. She somehow managed to keep me calm throughout the entire process and that is hard for someone who likes to know every single detail. Our wedding day was an absolute dream. I told her what I wanted - the theme, the colors, the vision and she made everything come true. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding and feel so fortunate to have been able to work with Sun. If you have the chance to work with Sun for your wedding, consider yourself lucky! You are in amazing hands - absolutely no regrets and we now have memories to share for the rest of our lives because of her. -

Chiara Sent on 06/18/2021wedding planner turned new friend
I unfortunately was a Covid bride and had to postpone my wedding a year. I also had to switch venues last minute, which caused even more stress. Luckily, I had Sun Kim on my side. We originally decided for her to be a day of coordinator, but when the pandemic hit she not only took the role as a full time wedding planner, but also as a good friend and someone that I could talk to about my frustrations. She listened to my complaints on countless occasions and gave the best possible advice. Her guidance and expertise on wedding planning are unmatched, making her a preferred vendor. Definitely makes sense and well deserved! I will miss talking with her all the time because she truly became a friend of mine. I 1000% recommend Sun Kim and her assistant as your wedding planner. Being a dual military couple, my mother is back home on the East Coast and was not able to assist as much in the wedding planning process, but again I was not worried because of Sun Kim. Thank you, Sun. -

Jkb294 Sent on 02/09/2020Absolutely the best!!!!!!!!
Sun is an absolute pro at what she does! She helped us plan our wedding in 2019. Without her genius and abilities, we would not have had the wedding of our dreams. From the very beginning she kept us on track, provided great ideas and helped our vision become reality. Our wedding would not have happened without her! And on the day of, I had nothing to worry about. My husband and I were able to enjoy our wedding completely stress free. To this day, we STILL get compliments from our guests about how much they loved the wedding. This is all because of Sun and her team. You will not regret working with her! We love Sun! -

Erika Sent on 01/25/2020Attentive to Detail
Sun Kim gave us the care and guidance that we needed, from Day 1. We had a very specific theme in mind for our wedding that we could only describe in a few adjectives. She was on-board, immediately. There were times where we would go off theme a little bit and she was not afraid to let us know if it would clash with what we had already planned. She was graceful and attentive to detail. And our wedding turned out absolutely perfect. We asked for random things to be ready for us that evening like: chilled shots waiting for us at the end of the ceremony, and appetizers waiting on the table for us so that we don't get "Hangry". We could not be happier having Sun help us. But most importantly, we are so happy to have met such a wonderful person whom we'll remember always. -
