    Wedding at Hale Koa Estate

    Yanicke and her team were absolutely amazing! They went above and beyond with everything. Everything was coordinated to a T. The vendors she recommended were all amazing. Guests couldn’t stop raving about the food and the aesthetics. Our wedding was more than we could have dreamed of. If you are planning a wedding in Oahu or any other area serviced by Zenju Weddings you absolutely need to give them a call!

    Highly Recommend

    We had the most beautiful wedding. As soon as we met Yanicke, we were captivated by her passion and commitment to bringing our vision to life. Her skillset matched her ambitious nature. As we planned our special day with her over the past year and a half, she was highly organized, always accessible, and consistently communicated with us. I was impressed with her commitment to quality and authenticity. To ensure the highest level of service, she partners with the best vendors in the industry. She always went above and beyond our expectations, made sure all the details were on point, and was transparent with the budget. Aside from planning the wedding, she recommended hotels, restaurants and activities to coordinate for our guests. On the day of wedding, she ensured that all the details were executed thoroughly, and supported throughout the day ensuring that our vision came to life. We're grateful and fortunate to have worked with Yanicke. There aren't enough words to describe her dedication, commitment, and passion.

    Awwww Maksim and AJ I am not sure where to start. I might get emotional! You both were such amazing clients. You put complete trust in us from so far away. I know it’s difficult to do. It truly touched me how impressed you were with the reveal of the Jumanji space. It meant the world to me that you both were so impressed. I put my heart and soul into this wedding and it showed. I miss you both so much! I hope we see each other again. Please visit for your one year anniversary 🥰😘😍 Congratulations on your new chapter!

    Great help!

    I hired Zenju Weddings for my wedding on July 15, 2023. They were a great value for the service provided. They had zoom meetings, were there at the rehearsal, and was there on the wedding day the entire time! They helped create a timeline for our wedding. I was most impressed with how they set up my venue and helped clean up. I don’t know what I would have done without them! It made that part stress-free. The team set everything up beautifully and we’re such a help taking everything down. At the end of the wedding, everything was already in boxes so we just needed to pack the car and go! I’m thankful I had Zenju weddings for my special day.

    Zenju Weddings and Events of Hawaii, LLC's reply:

    Aloha Melody,
    We loved you guys! You both were so kind and loved all of your unique details for your special day, especially the content writer who we are going to hire to do our social media for us. She is great! You were such a stunning bride full of charisma! Post photos here if you would like. Mahalo for your kind words and congratulations on your new chapter!!! 🥰

    Awesome wedding planner

    Yanicke and Shay worked so hard to make our day special. Without her our wedding wouldn’t been as memorable or magical as it was! Everything went smoothly on the day of the wedding, and even when something came up around videography Shay resolved it in 5 minutes. I didn’t need to stress! The vendors they matched us with were awesome. They knew the vision we had and they made it come to life. My guests said it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to.

    Zenju Weddings and Events of Hawaii, LLC's reply:

    Awww Thank you Frances. I want to deeply thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your trust in our process. This has been one of the most challenging years, post pandemic. The wedding industry was slammed with more than we ca. handle, but you both were so patient, kind, and put your trust into us. That is the best thing I can ask of our clients. Shay and I wish you all the best on your new chapter. ❣️🙏🏽😘 Pls come back and visit soon.

    Amazing experience!

    We had our wedding at Loulu Palms 8.8.22. Hiring Zenju weddings was the best decision we made to plan and coordinate our wedding. Yanicke and all her staff are all very organized and professional. They made our wedding vision come to life. We live in Florida and we were scared of planning the wedding from a long distance but Yanicke made the process easy. All of the vendors she recommendations were amazing. The wedding was extremely organized and ran smoothly. All my guest were super impressed on how everything turned out. They all had an amazing time. Our wedding wouldn’t have turned out as great as it did if it wasn’t for Zenju weddings. We’re so happy that they were part of our special day.

    Onesis and Pavel thank you soooooo much for choosing me to plan your special day! Your style and grace was so admirable… I will miss you both. Please come back again for your one year anniversary!!! ❤️

    Must have wedding coordinator

    If I could suggest one thing about planning a wedding, is to hire Zenju weddings!! We had our wedding at Turtle Bay Resort at the Northshore Oahu on 6/26/2022. Having Yanicke and her staff help with the wedding process just eliminated all sorts of stress. Trust me when I say this.

    Let me give you a back story. I hired a different wedding coordinator back in January 2022 and by mid-April 2022, none of my vendors were booked. My wedding was one and a half months away!!! I had no flowers, no photography/videography, no DJ, no decoration, etc. The wedding coordinator did a "no-show" to our monthly zoom calls, twice!! I knew that it was time to fire that terrible wedding coordinator and hired a new one. I was desperate. One other thing to mention too, we live in Los Angeles, CA, and planning our destination wedding was already scary. Thank goodness Yanicke came to the rescue. I spent an hour with Yanicke on the phone discussing my situation, she felt so bad for me that she gave me all of her vendors' contacts (before signing any contract with her due to my time frame). She made me feel so comfortable. From that point, it was smooth sailing since.

    On our wedding day, Yanicke and all her staff are very organized and professional. They made our wedding vision come to life. The wedding was extremely organized and ran smoothly. I could've been happier. All my guest were super impressed with how everything turned out, everyone had an amazing time. Our wedding day was just simply perfect, thanks to Zenju weddings.

    Zenju Weddings and Events of Hawaii, LLC's reply:

    Serena we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You were such a stunning bride. Reading this review made me a little emotional. Remembering what you went through with that wedding planner was awful. I’m so happy you found us and it was a pleasure helping your through your special day. Please don’t be a stranger… Also thanks to you we were put on Turtle Bay’s preferred vendors list. You are amazing! Congratulations to you and Brad!!! 🙏🏽❤️

    Magical wedding

    Yanicke was an amazing wedding planner and made my vision come to life. Planning a wedding across the world isn’t easy and I felt at ease knowing she was with me every step of the way. She gave great advice and picked the best vendors. She thought of every little detail that most wouldn’t know. I had complete trust in her and all the choices. My wedding day was magical and beautiful. I can’t thank yanicke enough for making this process so easy and helping create the best night of our lives !

    Zenju Weddings and Events of Hawaii, LLC's reply:

    Chloe and Carlos,
    Thanks for the kind words. You both will be missed and please return soon. I’m so happy I was able to satisfy your needs and produce your vision. Enjoy your new chapter…. Mahalo Niu Loa ❤️

    She went above and beyond for us

    I do not know where to start. I hired Yanicke from Zenju Weddings. I loved her vibe and her realness. She tells you the truth and not what I want to hear. She thought of details we did not think of. I had no idea of design. I went on my Pintrest and sent her so many pictures and was all over the place. She simplified my design which created a very classy feel. The colors, the fabrics, the draping, the lawn furntiure was all so uniqiue. I gave her complete control and told her to surprise me. I was definitely surprised! It was so beautiful with vintage couches by the ocean with a regal touch. My guests could not stop complimenting me on the design. The wedding was flawless!!! We ran a little behind schedule due to the Zenju staff having to check all the vaccination cards, but she caught back up in the timeline. We were back on track. All her vendors were amazing and fit our budget and style perfectly. The only flaw in the planning is that some of the tasks took awhile to be completed, but she did state in her contract that all tasks are in order of wedding date, so I expected that.

    Our special day was way much more than I imagined. This would not have been possible with out Yanicke and the Zenju staff. I trusted her and she went above and beyond. I highly recommend Zenju Weddings and Events of Hawaii.... She is amazing at what she does! We live in France and we will be back in ten years to do our vow renewal with Zenju Wedddings again. You won't be disappointed but you have to release control and trust your coordinator! Let them do their job...

    Zenju Weddings and Events of Hawaii, LLC's reply:

    Lucy it was such a pleasure working for you and Frank. Your family was so lovely to us. Thank you for trusting us with your special day. I will be more than happy to do your vow renewal in ten years and I will give you a big discount for using us a 2nd time. Have a safe flight back to France. We will miss you guys!!!

    Great advice and budgeting. Tells you like it is! Makes you feel great! 🥰

    I realize now that you get what you pay for, and i will go to Zenju again for every silver gold diamond or whatever kind wedding out there to commemorate each decade married . Shoulda listened to Yanicke back in may, but the venue itself which shes referred herself after hearing out my wants for a wedding, in a snap! It was figured out. I know what to save for next time

    Zenju Weddings and Events of Hawaii, LLC's reply:

    Irene,

    You are so lovely! I am so happy you loved the venue. You are such a lovely person and I wish you and your husband a lifetime of happiness. Please call me for your ten year vow renewal. I will be here for you:)

    A Hawaiian dream come true.

    Zenju Weddings & Events has been by far the best choice my husband and I could have ever made. At first we thought about planning a huge wedding here in Florida. But with COVID and it’s up and downs we figured a destination wedding for just him and I was the best option. He randomly chose Honolulu, Hawaii and being that I am Polynesian it just seemed like the perfect place. No matter if you’re planning a huge, small, or elopement wedding. I highly recommend Zenju Weddings & Events to make your dreams come to life. If you’re on a budget or even rich, they will make your vision come to life.

    We spoke with Yanicke in the beginning of this year over the phone. She was trustworthy from the very start. You could tell she knows what she’s doing just by conversing with her. She took words out of my mouth as if she was in my head. She painted me this picture of a dream wedding on the beach. I’ve envisioned this since I was a young girl. If not, it was way more than I could have even fathom. I felt so comfortable with placing our wedding in her hands. From the very start she made us feel like we had no worries. With COVID going on, it was/is a scary feeling not knowing how things could end up. But for some reason she made us feel like this was completely possible. From day one right after speaking with her, we knew we were going to sign her contract and hire Zenju Weddings & Events. It just felt right! She communicated with us from start to finish. Provided us numerous emails, texts, and phone calls with all details. Yanicke always made us feel like we could contact her at anytime. As busy of a woman that she is with many booked weddings and elopements at hand, she always had time for our random questions or concerns. She took care of literally everything. A true multitasker!
    And when I tell you to trust her, I mean in all shapes and forms. There’s no fear when it comes to Zenju! This company, their employees and vendors are top of the line. I don’t just write reviews for anything or anyone. But when a person or people go above and beyond for me or the people I love. They deserve for the world to know how much they mean to me and how much they can mean to someone else. Each and every vendor from makeup/hair stylist, assistant, photographer, videographer, officiant, florist, musician/singer and of course the one and only, our wedding planner, Yanicke Lim Sang fulfilled our wedding dreams.

    It doesn’t matter if your family like mine are not physically there, you will feel the love regardless. Each and everyone of these individuals were remarkable, loving, welcoming, brought great energy, and are just overall genuine people. I completely fell in love with all of them. It makes me tear up how much they made my wedding day. I would relive that day everyday if I could. I felt no stress what so ever. Yanicke really did such an amazing job. You can tell that she truly loves what she does because it shows.

    Believe in this team, believe in Yanicke! She will not let you down, I promise anyone that. I had THE best wedding I could have ever wanted. She is worth every penny and so much more. Her presence alone will make your day. These human beings were sent from the man above. Hawaii is just the place to be. She will recommend you to nothing but the best and provide you that too. Thank you Zenju Weddings & Events. Thank you, Yanicke, Finau, and all of your vendors. We love all of you and will never forget what you’ve done for my husband and I. I am grateful beyond words. You placed yourselves in our hearts forever more. I can’t wait for our anniversary in Hawaii. I can’t wait to reunite with everyone again. I can’t thank you all enough. You are a dream come true. All of you! Blessings to all! I hope anyone who reads this passes this on and believes in them just like I did. I am the happiest wife you can imagine. There was no bridezilla in me. I can truly go on and on. They will make a significant impact in your life. Our wedding was a Hawaiian fairy tale with a fairy godmother, Yanicke. Oh what magical powers you have. Aloha!!! Mahalo!!! From the happiest newlyweds, Gena and Kahm. We love you all!

    Professional and responsive

    Yanicke is amazing. Despite covid pushing us back a year, she gave us the wedding of our dreams. She's professional yet tenacious in the best way, especially as covid guidelines changed constantly and affected our venue. Communication was often and quick. I honestly had little idea what my wedding should look like, so she designed the whole thing. It was stunning and pretty much in budget. She had it handled from start to finish. Plus her preferred vendor list? Awesome. There was excellent talent there. Thanks a ton Yanicke.

    Zenju Weddings and Events of Hawaii, LLC's reply:

    Words cannot describe how grateful I am for the clients who put their trust in me for their special day and that's exactly what you did. Your event was so memorable and such a beautiful family. You were such an understanding and patient bride. I will miss you guys and your family. Have a lovely new chapter. Mahalo:)

    So I had to create an account with WEDDINGWIRE just to leave a review for Zenju Weddings and Events of Hawaii. My husband and I recently got married in Hawaii. We are a local couple and wanted a classy local wedding on a budget. If you are local you know it is difficult to have a local wedding on a budget, only because our weddings are huge! My wedding was 450 guests. Yanicke from Zenju Weddings gave me the classiest and fun wedding at a beautiful venue at Kualoa Ranch (where Jurrassic Park was filmed). She is amazing at her budget, design, and timeline. I started to freak out about money. My family were hitting up every hook up within the wedding industry they could think of. She met with us and was very straight up with us and explained to us that if me and my family would trust her, miraculous things could happen, but if we took everything into our own hands, it would make her job more difficult. She stressed to us, you have to trust your coordinator, which was hard for me to do since I'm a control freak. But I admired her honesty. I sat back and let her do her thing. Our wedding was gorgeous with such amazing landscape. She picked a venue that had such a beautiful backdrop, that we didn't need so much decor. He design elegance is simplicity. We were able to afford all professional vendors that she negotiated great deals for us. They were her preferred vendors but we were open to use anyone we wanted to, but we trusted her vendors, since she works with them consistently. If it wasn't for Yanicke I would have had a hectic back yard wedding with my family cooking the food, playing music, emceeing, and them taking over! It would have been chaotic!!!! Yanicke and her team made my special day stress free and beautiful. She made a 30,000.00 wedding look like a 60,000.00 wedding. We couldn't be happier! Thank you to the Zenju staff!!!! Mahalo ....

    It was a wedding of my dreams. Yanicke was very awesome about pointing me into the right direction when it came to planning my destination wedding. Yanicke and her staff really went out of their way to make it perfect for my husband and I to enjoy the day of, everything went so smooth. I would totally recommend to anyone planning a destination wedding in Hawaii.

    We had our wedding organised by Zenju Weddings in Kapolei. We're from Australia, so we indeed needed a planner to take care as many details as possible. I have to say that Yanicke did an exceptional job in organising the event. She took care of everything and she was very good at explaining what choices we had. She was able to work within the budget we gave her initially. In the end, the wedding was absolutely perfect and it was also the exact way we pictured and wanted it. I would highly recommend Zenju Wedding to anyone that is planning to organise one such important event!

    It doesn't matter if you're Jesus and you just proposed to Aphrodite. Planning a wedding is going to be one of the most stressful experiences, especially if it's a destination wedding. However, this entire experience would've been a complete disaster if it wasn't for Yanicke at Zenju to coordinate and plan this out. We were caught completely off guard by the sheer amount of minute details that no one really takes into consideration when planning the biggest party of your life. Yanicke calmly walked us through everything and easily laid out our vision of the night in a perfect timeline. Everything was well put together, on time, and somewhat stress free. Thank you again Yanicke for a perfect wedding! Couldn't have done it without you!!!

    Quentin and Christina, I am so honored you chose me to plan your special day. You are mroe than welcome and very happy I could step in and assist you with your vision. I understand you went through major stress with your venue before finding us. I'm thrilled I was able to make this a memorable affair. Please keep in touch!!!! You are a lovely couple and the Zenju team wishes you all the best. Mahalo!

    Zenju Wedding (Yanicke and Staff) worked flawlessly during our welcome night, wedding rehearsal, and on our wedding day. On our welcoming night, they worked with control and was very professional, courteous, and pleasant with all of our families and friends who stayed with us. We know we are destined to meet Yanicke to achieve our dream wedding and so we did. From the moment we sat down and draft our first plan she already blew our minds with so many beautiful ideas about our event.

    She is very organized and very easy to work with. During our wedding, Yanicke did a super job, to ensure that we had an amazing wedding experience. All of her vendors arrived on time and worked independently, without a sign of them being rushed or too stressed. It was a smooth flow the way they worked. She was very attentive to detail. For example, our wedding ceremony on the garden was none other than we have ever experienced. It was set up so beautifully and majestically that we wish we could keep going back to that moment over and over again.

    She helped us find the best vendors. We highly recommend all her wedding vendors. They are the…B-E-S-T. The set-up Yanicke and I planned is simple but she made is look super elegant. We dance underneath the stars as she promised to us, which makes the wedding night more romantic. The reggae band and the DJ are the best. Everybody got up in their seats and dances the night away. There's so much overflowing of happiness surrounding us that day. She was also able to find us the best "fire dancers" and everybody in the wedding are overwhelmed with excitement when they saw the fire dancers (highly recommend). My family and friends can't forget our wedding night. Yanicke became more a good friend/family to us than a wedding planner. She did above and beyond and we really appreciate all the work she put into our wedding.

    Faye and Ben it was such a great pleasure planning your special day and thanks for the kind words. I do want you to know this experience was so smooth because you both were trusting. Having trust in your wedding coordinator is a hard concept for most to grasp, but since you both trusted me it allowed me to do the best that I can. I will miss you! Aloha and congratulations.....

    It was pleasure working with Yanicke in planning our wedding all the way from Texas. With less than 6 months to plan everything it was a challenge from the beginning. In the end we were very pleased with her professionalism, taste and flexibility with all the changes along the way. It was a dream come true to have our Hawaiian destination wedding go so perfectly well. We'll miss the conversations but look forward to attending some of our friends' weddings in Hawaii coordinated by Zenju Weddings and Events. Mahalo!

    Zenju Weddings helped my husband and I plan an amazing wedding in Hawaii, even with short notice. Yanicke was extremely helpful in planning the wedding and on the day of. I felt like I could rely on her to take care of everything, and all my husband and I had to do was show up! She was always easy to reach and most importantly she listened to what I wanted and understood my vision. She helpd turn my dream wedding into a reality, and I highly recommend her to any couple that is interested in getting married in Hawaii. Thanks Yanicke and Zenju!

    My husband and I knew that we wanted a destination wedding and Hawaii seemed like the natural place since we live in San Francisco. Not living near the location of our wedding I knew I needed help with the planning. Zenju was recommended to me by a friend and I am so happy I employed their services! Yanicke was completely professional, knowledgeable, thorough and does her work with a relaxed demeanor that keeps your stress level low. She worked hard to create the wedding we envisioned and she came through with flying colors! Her suggestion of the Beachfront Oasis Estate was great and it proved to be the ideal location. In fact, all the vendors she recommended were perfect and our day couldn't have gone more smoothly. We have wonderful memories we will cherish forever!

    Yanicke helped me organize by wedding for my boyfriend of 12 years and our two children. I suppose we waited long enough. I put the wedding off primarily because I did not want to stress out about it. Yanicke took over every little detail from location, flowers, time of the day, and even make-up !

    She was amazing and organized. I would highly recommend her to any bride to be who wants everything to be perfect with as least stress as possible!

    I rate zenju a 5. I wanted a private wedding and honeymoon in Hawaii but I was unfamiliar with the area. After speaking to me my planner understood what I wanted instantly. I gave them my budget and they were able provide exactly what I wanted. The service is prompt, friendly and most of all professional. I felt that after I dealt with my wedding planner Yanique I found a friend for a lifetime.
