- Whether you're on a neighboring island, on the mainland or across the world, we're here to help you plan your perfect wedding on Maui. Contact us through our contact form on the website to get started and tell us a little bit about yourself! We'll set up a Zoom call to get to know each other and discuss the vision for your wedding day and overall expectations of our partnership together. We'll review your venue details (if you've booked one), go through an overview of the vendor selection process, explain how we help you navigate budgeting and discuss how our entire planning process works to create a highly personalized and stress-free event. It’s important to us that during this consultation, you’ll get the ‘bird’s eye’ and ‘big picture’ idea of what to expect at each milestone and what we will manage on your behalf. By the end of our call, you'll know exactly what the next steps are and feel confident in securing your wedding date with us.
- After our virtual consultation, we'll prepare an estimated proposal and contract that outlines the services and investment you will want to plan for to create your dream wedding with us.

We're here to help share details, address your concerns regarding scope & estimate of budget, and any possible increases you could anticipate during the process.

We'll collaborate alongside you the entire time to ensure that the overall design feels personal, story-driven and showcases your love and vision. Because we want you to be completely satisfied with your wedding design, we'll present up to three design ideas on this call and provide up to three revisions post-call digitally to ensure we're on track. Any revisions beyond three will be billed at an hourly rate.
- The day-of timeline can be one of the most important aspects of the wedding day. That's why we specifically craft a personalized detailed timeline to your unique event. We will go over the details of the ceremony and chat about the overall experience of the “run of show” when it comes to your photos and reception. Draft timelines are also sent to your vendors for their input, especially from the photo and video team as we coordinate the collaboration of all involved. Individualized timelines are also created for wedding party members, immediate family members, and any other important players of the big day.
Once you arrive on-island, we do one last in-person review of the details of the day. We also review the tangibles from the wedding like guest book, place settings, favors and other items you want our team to set up and manage day of. Here we can review the final timeline and discuss day-of logistics and anything else that is needed. We account for final headcount, song selections, and any requested vendor adjustments. We pride ourselves on making sure that every detail is accounted for! - We made it - and let’s do the rehearsal! We will practice the processional and recessional with your wedding party and family members. Our years of experience will help guide your wedding party to the dos and don’ts for a seamless wedding ceremony. Our trusted rehearsal method will have wedding party members feeling comfortable, confident and ready to walk down the aisle the following day! *for full-service package
- From the first rental drop off in the morning, to the arrival of every vendor, we are there to make sure that the day goes smoothly. Hours of coverage specifically are based on your package. You can rest assured that we’re onsite facilitating communication between all vendors and making any changes as needed as they come up based off your lead and prior planning requests. Our couples get to relax and enjoy their day, and we take care of the rest.
