Wedding: 8/18/10
I live in Houston and originally hired another individual to help me plan my Kauai wedding, after 3 months, I had to change planners because I didn't have confidence that my vision would be met for my wedding day and I felt that I would be stressed on the wedding day and was being strayed away from my vision due to our budget. I found Hawaii Event Planners and spoke with Angela. She immediately put me at ease. She is extremely professional and always responsive. Angela worked within my budget and when a change needed to be made, she did it with a smile (and there were many last minute changes!). She was extremely flexible and our communication was always open. When my wedding week came. I had a clear agenda and timeline. Everything went as planned. I had barely any last minute running around to do. She took care of everything. We had our reception at Smith's Tropical Garden Luau and the food was spectacular! Everyone raved! The service was immpecible too. The wedding cake and favor vendor she used were awesome! The cake was so delicious, the centerpieces exactly what I asked for and all the leis were fresh and gorgeous. Angela has a good working relationship with many vendors which made it easier to stay within my budget, yet have the wedding of my dreams.Don't waste your time searching for another planner. I am a very picky and detailed person and spoke with at least 8 planners and should have never wasted time and hired Angela on the spot. Here are my top reasons why you should choose Hawaii Event Planners:1. Open and honest communication, immediate responses2. Not pushy and always keeps your vision in mind.3. Extremely professional4. Perfect organization, very detailed5. Works within your budget and accepts changes with a smile6. Relieves so much stress from the bride and the wedding day7. Absolute confidence to get the event done rightAngela is awesome and most of our communication was done via email. Even then, everything went perfect for our wedding. If you want a stress-free event, I fully encourage you to use Hawaii Event Planners.

Hi Angela, I just wanted you to know that I truly appreciated the stellar job you did at Crystal & Scott's wedding on 3/16/10. Really! You left no stone unturned and covered every minute detail. As you know, I have been in the wedding business for over 35 years. And, your professionalism, attention to detail and flexibility are some things I haven't seen very often. I wish you lived in Minnesota, where I would highly recommend you to everyone I know in the event planning and wedding industry! Also, the staff at the Sheraton did an amazing job! The table set up could not have been more perfect. And the wait staff was constantly filling and removing plates and glasses. I never had to ask for more coffee, champagne, etc. It was as if they anticipated our every need. We felt like we were treated royally. As you may have guessed, my daughter and I are very detail oriented and also very specific about what we/she wanted. You certainly did not disappoint either of us. Thank you again for a job that was well over the top and very well done. I just can't say enough!Sincerely,Rev. Tairie Starr (MOB)

Angela was wonderful to work with, and we ended up with the wedding of our dreams at a fraction of the cost that the Grand Hyatt wanted to charge us. Angela made it easy to plan a wedding from so far away. I would recommend Hawaii Event Planners to anyone!

She was very professional and extremely helpful. She even kept people quiet who were standing nearby so we could hear the minister!

I worked with Tina and Angela at Hawaii Event Planners to plan my wedding at the St Regis Princeville. I am so glad that we did use their services as the St Regis contact quit the week before our wedding without any notice. We rode over on a plane with another bride that was getting married at the St Regis who had to plan their wedding the day before the event because they had decided to go direct with the hotel and could not get a hold of someone at the St Regis until then. Apparently this happens all the time with resorts with people coming and going, so I am glad we hired an independant coordinator who was there for us through the entire process. Tina and Angela knew how to get things done at the resort as they are well connected, even if they manager was no longer there. It was the wedding of my dreams, completely perfect. Angela helped with the ceremony, and everything was exactly as planned. The musicians she hired were perfect and played a few requests for guests after the event, with all our guests singing to the tunes.When we hired Angela she already had another commitment that evening, but we had heard so many good things about her serives that we decided to hire her anyway, and was counting on the St Regis to take care of the dinner. Of course, as mentioned above, the planner at St Regis left suddenly and even if we didn't know it at the time, we ended up with the good fortune of having Tina as our on-site planner for the reception. Angela offered her services and as we were uncomfortable with not having the St Regis contact on site, we took her up on the offer. Tina is another planner that works with Hawaii Event Planners as a day-of coordinator. I have to tell you, she was superb. She even brought me dinner in the bathroom as I had decided to change outfits a few times at the event (a mistake that Angela had warned me about beforehand) and ended up not having enough time to actually sit and eat dinner. Tina made sure that everything ran on time, making up for the time we lost as I did show up a bit late to the dinner. She was very attentive and knew her job well.I would not hesitate to recommend Hawaii Event Planners staff to anyone. They were a blessing to us.
