Marlene Mira from Miramira Events is the absolute best wedding planner we could have imagined! From our first meeting, it was evident that her love for Kauai and its culture resonated deeply, which was especially significant for my husband, being from the west side of the island. Marlene’s understanding of the island's beauty and local culture added a personalized touch that made our wedding planning experience incredibly special. She also made sure to incorporate my family’s traditions, such as the wedding Marcha, despite not having prior experience with them. It meant so much to me and my husband to have both of our cultures represented at the wedding and Marlene did so flawlessly.

As a couple living off the island and navigating a busy schedule, Marlene's adaptability and consideration of our specific style were invaluable. We have very specific tastes, and she effortlessly translated our vision into reality, exceeding every expectation we had. Her patience was unwavering, gently reminding us when needed and keeping us on track without overwhelming us, which was a relief during such a hectic time.

Marlene's dedication to offering various vendor options while respecting our budget was very helpful. She went above and beyond, working with us to make our dream wedding fit comfortably within our budget. What set her apart was how quickly she became not just a planner but a cherished member of our wedding journey—her warmth and care made her feel like family. We’ve honestly missed our check-ins with her since our wedding has passed!

On the day of the wedding, Marlene's diligence and hard work were remarkable. She took charge, allowing us to truly enjoy the day without worry. The wedding day was even better than we had imagined, and we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. From the physical layout to the timing of everything, Marlene put so much thought into every detail and it showed.

Marlene's kind and caring nature was a constant throughout the entire process. Her genuine investment in giving us the best wedding experience was evident in every detail. As we reflect on our wedding day, we'll miss the regular communication with her, which speaks volumes about the bond she created.

Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend Marlene to anyone looking to tie the knot on Kauai. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients make her an exceptional wedding planner. Marlene made our day more magical than we ever imagined, and for that, we'll be forever grateful.

When we were searching for a planner I had no idea what we were looking for or needed. We had met with a few but for some reason I gravitated toward Marlene. I loved that she is a local that grew up in Kauai. That’s probably why I liked her, because I was drawn to her natural aloha vibes!

Throughout the process she was very thorough and very open to communication whenever we needed it. It was very helpful to talk through ideas with her and have her have our backs when we needed it! She helped me walk through concerns I had with my opinionated family and the multiple parents I have.

Once we arrived on the island we met and she felt like family. She is and was such a kind person and I’m so glad we hired her. She has so much knowledge about her homeland and local weddings I would trust her all over again!

As the bride getting ready for her big day, one of my biggest goals was to have an easy-going wedding, and an easy-going planning process. Aunty Marlene was very attentive to detail and respectful of our MUST HAVES for our wedding. She made the process feel so smooth and I never had any "bridezilla" moments because of her organized and relaxing vibe.
