Kendall and WOW made our dream Maui destination wedding a reality
We cannot thank Kendall and her team at A White Orchid Wedding, Inc. enough for making our dream Maui destination wedding a reality. They are THE best. We had an indoor/outdoor, 43-person wedding in December at Sugar Beach Events and are still beaming from such a magical day. From the very first call, Kendall’s warm, knowledgeable vibe eased my anxieties. I’m a perfectionist with extremely high expectations and was nervous trusting someone else with all the little details for such a hugely important event. Man am I glad I did. Having Kendall manage vendor communications, timelines, payment deadlines, contracts, etc. was a gamechanger. I knew Kendall was in my corner every step of the way, and I was confident she knew exactly what our vision was. We had Laurie and Naomi as day-of coordinators, and they too have incredible attention to detail and are gems to work with. In fact, not only were all the vendors that WOW recommended outstanding, but they were so kind and added to the day’s joy. All around, the levels of service and quality at our wedding were impeccable. We know the wedding only looked so stunning and went so smoothly because of the abundant planning and dedication from our friends at WOW.We cannot thank Kendall and her team at A White Orchid Wedding, Inc. enough for making our dream Maui destination wedding a reality.

Tiera is the best wedding coordinator!
Tiera made our wedding day a dream come true! We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner!
Tiera always went above and beyond for us.
She is very thoughtful and detail oriented. She listened very closely to our wants and needs and always had alternatives ready for us to make planning easy for us. She was able to elevate our vision of our wedding and made it even better than what we imagined.
Amongst her talent to bring our vision to life, she really made our wedding day stress free. She made sure that all of the small details were planned thoroughly so that our day went by smoothly and let us enjoy our wedding day! You could tell that she had exceptional relationships with all of our vendors with the way everyone worked well together.
We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner than Tiera. I loved the relationship that we built with her planning our wedding over the last year and a half. Anyone would be so incredibly lucky to have her plan their wedding day!Tiera made our wedding day a dream come true! We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner!

Amazing team
I HIGHLY recommend White Orchid Weddings to any soon to be bride!! Working with Jacqueline was a dream come true and every detail was executed to perfection. I took a chance with them to help me plan a Maui destination wedding from Southern California and I can 1000% say I was not disappointed! Communication with Jacqueline was never overwhelming and she was always flexible and accommodating if I wasn't able to make a phone call. I never felt stressed working with her and our phone calls were like 30 minutes max once a month. It didn't feel like planning a wedding at all, it felt more like I was discussing my dream wedding with a friend and she made everything happen. The day of the wedding everything ran so smoothly and there were no unexpected delays or problems. If you're thinking of booking with them, you will DEFINITELY not be disappointed!I HIGHLY recommend White Orchid Weddings to any soon to be bride!!

White Orchid Wedding - Jackie and Dennis
We had the absolute privilege of working with Jacqueline to plan our wedding in Paradise Cove on Oahu. We live in Australia and we planned our wedding at very short notice. Jacqueline was OUTSTANDING at every point in the process. She met with us a number of times over Zoom to plan our approach and ensured we had many options to choose from. The resulting wedding was absolutely beyond belief. The whole day felt like a dream. We both got to be so relaxed (as did our families and friends!) because Jacqueline was across every single little detail. Every recommendation Jacqueline made about the flowers, the venue, the photographers, etc. was absolutely spot on. It could have been stressful booking venues and vendors we had never seen or met but Jacqueline's expertise meant that we never had any worries.
Our wedding day was unforgettable and amazing. We will cherish these memories forever and ever. We really have Jacqueline to thank for bringing it all together as she did. Her presence on the day was such a delight, too. We can't thank her enough! One of the absolute highlights of the day was that Jacqueline personally drove our huge flower arrangement back to our hotel, so we returned to our room filled with the memories of the day. She's just beyond amazing and the personal touches were incredible.

All I can say is WOW Kendall!
Christine and I had the pleasure of working with Kendall Oreta from White Orchid Wedding, an amazing wedding planner who truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable. From the very beginning, Kendall listened carefully to our ideas and preferences, and used her expertise to bring everything to life. She even provided suggestions for things that we had no idea would even be needed, but ended up making a huge difference on our wedding day.
Throughout the planning process, Kendall was always available to answer questions, offer suggestions, and provide guidance. She took care of every little detail, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and seamlessly on the day of the wedding. There were even a few last minute changes that came in, but Kendall and her team pulled it off without any additional stress on our end.
Her attention to detail and her caring, thoughtful approach made all the difference. She was a true partner in the planning process, and her hard work and dedication paid off in the most beautiful wedding Christine and I could have ever imagined.
We would highly recommend Kendall + the White Orchid Wedding team to anyone who wants a stress-free, unforgettable wedding experience. We are so sad that the planning process is over, and we will no longer be working with Kendall. She was so much more than what we could have wanted in a planner. Kendall did an amazing job bringing our vision to life, and looked out for us as a friend. She is simply the best!Christine and I had the pleasure of working with Kendall Oreta from White Orchid Wedding, an amazing wedding planner who truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable.

WOW is the Best!
My mom, Carolee is the owner of White Orchid Wedding and my sister Kendall is one of the coordinators. I recently got married on Maui in October 2022 and now have a new level of respect for what they do and everything that goes into planning a wedding. I knew they were both amazing before but quickly found out what that really meant. Kendall is extremely efficient and helped me nail down all of the decisions that needed to be made in a quick and painless process. Carolee is the most creative person you will ever meet! She has a timeless style that is perfect for even the pickiest of brides (ie: me).
Growing up around weddings I felt like I knew a lot... but I quickly realized I would have probably missed about 50 things if I were to plan the event myself. Kendall and Carolee were extremely patient even when I changed my design board for the 5th time. I couldn't recommend them highly enough! I may be biased... but I think they are truly the best in the industry.My mom, Carolee is the owner of White Orchid Wedding and my sister Kendall is one of the coordinators.

Kendall pulled of my amazing COVID Wedding
Kendall and Carolee were amazing and managed to put my wedding together in less than a month during COVID. They were both so professional and helpful throughout the whole process. Kendall was so accommodating with my constantly changing plans & expanding guest list. She had taken me all around the island to look at their different venues earlier in 2019, but when COVID hit we knew were limited in the amount of people we could invite and were worried about Maui County changing the guidelines on gatherings. Thankfully Kendall was able to keep us up to date with what was going on. With medium sized gatherings opening up in November, Kendal was able to let us use the gorgeous White Orchid Beach House for our serene morning ceremony & brunch reception. She ensured that every detail was to my liking; from the custom hand sanitizer bottles to the lawn games, it was flawless!
If you truly want to have the wedding of your dreams in Hawaii, there is no one better to plan it then white orchid wedding!! I cannot wait to have them plan my vow renewal in the future!Kendall and Carolee were amazing and managed to put my wedding together in less than a month during COVID.

Working with Nani with White Orchid wedding was such a dream!!! From the the first day that I reached out, she has been so kind, professional, fun, and all around AMAZING! Like so many other couples, COVID threw quite the wrench in our wedding plans and Nani was there by our side throughout the whole process of cancelling, postponing, rescheduling, etc. I never once felt stressed or uncomfortable in our wedding planning process! Nani made all of our wishes come true in the ways more beautiful than we could have imagined! Our day was perfect in every way and we are so grateful to WOW for taking care of all the details! I can’t recommend them enough!Working with Nani with White Orchid wedding was such a dream!!!

Kendall-- truly the best!
Working with Kendall Oreta and WOW was a total dream. We cannot recommend them enough. Planning a destination wedding while navigating the pandemic was no small feat, and there is no way we could have pulled it off with out Kendall's incredible expertise. Kendall's professionalism, top-notch organizational skills, and just generally wonderful personality made the entire wedding process a complete joy. With careful research and incredible thoughtfulness, Kendall dove head first into helping us incorporate Persian elements, including an elaborate sofreh aghd table, into our ceremony. Kendall also worked with us to find a planning style that worked for me and my husband's busy work schedules. She's a communication genius and kept us on task and on schedule (we definitely didn't make it easy!). Kendall was also fantastic at helping us determine what really mattered to us-- she was so receptive to concerns and uncertainties and really helped us create a wedding that was ultimately personal and meaningful (and super fun and beautiful!). It's abundantly clear that Kendall really cares about creating a personal, thoughtful experience and it really shines through in everything she does. Our wedding was everything we wanted and more, all thanks to Kendall and the team at WOW; Kendall is truly the best.Working with Kendall Oreta and WOW was a total dream.

Look no further!!!
I worked with wedding coordinator, Kendall Oreta, of A White Orchid Wedding in Maui, HI for my Maui destination wedding. She and A White Orchid Wedding were actually recommended to us initially as a top planner from a 5 star resort here. I interviewed several of their recommendations and Kendall was the only one that blew me away. Where to even begin… I was one of the lucky COVID brides who started planning my dream wedding in 2019 with Kendall, to be delayed twice, with a final wedding date of May 2021. I have several friends who were also COVID brides and I can tell you from firsthand knowledge, none were as lucky or were in the same hands that we were; not even close. And that is all because of Kendall. I have never worked with someone before who is so genuinely kind and positive, works as hard, is as dedicated to making your dreams come true, and who I respect more. Truly. Not once during the multiple reschedules, shifting venues and vendors, and the chaos of planning this wedding over a two year period did she ever become fazed or waiver in our planning process. And as a result I put a LOT of trust in her… I delegated pretty much every last detail to her because we moved to two different states during those two years and I had a lot on my plate and not for a second did I second guess that decision. She is an absolute professional and hands down one of the most patient and most attentive to detail people I have ever met. I always talk to people who lament over how stressful the wedding planning process is and honestly, I just could never relate to them. Not even in the smallest of ways. That is 100% because of Kendall. When we finally walked into our welcome reception and wedding ceremony space/reception space after two years of anticipation… I wept with tears of joy and gratitude. It was not just everything I had dreamed of, it was more. I could never have executed in the way she did or dreamt up even a fraction of the beauty she created. It was like looking into a high end luxury wedding magazine. Every single guest, including ourselves, is still talking about it being the best wedding they have ever been to, bar none. And it wasn’t just our wedding. It was an entire week of wedding events that Kendall put together for us flawlessly. We got to know Kendall very well during the planning process and I can’t imagine having worked with anyone else. And that’s just the kind of person Kendall is. She is empathetic when you need her to be, she is laser focused when you need her to be, she is literally EVERYTHING you need her to be in the planning process. If you are lucky enough to work with this woman and A White Orchid Wedding, absolutely jump at the opportunity and breathe a deep sigh of relief. You will not regret it!

Kendall oreta - wonderful
I’m finally siting down to write my thoughts on our wedding from May, and all I can think about is how absolutely perfect it was. Every single moment was exactly how I could have imagined, so intimate, romantic, and stress free! There aren’t words to be able to thank Kendall for all that she did to make our wedding day perfect, especially in such difficult times! I am so bad about procrastinating and was so concerned that I was gong to wait too long to make decisions, but Kendall was always there to tell me that my timing was okay and everything would be perfect! She wasn’t wrong! Her energy and ability to see my vision was truly unlike anything I could have imagined, there really wasn’t a better person for us. If you are planning a wedding in Hawaii, Kendall is the best. She is such a kind soul and calming energy, exactly the personality you want on such a special day.I’m finally siting down to write my thoughts on our wedding from May, and all I can think about is how absolutely perfect it was.

Wedding Dreams Come True
Kendall Oreta at WOW made my husband and mine's wedding a dream come true! Kendall was very knowledgeable about all that Maui has to offer for wedding venues, catering, photographers, videographers, etc and took us to many different sites that fit what we were looking for. She always provided us with top of line offerings that fit our style as a couple and what we wanted for our wedding. Kendall always went above and beyond for us, and it put us at ease knowing that we were in the hands of someone who truly cared. She brought all of our visions to life for our wedding and we could not be any happier with how everything turned out!

Couldn't recommend WOW and Kendall enough!!
I couldn't recommend WOW enough! We wanted an intimate, beautiful, low stress wedding, and that's exactly what we got! It was especially nice with having to move our date out a year because of COVID - we didn't have to do anything. The day of ran seamlessly, thanks to Kendall :) She was wonderful!! I didn't stress at all. All of the vendors we chose through WOW were fantastic. It was the perfect day!I couldn't recommend WOW enough!

My dream wedding became a reality with the help of Kendall Oreta.
When my financée and I decided to get married in Maui, we didn't know where to start. I contacted WOW and Kendall Oreta got back to me within the day. I am beyond grateful for having such an amazing wedding planner! Kendall was super patient with my indecisions and continuous desire to get new quotes for different wedding options I was considering. She was always there to answer my million questions and I don't know what I would've done without her on the wedding day. She also gave me great advice and helped me with every little detail of the wedding - from helping my fiancé chose his suit colour to how to organize the guest book. I am so glad I found White Orchid Wedding and would strongly suggest anyone who wants to get married in Maui to work with them to plan their dream wedding!!!!When my financée and I decided to get married in Maui, we didn't know where to start.

Wedding day dreams come true!
My husband and I were able to have the wedding of our dreams thanks to our dear friend Kendall. She truly brought our wedding vision to life. Kendall’s professional experience was shown from the start of our planning to our big day. She was so organized and helped with finding our beautiful wedding ceremony venue. From the smallest details to the day of the wedding she made sure everything was perfect. She always made time to meet up with us to go over all the details and gave the best suggestions and answers to all of our questions. We had the wedding of our dreams and it truly was the most magical day! She made sure everything was perfect and it most definitely was!

I'd do it all over again and still ask for Kendall from WOW
I was a bride from New Jersey and my now husband and I decided to start off our marriage in Maui, Hawaii! We heard from WOW through my husband's cousin, so we landed our faith and trust in our wedding coordinator, Kendall Oreta. With about two years of planning our wedding, she has made our day better than what we could have ever imaged it to be. Better than Pinterest! HA! From the smallest details of the utensils to the largest details of our flowers and lights. About 1-2 months prior to flying out to Hawaii, the anxiety of getting things done, packing, and the wedding (in general) skyrocketed for me because I wanted everything to be 'perfect'. I was comfortable enough to share my feelings with her, and she reassured me that everything was going to be 'okay,' and it was more than okay. On the day of the wedding, we were speechless in every aspect and we have Kendall to thank for that.. for spilling out our dream into a reality.
If there is any bride/groom wanting to have their wedding in Maui, I highly recommend asking for Kendall Oreta from WOW; however, if you are not able to snatch her, the WOW team is as wonderful and as great as she is... and I am confident in what I say about them. They will bring the aloha spirit to you.

Great experience with wow!
It was very nervous about planning a wedding in Maui, when I was all the way in Maryland. After many hours of research, I decided to contact WOW. I was connected with Nalani, and she immediately answered all my questions, and I became comfortable with the process. Nalani was always available to take my calls or respond to my texts and emails in a reasonable time frame. Our wedding day was magical! Perfect venue, and everything went off without a hitch. The car showed up on time, the photographer showed up on time and ready to capture our perfect day. The onsite planner, Jackie was very pleasant and competent. She was easy to talk with, and she genuinely cared about us and our guests. Nalani helped me pick out the flowers, and we received lots of compliments on them. My bouquet lasted through our entire honeymoon, and was still very fresh when we reluctantly had to part with it on the way to the airport. The musician was on point, and so was the officiant. WOW certainly has a list of competent partners to choose from. I am 1,000 percent happy with their services! I would hands down recommend WOW for your wedding or any special event. You will experience 5 star service all around, and more important, the staff genuinely care about your satisfaction.It was very nervous about planning a wedding in Maui, when I was all the way in Maryland.

Wow juz wow!
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Kendall. She was great! She helped us plan our destination wedding. She was quick to respond to any questions we had. She took care of all inquiries and requests we have from vendors. There was a big brush fire at Maui the day before our wedding and Kendall called to check up on us and make sure we're ok. She also let me know that everything is still going as planned. We made some changes the day before and she made sure to communicate with the vendors. Everything went great! We are so blessed to have Kendall help us with our special day.My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Kendall. She was great! She helped us plan our destination wedding.

Our day was like a dream come true. Every picture we had our in heads came to life, and the venue was beyond anything we could have imagined. Patty Flax was a wonder on the day, we didn’t have to stress at all, as she had everything handled completely and made sure it all went smoothly.Our day was like a dream come true.

Dream wedding!
My Husband and I got married in October 2018 and knew we wanted to get married in Maui but had no idea where to start. When we found Jackie from WOW we knew we were in good hands but there are no words to describe how amazing she was! Not only was the planning process extremely smooth, it was almost effortless. She gave us options but when we asked for her opinions she would be very honest with me on her opinions. We had a little over a year and a half to plan and she made sure that I did not stress about anything along the way. We got married at the White Orchid Beach House in Makena, Maui and it was absolutely the most stunning venue that I had ever seen. We had looked at over 10 venues before choosing and there was no comparison. When it came down to the day of, there was not a single thing that Jackie and her staff did not take care of. Everything was better than I could have imagined and she made sure that we both had everything we needed throughout the day. My husband and I have been to a good amount of weddings over the past year and we can honestly say that we have never seen a wedding flow as smoothly as it did. Not only did she make sure the vendors did their part but she also made sure that everything was on time. We had a little bit of rain before the ceremony started, which ended up being good because it kept the guests cool but also Jackie made sure that we did not start until I was comfortable with walking down the isle with a little rain. When the ceremony started the rain stopped and there are no words to describe how beautiful the weather turned out to be and we had the most amazing sunset. The beach house has the most amazing views and is the best spot on the island for an amazing sunset. The amount of compliments we received after the wedding about how well put together it was, was crazy. For a wedding of 75 guests, there was not one guest who did not compliment us on how beautiful and how well organized our wedding was. If it were not for Jackie and the WOW staff, there is no way our wedding would have exceeded our expectations as it did. We cannot thank Jackie and the WOW staff enough for everything!My Husband and I got married in October 2018 and knew we wanted to get married in Maui but had no idea where to start.
