  It was a wonderful experience. I had a vision and my coordinator Carolyn helped to make that vision reality. I wanted a destination wedding on the beach and a wedding day that I can enjoy with my guests. I didn't want a crazy blur of events and then realize my wedding was over. Don't get me wrong, planning a destination wedding will take more effort than you would expect. But Carolyn made it as painless as possible.
  
  We conducted most of our correspondence through email but our initial meeting was over the phone. She is a very positive person and quick to respond to any inquiries I had. I had an idea of what I wanted and she helped to guide me through the process. I absolutely loved her recommendation for the cake (Paradise pastries I believe), photography, and make-up (face art beauty). I still get compliments on the make up job and photos. But that's a whole other review right there... Anything you are curious about, I'm sure she will look into it happily to see if it is possible. She also had some wonderful ideas once I gave her a starting point. We discussed everything from rubber duckies to repelling down the aisle.
  
  I started planning around March for an Oct wedding and used the waimanalo beach cottage package. We wanted an off the beaten path kinda feel away from city life. It was exactly as we had imagined... Low key with lots of beach and not so much tourists.
  
  The wedding went off well and my friend described it as a dream. The service all day was truly amazing and they went above my expectations. She does everything she can to make it a memorable experience and is professional throughout it all. My husband and I were blown away by how beautiful everything was.
  
  I have already recommended this package to a friend who is considering a destination wedding.

  Carolyn went over and above of what we expected as did her team. Everyone is friendly and very helpful and knowledgeable. The design team did a fantastic job, the flower arrangements were out of this world. The food was delicious and all my guest were very impressed and had a wonderful time. I definitely recommend Beach Wedding Planners Hawaii for a stress free and beautiful wedding.

  Photography, I was able to pick out a lot of favorites due to the fact he snapped shots throughout the ceremony. Cottage for three nights was great. Although I found it strange that the AC was in the bathroom. I used the cottage as a bridal sweet to get ready. Same day coordinator. Carolyn, She explained details of wedding ceremony very well. She also answered my emails promptly. Same day coordinator Linda didn't do a good job at all. As I was walking down the isle, all I could see was Linda in my isle throwing down flowers. No one should have been in my isle while the bride is walking down. I really don't care if it was windy, the flowers should've been down before my moment. I also found out she directing one of my guest to do her job which was to direct my guest where to go after they parked before the ceremony. She should have held up a sign, something directing the guest where to go. She also didn't know when to have the guest leave for the reception dinner although it was stated in the wedding itinerary. Videography guy was professional and easygoing. Although I was a little Disaappointed in the finished product. The sound was great and he did a great job recording the vows but the finished product almost looked like they slapped our vows in a premade Hawaiian movie. There were no special touches. Location was terrible. Surrounding my wedding ceremony was random cars, fishers, and people. I understand that we can't tell people they can't be there but someone should've been on the beach reserving a spot for the wedding in the morning. Set up and break down were late. The guest arrived before the chairs were up. They also broke down the chairs before my guest left which was very unprofessional.

  Amazing Hawaii Weddings's reply:

  We appreciate all reviews and take all concerned comments very seriously. We strive to make every wedding me memorable and take pride in providing excellence. Every couple is given strategically planed wedding itinerary 2-4 weeks prior to their wedding date.
  
  The wedding itinerary is very specific and outlines the ceremony time, set up and breakdown. Because we offer different wedding packages the time is based on the wedding package the couples has chosen.
  
  Normally it is a one-hour time frame and includes the ceremony, photography, set up and breakdown. Many times guest will linger and enjoy the ocean and cool breeze and may be present during the ceremony breakdown. This is not unusual, and in most cases never a problem. Guest may arrive early to the wedding ceremony during the set up time, therefore having to wait to be seated.
  
  Wedding Coordinators have a very difficult job and their first responsibility is to make sure the ceremony runs smooth and on time.
  
  It is very important for every wedding couple to let their guest know in advance where to park and where their wedding ceremony will take place. Waimanalo Beach is known for its windy days and cool breeze.
  
  Because of the wind factor petals are dropped as the bride is waiting to be cued to walk down the isle. We refer to this as staging and usually take up to 5 minutes before the actual ceremony start starts, allowing photography, video and music to position themselves for optimum shots and sound. When the bride is cued her ceremony is complete with petals going down her beach wedding isle, instead of blowing in the wind before she gets to the alter. Beaches in Hawaii are public for everyone to enjoy regardless if there is a wedding present. This is the risk for every wedding couple if they choose to have a beach wedding. The Bride and Groom will choose their ceremony location well an advance and most time visit their location prior to reserving their ceremony site. Thank you Kindly.

  Promises, promisses promisses. Need I say more. Most people will look over the BS because its a 'special day'.
  Tommy deHarne is a very shallow liar.
