PERFECT wedding coordinator
We cannot say enough about how amazing Lizzie was in helping us coordinate our wedding. From our first call with her we immediately loved her down-to-earth, warm, friendly, but professional vibe. It felt like talking to an old friend!
Lizzie helped us find the most perfect team of Photographers, DJ, and flowers. We highly valued her opinions and are so glad we did because the team was fabulous and worked so well together.
When the hotel we were having the wedding at looked like a construction zone two months before our wedding (when it was supposed to be done two months earlier) she immediately calmed us down and handled any issues that came up. When the wedding point person at the hotel quit two weeks before the wedding, she also handled that with ease. She acknowledged our feelings, but always made me feel confident that she would do what it takes to ensure we had the perfect wedding.
Lizzie always went above and beyond. We had a destination wedding and she let us ship decorations to her home, she printed out table numbers and put them in frames for us. She communicated with all of our vendors for us in the month before the wedding and made sure the timeline was communicated with everyone.
Lizzie always responded via text or email almost immediately, She was so easy to get in touch with and easy to talk to. She organized a rehearsal the day before the wedding and answered any questions we had.
The day of the wedding was rather warm and she had water at the ready for us while we took photos and held an umbrella over us in between photos so we didn't get too hot. She brought appetizers and drinks to our sweetheart table. She even escorted a baby possum out that tried to crash the reception!!
At the end of the night she brought food, jackets, purses, presents, cards, etc. up to our room. She left a flower petal heart on our bed with a handmade ornament. It had the location and date of our wedding handwritten on it and she put sand from the exact spot we go married in the ornament. She also left emergency kits on each of our night stands with all of the essentials for the morning after.
We LOVED Lizzie, our families loved Lizzie, our bridal party loved Lizzie. She was so friendly, so professional and so competent at everything she did. No matter what craziness happened we had full faith that Lizzie would solve any problem. It was such a nice feeling knowing we didn't have to worry about anything. -

Lizzie is absolutely amazing, I would hire her again no questions asked! Usually something goes wrong at a wedding but that didn't happen for us because of how amazing Lizzie was. She worked with every vendor before the wedding and took care of everything the day before and day of. She even picked up flowers from the florist and drove them to the bakery where our cake was made to have them decorate it. She also put little hangover kits and decorated our suite the night of the wedding for afterwards. She went above and beyond and was very detail oriented with a great personality. She does amazing work and was on top of it the entire time, from early stages of planning to following up after the wedding. Highly recommend! -

Lizzie made the last month of wedding planning easy. She paid attention to all the details, even drove to the florist to pick up the fresh flowers for the wedding cake and dropped them off at the bakery, to make our day easier. She was on top of all of the vendors and made sure that the execution of the rehearsal, opening party and wedding were flawless. Highly recommend! -

Lizzie helped make our wedding day so special. She was quick to respond, always empathizing and validating during stressful moments, and effective in problem-solving. Before the wedding day, she offered to help take things off my to-do list by contacting vendors for me and getting the final details solidified. Lizzie was not just amazing leading up to the wedding but she was even more impressive on our wedding day. I made the mistake of eating a bagel the morning of the wedding and when we arrived at the ceremony site I realized I needed floss. Of course, Lizzie had this among many other supplies that I would not have thought to bring with me. While coordinating our timeline, managing vendors, and helping set up small things (water station, signage decor, etc.) Lizzie was there to help bustle my dress when no one else could figure it out. Hiring Lizzie was the best decision I made for my wedding day and I am beyond grateful for all the help she and her husband (her assistant for the day) had offered me. I can promise you won't regret hiring her so definitely act fast and book her before someone else does.
Oh! I forgot to mention, that the day after the wedding, Lizzie shared a google drive of photos and videos she had taken throughout the wedding day so I had things to look at and post on social media since my photographer wasn't offering me any sneak peeks. I would never have thought this to be important but let me tell you, it is! The day after the wedding, I had some blue feelings but the content she gathered helped balance out my emotions. Now, as I wait to get my photos back from my photographer I can reminisce and feel the joy from our wedding day because of Lizzie and her thoughtfulness.Hakuna Matata Weddings and Events's reply:

Lizzie was an absolute dream to work with! She walked through every step and was extremely helpful with making recommendations and providing helpful tips. Our day was perfect thanks to Lizzie and her team. She kept our timeline on track and we were amazed at how everything came together. She helped make our wedding day stress-free. My parents even commented on how efficient and pleasant Lizzie is. She went above and beyond adding small sentimental touches and surprises into our day. I could not imagine our day without her!Hakuna Matata Weddings and Events's reply:

Lizzie and Zack are amazing! My wedding was able to run so smoothly because of their services. Lizzie has incredible attention to detail and listens carefully to her clients’ wants and needs. When I came out and saw my venue for the first time all decorated I literally burst into tears because it was everything I imagined and more. Lizzie and Zack are both calm, cool, and collected and they really mean no worries for your wedding day. They are there every step of the way, making sure you’re at ease and not stressing about anything. Absolutely recommend Hakuna Matata Weddings a million times over!!Hakuna Matata Weddings and Events's reply:

We can't say enough great things about hiring Hakuna Matata for our wedding day! Lizzie (owner) and her team were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, kind, helpful, and responsive throughout the entire process. They helped us stay organized and on time even with what felt like a million different moving parts. Plus, they went above and beyond our hopes and expectations by making sure all our belongings made it safely back to our suite, handing out tip envelopes even when I forgot to mention where I had them stored, and keeping our bridal party in line! :) I recommend Hakuna Matata to every engaged couple!!Hakuna Matata Weddings and Events's reply:

Brittan A. Sent on 01/23/2023What would I have done without Lizzie!!!
I honestly don’t know where to begin. Lizzie was truly a godsend on our wedding day! She was so helpful leading up to the big day, incredibly responsive, had great insight and ideas, and just made the day of run so smoothly. When you need something on your wedding day, you don’t want to send a parent or a bridal party member, because you want them to be with you! Lizzie was a huge asset and resource and I’d hire her again in a heartbeat. Truly can not recommend her enough!Hakuna Matata Weddings and Events's reply:

Andrew B. Sent on 11/29/2022The best wedding planner we could've asked for!
We were married on 11/18/22 at the Pelican Grand Beach Resort, and I cannot believe how stress free the entire day was because of Lizzie and her Sister. She handled everything so quickly and professionally it was amazing! Every walk through, explanation, and coordination of our wedding was completely seamless! We found out later from family that a few issues came up during the wedding, and we had no idea that anything happened because Lizzie took care of it immediately. I cannot recommend Hakuna matata Weddings enough! You will not regret it, and instead of worrying about your wedding, you'll be having the time of your life care free!
Thank you again for everything! You guys were the absolute best!Hakuna Matata Weddings and Events's reply:

If you are on the fence about hiring Hakuna Matata Weddings & Events, I highly recommend that you do. I had no idea how valuable this service would be until that last month before my wedding. Lizzie came in and took over putting all of the pieces together. Especially at a time when I about had it with wedding stuff! The day of was absolutely smooth and perfect. If there were any problems, I had no idea because Lizzie took care of it. She even assembled our centerpieces and made sure our destination wedding was perfect! The value of this service is actually priceless, in my opinion.Hakuna Matata Weddings and Events's reply:

Anais V. Sent on 04/19/2022Lizzie helped make our day absolutely magical!
We had a very difficult situation arise, where my mother passed away 3 weeks before our wedding date. Unfortunately, that caused us to change our wedding date and Lizzie was an angel. At my toughest most vulnerable time, Lizzie helped pick us up and made our day absolutely magical! Apart from that- our wedding day morning, there was a massive storm and our ceremony was to be outside. With the utmost professionalism, Lizzie was ready to handle anything! The weather cleared beautifully, and we were able to still have it outside, but Lizzie was patient, calm and ready. Lizzie and her sister, Katie, were extremely kind and SUPER organized and handled the whole day to perfection!Hakuna Matata Weddings and Events's reply:
