    Best. Planners. Ever.

    My coworker actually referred us to LEK since they did her wedding, and thank god she did...I dread to think how stressful a destination wedding in Kauai would've been without Marie and Ana helping us.

    Marie was super organized and very responsive to our (many) emails. Having all the docs in Google Drive made collaboration easy as pie. All the vendors she recommended we use did an amazing job. The one potential hitch was that our original florist went out of business a few months prior to the wedding, but Marie was able to quickly find another one that my wife loved and saved the day.

    Marie and Ana were both there for the rehearsal and the day of, and they kept everything running smoothly so we could just relax and enjoy the party. Thanks for planning the best day of our lives, Marie and Ana!

    A Dream Come True

    We cannot thank the team at LEK enough for executing the destination wedding of our dreams! Everything was absolutely perfect and exceeded our expectations in every way. I was very indecisive when it came to wedding details but Marie was incredibly patient and always managed to make me feel at ease after every email and phone call. I loved that LEK laid out the planning documents in a Google Drive, which streamlined and simplified the planning process. Marie went above and beyond to help us get the most out of our budget and yet still plan the event of a lifetime.

    Having a destination wedding, we weren't able to meet the vendors beforehand, which made me nervous at first. But after our initial call with Marie, I knew we were in great hands. Everyone we worked with off LEK's list of preferred vendors was PHENOMENAL and I would highly recommend to anyone.

    Marie and Ana were onsite the day of our wedding and everything went off without a hitch. They made my groom and I feel so relaxed. We just showed up and everything was taken care of. They even gave our bridal party their phone numbers in case any issues came up during the day! We have heard from many of our guests that it was the best wedding they've EVER been to. We owe that all to LEK and their stellar work. Coming from the queen of indecisiveness, working with LEK should be an easy decision for every Kauai bride!

    My husband's aunt, who lives on Kauai, referred us to Marie at Legacy Events after attending a beautiful wedding that she had planned. From the moment we first spoke with Marie over the phone, we instantly loved her and knew we wouldn't need to speak with any other wedding planners. Marie is so down to earth and easy to talk to, yet extremely organized & on top of things. She is clearly passionate about her work and cares deeply about helping couples make their wedding dreams a reality. Marie listened closely to each of our requests, provided guidance & advice when we needed it (which was often), calmed our nerves when we were stressed about our budget, and always worked with us to come to a solution. The day of our wedding, Marie & her colleague Ana were beyond amazing. They worked so hard to ensure that each & every moment went smoothly, and that my fiance & I were never stressed or worrying about anything. I can honestly say that everything was absolutely perfect and it truly was the happiest day of our lives. Marie & Ana- we cannot thank you enough!!! :)

    Marie and Ana were amazing to work with. We were recommended to use them by our photographers and we can't thank them enough. Marie was always on top of it - there when you need her and didn't ask too many small questions. She saw my vision and most important to my husband, she was completely respectful of our budget and worked with us to complete the vision within the budget without overselling us. Thank you guys for a day that will never be forgotten!

    Legacy Events Kauai was the best! We had never visited the island of Kauai and we weren't planning on it before having our destination wedding there. So, early on in the planning process, I knew we either had to get married at a resort (which would be all inclusive) or hire a planner.

    The resort option didn't feel like "us." So, after a ton of research, we found some venues we liked and some planners that seemed decent. LEK truly knocked the other planners out of the water, and we're so glad we went with them!

    Trying to plan a wedding from an ocean away can definitely be stressful. But, we truly trusted LEK, their input, and their intent. Marie was so patient with us, and went well above her duties. She was always there if we had a random question or no idea where our venue should be.

    The biggest indicator of how good they are at their job is that we didn’t have to worry about anything during our wedding day. We were able to fully enjoy and absorb the day including our family, the games you put together for us, décor, food, etc.

    They truly put our minds at ease. The experience was so wonderful :)

    I'm so happy that I had Marie and Legacy Events help to plan my wedding!! I had selected all of my vendors and made a lot of preliminary decisions, but when I got to Kauai, all of my vendors kept asking who my wedding planner was, and my venue, Plantation Gardens, strongly suggested that I get a planner. All of the last-minute stress was alleviated by Marie's expert planning and friendly, caring demeanor. She keeps everything incredibly organized through Google Docs, so it was really easy to keep on top of everything and to communicate with her, despite our six-hour time difference. The days leading up to my wedding, I was able to enjoy spending time with my friends and family on Kauai while Marie and her team prepped the last minute details with our DJ, musicians, photographer and hair/makeup people. Marie ran our rehearsal and gave everyone there detailed time lines for the day of the wedding, so everyone knew what to expect. On the day of the wedding, I just had to be ready for hair and makeup, and all of the details fell easily into place. Marie brought our bouquets and hair flowers to the hotel room, helped to organize our first look and bridal photos, oversaw all of our venue set up and made sure that our ceremony was a success. She and Tiare helped to make sure that we got all of our group photos done in a timely manner after the wedding and kept the whole night flowing smoothly. I'm so thankful for all of the effort that Marie put into my wedding, it was a success largely due to her amazing work!

    One of the best decisions my husband and I made while planning our destination Kauai wedding was working with Marie at Legacy Events! We are writing this review almost two months after our big day, and we are still reminiscing about all of the details that Marie and Tiare helped bring to life. Thanks to their diligence, eye for detail, and organization, our wedding day was the most amazing, memorable, and beautiful day of our lives. We are so lucky that we had them in our corner, and I can truly say that I came away with two new friends in Kauai.

    I really can't do Legacy Events justice in an online review. If you are lucky enough to be married in paradise, do yourself a favor and work with Marie and her team. It will be the best choice you make for your wedding...other than your choice in partner :)

    Legacy Events was the main reason that I was able to have a completely stress free wedding day which is actually priceless! My mom and I had done a lot of the vendor research and coordinating ourselves before we reached out to Legacy Events so we did not use them from the very beginning. But I was SO happy we had them on board in time for the wedding because they handled everything for the rehearsal and started early the day of the wedding making sure the day went flawlessly. We had 100 guests at our wedding at the Plantation Gardens (highly recommend!). Legacy Events was in charge of all the day of set up of our décor and when I arrived, I was so impressed with everything. We had a couple hiccups which some I wasn't even aware of until after and others they made sure to improvise and in my mind.... the day was absolutely perfect. I was able to relax all day long with my bridesmaids and enjoy the night with my husband and family and friends! Thank you Marie for all your hard work and attention to detail, it really pays off and you can tell your team are experts!

    Marie and team did an amazing job on our wedding. She is sweet and attentive and made my day stress free. I reached out to her around 6 months before the wedding day and although that's normally considered a short amount of time to plan she kept us on track along the way. What I really like about Marie is you can tell she has a wonderful relationship with her vendors and she has several to choose from, which makes a difference staying in budget. I unfortunately went over my initial budget but I appreciated Marie's consistent updates and also recommendation to cut in certain areas once we went over. This really made me feel like she was looking out for my best interest and what I initially wanted for my day. Also Marie and team did the reception table decor. I'm not sure if they normally do that but in our case our table topper were both decor and giveaways and I wanted something simple (not big floral arrangements). Over all I thought she did an amazing job and if you use her services I'm sure you'll be extremely satisfied as well.

    Legacy Events Kauai's reply:

    Thank you Felicia! We loved working with you and it was a sweet, intimate wedding! All the best to you!

    Marie is the best! She did the wedding planning for our daughter's wedding, and it was absolutely spectacular. She is extremely detail oriented and stays on top of all the aspects of planning and carrying out the event. Her recommendations for vendors were hugely helpful since we don't live in the area, and were spot on. She knows the business and the participants well. Whenever there was a question or a snag with any of them, she jumped right in and got it resolved. During the ceremony and reception, she took care of everything invisibly. She communicates well and frequently, and is a pure pleasure to work with. We would use her again in a heartbeat!

    I wanted to be involved in my wedding and was strict to my budget. I had planned a lot of DIY. I almost didn't get a planner. LADIES always get a planner. When I called Legacy Events Kauai Marie gladly accepted and understood what I was dreaming in my head!
    I am so grateful for all the knowledge Marie has of event planning and this island. I went to her knowing what I wanted and that was it. She gave me so many options and resources to work with. Every vendor I called loved working with Legacy Events Kauai, Which let me know I had made the right choice.
    Marie was so organized it made it easy on me to not be stressed and to focus on my wedding and having fun. I love that she shares a Google doc system that allowed me to see invoices from vendors and anything as soon as it changed. She also prepares a sheets with a huge breakdown for each vendor to see. For example any notes like my first song to play, specific decor, and directions was all included. This was so helpful to me because it was just sent straight to the vendors so no questions came to me. The timeline she prepared as well is just amazing. There was no excuse for anyone to not know what was going on.
    The weekend of our wedding was when two hurricane were suppose to hit the island. Thankfully for everyone and the island it weakened and passed. Through all the days leading up Marie allowed me to feel relaxed. Without her professionalism, organization and true love of planning weddings I would have been a wreck.
    The day of our wedding it was clear skies. Marie checked in throughout the day with me letting me know how things were going. I loved that 30 minutes before walking down the isle, She walks in to give me a heads up. Throughout the night she was on top of the things we had discussed and stuck to the timeline we had created. Without her doing this nothing would have got done.
    I will always recommended legacy Events Kauai to anyone looking for a ev

    From the second we met on the phone, I knew that Marie would be our wedding planner. We had two main goals for our wedding- 1. To stick to our budget and 2. To give ourselves, family and friends an experience of a lifetime. Marie was on point with both of our goals. She didn’t make us feel super poor with our budget either and assured us that we could still have a nice wedding that was within our budget. This earned her huge brownie points because my husband was a little concerned that hiring a wedding planner meant inflating our budget (which, I’m sure is the case for some event planners). Marie made the planning process extremely easy and provided us with all the guidance we needed. When it came time for the rehearsal, she was very organized and had down every little detail we wanted. On the day of the wedding, everything went beautifully! All the vendors she recommended were really great and professional. Marie was really such a blessing and gave us and our guests beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.

    Marie did such a great job!! I was planning my wedding in Kauai from Texas and decided I couldn't do it on my own. She handled and set up everything from the marriage license meeting to even bringing the bouquet to me where I was staying right before the we left for the wedding. We followed her to the beach site and everyone (wedding officiant, photographer, musicians) were there waiting and ready to go. Everything went so smoothly and it took so much stress off of us so that we were just able to enjoy it!
    Thanks Marie!!

    A little over a year ago my then fiancé and I travelled to Kaua'i to find a suitable wedding venue and planner. As an Australian planning on marrying an American girl, we figured what better place to be wed than Hawai'i, right in the middle!
    After some Internet research we arranged a meeting with Marie from Legacy Events Kauai. We are so glad we did!
    From that initial meeting right up to our big day (1 month ago), Marie has been absolutely amazing.
    We knew, being so far away that we needed help in organising and planning our wedding. What we didn't expect was the lengths and effort Marie would go to, to ensure our day was beyond our wildest expectations.
    Every correspondence we had with Marie was on-time, positive, productive and gave us a real sense of confidence that we had hired the perfect person. Marie provided us with a selection of different vendors to choose from, all we had to do was choose one and she did the rest, everything from catering, decorating, officiating, photographers, floral arrangements, tent hire...the list goes on.
    When our wedding day finally arrived we were both so relaxed and comfortable that we had nothing left to do but enjoy what was truly an unforgettable day.
    Our big day was more than we could ever have imagined and we have Marie and her staff to thank for it!
    Marie honestly loves her job and arranging the perfect day for her clients, we actually felt that we were being looked after by a friend!
    I would recommend Legacy Events Kauai to anyone looking to tie-the-knot on the paradise island of Kauai. We feel as though we have gained a true friend in Marie, her services are worth every penny and we'd give her 6 out of 5 stars if we could!
    We think back to our wedding day every day and wonder, could it have been any more perfect? Thanks to Marie and Legacy Events Kauai, that would have been impossible!

    Marie at Legacy Events Kauai is amazing! She was so easy to talk to, patient with us, and fun to work with. The vendors she put to work for us were also excellent people who were great at their jobs. I would and have recommended her to anyone who wants to get married in Kauai. If we ever renew our vows I would fly Marie out to handle our wedding on the mainland. That's how much we both loved her and her work ethic. She made our wedding and reception absolutely perfect. Better than I even imagined. It was magical...

    Marie Foster was a blessing to have on our wedding day and through our wedding planning process. She really made an impression over our first phone conversation. I was a California bride who hadn't been to Kauai in 10 years. She made me feel very at ease. She provided my husband and I great direction and was concise with everything she needed from us. Her rate was reasonable, we would have paid more. She's that good. She always replied by phone or email to any questions we had right away. She found other vendors for us that we're reputable and provided excellent quality services. On our wedding day she really went above and beyond our expectations. Honestly-we didn't worry about a thing knowing Marie was in charge. She handled everything, and made it feel a though we were working with a friend, not some stuffy party planner. She really is amazing. If you hire Marie at Legacy Events, she'll make your wedding day dreams come true!!

    Marie is incredible. As a graduate student living far from Kauai, I didn't have a lot of time for planning- or additional stress. Marie was amazing from the start. She took time to learn our vision for our wedding. Things that were knew we wanted, she made happen. Things that we didn't have a strong opinion about, she gave us options and recommendations, all of which turned out perfectly. We rented a private home for our reception, and the landlord proved to be very difficult. Marie handled all of the discussions with him, so we wouldn't have to worry or deal with it. We chose to get married on a secluded beach with difficult parking situations, but with her expertise and knowledge of the area it went off without a hitch. I found out after the wedding of a few scenarios (like beach goers that sat right behind our wedding group, right before I walked down the aisle). Marie handled all of these situations without my having to get involved (or even know). Several friends and family commented on my relaxed demeanor leading up to, and on, our wedding day. I was able to be so relaxed and not worry since I knew Marie had it all handled. She is amazing to work with. I would recommend her to anyone getting married in Kauai!

    Marie at Legacy Events was great! I loved that she was quick, organized and didn't beat around the bush about prices for vendors. She was on top of it! She would say she will email in the next few days and email me in a matter of hours instead! I highly recommend you hire a coordinator if you are traveling a good distance to get married. She takes out all the stress and delivers!

    Marie is THE BEST!~ She stepped in at the end of my planning to help me wrap it up nicely. My wedding was just my husband and myself, yet 3 days before we were leaving to get married I suddenly felt I needed someone to help execute the production the day of the event. She was incredible with meeting us at 7am to help us pick a location the day before our wedding. We flew in 2 nights before our wedding, so we didn't have much time to plan the location. She helped us thoroughly plan that and then the day of my wedding she made sure everything came together plus made sure all the people involved were where they were supposed to be. This allowed me to soak up my wedding day and be the bride with no worries. It flowed magically! She has a true gift with people and is extremely efficient & professional. She exudes the 'aloha' spirit. My wedding day would not have been the same without her!!!
