My wife and I live in LA so when we decided to get married in Hawaii, we knew we wanted to work with a well-established wedding planner to help us navigate the local landscape. We reached out and interviewed a few planners and Nichole stood out right away. We felt she answered our questions honestly and set proper expectations compared to some others who just told us what they thought we wanted to hear. We ultimately decided to put our faith in Nichole and she proved to be worth every penny.
Nichole is extremely thorough, proactive, and reliable. One of the first things she had us do was fill out a questionnaire to prioritize different aspects of our wedding day (food, photography, flowers, venue, etc). Then, she used our responses to allocate our overall budget appropriately and only recommended vendors from her book of business who fit our criteria. For transparency and accountability, Nichole also gave us access to an online wedding planning tool that managed every task and deliverable, big or small, all the way up to the big day. Additionally, Nichole was always easy to reach when we needed to talk things through and she made thoughtful recommendations when we needed them.
In the end, not only did Nichole put together a picture perfect wedding day for us, she also made the planning process easy, fun, and stress-free. We never had to worry about anything and we always looked forward to talking with her or reading her emails. We have all the confidence that you will have an amazing experience working with Nichole and we strongly recommend her services. -

Nichole and Chelsea crushed it. We planned our Hawaii wedding from New York and having Nichole and Chelsea on our team was essential. They made themselves available to us at all hours of the day to accommodate our schedules and the time difference and were on it. They were able to quickly recall details on the fly and gave us total confidence that they were focused on it. We never felt like they were juggling too much which i've heard is a common complaint in this business. They handled everything, reacted to weird curveballs we threw them with ease and were an absolute pleasure to work with the whole time. I can't comment too much on the look and feel but my wife would say they read her mind on the design side and I thought everything looked fantastic day of. Their vendor recommendations were also excellent. All the vendors were thrilled when we mentioned the other vendors we were using and were very complimentary of Nichole's recommendations. Lastly, they were thoughtful when if came to working with our budget, knew when to say "we can save money here" and when to push me to spend more elsewhere. Their advice was spot on. Their coordination efforts on the day of were also 10/10 - the event went off without a hitch. -
User1789909 Sent on 09/01/2014Nichole is the ultimate professional. She is organized, detailed, and responsive. She listened to our ideas and requests, but kept us within budget. When we didn't like what we were shown from one vendor, she went to other vendors. I initially felt completely overwhelmed, but Nichole took that all away. My schedule was difficult as I am a local girl who was not looking for a cookie cutter "hawaiian" wedding (one of those hotel packages) but now live mostly on the mainland. It was no problem, Nichole worked out all our meetings with vendors when I was home with my fiancé.
Because she is so prepared and organized, the best part of working with Nichole is it all goes smoothly. When the wedding finally came around, I knew it was going to be crazy hectic because we had our local guests, our mainland guests, and people coming internationally. We needed to make sure everyone got where they were supposed to be, when they were supposed to be there, and had all the information they needed. Nichole and her team took it completely out of our hands and all we needed to worry about was getting to the events and enjoying ourselves! They were there behind the scenes the day of the wedding and made sure everything went seamlessly. I got not a SINGLE phone call that day about anything going wrong, something being missing, a vendor being late…. It was amazing. All I did was hang out with my girlfriends, get ready, and get picked up to make it to the altar on time. It's the way it should be. The venue was beautiful. We had discussed it before but Nichole made it come to life. At the end of the reception, Nichole directed the clean up and made sure we got all of belongings safely returned to us within the next couple of days.
When I first told my fiancé I was hiring a coordinator, he gave me a look. Looking back, we both agree that Nichole was key to making our wedding beautiful, stress-free, and I couldn't have done it without her. -
User2563240 Sent on 03/28/2016One star would be a fair rating because initially in our 3-4 e-mails that we exchanged, she was awesome. She responded very promptly and was very courteous. But that was where it ended. I was a bride-to-be, planning to have a destination wedding in Oahu. Based off of the many vendors I spoke with and was leaning towards booking, they highly recommended her, so I was pretty much 90% positive I would book her for my "partial planning". We were excited to meet her, because she was one of the vendors we were mainly trying to book. We flew in from California with positive feelings about this entire trip, thinking that we would get the most important thing handled-finding a planner. In the end, the day that we arranged to meet up, she was a "no show". My fiancé and I waited at the Honolulu Design Center for approx. 30-40 minutes while texting, calling, and even e-mailing her with NO RESPONSE. We gave her the benefit of the doubt, and just hoped nothing happened to her, or nothing was wrong. We received no response, or apology that entire day. The next day, we met with one of the vendors that highly recommended her and told her we were stood up by Nichole. She was very surprised and said she did not expect that from her. Then we find out that she was present at another meeting and was just 'fine & dandy' the night before (the day of our supposed meeting). I mean really, my husband and I were only there to handle wedding tasks for about 5 days. You should be more considerate of our time. If you did not want to work with us then that is fine. Just be professional about it. Up until this day, we have yet to receive a text, call, or e-mail as an apology for never showing up to the meeting. And please, do not try to apologize now because of this rating. It is a little too late. This took place I believe in the end of the July in 2015. Sorry, it took me a while to write this because I was still planning my wedding and I did not want any vendors I booked to feel uncomfortable.
