We booked a wedding package with Kalona early 2020 for Oct 2020 and had to change plans multiple times during Covid. We are based in the east coast so it was hard to plan a wedding during Covid from many thousands of miles away! Kalona was patient and highly responsive the whole time, a sounding board to our different ideas. We finally got married in September 2021 with a much different wedding than we originally planned - but it was perfect. Kalona worked with us to figure out the Oahu Covid restrictions, offered alternate options when things changed, and made our wedding day better than we even imagined! We highly recommend Kalona. She is fair, she knows high quality vendors, and most importantly she prioritizes the wedding couple!
Kalona was our planner and officiant. She did a great job planning for us, working with our budget. She got us the best price for the the vendors, flowers, etc. Kalona was always so bubbly and helpful with all the steps of planning our Hawaiian wedding overseas. Thank you so much Kalona!
Kalona is amazing. I went through so many options but I could not have asked for a more perfect wedding planner. She is really flexible and is willing to go out of her way. She was really helpful to us and made everything so easy. I would highly reccomend anyone use her for any type of wedding. She completely customized ours and gave us so many options to make it perfect for us. She even took a picture with us which I thought was awesome. she made it stress free and simple. She loves doing what she does and it shows. She met us at the house we were renting and walked with us down to the beach to do the ceremony. the photographer she had was amazing, they were both so fun to work with. My experience was perfect and I can not rave enough about my wedding or about Kalona. The entire weddimg was incredible.
Kalona was my wedding coordinator and every step of the way she was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had. On my wedding day she delivered one hundred percent and did everything that I asked her to do. I was working on a budget and she did an awesome job assisting me with it and making sure I stayed within it. She worked out my arrangements for a limo and even got me a good deal. She was very helpful and sweet throughout my whole wedding planning process and she pays close attention to details. Thank you Kalona and A Rainbow in Paradise Weddings for making my big day a special one!
I was originally working with another wedding planner in Ohau and found that they were not very flexible. I was referred to Kalona of A Rainbow in Paradise, just a little over a month before my wedding date. She was awesome! She was very flexible, communicated well, had wonderful follow-through and was honest all along the way. There were moments where I was uneasy about moving our ceremony location (although it was only a few yards down the way) and she put me at ease with a detailed explanation and met me onsite right when I landed in Oahu to ensure it was acceptable. Her pricing is reasonable and service was great! Both during the planning stages and onsite. Heck...we actually started our ceremony on time too! :) I highly recommend Rainbow in Paradise.
The estimated cost on this site includes photography & music, so it is not a true picture of her coordination costs. Reach out to her directly for an estimate.
Kalona from A Rainbow in Paradise was our officiant and she did a superb job. She was very accommodating of our wishes to rewrite parts of our ceremony as well as our own vows. She offered me any advice or support that I wanted after I arrived on island. She was awesome. We loved her!
Kalona took care of us from the very first email and phone call. She was attentive and responded in a more then timely fashion. She was even more wonderful in person. She made she our day went smoothly and that it did. We would recommend her to anyone and everyone who is planning their wedding in Hawaii.
