A White Orchid Wedding, Inc

3-person wedding in December at Sugar Beach Events and are still beaming from such a magical day. From the very first call, Kendall’s warm, knowledgeable vibe eased my anxieties. I’m a perfectionist with extremely high expectations and was nervous trusting someone else with all the little details for such a hugely important event. Man am I glad I did. Having Kendall manage vendor communications, timelines, payment deadlines, contracts, etc. was a gamechanger. I knew Kendall was in my corner every step of the way, and I was confident she knew exactly what our vision was. We had Laurie and Naomi as day-of coordinators, and they too have incredible attention to detail and are gems to work with. In fact, not only were all the vendors that WOW recommended outstanding, but they were so kind and added to the day’s joy. All around, the levels of service and quality at our wedding were impeccable. We know the wedding only looked so stunning and went so smoothly because of the abundant planning and dedication from our friends at WOW.

iented. She listened very closely to our wants and needs and always had alternatives ready for us to make planning easy for us. She was able to elevate our vision of our wedding and made it even better than what we imagined. Amongst her talent to bring our vision to life, she really made our wedding day stress free. She made sure that all of the small details were planned thoroughly so that our day went by smoothly and let us enjoy our wedding day! You could tell that she had exceptional relationships with all of our vendors with the way everyone worked well together. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner than Tiera. I loved the relationship that we built with her planning our wedding over the last year and a half. Anyone would be so incredibly lucky to have her plan their wedding day!

of our questions and sent over some really great proposals. Ultimately, due to constraints on our end and with our guests, we weren't able to have our wedding in Hawaii, but I would not hesitate to recommend White Orchid to anyone who is currently considering that as an option.

ine was OUTSTANDING at every point in the process. She met with us a number of times over Zoom to plan our approach and ensured we had many options to choose from. The resulting wedding was absolutely beyond belief. The whole day felt like a dream. We both got to be so relaxed (as did our families and friends!) because Jacqueline was across every single little detail. Every recommendation Jacqueline made about the flowers, the venue, the photographers, etc. was absolutely spot on. It could have been stressful booking venues and vendors we had never seen or met but Jacqueline's expertise meant that we never had any worries. Our wedding day was unforgettable and amazing. We will cherish these memories forever and ever. We really have Jacqueline to thank for bringing it all together as she did. Her presence on the day was such a delight, too. We can't thank her enough! One of the absolute highlights of the day was that Jacqueline personally drove our huge flower arrangement back to our hotel, so we returned to our room filled with the memories of the day. She's just beyond amazing and the personal touches were incredible. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

ed heavily on the expertise and recommendations from Tiera to make our dream wedding come true. When we first saw the venue and set-up the day before the wedding, my wife and I were both in tears at how much more beautiful the setting was in person. It's normal for there to be stress while planning a wedding from afar. However, Tiera handled the process so gracefully and assured us on all the details. She was just amazing!! All of our guests said that it was hands down the best wedding they've ever attended. We highly recommend working with A White Orchid Wedding for planning your destination wedding in Maui. We couldn't have had the magical wedding without her knowledge and creative insight. Mahalo a nui, Tiera!

ttable. From the very beginning, Kendall listened carefully to our ideas and preferences, and used her expertise to bring everything to life. She even provided suggestions for things that we had no idea would even be needed, but ended up making a huge difference on our wedding day. Throughout the planning process, Kendall was always available to answer questions, offer suggestions, and provide guidance. She took care of every little detail, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and seamlessly on the day of the wedding. There were even a few last minute changes that came in, but Kendall and her team pulled it off without any additional stress on our end. Her attention to detail and her caring, thoughtful approach made all the difference. She was a true partner in the planning process, and her hard work and dedication paid off in the most beautiful wedding Christine and I could have ever imagined. We would highly recommend Kendall + the White Orchid Wedding team to anyone who wants a stress-free, unforgettable wedding experience. We are so sad that the planning process is over, and we will no longer be working with Kendall. She was so much more than what we could have wanted in a planner. Kendall did an amazing job bringing our vision to life, and looked out for us as a friend. She is simply the best!

spect for what they do and everything that goes into planning a wedding. I knew they were both amazing before but quickly found out what that really meant. Kendall is extremely efficient and helped me nail down all of the decisions that needed to be made in a quick and painless process. Carolee is the most creative person you will ever meet! She has a timeless style that is perfect for even the pickiest of brides (ie: me). Growing up around weddings I felt like I knew a lot... but I quickly realized I would have probably missed about 50 things if I were to plan the event myself. Kendall and Carolee were extremely patient even when I changed my design board for the 5th time. I couldn't recommend them highly enough! I may be biased... but I think they are truly the best in the industry.

many other couples, COVID threw quite the wrench in our wedding plans and Nani was there by our side throughout the whole process of cancelling, postponing, rescheduling, etc. I never once felt stressed or uncomfortable in our wedding planning process! Nani made all of our wishes come true in the ways more beautiful than we could have imagined! Our day was perfect in every way and we are so grateful to WOW for taking care of all the details! I can’t recommend them enough!

with our planned venue. Although we ended up not choosing to go with White Orchid Weddings for our big day our experience with them was top notch. Of all the vendors and planners we reached out to during our wedding planning process Kendall was our absolute favorite! Thank you so much for treating us so well and for being so great at what you do!

no way we could have pulled it off with out Kendall's incredible expertise. Kendall's professionalism, top-notch organizational skills, and just generally wonderful personality made the entire wedding process a complete joy. With careful research and incredible thoughtfulness, Kendall dove head first into helping us incorporate Persian elements, including an elaborate sofreh aghd table, into our ceremony. Kendall also worked with us to find a planning style that worked for me and my husband's busy work schedules. She's a communication genius and kept us on task and on schedule (we definitely didn't make it easy!). Kendall was also fantastic at helping us determine what really mattered to us-- she was so receptive to concerns and uncertainties and really helped us create a wedding that was ultimately personal and meaningful (and super fun and beautiful!). It's abundantly clear that Kendall really cares about creating a personal, thoughtful experience and it really shines through in everything she does. Our wedding was everything we wanted and more, all thanks to Kendall and the team at WOW; Kendall is truly the best.

r than we could have ever imagined. We had a week-full of wedding events including a Welcome Beach Party, Rehearsal & dinner, New Years Eve, and, of course, our big day! Nani brought our vision to life for each event and made sure that every detail was thought of and taken care of. She took the time to get to know us and really understood the vibe we wanted. We also enjoyed all of our planning calls with Nani and will miss talking with her all the time! I work as an executive assistant so I'm thinking about details and planning all day, everyday. So planning a destination wedding felt a bit overwhelming at first, but thanks to Nani, I never had to worry about any detail being missed. Thank you, Nani and WoW for giving us the gift of a stress-free wedding planning experience! Our wedding week was so much fun, and our family and friends had THE BEST time! We hope we can work with WoW again for a milestone anniversary party!

ar because of COVID - we didn't have to do anything. The day of ran seamlessly, thanks to Kendall :) She was wonderful!! I didn't stress at all. All of the vendors we chose through WOW were fantastic. It was the perfect day!

magined, so intimate, romantic, and stress free! There aren’t words to be able to thank Kendall for all that she did to make our wedding day perfect, especially in such difficult times! I am so bad about procrastinating and was so concerned that I was gong to wait too long to make decisions, but Kendall was always there to tell me that my timing was okay and everything would be perfect! She wasn’t wrong! Her energy and ability to see my vision was truly unlike anything I could have imagined, there really wasn’t a better person for us. If you are planning a wedding in Hawaii, Kendall is the best. She is such a kind soul and calming energy, exactly the personality you want on such a special day.

us initially as a top planner from a 5 star resort here. I interviewed several of their recommendations and Kendall was the only one that blew me away. Where to even begin… I was one of the lucky COVID brides who started planning my dream wedding in 2019 with Kendall, to be delayed twice, with a final wedding date of May 2021. I have several friends who were also COVID brides and I can tell you from firsthand knowledge, none were as lucky or were in the same hands that we were; not even close. And that is all because of Kendall. I have never worked with someone before who is so genuinely kind and positive, works as hard, is as dedicated to making your dreams come true, and who I respect more. Truly. Not once during the multiple reschedules, shifting venues and vendors, and the chaos of planning this wedding over a two year period did she ever become fazed or waiver in our planning process. And as a result I put a LOT of trust in her… I delegated pretty much every last detail to her because we moved to two different states during those two years and I had a lot on my plate and not for a second did I second guess that decision. She is an absolute professional and hands down one of the most patient and most attentive to detail people I have ever met. I always talk to people who lament over how stressful the wedding planning process is and honestly, I just could never relate to them. Not even in the smallest of ways. That is 100% because of Kendall. When we finally walked into our welcome reception and wedding ceremony space/reception space after two years of anticipation… I wept with tears of joy and gratitude. It was not just everything I had dreamed of, it was more. I could never have executed in the way she did or dreamt up even a fraction of the beauty she created. It was like looking into a high end luxury wedding magazine. Every single guest, including ourselves, is still talking about it being the best wedding they have ever been to, bar none. And it wasn’t just our wedding. It was an entire week of wedding events that Kendall put together for us flawlessly. We got to know Kendall very well during the planning process and I can’t imagine having worked with anyone else. And that’s just the kind of person Kendall is. She is empathetic when you need her to be, she is laser focused when you need her to be, she is literally EVERYTHING you need her to be in the planning process. If you are lucky enough to work with this woman and A White Orchid Wedding, absolutely jump at the opportunity and breathe a deep sigh of relief. You will not regret it!

ers, videographers, etc and took us to many different sites that fit what we were looking for. She always provided us with top of line offerings that fit our style as a couple and what we wanted for our wedding. Kendall always went above and beyond for us, and it put us at ease knowing that we were in the hands of someone who truly cared. She brought all of our visions to life for our wedding and we could not be any happier with how everything turned out!

ed our mind. The venue was breathtaking but also super intimate and having the space really made us feel relaxed as the waves crashed behind us.

g experience. We had a great time planning everything and the company was wonderful to work with, very professional and organized and was very understanding with everything that was going on.

step of the way. And everything turned out SO perfect! We planned everything all the way from Florida, so I couldn’t have done it without her! This is definitely the best planning service Maui has to offer! <3

and me, right from the start. Not to mention, she really just "got us" and our vision. I'd give her abstract design + wedding ideas that she was able to turn into a reality even more beautiful than i could have imagined. Our wedding was unique to us, absolutely stunning design, and everything went off without a hitch. Also, she's curated all top wedding vendors on Maui and takes all the pain away in sifting through a million different portfolios and vendor options. All of the vendors I picked through Kendall went above and beyond. She did all of the planning, was sooooo patient with me, knowledgeable, creative, and very flexible. I could go on and on about how easy Kendall made everything and how talented she is. I wholeheartedly recommend Kendall, and WOW to design your dream wedding. Thank you, Kendall!

from the start of our planning to our big day. She was so organized and helped with finding our beautiful wedding ceremony venue. She made sure all the little details were perfect and helped make sure the day ran smoothly. She always made time to meet up with us to go over all the details and gave the best suggestions and answers to all of our questions. We had the wedding of our dreams and it truly was the most magical day! She made sure everything was perfect and it most definitely was! We can’t thank Kendall enough for making our wedding day dreams come true!

nt with answering my million questions and would schedule phone meetings every few months to touch base and make sure we were on track with choosing all the vendors, colours and other little details. I also don't know what I would've done if she wasn't there on the day of the wedding to help everything go smoothly for us. I can not thank Kendall enough. I can honestly say having Kendall's help actually made the wedding planning process pretty stress free. I highly recommend White Orchid Wedding if you plan on getting married in Maui.

rdinator, Kendall Oreta. With about two years of planning our wedding, she has made our day better than what we could have ever imaged it to be. Better than Pinterest! HA! From the smallest details of the utensils to the largest details of our flowers. About 1-2 months prior to flying out to Hawaii, the anxiety of getting things done, packing, and the wedding (in general) skyrocketed for me because I wanted everything to be 'perfect'. I was comfortable enough to share my feelings with her, and she reassured me that everything was going to be 'okay,' and it was more than okay. On the day of the wedding, we were speechless in every aspect and we have Kendall to thank for that.. for spilling out our dream into a reality. If there is any bride/groom wanting to have their wedding Maui, I highly recommend asking for Kendall Oreta from WOW; however, if you are not able to snatch her, the WOW team is as wonderful and great as she is... and I am confident in what I saw about them. They will bring the aloha to you. Mahalo, Kendall and to the WOW team. If ever any of you plan to visit NYC (crazy NYC!!), let us know. Our arms are always open.

s able to provide. We were nervous about planning a wedding over the phone and email from Alaska but quickly it turned to excitement as we knew we were in great hands. Tiera was on top of everything, had amazing recommendations, and kept in touch with us through the whole process. You can tell she’s passionate about what she does and strongly cares about providing you with a great experience for your special day. Tiera is a very kind, sweet, and personable individual that provided us with a beautiful wedding. Thanks Tiera!

ed any questions we had through the process. We had a couple of small special requests & they were very accommodating. It was a beautiful dream wedding & having WOW coordinate for us was worth every single penny. Best day ever!!!!! Thank you to Bernie & Steven & the entire WOW staff! 💙

king with someone over the phone and email since the venue was at Old Lahaina in Maui and we live in Nevada. From the moment I talked to Nalani she gave me all the detail information and explain how things would move along. I would get updates with all the details and I had different options to select from in order to make our day our way. I was involved in all the planning from selecting flowers, cake, photographer, musician, etc. I sent pictures of the ideas I had and Nalani made it happen. All the detail of our 25th anniversary celebration exceeded my expectations. I also requested additional information for excursions, places to stay and things to do in Maui. Nalani provided me with great options. Thank you to Nalani assistant Jackie that was there for me on our special day. Jackie also gave me peace of mind the days leading to our anniversary day. There were 2 hurricanes back to back I was concern with the rain and fear of how close the hurricane would be. Jackie called me and put my mind at ease assuring me all was looking good for our day and if rain there was a back up plan. So grateful for the WOW team making me feel at ease and making our day extra special.

she immediately answered all my questions, and I became comfortable with the process. Nalani was always available to take my calls or respond to my texts and emails in a reasonable time frame. Our wedding day was magical! Perfect venue, and everything went off without a hitch. The car showed up on time, the photographer showed up on time and ready to capture our perfect day. The onsite planner, Jackie was very pleasant and competent. She was easy to talk with, and she genuinely cared about us and our guests. Nalani helped me pick out the flowers, and we received lots of compliments on them. My bouquet lasted through our entire honeymoon, and was still very fresh when we reluctantly had to part with it on the way to the airport. The musician was on point, and so was the officiant. WOW certainly has a list of competent partners to choose from. I am 1,000 percent happy with their services! I would hands down recommend WOW for your wedding or any special event. You will experience 5 star service all around, and more important, the staff genuinely care about your satisfaction. Karen

l advice for planning my destination wedding. It turned out perfectly - I loved ALL my vendors - the food was SUPERB (thanks for the recommendations!) and would do it all over again with Jacky and WOW if I could! It was such a beautiful day - ALL of my guests said my wedding was the BEST wedding they had ever been too!

as the wedding planner for us. I can say that working with Kendall was one thing I did not have to stress over at all. She was an awesome planner and very responsive in emailing, texting and phone calls during the whole planning process. I highly recommend her to any future brides who are looking for an absolutely incredible wedding planner. Thank you so much!!

d professional. Planning a wedding with them (from the vendor's side) was easy and the wedding was gorgeous. We can't wait to work with them again and mahalo for being such awesome partners.

intimate, simple yet elegant ceremony. Kendall surpassed our expectations while still helping us stay within our budget. She was on site for the day of the wedding, which was a huge relief. Everything turned out great! DEFINITELY recommend!

a beautiful souled person who truly became more than a coordinator. We consider her a good friend. Her professionalism, calm, reassuring demeanor... set the tone for our whole wedding. The months leading up were much less stressful due to her encouragement, organization skill set & great, prompt communication. The days leading up to our August 2018 wedding were worrisome due to impending hurricanes... but Kendall kept calm, communicated with us & all vendors.. and made amazing last minute changes to assure we would still have the outdoor wedding of our dreams! Complete with sun & double rainbows! Now THAT'S talent ;) We have said time & time again how we couldn't imagine our wedding day without Kendall! As the bride, I was able to relax & enjoy the momenr of being a bride... knowing Kendall & her team were taking care of everything. I loved my choices in vendors & was so glad that Kendall had worked with 90% of them before. It made the whole experience feel like we were being taken care of by one big family who truly cared about your wedding day experience. So sooooo happy! We highly recommend Kendall of WOW! She will wow you!

ould ever dream of. Nani was incredible to work with. Enthusiastically recommend!

tial email inquiry, Kendall has been organized and professional throughout the entire process. She immediately understood my vision and seamlessly coordinated the day with expertise. When I asked for leis for my guests to wear, even on short notice Kendall delivered with gorgeous adornments that made the day even that more special. When the roads flooded the day before my wedding, I was stranded on the other side of the island with no way to get my dress from the cleaners. I called Kendall with my dilemma and without a moment of hesitation she offered to pick up my dress!! She truly goes above and beyond and her customer service far surpasses any other! My family and I are forever thankful to Kendall and White Orchid Wedding.

eam was able to pull everything off. Best night ever! Thank you so so much :D

enjoy the day with no worries. We had some odd requests like zip lining between the ceremony and reception and she went above and beyond to make it work. I would absolutely recommend to anyone who wants their wedding to be beautiful and stress free!

. It was worth of adding in the petal of flowers to the aisle. The wedding cake was perfect and gorgeous. Our Officiant Tino Rosete was very easy going and funny. We are glad to have Stew Pinsky (Hula girl photographer) as our photographer; all the pictures turn out beautiful. And our Hawaiin musician was excellent. We are very appreciative to Bernie and Steven for making our special day go smoothly and no stress. We thank you Bernie and Steven for all your help. It was everything we could ask for. Mahalo, Seng and Nicolas

She knows people, knows her vendors and the venues, and brings it all together. It was without a doubt, something we could not, or would not wanted to do without her. Because of Jackie, we were able to focus on the two of us and our special day, with no worries. I feel she's like family! Thank you, Jackie!

) of how quickly Kendall and the team made something magical happen. She was great to deal with, friendly and very reasonable in terms of pricing and flexibility. My parents were so touched by the ceremony and it was so special to them, which they said will have a lasting effect in their lives. Thank you so much Kendall & team! xx

y ideas. I wish we could do it all over again tomorrow! Thanks again!!! Amy & Cody

often to update her on any vendors we had booked, changes we made and to get suggestions. She always made time to meet with us and sometimes with short notice. I felt confident that we could leave our special day and all the little details in her hands and not need to worry about anything. She also met with our DJ to go over details with him to make sure everything ran smoothly, which they did. The day-of Kendall put their best coordinators on it and we were so happy with everything. Kendall and the team at White Orchid Wedding were so genuine, so professional and we could not have gotten through our wedding day without them!

everything by distance via phone and email, and they made it so easy! Throughout the process they kept us engaged and offered to help us with anything and everything we needed. They were detail-oriented and did not miss anything from our wedding requests/designs. They did all the coordination with the venues and it was super helpful. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who wants a stress-free approach to a Hawaii wedding!

ty, I love talking with her on the phone) She did a great job of balancing what we were looking for with our budget. Everything was perfect from the wedding officiant, to the location, the food, the photographer and the cake!!! I can't thank White Orchid Wedding and Kendall enough for making our wedding so special and a day I will never forget!

ating a beautiful wedding! I really don't know what I would have done without Kendall and her team.
