After a quick search for "wedding planners in Kauai" on Yelp, Alii Kauai weddings was the top site listed, and after reading through the reviews, I contacted Veronika and received a reply almost immediately! I didn't bother even looking at othe...r options, I was thrilled with the initial response from Veronika. The level of communication throughout the entire wedding planning process was exceptional.
I live in Portland, Oregon, and was able to plan my entire wedding via emails and phonecalls with Veronika. She allowed me to bug her at any time, with all sorts of questions! She stayed ahead of every detail, and had perfect answers for each question I asked, including questions about the impending rainy weather as our wedding got closer!! Obviously she could not control this aspect of the day (....I was so used to her having absolutely everything else 100% under control, I almost expected her to fix the weather too!). Veronika took the time to write to me, and encouraged me to focus on the love that the day would bring, and to understand that everything would fall into place. She went as far as to tell me that in Hawaii, the rain is seen as a blessing for prosperity, which helped changed my entire attitude. Her kindness meant so much to me, I wasn't expecting emotional support over and above all of the logistical support she provided when planning the wedding, yet she didn't hesitate to provide it! Despite a few drops of rain, the entire day was absolute perfection. We also ended up receiving the most incredible photos because of the lighting!
Veronika handled everything, from location selection to help with the marriage license, photography, videography, vows, rehearsal, flowers, suggestions for accommodations, on and on and on. I honestly feel as though I hardly did a thing to plan this wedding; I just showed up and enjoyed the wedding of my dreams. Friends and family were so surprised at how stress-free everything was for me; whenever anyone asked how the wedding planning was going, I HONESTLY said each time that it was so super easy. We kept it small and didn't stress the small things, which helped, but it was truly Veronika who allowed the day to approach with ease and confidence that everything would be amazing.
I cannot recommend her enough. She was easy to talk to, patient, kind, and full of wonderful suggestions. THANK YOU Alii Kauai Weddings for the most romantic day of my life!
