Aloha Bridal Connections

y first consultation through the days after the wedding, everything was professional, organized, seamless, and completely stress-free. My lead coordinator, Sammy, reassured me every step of the way, and the entire team executed our vision with excellence and care. Their communication, attention to detail, and calm presence allowed me to genuinely enjoy being engaged instead of feeling overwhelmed. Their vendor recommendations were also exceptional and made the planning process so much easier. We hired Summer Reign Floral for our floral design, and they exceeded every expectation—lush, romantic, and breathtaking. For our draping and ambiance, Elegance with Grace created the most dreamlike setting, including a stunning love tunnel that made our reception reveal unforgettable. And Cest Calligraphy brought our signage and paper details to life so beautifully, from the seating chart to the place cards and table numbers—every detail was flawless. As someone who already manages a business and tends to be highly anxious, I cannot express how grateful I am that ABC Weddings made this process joyful instead of stressful. Planning your wedding should be something you soak in and cherish—and they make sure you get to do exactly that. I truly experienced wedding blues because the day was that perfect. If you’re a new bride wondering where to begin, do yourself a favor and hire ABC Weddings. It will be the best decision you make.

rofessional planner. Thanks to that requirement, we found Aloha Bridal Connections and choosing them for our wedding was hands down the BEST decision we made for our wedding. We planned our Kaua'i wedding all the way from Las Vegas. I didn't taste the food. I didn't see the florals in person. I didn't walk through the venue or see the design setup beforehand. Planning a destination wedding on a budget, for 40 guests without experiencing anything firsthand could have felt completely overwhelming. But when you're in the hands of an excellent coordinator, it doesn't have to be. Sherry's experience and resources made all the difference. She has clearly mastered her craft. Every recommendation she made--every vendor, every detail--was absolutely perfect. She even sourced a vendor from another island to bring my full vision to life. Because of ABC's planning experience and deep knowledge of the island, the wedding vendors, and the industry, the possibility of having every detail I dreamed of felt limitless--and that was the best feeling. What truly sets Sherry apart is how thoughtful and responsive she is. She stayed in consistent communication the entire time, answering every question (big or small), easing every concern, and guiding us with such calm confidence. I never once felt out of the loop, even planning from thousands of miles away. She even took care to learn little details about us and our guests which always made things feel so personal. By the end of the wedding, Sherry felt like family to all of us. And their planning spreadsheet! Wow! As someone who thrives on event organization, the beautifully detailed planning spreadsheet she created made my own event-planner heart swoon. It kept everything structured, transparent, and on track. It allowed me to enjoy the process instead of feeling buried in it. We checked in every few weeks then more as it got closer and whatever I needed in between, Sherry was quick to respond. On both the rehearsal day and wedding day, everything flowed effortlessly. Every detail we envisioned came together seamlessly. Our guests were blown away. The food was incredible. The entertainment was top notch. The venue and setup were stunning. The timeline was flawless. There was not a single hitch. I was fully present, soaking in every moment with complete peace of mind. If you're considering a destination wedding and feeling intimidated--don't be. With Aloha Bridal Connections and Sherry leading the way, your wedding planning can be joyful, smooth, and so memorable. They don't just coordinate events--they create calm, execute excellence, and turn dream weddings into reality. My husband and I are so grateful to have had them by our side, and part of our special day.

on wedding in Hawaii from thousands of miles away - for 10 months!

friend was not satisfied with her wedding planner and wanted us to have a better experience).  We saw that they had a hybrid package available, which sounded perfect for us.  We wanted to be involved in the planning, but wanted recommendations on what vendors were good and needed help with knowing the right questions to ask and the right answers when needed.  We also wanted to know that the day of our big event, that we could enjoy the event knowing that ABC would handle everything they could to make it enjoyable for us, and did they ever!!!  From our first conversation with Lauren, who made us confident that ABC was the right pick, to our numerous conversations with Jamie and then Sammy, our amazing lead coordinator, ABC was so helpful with every aspect of planning.  Handing things over to them once we got closer to the day of was easy peasy and we couldn't have asked for a better experience the day of the event.  From the setup to coordinating our photo session to making sure we had a chance to actually eat at our reception, all while making sure everything happened when it needed to, Sammy & Jessica (our ABC team for the day of) went above and beyond!!!  Mahalo nui loa to ABC for making our special day as special and enjoyable as it could be.  We couldn't have done it without you!

nning. That includes a Google sheet with a breakdown of things to do, budget calculator, wedding day timeline, and list of vendors they recommend. (Plus so many more priceless things). I was originally looking for a day of coordinator, but what I got with ABC was more than I could have dreamed of. I was paired with the planner Sherry on Kauai and before the 3 month take over...she was very involved and supportive. We got to have as many meetings as I needed. She guided me through the process. When she took over it was incredible because that's exactly when I needed to focus on other things. She contacted vendors and made sure we were on time with payments. Wedding day was incredible! Went off without a hitch. If there were any problems - I don't know about them because she just handled it all with her team. She coordinates and communicates so well. Sherry is the calming energy a bride needs on the big day allowing you to just relax and enjoy. An angel of a human! Her assistants Julie and Alyssa constantly came up to me during the wedding handing me water, food, whatever I needed! ABC arrives first and stays last to make sure everything is taken care of with vendors and the venue. My biggest advice to brides is to get help planning...especially for those planning a wedding in Hawaii from the mainland. ABC will have your back through it all. I got much more than a wedding planner with Sherry...a forever friend!

y grateful to have Jamie as our lead coordinator—her calm expertise and thoughtful guidance made the entire planning process feel effortless. If you're searching for a wedding planner who will exceed your expectations and make your day truly unforgettable, look no further than the incredible team at ABC! Special thanks to Jamie—your dedication, grace, and attention to detail made our day everything we hoped for and more. We couldn’t have done it without you, and we’re so grateful for your support every step of the way.

C Weddings team did exactly that. We booked the Hybrid Signature Package, which was the perfect fit for us. It offered the flexibility to plan many aspects on our own while having Jamie’s expert guidance and support to tie everything together seamlessly. From the first email to the final handover, the entire experience felt so well-organized and thoughtfully structured. The planning systems and checklists ABC provided made everything clear and easy to follow, even with our busy work and family schedules. Jamie was always responsive, patient, and reassuring, her attention to detail and calm demeanor made such a difference during those last few weeks before the wedding. The wrap-up and handover process was smooth and efficient. Jamie made sure every vendor had what they needed, our timeline was flawless, and nothing slipped through the cracks. During the rehearsal, she kept everyone on track while keeping the energy fun and relaxed. On our wedding day, everything came together perfectly. The ABC team worked so quietly and efficiently behind the scenes that we were able to be fully present and just enjoy every moment. From setup to transitions to coordinating with vendors, everything flowed beautifully. Our family and bridal party were so impressed with how calm and seamless the day felt. We’re so grateful for Jamie’s professionalism, kindness, and genuine care and for the entire ABC Weddings team who helped make our day unforgettable. Their experience and heart truly shine through in everything they do. Mahalo, Jamie & the ABC team, for helping us create the most magical day we could have ever imagined. 💛 — Kyla & Tony

g a wedding planner and wanted one from the start. We chose ABC because we have heard great things about them from friends and vendors, they also have a larger team so we felt comfortable knowing that if something happened to our main planner, they would have other resources to fill that person's role. Additionally, they were fairly priced (we selected their signature package). We appreciated their "workbook" that they provided us, it was very user friendly and very similar to what I use for work too. I appreciated their guidance when it came to vendors as that was my biggest uncertainty given I haven't planned events in Hawaii. I also liked that they did not limit us to a set number of calls/emails and were also available to chat anything through during the wedding planning. Adding the rentals process on was nice as they were able to advise what equipment I would need, Jamie double checked all of my vendor invoices to ensure the quantities were correct and I appreciated Jamie's eye for detail such as advising we secure a clear back wall for the band vs a white wall for the aesthetics. It was also nice to have a floorplan early on for piece of mind as well as planning our seating chart. I appreciated Jamie running a tight ship on our rehearsal day and being available to answer questions from family/friends. Jessica was onsite on our wedding day as well and she was very kind and calm and helped Jamie to keep our day flowing well. It was very apparent that ABC is well known and respected amongst many of the vendors we worked with. We couldn't have had a successful day without them and we are happy to call Jamie a lifelong friend!

and they seemed very professional, high energy/good vibes, and very friendly. Mackenzie Weber was very nice and gracious with her time and face-timed us to get a proposal together. The founder/owner Lauren took the time to email us saying how excited she was to help us. That's something that stood out to us and we were extremely happy with them throughout the whole process. Jamie Duffield was our wedding coordinator, and she was amazing. We spent about two hours total on the phone with her for our final wrap-up process (about a week or two before our wedding), just going over everything from big to small details. Jamie was also excellent during our reception with getting everything done on time and making sure everything was perfect. She worked very hard for us, her tips were invaluable, and we couldn't have done it without her. She was also excellent with communicating to us and all our vendors! We would highly recommend them! 10/10. All the ladies are great. Thank you all so much!!

ding weekend in Kauai with tons and tons of details. The team at ABC absolutely nailed it and did it all with a smile on their face. No matter what surprises popped up during the planning and even on the day of the wedding itself, they were quickly resolved and it felt like we always had someone (Julie!!!) at our side.  And on top of all that, they are very very reasonable on pricing. THANK YOU SO MUCH JULIE AND ABC! We couldn't have asked for a better team to help us with our big day!

ell. We did not have a great experience working with our event coordinator through our venue, which to be clear has nothing to do with ABC. Sammy jumped in a month before our wedding and brought us so much peace of mind with her communication, attention to detail, professionalism, and just overall being fun to work with. She created charts with all of our vendors on them, and a very detailed schedule for when everyone would arrive and how the day would go. At this point, she took over communication with all of our vendors while cc-ing me in on everything to keep me in the loop. On the day of the rehearsal, she brought printed out copies of the wedding schedule to pass on to family members and VIPs. She ran through the ceremony with us and even walked us over to the area where first look photos would take place the next day. The wedding day was a dream. Everything went so smoothly and I truly had nothing to worry about because I knew Sammy and Jessica were there to handle everything. I really feel like both of them went above and beyond to make our day special. Sammy arrived in the morning and personally picked up all of our wedding decor to take down for the wedding. After the wedding, Jessica brought it all back up and put it in the room for us. Sammy stuck pretty closely to our side throughout the day making sure we had everything we needed. Sammy even asked ahead of time what our favorite drinks were and her and Jessica had them ready and waiting for us as soon as the ceremony ended. There were so many little details like that that really made this experience so special for us. Our only regret is that we did not hire them to be our coordinator all the way through. Take it from us—skip the stress and hire them for full coordination. Trust us, your future self will thank you! And make sure you ask for Sammy and Jessica!

ved their social media and helpful blog articles, and had a fantastic initial phone call with Julie. It was a no brainer from there that ABC was going to be our wedding coordinator. We did the signature package which was so perfect for wanting to ensure we put our own touches on our own wedding needs, but had access to recommended vendors, unlimited calls leading up to the big day, and our coordinator (Julie) took over as primary point of contact at the 3-month mark, allowing us to focus on getting ready for the wedding and eliminate stress! Their process of helping you plan a wedding is so organized and detail-oriented. They make it so simple for anyone to become a wedding expert! They ensure that you’re thinking through all necessary details to plan for a perfect day, empower you to select vendors that match your style and needs for your dream wedding, and consult you on building your perfect wedding day timeline! We received so many compliments of how seamless the day ran, so many of our guests said they’d never been to a more efficient wedding that flowed perfectly with no hiccups. We are so blessed to have had Julie as part of our wedding planning process. She is such an incredibly kind and caring person and we cannot recommend her enough. On top of this, we are a same-sex couple and one of our concerns was finding an LGBTQ friendly coordinator. Julie always made us feel comfortable, loved, and welcome. She even went through the effort to change all of the pre-set language in spreadsheets and surveys that said “bride and groom” to “bride and bride.” These little efforts went such a long way for us and were just another reason we loved our experience. Julie and the ABC team are the perfect people to trust with your big day, you won’t regret choosing to work with ABC!

I. We reached out to ABC and during our call with Julie, we immediately knew this was the company we wanted to work with. She gave us so much useful information and went over all the package options and was very upfront with us about costs. I, being a little bit of a control freak, wanted to do as much as possible on my own so I booked the Basic Package. With that, ABC began taking everything over around 30 days before our wedding. Sammy was our lead coordinator and she was so easy and fun to work with! It was nice during the time I was booking vendors that I always felt like I could reach out to ABC and they provided me with so many useful resources to help make the planning process so easy! In the 30 days leading up to the wedding, Sammy was super on top of everything and she had great communication with James and I. We were able to text her questions and she kept me on track to finish tasks I didn’t even know had to be done. Everything went super smooth because of her! The rehearsal was also smooth and we flew a ton of stuff to Hawaii from CA for our wedding. We didn’t organize it very well but we gave it to Sammy and she got it all set up perfectly for the wedding. I had a vision in my head and it was executed perfectly. I can’t imagine a single thing being different. Every detail I ever mentioned to Sammy was taken note of and every table looked freaking perfect. Working with Sammy and her assistant Jessica on the wedding day was so fun and we cannot be more grateful for all the guidance they provided us! I often told all my vendors to do whatever they thought was best because they do this all the time and letting everyone take control felt like it was the best option. Sammy had great ideas and great reasoning for doing things certain ways and I didn’t have to stress about a single thing in the week leading up to the wedding. Because of Sammy and Jessica we were able to soak up every moment of the day and we could not ask for more from ABC! We feel like we truly hit the jackpot with all our vendors and I’d recommend ABC over and over to anyone planning a wedding!

. I felt that ABC was a good option for us, as the package we chose included more than day-of support and less than full wedding planning. I thought their services were reasonably priced and offered what I needed. The support I received from ABC was invaluable. Not only did they help me narrow down their preferred vendors list to find the perfect options for us, but most vendors offered a discount for working with ABC. I haven’t done the math, but I assume those discounts well offset the cost of using ABC. My venue (Lanikuhonua) was an empty plot of land, so we had to bring everything in. ABC provided me with a list of all of the rentals I would need, and created a layout for our ceremony / cocktail hour / reception spaces. I don’t think I would’ve gotten that part right if I had done it on my own. They also built out a detailed timeline for the wedding day, which they shared with each vendor once they took over contact. Once we were assigned our day-of coordinator, Sammy, we met with her multiple times leading up to the wedding. She did a great job of answering our questions and keeping us on track with our planning checklist. On the day of our wedding, I knew we had put in the work and were prepared. I trusted Sammy and her fellow coordinators to handle everything and as expected, the day went off without a hitch. I felt little stress or anxiety about our wedding day, and just enjoyed being present throughout. I was confident that the ABC team would guide our vendors and guests as needed. It was everything I dreamed of in a wedding and more, and I have to give a lot of the credit to ABC. I would highly recommend using them if you’re considering getting married in Hawaii.

helm (lol). So of course, I was a little unnerved bringing another group in 30 days out as I felt like they wouldn’t understand my vision in such a short time. What utter nonsense! I couldn’t have asked for a better team to execute all the planning that had been done over the last year. She and her team kept everyone on track and made sure everything was well timed from beginning to end. She partnered so well with our venue team that it was almost as if she was there all along! I appreciate her and her team so much! Thank you Jamie for helping to give us the wedding of our dreams!

ing everything we could have hoped for, and more. Jamie and her team went above and beyond to bring her dream wedding in Hawaii to life, with warmth, professionalism, and the true spirit of aloha every step of the way. Communication was seamless, and no detail was too small. Jamie took the time to understand our vision and transformed it into something even more beautiful than we had imagined. Every vendor she connected us with was top-tier — talented, kind, and a perfect match for our personalities and style. I would like to mention that we were her 100th wedding ! On the wedding day itself, we felt calm, present, and full of joy because we knew we were in expert hands. Everything flowed effortlessly — from the ceremony setup to the timeline, the floral arrangements, the music, and all the meaningful little moments in between. It was stress-free, magical, and unforgettable. We’ve received countless compliments from our guests, and honestly, we can’t thank Jamie and the ABC team enough for creating such a special celebration of love. If you’re planning a wedding in Hawaii, stop looking — ABC truly delivers. With heartfelt gratitude, Susie K

ized, communicative, and made everything feel effortless. Jamie walked us through every detail, especially during the final weeks, and ensured nothing was overlooked. The rehearsal was smooth and stress-free thanks to their clear guidance, and on our wedding day, the entire team ran everything seamlessly. We felt relaxed and present, knowing Jamie had everything under control. Our guests even commented on how smoothly the day went! We could not have imagined pulling off this day without Jamie and ABC. I highly recommend them to any couple looking for dedicated, caring, top-notch wedding planners. You will be in the best hands!

thout a coordinator, after realizing our previous arrangement wasn’t the right fit. After some stressful couple days of feeling lost, we were referred to ABC by one of our vendors. From our very first interaction, we felt like we were in capable, caring hands. Not even an hour after our initial email, we were on a call with Natalie. She asked all the right questions, listened attentively, and helped us feel grounded after a whirlwind of stress and uncertainty. Natalie immediately took all of our scattered planning documents and transformed them into one beautifully organized format, giving us a sense of clarity. She was understanding, efficient, and made us feel supported from the very start. Once Natalie helped us onboard, Jamie stepped in as our lead coordinator. Her calm confidence, attention to detail, and expertise made us feel like everything was under control. She seemed to know our needs before we even voiced them and handled everything with reassuring ease. Even though she wasn’t involved in the process of hiring our vendors, she had a strong grasp of who they were and how to work with them. This is just a testament to ABC’s great reputation and relationships with vendors throughout the island! Jamie also did an excellent job coordinating our rehearsal. She kept everything organized and on track, making sure everyone knew where to be and what to do. Our family really respected her guidance and followed her lead, which made the whole process run smoothly and stress-free. As a couple with a very clear vision of our wedding day, we appreciated how intentional and thoughtful the ABC team was in supporting our plans and bringing them to life. They matched our energy and made sure that no detail went overlooked. Jamie especially helped us navigate last-minute decisions with reassurance, always ready to talk things through and make sure we felt confident. She was even willing to respond to an email from a family member on the day of our wedding, which truly speaks to the magnitude of her professionalism and care in her work! One of the things we appreciated most were Jamie’s gentle reminders to pause, be present, and truly savor each moment of our special day. The team’s attentiveness to what mattered most to us meant that our timeline flowed smoothly, and we truly got to enjoy the entire day without stress. Every member of the ABC team played a meaningful role. Jamie and Natalie were our anchors throughout the day. Brittany was a calming presence in the getting-ready room, reassuring us when we got nervous about details at the venue. She kept us perfectly on schedule and even had drinks waiting for us right after the ceremony, a small and appreciated gesture! Though we didn’t work with Sammy and Jessica directly, they were behind the scenes making everything beautiful. From setting up table decor to assisting guests and coordinating vendors, they made sure all the small details came together seamlessly. We are beyond grateful to the ABC team for giving us the gift of a stress-free and joy-filled wedding day! If you’re considering hiring them, do it! Their professionalism, warmth, and genuine care will exceed your expectations. They made us feel so supported and celebrated, and we are forever thankful 🤍 Photos by Megan Moura :)

ny instagram posts where couples had high praise. Once we reviewed the website, read testimonials from other couples, and had an initial meeting with them on the phone, it only felt right to choose them as our wedding coordinators. We booked the Basic Day-of-Coordination package where we were introduced to Sammy, our lead coordinator! Our experience with Sammy and the ABC team was nothing short of fantastic! Sammy was really easy to work with and she helped us craft a wedding timeline that allowed plenty of time for what mattered most to us: couple photos and lots of open dancing with our guests. On wedding day, everything went so seamless and smooth thanks to Sammy, Keyah, and Jessica! It allowed Edward and I to really soak in the moment and for our guests to enjoy their time in paradise! So many of our guests have had plenty of praise for the whole day. We couldn’t have had the most perfect wedding without all the help, organization, and coordination of ABC!

it in the weeks leading up to our wedding. We were a month out, not prepared, and had a lot of things to finalize, but Sammy was the one who got us to this finish line. Sammy is great!! Extremely organized and super helpful, she helped me secure some very last minute vendors and was able to organize the transportation logistics we had, which were a lot, and everything went so smoothly, it was perfect. We heard so many great things from all our guests about Sammy and the rest of the staff who were there supporting us, they were working non-stop all day to ensure everything was in order. Highly recommend Aloha Bridal Connections!!! Even if you think you don’t need a coordinator, trust me, you do.

nator because I didn’t live there and I didn’t want to add extra pressure and stress on his family. I began my research and found ABC. I looked at their instagram and started following them to see the kind of work they did. When I really got serious with the planning I looked at their reviews to make my final decision. It was their social media page and the reviews that made me choose them. I worked with Julie for the first half of my wedding planning and she was amazing! She was knowledge, helpful, and professional during the time I worked with her! She definitely gave me a sense of peace and relief being that I was planning the wedding from the mainland. ABC had to make a change to my lead coordinator so then I worked with Sherry for the remainder of my wedding planning. I was honestly nervous and a little bummed that I wasn’t going to work with Julie, but Sherry came in and made the transition smooth and seamless — she didn’t skip a beat! What I loved about working with Sherry is that she was personable and knew the importance of making relationships/connections with her clients. Just like Julie, Sherry was knowledgeable, helpful, and professional during the entire process of us working together. In addition, she was very patient and understanding when things got a little crazy! My husband and I were definitely faced with a handful of challenges while planning our wedding but we couldn’t have done it without Sherry’s and the rest of the team’s help. It was a wonderful feeling to not stress about every little detail knowing that Sherry and the ABC team was there taking care of it all! Both Julie and Sherry listened to my desires, concerns, and needs while providing their professional opinions and expertise! This helped keeping things on track and within budget. In addition, I was able to call, text, or email anytime I had a question, concern, or needed a recommendation. This was a tremendous help and wonderful feature of the Signature Package. ABC, as a whole, does a wonderful job with providing a list of recommendations, going off a master checklist, and scheduling the meetings to ensure everything was on track for the big day!! It’s crazy how many details that you don’t think of that go into a wedding!! ABC helped so much with this and I couldn’t have imagined not working with them. I could honestly keep going, but look no further! ABC has everything you need and more when it comes to a wedding coordinator!

elped me choose my dream venue-Kualoa Ranch! I ended up selecting the Signature Package because I do enjoy planning events but appreciated their guidance on selecting vendors! They provide you with so many resources, tools, and a budget planner as well! At the 3 month mark after I chose all of my vendors, Jamie stepped in as my lead coordinator! And she was always on top of her game and so very helpful! She helped me with wedding details I would have never even thought of and even caught discrepancies on a vendor invoice and got me some money back! She also helped everything run smoothly at the rehearsal! Jamie and my other day of coordinator, Sammy, made my wedding day even more amazing. They helped set everything up and made sure my day was how I imagined. They keep everyone on schedule and they took so much stress off of me. So many of my friends and family have said how wonderful my wedding was and I would not have had the wedding of my dreams without the help from ABC! Thank you ladies!

tor, we were immediately drawn to ABC Wedding Coordination. Their portfolio showcased a variety of stunning events, and their glowing reviews assured us that we were in capable hands. We decided to book the Basic Coordination Package, which perfectly fit our needs and budget. Mackenzie, our head wedding coordinator, allowed us to enjoy the planning process without feeling overwhelmed. She was incredibly organized, making communication a breeze. ABC Weddings’ planning process ensured that every aspect was covered, from timelines to vendor coordination. As the big day approached, the wrap-up process was seamless. ABC provided us with checklists and reminders, ensuring that we didn’t miss a single detail. The hand-over process was equally impressive; we received a clear outline of our day-of schedule, which allowed us to feel confident and prepared. The rehearsal experience was another highlight. Mackenzie guided us through every step, ensuring that everyone knew their roles. It was both fun and reassuring, setting a positive tone for the wedding day. On our wedding day, ABC’s team exceeded our expectations. Mackenzie was very organized, managed the time well, knew when to provide us with food and drinks, and knew what to do when something unexpected came up (like when I, the bride, needed to use the bathroom before the ceremony and all the guests were already present). She worked behind the scenes to ensure everything flowed smoothly, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment. In conclusion, we are beyond grateful for the hard work and dedication that ABC Wedding Coordination brought to our special day. Their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail made our wedding unforgettable. We can’t recommend them enough!

best day of our lives! Sherry played a huge role in bringing our vision to life! We initially found ABC through social media as they work with several local vendors here on the island. I immediately clicked on their IG page and the amount of information they provide on their website such as vendors, venues, and the different packages they offer just amazed me from the get-go! From the minute they reached out to go over my vision and what we were looking for, I knew we made the right choice. We booked the Signature package as we felt that being on the island, we had a lot of control over which vendors we wanted to work with and also wanted to be hands-on throughout the whole process. The Signature coordination package included planning advice as needed, 3-month mark wrap-up, 3-month point of contact takeover, wedding week inventory swap, rehearsal, and wedding day execution. The systems that they have in place made us feel so comfortable and we built such a trusting relationship with Sherry and she definitely had everything under control. As we look back, it was so nice to be in control of which vendors we wanted to use while also having ABC-Sherry to seek advice from along the way. Sherry has been my right hand and go-to throughout the whole process!! Regardless of how busy she was with other events, she always made me feel like I could reach out to her for anything. Although the company as a whole deserves recognition, in our eyes, the credit goes directly to Sherry! From the very beginning, Sherry has been super detailed, organized, a positive attitude, welcoming and always communicated with us. Sherry is the reason that our wedding day turned out to be perfect!! She was there on the rehearsal day in the pouring rain, helping us set up tables, benches, ensuring the layout was exactly what we wanted it to be, planning for what-ifs in case it was going to down pour on our wedding day! Wedding day!!! There were a few last minute things that needed to be changed, and Sherry made sure to get it all under control. She did this so smoothly to ensure that there was no added stress on my husband and I’s plate and we can’t thank her enough for that. She did it all!! From making sure we adhered to the timeline, making sure we were enjoying ourselves, she even captured some of the most special moments on her on cell phone and this was so unexpected, but shows that she genuinely cares for us. Thank you to everyone who was a part of the planning process and all the helping hands that made our wedding day so magical. Sherry, words can’t thank you enough for everything you did for my husband and I. The friendship we have built is something we will cherish forever. With love, Kyla & Raffy Perono! 10.19.2024

Duffield. We found ABC through our venue, the Four Seasons Ko Olina, as they were on the list of recommended planners. Although we interviewed a few of those companies, we went with ABC because we liked their responsiveness, the flexibility of their packages, and the general vibe we got from our initial call with Lauren. We really wanted to be hands-on in selecting our vendors, but because we were planning our Oahu wedding from New York initially, it was difficult to know where to start. ABC provided plenty of guidance and were quick to answer any questions that we had in this earlier stage. When Jamie took over communications three months out, she had to regularly remind us that we didn't have to email vendors ourselves (one of us loves control). By the end, we were in awe at the sheer number of emails we saw her send and receive (CC'd on everything because of the aforementioned love of control) and so grateful that she was so on top of everything. We grew to quickly trust Jamie completely, not only because of her organizational and logistical prowess, but also because of her insight, advice, and demeanor, all of which are crucial during the stress of wedding planning (which we compounded with a cross-country move (do not recommend)). She never added to our stress, but instead made everything feel manageable. We'd go into a call with her feeling anxious and come out of it feeling optimistic. As for the actual day-of, everything went smoothly and looked perfect. Our guest experience, for both friends and family, was paramount to us, and Jamie delivered with all of her suggestions and execution. She and her assistant coordinator worked so hard to make everything feel effortless and seamless for us. We truly feel like Jamie and the broader ABC team made it all happen, and are so grateful for all their efforts!!

l and sometimes overwhelming thinking about how to go about planning. I booked the hybrid package and initially spoke with Jamie who was super helpful with helping me work out details with my venue and vendors. The wedding sheets provided helped me keep everything organized and if I ever had any questions I was able to reach out to the team prior to the hand-over 3-months before the wedding. We were then assigned Brittany who is AMAZING. She was on top of contacting my vendors when we needed forms from them for the venue and checked in on us regularly. On the wedding day Natalie and the team was there in the morning helping with set up and made our reception look better than we could have imagined. The team was great at reminding us to relax and enjoy ourselves on our special day. We definitely recommend using Aloha Bridal Connections!

, which turned out to be the perfect decision. From our very first meeting, Jamie was attentive and made me feel at ease. I appreciated how available she was for any questions or concerns I had; it was comforting to know I could text her anytime. Jamie’s organization skills were exceptional, helping to streamline the planning process and ensuring that every detail was addressed well before the big day. On the wedding day itself, I felt like I was asking her a million questions, but she handled everything with grace and efficiency. Whenever an issue arose, she was quick to find a solution, which alleviated any stress I might have felt. Having Jamie by my side made what could have been a chaotic experience feel manageable and even enjoyable. I am so grateful for her support and expertise throughout this process. If you’re looking for a wedding coordinator who is dedicated, resourceful, and incredibly supportive, Jamie is your go-to person!

e rental overview/layout creation add-on. We found out 5 months before our big day that our original venue was no longer able to host weddings. ABC quickly helped us adjust our schedule and also provided us with a new layout, so we could continue planning the wedding. For the month and the especially the week leading up the wedding and the day-of, we really owe it to our lead coordinator Mackenzie who led us to the finish line! The week leading up to our wedding, we saw nothing but rain in the forecast but Mackenzie reassured us and provided us with rain contingency plans. The night before she even recommended us to upgrade the tent size to keep our guests dry and we're so glad we did! Mackenzie, Natalie and Leanne (and all our vendors) were troopers as we battled the rain. We can't recommend ABC enough! Thank you to the ABC team!

to ABC for their local expertise, good reviews, and competitive price point. We initially got in touch with ABC founder, Lauren, and were pleased with her promptness. Lauren was fully transparent with ABC's range of wedding planning package options. This worked well for us because we were looking for a flexible business model that best met our specific needs and vision. Jamie was our lead wedding planner, and she too was very prompt in answering our questions and addressing our concerns. Our catch ups were comprehensive and ABC’s use of Google Drive was great in helping everyone track the various tasks and vendor contracts. Jamie was quick and responsive with our vendors and ensured all of them were on the same page with timing. Jamie’s existing relationship with our Hyatt venue proved extremely beneficial as she was already familiar with the event staff and Hyatt’s vendor requirements. The day of our wedding went relatively smooth, with a few hiccups. But Jamie and Paulette rose to the occasion and quickly resolved them to ensure our timeline was successfully adhered to. Paulette was especially amazing in packing up our props and thoughtfully placing them in our room by the end of the night. At the end, everyone had a great time. Thank you ABC!

e outset, their team impressed us with their comprehensive approach and attention to detail, which made the entire planning process smooth and enjoyable. The Signature package was perfect for us that covered every aspect of the wedding planning from helpful guidance for all of our wedding vendors to making sure we stayed on task with the timeline, which helped alleviate a lot of the overall stress in the planning process to the actual vendor coordination and wedding setup. The planning system and process was incredibly helpful in ensuring that no detail was overlooked and we were prepared for all considerations. We specifically worked with Brittany, who was an absolute gem throughout the entire process. Her expertise was evident throughout the planning process but especially shined through during the rehearsal, where she managed to guide us through the intricacies of the ceremony with patience and clarity, as well as on the wedding day where her calm and organized demeanor helped everything run seamlessly. Her support allowed us to fully enjoy our special day without any stress or hiccups. If you're looking for a wedding planner who combines meticulous planning with a personal touch, Aloha Bridal Connections and Brittany are the perfect choice.

ey stood out and made us feel comfortable with their services and experience. We were lucky to be paired with Keyah, who was an absolute angel to work with! She guided us through vendors, timelines, different options, and day-of helped to coordinate our micro wedding to PERFECTION! If you're thinking of planning a destination wedding anywhere in Hawaii, ABC is your go-to!! You will not regret working with them!

ure that every detail was executed flawlessly. While we did encounter a few bumps along the way, Brittany’s unwavering support and guidance, even after the wedding, has made all the difference. Her attention to detail and flexibility turned the planning process into as stress-free of experience as possible, and helped us navigate any and all challenges. Thanks to Brittany and the ABC Team, our special day was truly unforgettable!

helped us when we were planning from a distance. They were very flexible to work with and understanding of our vision. Once we arrived in HI we met with Julie and walked through everything to ensure that the wedding went smoothly. They helped tremendously with the flow and especially the rehearsal to ensure that everything was going to be perfect. We would not have wanted to work with anyone else for the whole planning process. Thank you guys! I genuinely feel very confident in Julie & the ABC team and would recommend them to anyone looking for a planner (& you want a planner, it made my life 100x easier!)

ur and our venue flooded, but it was still epic and amazing, all thanks to the incredible help and support we had from ABC. Brittany has been such a strong advocate for us ever since we started working with her. She was so helpful, organized, kind, calm, fun - I could go on forever!!!! Our bridal party and parents were so impressed with her when they met her at our rehearsal. If it wasn't for Brittany advocating for us, our wedding may not have even happened, or it would have happened in a ballroom, which we really did not want. Our wedding experience was far more stressful than most because of the weather, but Brittany and Jamie were somehow able to keep us calm and keep the spirits high for all of our guests and the bridal party. Our venue was essentially a giant swamp, and Jamie was constantly running around wiping off chairs and our dance floor with pool towels. She even helped us walk our dog. We had a flawless experience with ABC throughout the entire process of wedding planning, the rehearsal, and wedding day. Truly cannot recommend them more. We interviewed a few other wedding planning companies, and they all seemed nice, but nobody compared to ABC. Our friends and family are still talking about how awesome our coordinators were. My bridesmaids and I all wish we could be best friends with Brittany and Jamie in real life, haha! Thank you both so much for everything and for going SO far above and beyond. We will never forget what incredible humans you are and will be forever grateful to you for saving our wedding.

ding through pages of client testimonials, everyone seemed wonderful, but we kept coming back to ABC. From our very first call with their welcome team, we knew they were the right wedding coordinators for us. My husband and I are both born and raised on island, but currently live in Massachusetts, which made wedding planning seem that much more daunting. Given that we still wanted to be hands-on in the vendor selection, but needed strong support in execution, we selected the Signature Coordination package. The systems + planning, wrap-up, handoff processes, and rehearsal were all incredibly simple (feels like a crazy word to be used for wedding planning, right?) and seamless. While everyone at ABC was amazing and super helpful, our lead coordinator, Jaime D. really deserves a special shoutout! From the very beginning, Jaime was the pinnacle of professionalism and an absolute joy to work with. Everything from her helpful reminders to her FLAWLESS execution and agility to navigate unexpected challenges on the day of the wedding- she was truly a god send. Little did we (and our guests) know, the venue we selected actually tried to postpone our wedding the morning of due to weather. This would have been a nightmare to postpone given most of our guests were flying in just for this weekend to attend and we were leaving to our honeymoon the next day. But amidst the chaos, Jaime stood firm and wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer. She quickly re-evaluated our initial game plan and pivoted with our other vendors to make it work. Amongst many adjustments made, the tent layout was rearranged to ensure our catering wouldn’t be impacted, our ceremony location was changed (but still was picturesque as ever), and the show went on without a hitch! It sounds cheesy, but even the skies miraculously parted and we enjoyed wonderful weather throughout the day. We’d feel remiss to not also give a shoutout to the rest of the ABC team (Natalie & Leanne) as well as the rest of our vendors (Pacific Party Rentals, Kuoha Culinary, Redefined Weddings, A Cake Life, Kālele Eats, Waiahole Nursery, Hawaii Events Unlimited)! Highly recommend them as well!We’re so thankful that all our vendors had such great attitudes and absolutely we love how great of a relationship the ABC team had with each one! As a little girl, I was never one to dream of weddings, but thanks to Jaime & the ABC team, my husband and I had a wedding that was better than any that I could ever hope for- we will cherish these memories forever. From the bottom of our hearts, mahalo nui loa! If you’re on the fence about ABC, trust me, they are going to be the single best investment of your entire wedding!!!

had on us and our special day. Even one year later, I can honestly say that ABC was one of the best investments we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, the ABC team members made us feel at ease. We first met co-owner Natalie at a Wedding Collective event in the very early stages of planning. We also got to reconnect with her during our first consultation and deep dive call. Our interactions with Natalie left a great first impression on us. Her friendly nature made us feel cared for from the get-go and this made us feel confident in our decision to go with ABC. We opted for ABC's Basic package, which included a two-month wrap up, two-week communication take-over, rehearsal coordination, and day-of coordination services. We also added unlimited communication from the time of booking, which is not typically included in the Basic package. It was great to be able to find our own vendors while being able to ask ABC for advice at any point along the way. Something that really helped us through the planning process was the Google Sheet checklist of to-dos that ABC shared with us. It helped us consider all of the little details that needed to be addressed. When I felt lost, I scheduled a call with the team. Both Julie and Brittany helped to reassure me that we were on track. Sometimes, you just need validation that you are doing the right thing! About six weeks out, Keyah became our lead. Our check-ins gave us plenty of time to consider all of the details to make our big day run smoothly. When ABC became the point of contact two weeks before the wedding, the handoff was seamless because all of the communication prior. On the day, Keyah, along with Jamie and Emma, helped to bring our vision to life. It was truly amazing to see all of the months of planning come to fruition. They made sure that we always had something to eat or drink, and ensured all of the event spaces were perfect! If there were any hiccups, we didn't know about it. In fact, my mother-in-law's shoe completely fell apart during the reception, and ABC quickly came to the rescue with some superglue! We had no idea until after the wedding was over when she told us about what happened. She was extremely impressed by ABC's level of preparedness, something that we experienced throughout the entire process. It is clear that ABC operations are truly a TEAM effort. Even though we interacted with many people and so many details could have gotten mixed up along the way, everyone at ABC was on the same page, making the whole planning and coordination process seamless. They say "teamwork makes the dreamwork" and ABC truly made our wedding dreams come true! THANK YOU!!! Jessica & Cameron (7/1/23)

their recommendations, Aloha Bridal Connections was the one company that kept popping up - and in hindsight, we know now exactly why everyone loves them. After our initial phone call with Natalie, we just knew we could trust this team of amazing women to be our "boots on the ground" to plan our special day. Derek and I were so lucky to be paired with our lead coordinator, Jamie, who went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. As a type A bride who is super meticulous for every detail, Jamie made sure to stay on top of everything for me. (I may have been such an annoying bride - but Jamie never made me feel bad for constantly reassuring me and answering all my questions). Looking back, my now husband and I were crazy to plan a destination wedding - but having Jamie and team was the only reason it was nothing short of amazing. One of the biggest compliments we heard from guests was the flow of the wedding. This ONLY happened because of ABC. You definitely need planners and a team who knows every vendor, been through every venue - in all types of weather. If you're going to spend a lot of money on a once in a lifetime wedding, at least do so with a team who can execute it perfectly. Lauren, Natalie and Jamie (+ team) made sure that our wedding was going to be the most magical rain or shine. Jamie - thank you for all the hours of video calls, texting, and planning. You are the most thoughtful and sweetest soul we have ever come across. I could not picture a more perfect day and you truly made it happen. Not just for us, but for our family and friends to cherish forever. (Also, besides the one photo of us with Jamie on our site visit, photo credits to EandE Photography who know how to capture the dreamiest photos despite the unpredictable weather!)

coordinator at ABC) was nothing but amazing throughout the entire process. Organized, friendly, and incredibly personable, she made wedding planning an absolute breeze. Although we hired a "day of coordinator" Hannah did so so so much more than just day of coordination. She was incredibly communicative and responsive to any questions we had, and honestly, just overall so fun to talk with and get to know. If you are on the fence about hiring a day of coordinator, save yourself the stress and hire them!! Worth every penny and my personal favorite vendor that we had. I am a planner at heart and very organized myself, but there is no way I would have known half of the things needed to have the day run smoothly if it wasn't for her. Absolutely recommend Hannah and ABC!

r package we would have chosen, they would have delivered. We chose the basic coordination package because I had planned almost everything already by the time we hired them, for us we hired them as they took over two months out and most importantly, day of. We also added on the “site visit + final rental order + customized layout creation” as we were not going to see our venue till rehearsal day. They made the process seamless and we enjoyed every step of the way. Second, JAMIE FRIGGEN DUFFIELD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ABC is SO lucky to have her on their team and we are so so so so so so grateful she was assigned as our lead coordinator. I can not get over her process from start to finish from being assigned lead till now. She is so detail oriented, she is so sweet, she is just so on top of everything. She never made us feel like a bother if we needed to text her. If she could handle a task, she was more than happy to and so dang quick about it. As a bride who is very detail oriented myself, we thought I had it pretty well handled but WOW!!!!! Jamie thought of questions and things we would never think of. A couple weeks out rain was forecasted for our wedding day. She called us and discussed our options. Then she executed changing our rentals to accommodate if it does rain and made it very stress free. She put out the inevitable wedding day fires so fast that we were never stressed. We truly can not say enough nice things about her. Third, McKenzie the assistant coordinator was amazing as well. She handled the end of the night so seamlessly and we were not stressed about one single thing!!! All our belongings were packed up nicely and anything she was unsure about, she double checked on, which we greatly appreciated. Our whole wedding was seamless and wonderful because we hired ABC, but 1,000,000% am so happy we were assigned Jamie. She’s a rockstar. Would rate her 1,000,000/10 lol.

of them till the day of the wedding! Sherry was so informative and sweet! We loved working with them!

ctions (ABC) team. They have made our wedding planning process seem as easy and stress-free as possible, especially planning from the East Coast. From our initial consultation call with Lauren, the owner of ABC, she was so kind in giving us all the information we needed to help us decide in choosing their team. Closer to our wedding, she would also follow-up with us to make sure all was going well. Our lead coordinator, Keyah, was the best! It was such a pleasure planning with her! As organized and detailed she was, it helped us stay focused on how and what we wanted for our wedding. With her consistent follow-ups via emails/texts/monthly calls, suggestions on details, and compliments on our other vendors, it was great to have her knowledge, professionalism, and positive energy and vibes. We also appreciated the time she took to meet with us during the days we were on the island before the wedding. As for the wedding day, I had a little hiccup occur in which she helped me stay calm and focused. It means a lot to me that she cared how I felt not only then, but also during the whole day. Better yet, she also made sure to always ask during the year of planning how we felt. As for the coordination team, Jamie and Mackenzie, they both went out of their way to make sure our ceremony and reception was set up according to plan and that everything ran as smoothly as possible. As much as we were enjoying our time during our reception, we appreciated the follow-ups from Mackenzie. It helped us make sure that we were still on track of things. We can’t thank the ABC team enough for their time to help plan our special yet amazing day with us! Everyone was so great and are very detailed in their line of work. If you are from either from the islands, mainland, or even international and are planning your wedding in Hawaii, we highly recommend ABC to take part in your wedding!

thtaking. We combined our vision with her and she took it to the next level. She helped to solidify our ideas, she had direct contact with all of our vendors on a regular basis, kept us on track with our timelines, and pulled off an amazing event! Our wedding was very large (over 550 ppl) and it was super organized without a glitch thanks to the ABC team. Natalie and Sherry helped to keep our bridesmaids and groomsmen stay on cue the day of and handled intricate details for us. Our wedding was over a month ago and I still have people coming up to me talking about our wedding and saying that it's the best wedding they have ever been to; ABC is to thank for that. Julie is extremely knowledgeable and a whiz with spreadsheets. She had us super organized and ready to conquer any hurdles with suggestions and solutions. Everything turned out beautiful. We both highly recommend ABC for your wedding no matter what island you're getting married on.

d the utmost professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail that truly set them apart. Planning a destination wedding can be a daunting task, but the ABC team took away every worry and turned the entire process into an exciting journey. They listened to our vision, understood our personalities, and curated a wedding that was not only stunningly beautiful but also uniquely "us." The day of the wedding was simply magical, and we owe it all to our lead coordination, Mackenzie. Her coordination ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the celebration. The decor, the timeline, the vendors - everything was flawlessly executed. She was always one step ahead of whatever we needed and always with a smile. We wholeheartedly recommend ABC. They are masters of their craft, and their passion for creating unforgettable moments is palpable!

We had our kick-off consultation call with Julie, who shared the vision of the ABC team and ensured my fiancé (at the time) and I that ABC would be there to support whatever vision WE had for our special day. Doni was also lovely during the preparation process as she helped us keep on track with payment due dates and was always prompt in responding to emails. Package – We ended up going with the ABC Signature package (wrap up + point of contact + day of coordination), which included ABC becoming the point of contact one month before the wedding. I personally found this timing perfect for me as I usually like to maintain the communication with the vendors for as long as possible (i.e. I had various idea changes/inspiration throughout the planning process ). This package also includes ABC working on a wedding day schedule and timeline three months prior the wedding, which I also found helpful to reference as I thought through how I wanted the day to flow. The team provided a Google Sheet for us share and work out of (including timeline, vendor contacts, etc.) -- and as a natural born planner, I can’t say enough GREAT things about this Google Sheet!! Day of Team – The ABC team for our wedding day was Brittany (lead), Carmela and Emma. Brittany was literally the BEST person we could’ve had to ensure our wedding day ran exactly as planned. She always made time for Zoom meetings with us (and my parents) to discuss any last-minute details and was always prompt in responding to texts. Aside from the day of nerves I got from thinking about walking down the aisle in front of so many people, I was never nervous about how the overall day was going to flow, thanks to Brittany. While we only met Carmela and Emma that day, they made us feel at home and as if we were working with them the whole time literally the whole day of team was so sweet, ensured we always had something to eat or drink, and ensured all of the spaces – ceremony, reception, etc. – were set up exactly as envisioned. Our Guests’ Feedback – We had just under 200 people at our wedding, in which over half of the guests were out-of-town (East Coast, California, Seattle, Australia). Because many people were traveling in for our big day, it was critical to us that everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable time – we wanted to ensure Hawaii didn’t disappoint! Thanks to the ABC team, our guests had nothing but great things to say about the evening, and even complimented Brittany and her team on her organization and adherence to the day of timeline A few of our friends were following the timeline on their phone throughout the day/night and were extremely impressed how punctual everything was, especially with a larger sized wedding. I highly, highly recommend working with ABC for your big day. From the kick-off consultation call (before any wedding prep began) to ensuring all vendors were out and our personal decorations/props were packed up (at the end of the wedding night), the whole process was seamless and perfect. Thank you ABC!! - Rachelle and Andrew
