Aloha Maui Dream Weddings

a for performing our ceremony! It was PERFECT!!! More than we could’ve ever imagined as we celebrated our 20 yr anniversary with our two kids ages 19 and 14!! Thank you so much!! We highly recommend!! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DBLTyqixN2m/?igsh=MWV1M2w0bDh5aDZsZQ==

exactly what we wanted. From the beginning, Darci answered all our questions very promptly and put as at ease. She took care of all the details so that we didn’t have to do anything except show up! And when unexpected bad weather threatened our sunset plans, she offered us great options at the last minute to save the day! The ceremony was quiet lovely and her words were beautifully perfect. We plan to re-read them to each other every year on our anniversary. Also, Penny did such a great job with the photos that we are having trouble deciding which ones to chose! A huge thank you to both Darci and Penny for making our wedding unforgettable and special.

hotography were perfect. We used Penny and Darci for our 30th anniversary and loved our pictures so much that we came back for more!!! They pictures are hanging in our house so we can cherish the memories of that day. my screensaver on my computer is our family picture. We did the ceremony and photo session at Napili Bay Beach, with the sunset in the background. The sunset was spectacular and stunning. I highly recommend using Darci and Penny for any anniversary or special event. They make every picture special. Aloha!!! 🌺🌺🌺

ing we could have hoped for happened. Darci and her team took amazing care of us. From the photos and video, to the live music, everything was as we wanted it. We mixed Hawaiian, Christian, Irish, and Jewish traditions to make this a wedding to remember. top marks to Aloha Maui Dream Weddings! The only negative - and I am being nit picky - was the entree at dinner was not served warm enough. There were only 16 of us, so there is no excuse. Thank goodness we had one of the best tasting wedding cakes I have ever tasted.

regret it!

time when we needed anything or had questions! This has been a detail oriented dream wedding! I promise you will be in the best Maui cate! Tammy and Frank Troxell 😊😎😍

her, and we are grateful for the beautiful experience with my new husband, our family and friends.

t absolutely perfect!!

, finding the perfect spot to the photographer to the second my last name changed it was amazing! Darci did an amazing job! #HappilyEverAfter

t was the perfect day!

n Alika. Thank you all for making it a magical moment. I would highly recommend To any one looking to look no further and give Darci a call. This team will make your dreams come true.

far), and was always quick to answer any and all questions I came up with. When we began planning the intricacies of my event, she had TONS of recommendations and ideas that all perfectly matched my vision. The entire day ran PERFECT and the end result was beyond anything I could have even imagined- straight from my Pinterest board! If you are looking for a team that knows how to take care of business to ensure your day runs smooth while making your dreams come true, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Darci and her team!

Kuya would be able to make it, and Darci was able to get another in time. Both officiants ended up making it, and both Kahu Alalani and Robert Kuya performed our ceremony. It felt extra special and we will always have a piece of our hearts here. Definitely recommend! Mahalo!

nd phone throughout the course of 7 months, she was always patient, kind, and answered all of my questions. On the day of, Darci and Penny were just fantastic. Their attitudes were contagious, and they made everyone feel comfortable. Darci very clearly told us what we needed to do and we really felt like we were in capable hands. I trusted that I could simply tell her what I wanted and she would make it happen. And that’s exactly how it went. Our wedding was the best day of our lives and we will always be grateful to Darci and Penny!!

ointment because our plane was late and she helped us arrange another time. Sherylinn at the license center waited for us. Reverend Kuya was wonderful and our photographer Ian from Penny Palmer photography helped us feel comfortable and made memories for a lifetime.

ic the month before our wedding... can a Word doc with a few pictures and notes be enough to execute a wedding? Well, it was literally magical! And it's not just the couple saying that - everyone in our family and wedding guests did too. The venue, flowers, vendors, etc. were all better than I could have imagined. I left a lot of details up to her and she crushed it! Darci is a total professional with a lot of experience and connections on the island. You can trust her for everything along the way. Which is exactly what you want for a destination wedding that doubles as a vacation! We enjoyed the wedding weekend with zero stress knowing that if anything came up, Darci would take care of it. I can't recommend her and her team enough. A couple of small notes in case it helps: It seems like she prefers text and email as a means of communication after the initial call (easier to refer back to, so I was on board). She has a well-oiled cadence that gets things done when they need to get done, but she has a lot of clients so it wasn't super hands-on in our case until 2 weeks out. Then you feel like her top priority :)

king until a week after we arrived back home… still so responsive and helpful! I could go on and on about how wonderful her entire team is… but I promise you. Book your wedding with her and you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! I never imagined that my dream wedding could be so carefree and without an ounce of stress! We simply showed up that morning at 8:00 am.. which at first I was like… seriously? But Darci assured me I would not be disappointed due to the color of the water and lighting the morning sun provided! Visit Penny Palmer photography on Facebook to see the magnificence of color for yourself! Upon our arrival she had everything I described ready and on point, right down to a replica open ended lei I wanted carry draped across my arms. The ceremony was fun.. lighthearted and relaxed.. just as we dreamed! Her team is complete with just real down to earth people. The kind you would love to go out and have a night on the town with. A few days after the wedding we ended up with a flat tire up in the mountains, an hour away from civilization.. within minutes she was on the phone with me, knew exactly where we were based on our description and helped arrange a tow truck to come get us! Then continued to follow up with us the next day to assure all was well! I guess you could consider her and her colleagues the epitome of a full service company! So if your reading this review as I did before booking with her.. don’t hesitate.. don’t question yourself.. email her and then sit back and relax, because the hardest part is over! The rest will be the best experience you can ever imagine!

easy! From the details of the day to post ceremony dinner recommendations! Darci and Penny are so amazing! Our ceremony was magical, literally like something out of a fairytale.

veyor belt wedding service and were provided a breathtaking experience where we were catered to, explained, and put as the center of attention every step of the way. We were asked to provide a synopsis of our relationship prior to our vacation and were astounded when they recalled so many details, as if they did their homework to tailor the experience to us with extreme precision. Exceeding expectation is an understatement. We can't recommend Darci and Penny enough!!!!

cted. She loves what she does and it not only shows in how she works with you but throughout all aspects of the experience. We had so much fun with Darci and her team that we also scheduled a Trash The Dress photoshoot with them as well while we were on Maui.

ly made our ceremony special. He incorporated everything we asked for and we couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony. Our photographer, Ian was amazing. He has an eye for capturing the beauty of the surroundings and made us look amazing as well. I highly recommend Aloha Maui Dream Weddings to make your day memorable and special. They are so amazing to work with!

and Darcy immediately solved the problem with an even better venue! My husband and I were very impressed.

r event from thousands of miles away from the location, but with these guys, it was seamless and stress-free. They were responsive, professional, knowledgeable, punctual, and extremely helpful the day of. They literally handled EVERYTHING! We were able to enjoy our beautiful day without worry, which was the most important thing to us. Darci and Penny aren't just amazing at what they do, they are amazing people as well. They will forever be connected to us and our special day. We are super grateful that we stumbled onto their website, and if you're reading this review.....look no further. They should be your choice. You won't regret it!

but she still make me feel like I/We were a priority to get the wedding we had envisioned. She gave us great information on beaches best for sunset weddings and where to get a wedding cake. She also helped send us links on covid regulations for Hawaii. I really enjoyed her sense of humor and friendliness as well as again making me feel like my wedding was a big deal even though it was super small scale compared to what I am sure she is used to. The officiant to the photographer were also the absolute best! We LOVE OUR EXPERIENCE fully and extremely grateful. My only sadness is that I actually didn't get to meet her. :) Cheers and Mahalos for your time!

s handled and all questions were answered very quickly. By the time we got to Hawaii I was confident everything would be handled perfectly and it certainly was. Darci and her team made sure communication was clear and frequent taking the guesswork out of trying to plan a wedding from afar. I would highly recommend Darci and her team, it was a fantastic experience!

easy for us. The ceremony was just perfect, everything went smooth, we just had to enjoy, Darcy was taking care of everything else! We definitely recommend her if you want to get married in Maui. Prices were affordable compared to the other packages and we like the fact that things were easily customizable and could match what we wanted.

h I could relive this perfect day over and over again. Penny Palmer captured the most amazing photos that we got back SO quickly. I would highly recommend Darci with Aloha Maui Dream Weddings and Penny Palmer photography to anyone!!!

g was rescheduled due to the pandemic. We weren't really sure how if it would work out this year but it did and it the whole experience exceeded our expectations. Darci and Penny kept in contact with us throughout the year checking in and giving updates. It was great using that time to build a foundation of trust. They really care about their clients and it shows! When the date got closer they were so helpful in reminding us about testing, coordinating with the State of Hawaii to get our marriage license, providing any recommendations during our stay in Maui, checking in on me on the morning of our ceremony, and reminded us to not forget the rings and license docs before we headed out the door. They were thoughtful and we really appreciated how communicative they were. Kuya married us and Ian was our photographer and those two were a hit! They worked so beautifully together and the ceremony just flowed and was stress free the entire time. It was absolutely perfect! Right after Kuya left the beach he submitted our license paperwork and we received an email that it was already filed. I figured it would take a day or 2. We were promised our photo packet within 3-4 weeks. NOPE! No waiting there either! We received them 6 days later. Our WHOLE experience through a pandemic and all was top notch and exceeded our expectations. Aloha Maui Dream Weddings really work hard and create relaxing, stress free, and beautiful dream weddings. Ours was nothing less than perfect! I am so grateful we chose them to be part of our big day! Honestly you will not find better service, photography, attention to detail, or care from another business like them. They lead with love and are amazing at what they do. Ohana for life!! ❤❤❤ Thank you Darci, Penny, Kuya, and Ian--- we are forever grateful to have had the opportunity to have this amazing experience with you.

execution- the proof is in the details! From a distance, we felt a connection & knew we were in great hands! Having traveled from Florida, we had to blindly trust and put our Faith in their expertise and knowledge of the island! Thank God we did! From keeping a nervous groom calm during a freak storm and being flexible with locations to accommodate nature, Darci and Penny’s confidence and professionalism reassured this bride that my dream wedding would be absolutely perfect! AND THEY DELIVERED! We were blessed with the Hawaiian Wedding Trifecta- ⛈ 🐳 🌈- and they captured it all! A million MAHALO’s DONT GO ANYWHERE ELSE! You’ve stumbled on THE best of the best!

e UK we were initially concerned that time-difference would make planning our wedding more difficult but Darci was available at all hours and no-doubt some of the most productive planning conversations we had were in the middle of the night for her and she never hesitated to make us feel completely at ease. Darci also not only made our wedding day incredible but our whole holiday in Hawaii was significantly enhanced because of the input she had in planning our trips and recommending places to visit for ourselves and all of our guests. From booking nail appointments to hooking us up with the most amazing private snorkelling trip to Molokini Crater, her professionalism and devotion to her work is unquestionable. Our actual wedding day went completely seamlessly all down to Darci, she had everything covered from every angle and her staff maintained the highest standards throughout! Thank you thank you and thank you again Darci for a magical time that we will never ever forget, we are truly privileged to have had the most incredible wedding planner who has know become a true friend to us!

s and recommendations for anything we asked for and even things we didn't even know enough to ask for! We had a total of 11 people at our beach ceremony and all of them agreed that it was one of the, if not THE, BEST wedding they had ever attended. Beyond the gorgeous setting, Darci was an amazing officiant, providing a ceremony that touched on everything a perfect wedding is: meaningful, personal, spiritual, relaxed, fun, grounded and real.....We honestly cannot say enough about her extraordinary services. It was stress-free and honestly just the most beautiful and joyful time for everyone involved! Book Darci for your Maui wedding and also use her partner's photography services (see review of Penny Palmer Photography). You will not regret the choice! We'd do it over again exactly the same in a heartbeat! Mahalo!

sure they were not included. Penny was our photographer she was so easy to be around and be ourselves. Darci was by our side the whole time letting us know what we would be doing, how things will happen and making sure we were on schedule. We wanted a sunset ceremony and everything went smoothly, we had a beautiful ceremony. We cannot thank Aloha Maui Dream Weddings enough for our special day.

n the way they could make a really meaningful ceremony, we'll never forget this special moment in our life, they make it unforgettable. Thank you so much to all their team for their amazing job

hly recommend them to any couple who is thinking about getting married in Maui.

ifficult but Darci made it unbelievably easy. Before working with Darci, I was actually with a different planner at a different company and all communication was done via email. Each decision would take 1-2 days because of the time difference between Maui and Texas. Because things were moving at a snail’s pace, I started looking for other options and found AMDW (thank God!) I told Darci my guest count and budget and within minutes she found a great option for us. By going with the venue she found for us, we saved a lot of money and we got way more bang for our buck. After signing on with AMDW, Darci was attentive and easily accessible via text and was SUPER prompt with emails. Darci is very knowledgeable, attentive, and straightforward - everything you need in a planner. From the makeup artist, to the videographer- Darci was able to save me so much money with all of the vendors she has access too. TRUST HER, she won’t steer you wrong. She has excellent taste but is always mindful of your budget. She also has a great personality and will definitely make you feel at ease from start to finish. The day of the wedding was absolutely a DREAM. We had our wedding at Gannon’s in Wailea and it was absolutely STUNNING. We couldn’t believe that our venue could be so amazing! All the decor and florals she helped us pick looked gorgeous. Darci and Penny were with us the day of and Darci did a wonderful job managing our guests, bridal party and my tipsy groom ;) Everything went very smoothly! Darci thought on her feet to alter the schedule slightly so that we could get cake cutting photos while the lighting was still nice outside. Gannon’s doesn’t set a set price for your open bar and will charge you per drink. We had an alcohol budget and when our bar tab was starting to approach our budget, Darci pulled me aside to let me know so that we could make the decision to keep going or do last call. THANK YOU SO MUCH DARCI AND AMDW! We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect wedding for us!

went, especially since we live far from Hawaii and it was my first time visiting so I didn’t know what to expect.

rapher Penny who captured our special day. Darci was very helpful at answering all our questions before the ceremony, gave great tips on the best time of the day for the ceremony (for the morning, definitely go with 8am - trust Darci and you will not regret it). She was patient with answering our questions from what part of the island we should stay at, to makeup/hair/flower vendor suggestions. She made the wedding day stress free. The ceremony itself was perfect for me and my partner and we will remember it forever! The photos turned out so great thanks to Penny, that we ended up buying the whole gallery as there were so many great shots, that we didn’t want to give up any. We strongly recommend going with Darci and Penny for anyone planning a wedding in Maui. Mahalo!

ly what I needed. She looked after every little detail, right down to picking a flower for my hair from her own Plumeria tree. Our wedding was absolutely perfect! Private, intimate and incredibly romantic.

s we had, setting our minds at ease that they had everything handled and we didn't need to worry about anything because they had it all sorted! Our wedding day was perfect, Our Beach was the perfect location, our own little paradise. We loved how it was focused on our relationship, our trials during our time together. It made the ceremony so personal and knowing it was specific to us was lovely! We not only had an awesome wedding day we met two people who we were honoured to share our day with. The photo's told the story of our wedding so well, we are able to share our day with our family and friends even though they weren't there. Thank you so much Darci and Penny, we are so grateful!

what worked for us! Amazing service and value for the cost and a gorgeous stress-free wedding!

a connection with both Darci and Penny that when our 5 year anniversary rolled around we didn't think twice to reach out to them to capture the special moment again for us! They are both the utmost of professionals and we would recommend them to anyone looking to plan a wedding or anniversary on Maui!

ond our expectations. I highly recommend Darci and her team to anyone that is planning on getting married in Maui! Penny was wonderful as well and the pictures came out amazingly. Mahalo!

n easy task. Darci was there every step of the way. She was able to plan a wedding that was 6 months away in a matter of hours. She had the musician, photographer, videographer, officiant, and location locked down the same night I first spoke with her. She was able to adapt our ceremony to fit us and not make it just another cookie cutter destination wedding. I told her over and over that she was my fairy godmother, and she really was. I don't know that I could have pulled off everything she managed.

and was immediately messaged by Darci asking if I had any questions. She sent pricing/packages that night and within a couple days we booked her day of coordinating services. From there she explained the process and what she needed from us. She sent over a detailed questionnaire that helped guide us in all the decision making for our wedding. We spoke on the phone, over text and through email and she was quick to respond and when she didn’t have time to answer all of our questions in that moment, she communicated when she’d have answers. Fast forward to the rehearsal, Darci did an amazing job making sure our wedding party knew exactly where to be and what to do. When the groomsmen got a little out of hand, she pulled them aside to ensure they understood their part. We walked away from the rehearsal feeling at ease and knowing our day was in good hands. The day of our wedding she texted me to keep me in the loop that she was there and all was going well- this made it so we could relax! Darci got us all down the isle & had a shot waiting for us once we officially tied the knot! She also kept the guests engaged with our photo guest book and made sure to box our cupcakes for their favors. I do have to add that the night before our big day we had a last minute change to our guest list and I was able to text her details and all was taken care of. I’d advise you to stop looking around for planners/coordinators and BOOK DARCI! Darci, thank you so much for all you did to make our big day special. I’ve heard from several guests that our wedding was the smoothest they’ve ever attended and that’s all due to you! You truly made our dream wedding come true. Lots of love, Morghan & Lincoln.
