After almost 3 decades of event planning, I realize I truly enjoy doing full day wedding celebrations that include both ceremony and reception so that I can be your support system, expert, and resource from concept to creation. It’s why I keep my prices affordable and share my discounts with my couples. My super power is personalizing and customizing your wedding or event so it represents YOU, and is unique from other weddings you have attended. To provide an unforgettable experience for everyone, I create practical strategies to implement romanticized plans and ideas. Through interviews, conversations, texts, video chats, emails, and more, I learn about you and produce a detailed wedding blueprint that showcases your individualized planning journey. FUN FACTS 1. I've been on (and won $) on Wheel of Fortune & other game shows. 2. My favorite color is purple. 3. My last meal on earth would be garlicky Caesar Salad, Warm Sourdough Bread, and Bananas Foster. 4. Bucket list trips include Prague and Switzerland. 5. I LOVE to travel & experience new places, but I am a fearful plane traveler until the safe landing. 6. Nothing beats an amazing Deep Tissue Massage. Nothing. 7. Music, Comedy, and the Beach (and sometimes Shopping!) are my therapy. 8. I would go everywhere in my PJ's if it were socially acceptable. 9. I am a cancer survivor. 10. Law & Order is on in the background while I'm working on the computer.

We are so happy with how everything turned out for our wedding thanks to Tori and her efforts coordinating with the entire wedding team. We contacted Tori when we had an idea of what our wedding should look like, but we hadn’t locked down a venue yet in Hawai’i. Tori helped us identify the perfect location, and that kicked off our wedding planning efforts. Tori was very organized with her planning materials and on the calls that we had with her, taking down notes for every little detail over the course of ~11-12 months.
Tori is very experienced and knowledgeable about how to run various types of weddings, and she worked with us to plan our wedding within our budget and vision, suggesting the perfect combination of vendors and designs to include. We wanted to be conscious of our budget despite planning a wedding in Hawaii and were very happy with how everything turned out. On wedding day, you can trust Tori to lead the charge and get everyone on the same page to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Tori suggested all of our vendors and organized meetings and information with those vendors to ensure a successful wedding. Tori was available for calls and very responsive to our questions throughout the planning process. We would definitely recommend Tori for your wedding, especially if it’s in Hawai’i!

Tori was our wedding coordinator for our 60 person event at Sugar Beach Events on 12.12.24. We picked Tori after interviewing a dozen coordinators. Her responsiveness and accessibility from the onset was what set her apart from the rest. As a native new yorker and type A personality – it was such a blessing and relief when I knew Tori would respond ASAP to any issues, questions or requests. This, combined with her service level and price packages made selecting her easy.
Tori was available for unlimited support and discussions through the entire process. She provided vendor recommendations and participated in many of the vendor discussions. She was very proactive in chasing down vendors – even visiting them on site to ensure we got the best for our event. She managed our day of timeline and was incredibly creative in solving pain points for us – she even went above and beyond to manage our event transportation (divers, van rentals etc). Access to her stash of wedding materials (frames, candles, linens, etc) were SO helpful, especially when it comes to destination weddings. We also added Tori’s services to our welcome drinks event, which she decorated and set up for us. Throughout the entire process it was clear how much Tori cared for us and wanted or wedding events to go smoothly, be memorable and for us to really enjoy ourselves!
We were grateful for Tori’s years of wedding planning experience and dedication to US throughout the entire process. Thank you Tori!

We thought we could plan our own wedding and hire a day of coordinator so we could enjoy our wedding day. Tori and a few other companies offered Day of Coordination, so we contacted them, but Tori stood out for many reasons. Her email response was personalized and not some generic response like the others. She wanted to actually speak to us to get to know us instead of just booking us. What really stood out was her passion and her energy---it's authentic and infectious.
Fast forward to hiring her for full service planning, which was amazing. Tori made us feel at ease and had everything under control. She always had the best ideas and suggestions, and she was able to connect us with the best professionals who cared about making our wedding special.
Tori is thoughtful about everything and she makes sure the wedding day runs smoothly. We didn't need to worry about anything, and appreciated that she looked after us and our guests the entire time.
Hiring Celebrations by Tori was the best decision we made for our wedding day.

I was in my friend’s wedding party and could not get over how “on it” Tori is the entire time. She doesn’t miss a beat. I wish my planner had been more like her for our wedding!
My friend was never stressed while planning her wedding. She was completely calm on her wedding day. Everything was perfect.
I don’t know how much my friend paid for peace of mind, but I can tell you whatever she paid, it was worth it!
(My friend is VERY private and does not me to share her real date or photos, but trust me, it was stunning and fun!)

Tori needs to write a book and do videos about wedding planning. She is the BEST. So refreshing to have someone so transparent and attentive. She actually LISTENED to what we wanted and made it all work. No ask was too big for her. Tori made everything possible for us. She has an extensive and impressive network of professionals who all went above and beyond for us. We always felt comfortable and stress-free when we spoke with Tori, and we never worried about a thing. We knew she had everything under control and would be able to represent us well when making any decisions. She absolutely knows everything about wedding planning and has a comprehensive understanding of everyone's services involved so that nothing is overlooked. From day one, Tori thought of things we never would have considered on our own, so we knew we had made the right decision to hire a planner. Throughout our planning and on the wedding day, we knew Tori would take care of every detail. Little did we know she would also have so many amazing surprising personal touches for us! Our wedding day was the best day ever, and we have Tori to thank for that. We could not have done this without her.

Our experience with Tori and her team of miracle workers was nothing short of spectacular.
My husband and I keep reminiscing about our wedding day, and we agree that we could not have asked for a more perfect wedding day.
From the day we hired Tori, she made wedding planning so much fun. That doesn't mean I didn't stress when guests didn't respond, or that I wasn't worried about everything because I am a control freak. But, Tori always assured me that she had our best interests at heart and would take care of everything for us.
I was hesitant to hire a coordinator at first because I was worried that they would take up a lot of our budget. Tori was different from everyone we interviewed. Not only did she save us money, but she even surprised us with little personalized details based on the information in our interview.
Tori very obviously LOVES what she does and you can easily see how much everyone loves working with her. No matter how many people are coming at her with questions, or how crazy the questions and requests are, she maintains her beautiful smile and tries to accommodate everyone. Her smile and positive energy puts everyone at ease, and she is prepared with anything you might need, from bandaids and sunscreen to cake knife and sewing kits. Don't get me wrong, she is honest and direct so that there is not any miscommunication or misunderstandings. Every detail is documented and she does not miss a beat. But she is FUNNY and FUN, and that energy made it possible for us trust Tori with everything from the day we hired her.
We are so grateful for Tori's creativity and attention to detail, as well as her straightforwardness and out-of-the-box strategizing to create a wedding day that we are all still referring to as the best day of our lives.

Tori was incredible and we couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner. I’d asked our venue to recommend planners they’d worked with before, and one of the names they shared was Tori. I looked up her Instagram, and one of the pictures she had shared was spam musubi as the late-night snack for one of the weddings she’d recently coordinated. I think immediately I knew our vision for our wedding would meld perfectly with Tori’s – fun, approachable, high-energy, gorgeous but not overly formal, and when we first spoke on the phone there was an instant connection. Her extensive experience was also reassuring for us, since we live in California. She was very thorough, and at least a full month before we flew to Maui everything was settled and all that was left was for us to show up.
Tori has deep roots in Hawaii and connected us to the best vendors. They were all amazing to work with, and clearly love working with her. She not only helped us with every aspect of the wedding, but also gave us recommendations for the pre-wedding Beach Day we wanted to throw for our guests. Thanks to her we went to an amazing beach (not well-known to tourists), and were able to easily rent beach equipment and games for the perfect prelude to the big day.
The wedding itself was perfect, and huge credit for that is due to Tori and her team. She has a sharp eye for design and everything was appointed beautifully. Every recommendation she’d made, around furniture, flowers, etc., was perfect, and we were thankful we’d listened to her. She even surprised us with countless additional details throughout the wedding. Tori has an abundance of awesome ideas, and one suggestion we took was having a flower bar during cocktail hour, with an instructor showing guests how to create leis. We loved coming back from our portrait session to see every one of our guests rocking flowers—it was a huge hit. Tori was reading the room and adjusting the schedule to flow seamlessly, for example having us move a couple speeches earlier, to while orders were being taken, to break them up and feel less long. Obviously we had spam musubi (and ube cookies) as late-night snacks for the guests on their way out, and as a final surprise Tori had set up an extraordinary amount of flowers in our hotel room, along with a display of our tribute photos.
Tori is genuine and caring, and her design for our wedding felt very personal and tailored to us as a couple. She can be a mad scientist when you need creativity and vision, and then be efficient and organized when things need to get done. We were truly so lucky to work with her and will forever be thankful for her enormous role in the best day of our lives.

All I can say is WOW! My new husband and I attended a wedding recently planned by Celebrations by Tori and were so impressed that we needed to share our rating. If we could give more stars, we would! I have attended a lot of weddings, and she is the best I have ever experienced. My friend (the bride) was so calm the WHOLE TIME, and she is a control freak most of the time. She just kept saying that she knew Tori had it covered, and she did. The wedding seemed flow so smoothly and perfectly. From the time we were welcomed with a drink when we arrived to the farewell with sparklers, everything was so perfectly executed. From a guest's perspective, and as the bride's close friend, I can say with 100% certainty, that Tori is an amazing person and planner. She loves what she does and it shows.

I cannot say enough good things about working with Tori. We had our wedding in a tricky venue on the beach, but Tori was so amazing to work with and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. Tori was easy to communicate with, was flexible and helped us stay within our budget. Tori truly did a great job of making my vision come to life, and made sure the day of everything ran smoothly so we could just entire our special day. Would absolutely recommend Tori to anyone looking for a wedding planner!

AMAZING! Kept amazing control of our fun and rowdy group while still keeping it fun! She made my friend's wedding STUNNING! The whole day ran so smoothly, from getting ready to getting us all out of there on time. Her vendors LOVE HER! They hug and have fun, and she always has a smile. NOTHING stressed her out, not even the weather. Tori never lost her cool and my friend remained calm and collected the entire time! We attend a lot of weddings and I hardly ever see the bride and groom eat or have fun with their friends. Tori made sure they had their drinks and sat to eat, and she made sure there was a lot of time to dance and have fun. I really loved how one part of the wedding flowed to the next part. Incredibly organized, well-timed, and everything aligned beautifully. SO IMPRESSED! A lot of us were saying how we wished she had been our coordinator for our weddings! If you want to get married and have someone who thinks of everything (she shared some great wedding hacks with us!) and handles all of the stress for you, then you need to hire Tori! Her design skills are out of the box and she has the best suggestions to personalize every aspect of your day. Celebrations by Tori is worth EVERY PENNY!!!

Tori was AMAZING to work with.
Her and I had many calls/texts and emails until the day of the wedding.
She was more then happy to provide honest feedback and suggestions about any questions or concerns I had with Design concepts or things I wanted incorporated into the special day.
She was patient, kind, and very easy to work with. I commented on her amazing work ethic and quick responses several times.
No matter what your vision is, she will walk alongside you to curate the most beautiful day!
Our wedding day was beautiful. I did not have to worry about a single thing.
All our guests were as equally impressed by the food, music, ambiance and intimate setting that was created with Tori's help.

I called at least 10 other wedding planners in Maui and felt discouraged until I spoke with Tori. From our first conversation I could tell she truly cared about what she does, and her passion never wavered. I was not the kind of bride who had dreamed about my fantasy wedding, but she took the time to get to know us and tapped into our interests to get us excited. While Tori is transparent and direct (which I definitely appreciated) she was also thoughtful and considerate of my anxiety about having a big wedding and being the center of attention. I just wanted to elope with my fiance, but my fiance wanted the whole wedding experience. He was very involved in the planning and also appreciated Tori's approach. She kept us organized and inspired, and created vision boards to help us visualize the wedding details. From our scattered thoughts and ideas she was able to create a cohesive, interactive, fun and personalized wedding that felt like US. I was able to trust her implicitly and never doubted her transparency. She definitely undercharges for her services. My brother spent way more on their wedding coordinator and she was a huge disappointment. Her calm demeanor kept us relaxed and enabled us to truly enjoy our wedding. With Tori there to take care of the details I didn't worry about anything and was able to be present with my friends and family. I don't know how she handles it all, but she does, and always with a smile! Her expertise, experience, and extensive network of reliable vendors made the planning process and our actual wedding day beyond perfect. Everyone still talks about how perfect and fun it was!

One of the first things that attracted us to Tori was how responsive she was and how much experience she had as a wedding planner on Maui. Both of those qualities really shined through in our experience working with her. We had less than a year to plan a 3 day Maui wedding in 2022 for about 100 people. Tori quickly helped us find a weather appropriate venue, and connected us to many of the right vendors thus saving us so much time. In this age of pinterest and instagram, I really appreciated how Tori thought through the functionality of every element. Finally what really set Tori apart from the 10+ other wedding planners that I interviewed was that fact that its not just a job for her, she really truly cares about your wedding and she wants to make it an awesome event. Thank you Tori!

We worked with Tori for our wedding planning. She was amazinggg, and I can’t recommend her enough . She would let me know if there was anything that would put us over budget and she would suggest something similar but cheaper. She made sure I had nothing to worry about on the day of, and to be honest my wedding was everything I have ever wanted. I had wedding planners telling me my vision was not possible with my budget and Tori made it all possible .

If I could give Tori more than 5 stars, I would! Our guests are STILL raving about our wedding and welcome party!
We could not have done ANY of it without Tori. One of the things we most appreciated was her honesty about costs. She told us that our budget was not realistic for our vision and she was RIGHT. Even with her discounts, we still went over budget but it was SO WORTH IT! They say you get what you pay for and we paid more than $1000 per guest for the wedding day (60 guests). How much is peace of mind worth to you? Her knowledge and expertise were invaluable.
Tori helped us personalize our wedding so it truly stood out from the others. There are many pretty weddings on Maui, but many of them look the same. That is easy to see on IG and Pinterest. Ours was highly personalized and expressed the two of us while including our guests in many interactive experiences.
I am sure things went wrong behind the scenes, but we never knew about them. Tori always came out with a smile, even when it was raining, windy, hot beyond belief, and when others were coming at her with a barage of questions. She is calm under pressure and uses humor to get through everything. My bridesmaids were impressed with how calm she kept me because I am a control freak.
While Tori is incredibly detail oriented and organized, weather and people can change those plans. She knows all of the ins and outs of the venues, the professionals, and the design, which helped us to make many critical decisions in a timely manner. Even when I had no idea what I wanted, she asked me the right questions to create a vision that I could not articulate.
Tori is on site from the time your rentals are delivered to the time they are removed from your venue. When we spoke with one of the rental companies, we were told that she is one of the very few planners who actually do this, which they truly appreciate. Our wedding was a production and she is not only directing others, she is hands-on with everything. It is impressive to watch. Since we got ready at the venue, we were able to observe her all day.
You know, you read reviews about people and sometimes question their authenticity. I mean, how does someone like Tori have so many amazing reviews? I am here to tell you the 5 star reviews are 100% truth. The entire planning experience was magical, and it all goes by so quickly on your wedding day. Tori will tell you to look at everything as you make your way down the aisle and take it all in. She will explain that it is like a movie in your head and pass quickly after a year of planning. This could not be truer.
If you want someone HONEST, TALENTED, DETAIL ORIENTED, KNOWLEDGEABLE, KIND, EXPERIENCED, HARD-WORKING... someone who goes ABOVE AND BEYOND for you...TORI is your girl! I promise that regardless of what happens to alter your plans on your day, she will work hard to make everything work out according to plan or better.
Everything was absolutely amazing and perfect! We are already talking about a vow renewal for our first anniversary!

If you are looking for someone who really knows her stuff, then go no further than Celebrations by Tori. We were supposed to get married in 2020 and had to reschedule our wedding for 2021. Tori kept us calm and excited the entire time, even though our plans changed a lot of times.
I hired Tori after already hiring my photographer and picking my venue. Even though Tori had not worked with my photographer before, she was open to working with her and shared all of the wedding details. My photographer said she had never worked with a more organized and detail oriented wedding planner!
Our guest count changed, our date changed, our details changed, but Tori kept us informed in her summary and never let us feel discouraged. Everyone was surprised at how calm I was on my wedding day (I'm sort of a control freak!) , but I knew Tori and her team had it all under control.
Go with the flow and enjoy your wedding. It happens once. It happens quickly. She told me before I walked down the aisle to look around and take it all in, because it would be one of the only thing I'd remember and that it happens so quickly. She explained it's like a movie that happens so quickly. She was RIGHT!
If you are looking for a fluffy "yes" person who makes you think it will all work out but then doesn't make it actually work out, that is not Tori. If you want to know the good, the bad, and the ugly, so you can make the best decision for yourself, then TORI IS YOUR GIRL!

When my husband and I decided on a destination in Maui we knew we would need to find someone to help us. We began working with Tori in 2019 to plan our July 2020 wedding. Unfortunately, due to COVID we had to postpone our wedding until July 2021. Tori was amazing through the entire process. She took the time to get to know us by having us complete a very detailed questionnaire and from there she took our likes and interests and truly helped us have the most BEAUTIFUL wedding I could have ever dreamed for me and our twenty guests. She went above and beyond at every step of the way and exceeded my expectations. Her suggestions, connection to the local vendors, assistant, and small details she thought of and just did were so appreciated. I truly can not thank her enough!!

Let me just start this out by saying Tori did an amazing job with our wedding and kept us within COVID compliance. Just weeks before our big day the Governor of Hawaii reinstated their COVID mandate and Tori was on it! She sent in an application to Maui County on behalf of us so we could have the wedding we had been planning for. She ensured a compliance officer took our guests' temperatures and had them sign COVID liability forms upon entry at the venue. If she could make our wedding a dream, it’d be great to see what she could do without having to spend time on COVID mandate compliance.
My husband and I hired Tori in the middle of wedding planning, after we had our "big ticket" items booked. However, we both reached a point where we knew we were overwhelmed with planning a wedding on Maui living in Washington state. I grew up on Maui and have family/friends who helped us a lot, but none who are professional wedding planners that make you think about every little detail.
Tori was very gracious not working with her regular vendors and was very honest in her thoughts/recommendations for basically everything. We loved her honesty on our budget and she made fantastic suggestions to keep us within that. She is extremely organized and did well in creating an on-point timeline. She set realistic deadlines for us along the way, which decreased my stress a lot!
She is very direct in her communication style, which to my mother-in-law, was slightly disrespectful during our rehearsal. HOWEVER, all was well after seeing our Catholic and Persian ceremonies run smoothly, as well as seeing the décor beautifully setup (specifically the Sofreh Aghd). We also thought she was always respectful and professional. Her responses are timely and any time we felt we needed a phone conversation she was able to fit us in within 2-4 days of our request.
The day of, Tori made sure I didn't stress about anything and kept us on schedule despite me screwing up the start time for our Persian ceremony on our website. Everything looked amazing and she set up all of our personalized items exactly how we wanted. Tori is the planner for you if you want a respectful professional, who listens to what you truly want/need even if you may not know what that is at the moment.

I'm so thankful I found Tori and her team. I could NOT have planned my wedding without her basically holding my hand the entire way. Our destination wedding in Hawaii was a huge success once I realized I could not do it myself. After choosing our wedding venue we were stuck. Tori explained the contract to us so that we knew what we had to provide. After hiring her for her full service package, we easily planned rentals, flowers, decor, musicians, photographer, videographer, and all of the other tiny details that originally had been a challenge.
I interviewed A LOT of planners who all say they do this and that. Tori stood out from the beginning. I felt I could trust her. She didn't just say what she thought I wanted to hear, and she wanted to make my wedding about us and tell our story. Tori is kind, organized and extremely detail-oriented. I was so thankful that she thought of details I NEVER would have considered.
On my wedding day I didn't worry about a thing because I knew she had it handled. From ceremony to reception it was all I imagined and more. Her vendors executed her plan beautifully. If there were problems, I never knew about them. I promised to stay out of her way and let her handle everything. I enjoyed being pampered and being a bride. It has been a month since my wedding and everyone is still talking about how much fun and how beautiful it was.

Today is our 6 year wedding anniversary so it only feels fitting to reminisce and leave a review on our experience! Tori recommended the most amazing location for our wedding which I will never forget. It was the Sugarman Estate in Wailea. It was stunning. We live in Australia so it was incredibly risky and nerve racking to work with a planner in another country and somewhere we have never seen before. We had to put our full trust in Tori. At times it was stressful given the distance and time difference but as soon as we arrived in Maui a few days before the wedding we knew we made the right decision. As we were on a private estate we had to bring everything to the venue (from tables and chairs, to food, booze, decorations). Tori helped us organise the booze at the best supplier and came with us, she recommended all the right people for the various jobs and ensured everything came together seamlessly. On the day itself after the ceremony, I was told by a few guests that it had been raining a few minutes before I was due to walk down the aisle. I did not have a clue! Tori did a great job on hustling the guests under the marquee and back out again into the sunshine when the rain cleared up. She knew I would've been stressed if I saw the rain! Our day was perfect and I wish we could relive it all over again.

We found Tori on Pinterest and Instagram and LOVED her photos. Every wedding looked different and her photos represented a variety of ethnicities, which we really admired. I gave her a few ideas of what I wanted for our wedding design, and she had the BEST ideas. She really listened to us and tried to make the day about us. We spoke to some other planners who insisted on changing what WE wanted to what THEY wanted, and we had to use THEIR people. A great thing about Tori is she tried to get us discounts on everything and picked the people she thought would work well with our ideas and budget of $20,000 for 30 people. She does not take a commission or charge the 20% others seem to be charging. I really appreciated her honesty. We couldn't do everything we wanted because Hawaii is expensive, so Tori asked us for our 5 wedding deal-breakers to make sure we had the most important elements. Her full service package was definitely worth the $$$. We needed A LOT of guidance, and she thought of so many things we had not considered. Our wedding day would have been a disaster if we had done it ourselves. So grateful we found Tori!

Tori is truly amazing!!!
Tori made our wedding day the most amazing day ever. She was great about communication, and was available at the most insane hours. I think she is always working! I never had to worry about a single thing on our wedding day. Tori made every detail perfect- beyond my wildest imagination. Our family and friends are STILL talking about how she managed to make our day special even with the COVID rules. She had hand sanitizer for everyone and she even had a person hired to make sure everything was clean and according to the rules at the estate. The flowers were gorgeous. We had delayed our wedding because of COVID and were hesitant to have it in Hawaii because of the travel restrictions. BUT, it ALL worked out and we are so happy we went through with it. A special note...I did some research before the wedding and THOUGHT I had found the right people to hire. Tori gave me the pros and cons of each person we were considering, and we are SOOOO happy we went with her recommendations. Trust her because she KNOWS what she is doing. Thank you, Tori, for making our day the best ever!

Loved our wedding. Tori was impressive. She kept us within our budget while creating the vibe and look we wanted for our wedding day. She put my wife at ease, which put ME at ease. I always felt she was honest with us about the quality and costs of the people she hired for our wedding, and I truly appreciated that. Our guests are still raving about the day and all of the personal touches Tori encouraged us to include.

Marc and I have been engaged for 5 years and originally wanted to have our wedding at home in New York. It was getting too stressful with everyone wanting to be invited and involved, so we decided to do a smaller wedding in our favorite place of Hawaii. We were not sure which island would be best for us, but Tori helped us to figure that out in less than 5 minutes. She knows SO MUCH about all of the islands, its pros and cons, the different venues and vendors, the climate and activities, etc. that we only needed that 5 minutes with her to know we wanted her to plan our wedding. To freely speak with us and try to get to know us so she could help us before even hiring her???? It was a no brainer. Tori helped us through every step of planning when we hired her for her Total Package. She even gave us resources for some of the things we wanted to get on our own and bring with us, like kimonos for the bridesmaids, a personalized cake topper that coordinated with our theme, invitations, and more. Our wedding day was perfect. I KNOW there were things that happened and I never knew about them. Tori said we were on a NO NEED TO KNOW basis and to only know that everything is handled and perfect. I never ONCE worried or seemed stress, which seemed strange to my friends and family. I am usually a control freak about everything, but I felt totally calm and stress free knowing Tori had our backs and was taking care of everything for us. She worked so well with the hotel we booked for our wedding, including the rehearsal meet and greet and the day after brunch. Oh, and Tori helped us with those, too. We paid her extra but it was worth it!!! Not only is she incredibly detail-oriented, but my friends noticed she did extra things for the wedding to look even more beautiful. By the way, the vendors LOVE HER. They said she was one of their favorite coordinators to work with because she is organized and fun. She even dances a little when she is cleaning up! If you want an organized, detail-oriented. creative, personal, fun wedding planner? Then you need to hire Tori from Hawaii Weddings by Tori Rogers. You will not be disappointed!

I could never have pulled off my perfect wedding day without Tori’s assistance. Not only is she a tremendous wealth of information, but she really got to know us so she could offer ways to personalize our wedding. Our guests were so impressed by how attentive she was to every detail of the day. She mad sure the employees at the hotel and all of the vendors did everything they were supposed to do. I KNOW that there were mistakes made, but I never had to worry about a thing because I was confident that Tori had it handled. My friends told me that I was probably the calmest bride they have ever seen, and I told them that was because I had Tori. When I talked to my hair stylist about my experience with Tori, she said I was lucky to get her because she is the best and leaving the industry for a while. I was so fortunate to be one of her last weddings and I feel sorry for other brides who won’t get to work with her! If you can persuade her to plan your wedding, pay whatever you can to have her do it. She is worth every penny. She does not increase any prices or charge any percentages. She did not take commissions from the wedding professionals. Whenever she could get us a savings with our preferred vendor, she passed on whatever discount she could to save us money on our wedding. We were so happy with our wedding vendors and appreciated that they worked so hard to make our wedding perfect. We all had so much fun!!!

When you hire Tori Rogers to plan your wedding, you are hiring the REAL DEAL! Not only did she have an abundance of great ideas for our wedding, but she kept us on our toes with her very detailed wedding summaries. Tori is incredibly detail oriented and organized, which kept us assured that our wedding was in very capable hands. When my friends asked why I was so calm on my wedding day, I just said that Tori had my back and I knew she would take care of anything that came up, and she did! Tori and her team of incredible professionals worked together to make our wedding beyond perfect. Everything was BETTER than we expected. She took the few ideas I presented to her and made our entire vision come to life. It helped that SHE was not stressed on our day because that kept me calm. My friends told me they had wished she had been their wedding coordinator because she was THAT fantastic. Tori is not a YES person, and we appreciated her direct and honest approach that she describes on her website. We trusted her immediately. Her extensive knowledge of the island and the vendors impressed us from our initial conversation. I especially liked that I was not passed around to different people in her company and only planned with her the entire time. She never complained about the many emails I sent, or my phone calls and texts. I knew she was planning other weddings, too, but she always made me feel important and like a priority. I know she is only taking a few weddings next year because of her book, so if you are lucky enough to hire her, HIRE HER!!!

We're very happy with how our wedding turned out. My husband & I both work full time and have a baby, and we didn't have much time to devote to planning our destination wedding, so we really depended on Tori to make sure we were on track with all of the decisions that we needed to make along the way. She knew all the right questions to ask, gave advice and recommendations, and figured out all of the logistics of how & when everything would happen on the day of. She was very organized on our wedding day, and I felt like I was able to relax & enjoy the wedding with her in charge. We highly recommend her!

Tori assured us from the beginning that our wedding would be just as we imagined, and she definitely delivered! We had never been to Hawaii so we were doing all of our venue scouting and vendor ordering remotely. Tori recommended a flower supplier that gave us exactly the flowers we asked for. Our wedding was VERY focused on flowers (petals on the aisle, flowers on the back of each quest chair and on the chuppah, flowers on the cake table, etc.), so this was probably the most important part to get right and the flowers were stunning. Besides that, Tori got us the right chairs, farm tables for our guest welcome, cake, and water stations, and provided her own nice water dispensers for infused water. She also recommended the PERFECT officiant and ukulele player! On the day of the wedding, Tori was on site early with hired help to set everything up. It was ready promptly as guests arrived and Tori kept everything on time through a VERY TIGHT schedule at the venue. In the end, even though the day was over in a whirlwind, we thought we had the beautiful wedding of our dreams and can't wait to get our pictures. Many of our guests said they decided they will never see a more beautiful wedding. Thank you Tori!!

Tori was the best! I really liked her ideas and she was always very responsive. I live in Seattle and wanted to have a small destination wedding in Maui and she planned everything! She had lots of great ideas and I felt like I was in such good hands. She was a good listener and very organized. I also felt like she was understanding of our budget. She gave me a list of recommendations and reached out to all vendors. Our wedding was one to remember and it was largely due to Tori. I can't recommend her enough!

Tori Rogers is amazing in every way, she is truly an expert wedding coordinator. After answering just a few questions at our initial meeting she was able to capture the vision I had and start setting up all the right details to make our wedding day perfect. She followed up frequently and gave great advice on to make the big day go off without a hitch. During the wedding she was on top of every vendor and small detail and kept things flowing smoothly. Tori was worth every penny and then some. She put my mind at ease during the entire planning process and let me focus on enjoying the day for the actual event. I highly recommend Tori Rogers to anyone planning a wedding! She will help you, guide you, and most importantly of all make sure you enjoy the best day of your life. Thank you, Tori!

We are from California and had our wedding on Oahu at a resort and were not sure we would need a wedding planner since we were working with a hotel. We soon found out that we definitely needed some help. The hotel provided a list of wedding planners and Tori was on there. We interviewed them all and knew immediately we wanted Tori. At first it was because she only charged her flat fee and did not take commissions. However, we soon realized that her knowledge and expertise were invaluable to us. We initially hired her for her Day of Coordination package, thinking we could use the Internet to help us find the right wedding professionals for our wedding. That proved to be very overwhelming and stressful, and we learned that there are some dishonest people out there. So, we upgraded our package to her Total Package and are so glad we did!!! Not only was she available to answer all of our questions and provide the best vendors for our wedding day, but she also acted as our liaison with the hotel. She was at the hotel on the wedding day from beginning to end and made sure the set up was done the way we wanted it to be. I had a large bridal party and she handled all of our challenges and different personalities with her wonderful sense of humor. Everything was perfect on our wedding day and I am so grateful that I did not have to worry about a thing. I even got to eat!! Thank you, Tori, for making our wedding day the best ever! Our guests are STILL talking about how it was the best wedding they have ever attended.

Tori saved my wedding. I originally hired a different company because they were cheaper, but they turned out to be a disaster. My friend found Tori on line and thankfully she was available to help me plan my wedding. In Tori's initial responses, she had already been more helpful with my planning than the other company, and that was before I even signed a contract. She has so much knowledge and is completely up front about everything. Tori helped me plan my 100 person wedding from start to finish, and was especially helpful on the wedding day. Even the most organized wedding can have problems on the wedding day, and Tori calmly handled every situation with perfection. I loved how she got to know me and Leon personally so she could make amazing suggestions to personalize our wedding design. Her team and the other vendors really respect her and everyone worked together well. During the planning process, Tori provided a fully detailed summary so that we always knew what was going on for our wedding. She went above and beyond by providing little personal touches on the wedding day for us. Planning a wedding is stressful, but if Tori is your planner then you are in amazing hands. She is worth every penny and more! It was truly the best day ever!

After attempting to plan my wedding from Pennsylvania and becoming overwhelmed with finding the perfect vendors and venues, I knew I was going to need help. Once I spoke with Tori I knew that it was a good idea to hire someone who was so knowledgeable with wedding planning. We purchased Tori's "Help Me Finish My Wedding" package and I am so thankful that we did! Tori was able to lead me in the right direction with lists of referred vendors to help with decision making and finding quality service. She was always available to answer my questions and provide guidance during my planning process, and she even found small details that I overlooked to help me complete my wedding.
Tori's skills went beyond my expectations especially after seeing her in action during my wedding rehearsal! She kept everyone on track and on their toes so that things went smoothly and quickly.
Leading up to the wedding, it drove me crazy knowing that I wouldn't be able to help set up the reception and all the wedding decorations; however, I was blown away when I walked into the reception and saw every thing put together! Words cannot describe how thankful I am to have had Tori and her team's help during the day of my wedding!
If you are on the fence as to whether to hire a planner, I would recommend it a thousand times! It is totally worth having the extra help and to be able to know that all of your friends and family can have a great time and not be bothered with wedding details. And take my advice and hire Tori, she is the total package when it comes to wedding planning and is the most affordable on the island.
Thank for from the bottom of our hearts for everything!

Tori and her team were absolutely amazing at transferring my dream Wedding from Pintrest, and making it a reality. I am what some would call a control freak and a bit of a perfectionist, but with Tori I trusted her expertise, and she came through big time! Not only was it everything I hoped for and more, but she also had a few surprises in store for us, that made our day just that more special. You will want to work with Tori if you have high expectations, and like things to be a certain way. Tori is precise, on the ball, and keeps people on their toes. She is just the person you want by your side to make sure things run smoothly, and even if they didn't you would never know because she solves problems quicker than you could notice them. Our Wedding was spectacular, and an unforgettable night, it was everything we wanted!

I was married New Years Eve at Turtle Bay Resort and it was absolutely stunning. Tori and her team of wedding experts are quite simply a dream. You want peace of mind during one of the most important and stressful events in your life - call Tori. She has answers and solutions to practically anything. From venues to decor, to the best vendors and everything in between, she has it down pat. If you haven't considered putting money toward a planner, I can only say that Tori is a smart and economical choice. I would highly recommend paying for her service and I guarantee you will receive a beautiful, less stressed, memorable wedding. I was fortunate enough to not only have her plan my wedding, but also planned what turned out to be the most beautiful rehearsal dinner I could have ever of asked for. I have never felt so loved and blessed in my life, and without Tori my dream wedding would not have become a reality. Her connections in the field are priceless. But it's not just her business savvy that makes her such a wise investment. Tori is just a nice person. Tori picks up her phone or answers late night emails with helpful advice and ideas in a flash. Unfortunately I was unable to meet Tori before the week of the wedding since this was a destination wedding and I couldn't get to Hawaii before. At first it made me nervous,but by a couple months I had a good relationship with Tori and had so much trust in her. Tori is a people person and knows how to deal with most any personality and obstacle. When I got to Hawaii, I knew things were takin care of and I knew I could relax and enjoy my time with friends and family. I can't tell you how many times my family and friends commented on how relaxed I was, and I thank Tori for that. Tori and her team were always kind and courteous leading up to the day with the millions of requests we had. On the day of the wedding, I was amazed and speechless. Tori listened to me and learned my style to a T. Trust me that took work and dedication on her part, I guarantee I sent her 5 million emails and called her 1 million times always throwing ideas her way. I still wonder how she was able to decipher through all those ideas and requests. What she did took real talent and patience and she did a spectacular job giving me exactly everything I dreamed of and more. When I walked down the aisle and into my reception my eyes lit up and my heart was full, it was a feeling I will never forget. I couldn't believe the work her and her team had done. She also took care of things I never would have thought of and was so attentive the day of the wedding. I guarantee she put in 15+ hours that day, a holiday, and I never saw her without a smile on her face. I can also guarantee it was the an unforgettable Wedding and the best New Years Eve party ever. Everyone one of my guests were amazed. People are still calling me about how incredible it was and that my wedding was the prettiest wedding they had ever seen. I can't tell you how many people came up to me complimenting my coordinator and I have Tori to thank for that. My wedding was picture perfect and was more than I could have ever asked for.

Tori did a fantastic job preparing us for the wedding and orchestrating the wedding day. We only hired her for day-of coordination, but she put in a lot of work in advance going over our information, making sure we had everything we needed, and giving us advice on how to tie up all the loose ends. She was in the loop on all last-minute changes and had our back when some minor problems with the venue arose prior to the wedding. On the day of, she was always available and prepared to grab us a bite to eat/drink, hold on to valuable items, and deal with uncooperative family members and other distractions. Our relatively small wedding turned out just like we wanted in the end, and Tori was a big part of that. We'd highly recommend her.

She always replies back email and message fast and answered all my questions patiently. She has the passion on her work and is very professional.

I just wanted to take this time to express how well Hawaii Weddings by Tori Rogers did on my friends wedding for Sandy and Rick Spinks.
Tori and her crew did an outstanding job on creating such an experience for them. From the start of planning to the rehearsal, and finally the ceremony and reception, everything was smooth and flawless. Tori was on point! Making the bride and groom feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Tori I s a great person to talk to, and I could tell how passionate and full of energy she is on giving the best experience to the bride and groom that made it very memorable for their guests, but mostly for the bride and groom. I would recommend Tori to all the bride and grooms out there. Shes the best!
