Celebrations by Tori

ing 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!

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!

s 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.

f 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!

y 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!!!

ented 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!!!

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!

ier 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!!

od 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!

g 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!

nners 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.

, 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!

ought their vision to life and stayed in their budget. If you want the job done right, hire Tori.

/Wailea area is invaluable for a bride planning a destination wedding! Every guest raved about how amazing everything was & it was all Tori from coordinating the ceremony, to reception space decor, to finding the perfect cupcake shop. Could not have had a more perfect wedding and I could not have done it without Tori!

ast Coast, where we reside. Also, she has strong relationships with vendors and was very helpful in guiding us as to entertainment, flowers, etc. Tori really allowed us to enjoy the day without having to worry about any details. We truly got to enjoy the moment.

dgeable 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! Mahalo, Gray & Hilary

gh 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. 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.

d 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.

tiently. She has the passion on her work and is very professional. She contact all the vendors for me and organized everything just perfect according to my request. Without her, I can not have my dream wedding at Hawaii. I definitely recommend her to who want to have a perfect destination wedding in Hawaii.

we thought she was great professionally and personally. Would highly recommend Tori Rogers. We haven't forgotten you Tori!! We have a little something for you, it's been nuts since the summer! xo, Christa and Eileen

ng 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!
