Hawaii-Day Wedding & Events

Their thoughtful approach and genuine care made our experience stress- free and memorable. Big thanks for making our day so special! PS: CJ is also a great photographer!

e of our busy schedules and procrastination, my wife and I had put off our wedding planning until roughly 3 months before our scheduled wedding date (we had booked the venue + date already from pre-covid). As you can imagine, because of that, a lot of things had to be done within this short time frame. Luckily, CJ and his team was available to help us with the planning and coordinate. I had been originally interested in his team due to his multi-lingual team ( I believe he has team members that speak fluent Chinese, Korean and Japanese). CJ and Ismael, who were involved in the planning phase, first built an overall timeline of what the day looked like, an initial floor plan based on our venue, followed by a very organized list of vendors that needed to secured, and essential things that needed to get prioritized. They also had many great vendor recommendations based on our budget and our envisioned design. Throughout the planning phase, they were also very flexible and accommodating as we had changed our design ideas multiple times and were quite selective about a few of the vendors. CJ is very honest about certain design ideas and pros/cons for each vendor which was extremely helpful for us in choosing vendors + planning the design. Fast forward to the wedding day, Ismael, Chloe and Summer were extremely organized and did an amazing job making sure everything went smoothly. Ismael helped us smoothly incorporate some last-minute design ideas for our guest tables, helped coordinate with all of our vendors to make sure everything was there, and made sure the whole event ran on schedule. Chloe was extremely helpful in guiding my wife’s and her family (and communicated with them in Korean) throughout the photoshoots and wedding day. Summer was great in helping to get everything set up, welcoming our family + guests, and helping us with our guestsbook. At the beginning of 2023, the thought of the whole planning process had been a very stressful thought for us, but with the great help of the Hawaii-day wedding team, our wedding turned out to be unforgettable and a lot more fun and memorable than we had expected. They had also made our lives so much easier throughout the planning process. TL;DR: Hawaii-day wedding team was great and helped us plan everything from scratch in a very short time. Highly recommend them, especially for those with family members from China/Korea.

y recommended ALL our vendors (food, beauty, entertainment) and it all great. We truly had a dream wedding which would not have been possible without CJ, Sally, Ismael and Summer!

planning. He is very organized and knows a lot of the vendors in the area making wedding planning and organizing easier. Couldn’t of had such abs amazing flawless wedding without their help!

edule. CJ was very responsive, and his team provided very professional services. I can't thank him enough to help me plan a stress free wedding, and enjoy my time in Hawaii.

ensured that every detail of the event, from several days prior to our wedding event to meet and discuss final details, to the very end of the wedding night were all well coordinated. Having a professional planner was definitely a wise investment, as there are so many details to attend to for a special day that it takes much of the burden off the bride and groom for coordination and planning. Having a great planner like CJ to ensure all details and the event go smoothly, along with great photography and videography services that capture the event so beautifully like they did, I can say I wholeheartedly recommend him to ensure your day is only filled with wonderful memories for a lifetime!

o much more easier having one company plan and organizing everything. Thank you for making my wedding planning seamless all the way from Los Angeles, CA.

hout CJ and Emma, especially within less than 2-month timeline. For the planning phase, CJ and Emma made sure that we were on top of everything for the wedding, from following up timeline to booking the vendors, especially our wedding was destination wedding and planning phase was during my first uncomfortable trimester. They provided us vender and wedding place options with pro and cons and follow up multiple times before the deadline. Due to my body condition, my maid of honor Han was the main one involved in planning. CJ was very patient and thorough with everything and provided clear to-do list for each person to complete meanwhile keep everyone in the loop. On the day of the wedding, CJ team was on top of the timeline and made each session had enough time to celebrate as well as to take enough photos. Emma also went above and beyond to make sure everything went as smoothly as wedding could go-all the while smiling and easing my stress level. Our family was so enjoyed the day and we stayed over time at the dinner place. Both CJ and Emma stayed over till the end and helped us packing all the decors. We really appreciate their care and kindness. Another highlight of their services are vender choosing. The biggest concern of destination wedding is worrying vender quality. I have to say Emma has very good taste to choose venders, made our biggest day beautiful and elegant. I absolutely love my makeup artiest abbie, my ceremony place and dinner place. How many times have you been to a wedding and actually enjoyed the food and wine? In fact, most of our guests raved about this food and wines. Believe or not, CJ is not only a great wedding planner but also a professional photographer. I absolutely love our wedding photos and the highlight video. I got a lot of compliment on the photos and a lot of my friends mentioned how touchable the video was. Known I have an angel boy coming up, he even made us a nice electronic photo album as a gift to us with a lot of photo fine touches!! We can’t say enough thank you to all Hawaii-Day Wedding & Events for the effort you put into my flawless wedding. They are definitely the one who can provide you one-stop shop, all-inclusive and affordable, customized to fit your fancy and your budget. --Elvie and Su

dous rainstorm that ruined my original wedding location. CJ and Emma immediately informed me and help me think up Plan B. They were very efficient to find me a new place and coordinated all vendors the day after. My husband and I were very lucky to rehearse on time, and enjoyed our real wedding day on April 15, 2018. It's a wonderful and memorable experience in my whole life!❤️

talk with planing team face to face, which made us feel very worried. Durning preparing time ( about half year), we had couple phone calls with Hawaii-Day team. They provided us several wedding locations, budget and progress. They explained the difference between those plans very clearly, it made us easy to make a choice. We headed to Hawaii one weeks ago. That was first time we met with CJ; He is a super nice and professional gentlemen. Within 2 hours. He brought us to the wedding locations, chose the wedding dinner and explained the specific plans. Meanwhile, he companied with us to buy the Honolulu cookies as our wedding lucky treats lol On the wedding day, we just focused on ourselves and enjoy the whole day. Because the markup team, photography team and manage team already prepared everything to you. That is a perfect wedding. All our requirement and expected, HAWAII-DAY team helped us realized. We very appreciate what they bring to us. Meanwhile, we got the baby now, we decide to bring the baby back to Hawaii and get the family photoshoot by Hawaii- Day team again. The good wedding planner is super important for us, because their professional and passion; you can save the time and energy. Your big day will become such memorable! Hawaii-day Wedding & Event it is!

most under-rated vendor for wedding planning/coordination services. CJ was very accessible and always keen to offer his help even at the very early stage of my vendor searching process. We scheduled a phone call for discussing services his team can offer but it turned out we received much more information than what we expected, including suggestions on how to negotiate with our hotel venue, what we might miss during wedding planning and how the planning time table should look like - this is indeed much more than a day-off coordinator should offer. We soon made a decision on hiring his team as our day-off coordinator. During the course of early wedding preperation like vendor searching, hotel venue planning, venue design, and etc. CJ was always very helpful and tried to provide all his honest opinions whenever we needed any advices. We are just like all other couples during this difficult time when Coronavirus disrupted everyone's wedding planning. CJ was the first and the only one vendor who reached out to us and reminded us to contact all other vendors about the potential changes in our wedding plan. This absolutely shows his sense of responsibility and enthusiastic to offer his help to clients. Although we arrived at the difficult decision to cancel our wedding, I'd still like to give CJ and his team a 5/5 rating!

ut a thing on my special day. Later when I found out there were a few setting up hiccups, I didn’t even notice it the day of because CJ remained diligent and efficient throughout the day without putting any worries in my mind. He was also available through texts whenever I had any concerns. I HIGHLY recommend him and his team. CJ & Emma were amazing!

needs. Thanks to them that we got everything we wanted in our wedding video, which is a precious lifetime memory to us and our entire family.

and decided to choose Hawaii-day wedding. It's a smart choice. We had the wedding ceremony @ Akala Chapel, which is a pure white and beautiful one! And the dinner reception @Helakulani, which is a five-star hotel. They helped us with each detail and planned it so well!!!! My husband and I, my whole family and all the guests said this wedding is so successful and gorgeous. It is not deniable wedding is costly, but they understood our budget and helped us on deciding the decoration. Thank you so much!!!

meet CJ and his team member Emma on August 2017, after we talked to him through WeChat. They showed us few venues and explained the different packages they were offering. After we came back home and decided to go with one of chapel package. The wedding day, CJ brought along with his crew members with him. The Whole team are professional, enthusiastic and so easy to work with. I am so glad that we chose him as our wedding planner.

ok so beautiful! It was nice enjoying the day without having to worry about anything. The ceremony and reception just looked amazing! I would highly recommend any of their services to anyone needing a bit of help or a lot of help with their wedding (or event)

n showed to my fiance and I that we had found our fit! CJ, Emma, Michael and Brad (with their whole team behind the scenes) made our day better than we could have imagined or planned for. We had never been to the our wedding location and neither had they. Needless to say, they know exactly what they are doing and willing to accommodate whatever wishes we had. Honestly, we can't thank them enough for making our day so wonderful! Book them A.S.A.P!

ated with us reliably, making sure that we were always in the loop, knowing everything we needed to know and on time. Unfortunately, Janelle wasn't able to be present with us on the actual wedding day, but CJ and the rest of the team were very helpful and made the event fun from start to finish! I didn't need to concern myself with anything, and we were able to perform a beautiful wedding on the scenic Waimanalo Bay Beach without any issues at all. We've just received the ceremony and highlights videos, and they are very high quality and beautifully done and capture all the best moments! Last, but not least, for such a complete package (photos, videos, ceremony, decorations, hair/makeup, etc) and excellent, personal service, the price was way below the competition. Other wedding planners we considered in Hawaii had to stretch themselves quite a bit to even come close to what Hawaii-Day was offering from the outset. Definitely recommend if you're looking to have a wedding in Hawaii, on Oahu!

s so friendly and helpful. Emma provided me tons of great suggestions about wedding planning. She helped me take care of all sorts of communications with different vendors. My wedding turned out SO beautiful! I got my videos and original photos in less than 2 weeks. I just got the edited photos. They are gorgeous. I highly recommend CJ’s team!!

Having never been to Hawaii , we wanted to work with someone who’s very knowledge about local culture and different venues, who’s prompt in answering our questions and who can strike good deals on our behalf. CJ offers very comprehensive packages with a variety of options and we were very satisfied to be able to find something we like. My wife also had a great experience working with Emma who was there every step of the way to answer all her questions regarding decorating the venue and other logistics for the day of the wedding to ensure everything was arranged the way she wanted. During the actual wedding day, we were even more impressed with Cj and his photo/filming crew’s professionalism and everything went beyond our expectations! In fact, we were so happy with how our wedding planned out that we decided to work with CJ again for our 1-year anniversary photo shoot in Hawaii again! Overall, If you are looking for someone who’s professional, communicative, and flexible in personalizing a wedding plan that suits your need, CJ and his team are highly recommended!

ped me pick a perfect venue for my small wedding. His team also took care of everything including photographer, videographer, florists, venue decoration, make-up designer and DJ. The all-inclusive package his team provided is a great relief for me since I only had 5 months to plan my wedding. And I must say that the photographer and videographer in his team are the BEST!!! They took fantastic pictures and video! On the wedding day, he is a great coordinator even though he was a little bit under the weather. He made sure that everything is on schedule and kept my guests entertained. Anyway, CJ is a very reliable wedding planner and full of surprises! I would highly recommend him if you're planning your big day in Hawaii!!

makeup assistant and weather forecaster hah! He is the man! Although my hotel has their own coordinator, I strongly recommend CJ as he is a person you can trust and rely on. With him I wasn't nervous at all on my big day. The big plus: his photography style isn't the usual one you will find around. His is very scenic and colorful, even in cloudy days! A must go for blue sky/ocean seeking brides!
