Hiring Sun was the best decision we made for our wedding. She was our top choice for a wedding planner, and after just one brief phone call with her, we knew we HAD to work with her.
Being based in New Jersey while planning a destination wedding in Hawaii could have easily been stressful, but Sun kept us calm, on track, and ensured nothing was ever overlooked. It also helps that she has impeccable taste.
She took the time to understand our vision and learn what mattered most to us. She made it her mission to bring our love story to life in a way that was not only beautiful and magical but most importantly, a perfect reflection of who we are as a couple.
Sun knew how important it was to my now husband and I (whose family is from there) to incorporate Hawaiian traditions in an authentic and meaningful way and this was evident in every thoughtful detail. She also brought together an incredible team of vendors who matched her level of passion and expertise, making the day flow seamlessly.
On our wedding day, every detail was executed flawlessly—it felt elevated, beautiful, and surpassed our wildest dreams.
Our guests are still raving that it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended (and probably ever will!). Several guests have even said we've "ruined weddings" for them because "this wedding will be hard to beat!"
We’re already dreaming about planning a vow renewal in the future just so we can work with Sun again! If you’re looking for a wedding planner who will exceed your expectations and create a truly special and personalized celebration, we cannot recommend Sun and her team enough.

We can't imagine how we could have pulled off our wedding without Sun. After booking my venue and vendors, we had no idea what to do next and reached out to Sun. She helped me to put together the pieces that I didn't even know existed, and helped everything run so smoothly on the wedding day. We had a few things happen that day that could have caused a lot of stress the day of the wedding, but Sun took care of everything to make sure that it ran smoothly and all we had to do was enjoy being with each other and our friends!

It was an honor having Sun Kim and her team plan our wedding. Sun was responsive and flexible. She's one text away and willingly answered all our random questions, considering we are in different time zones. Sun helped execute our vision and recommended amazing vendors we otherwise wouldn't have found our own. Our wedding day went smoothly. We felt so relaxed and had so much fun! Thank you again to Sun and her team.

Wow, I still can't believe it's been 2 weeks since our wedding in Oahu. Planning a wedding in Hawaii was a dream come true, and Sun made it all possible. Her expertise and dedication turned what could have been a stressful process into a seamless and enjoyable experience. With the uncertainties of destination weddings—weather, traffic, unfamiliar local vendors—Sun was our gatekeeper, solving all the puzzles with her experience.
On the wedding morning, I felt overwhelmed, but Sun was my rock. Her calm presence gave me immense relief and confidence that everything would be perfect. Every detail, from the stunning floral arrangements and elegant makeup look to the experienced camera teams and delicious catering, contributed to making our day magical. We were so impressed by Sun's ability to coordinate everything flawlessly.
If you’re planning a wedding in Hawaii, I highly recommend Sun. Her passion and talent for creating beautiful weddings are unmatched. Thank you, Sun, for making our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be!

We are excited to write this review for Sun and her team. When my wife and I started the planning process to get married, we were super overwhelmed with the whole planning process, didn't know where to start, and really wanted to include our dog to be part of our wedding as she is part of our family. We decided to hire a wedding coordinator and we got referred to Sun from my friend who had a bad experience with a coordinator before he hired Sun who came in clutch for him. We hired Sun, selected her full wedding planning service, and she made sure that we will have an amazing wedding and to be able to enjoy it with our dog. This was one of the best decisions we did as part of our wedding planning. We do have to admit, it did take us time to ramp up with all the planning once we hired Sun, but Sun and her team was very patient knowing our wedding date and did not rush us or force us to make decisions. However, once we found our rhythm, the process was fun and we couldn't believe we selected all of our vendors well in advance of our wedding date. Each vendor Sun provided us, matched our what we envisioned for our wedding, worked with our budget, were very professional, they were caring, made sure my wife and I were not stress, and assured us our wedding was going to be perfect. What also made the planning process easy, was that Sun and her team contacted the vendors to reach out to us or share our decisions. The day of the wedding, my wife and I were blown away how amazing everything looked and felt. My friend who referred Sun to us, did mention Sun is known to be the best from what he heard and through his research the day of wedding. He was absolutely correct. Sun took care of the setup, dealing with the vendors, the clean up, and many other things. All we had to do was just enjoy the day and that was exactly what we did. As busy as we were that whole entire week leading up to the wedding day and the wedding day, my wife and I called it a success where we did not feel exhausted or stress after the wedding day, everyone had a great time, and we miss planning with Sun as we had a lot of fun.
Big thank you to Sun and her team!

We booked Sun as our day-of coordinator for our destination wedding in O’ahu. From the initial consultation to the day of the wedding — Sun was friendly and easy to talk to. Since I planned our wedding and had the vision of how I wanted the wedding to be, I provided Sun with all the details and she was able to execute everything to the T on our big day. Our wedding was so beautiful and all our guests complimented us about it all day and weeks to come after—thanks to Sun for listening and following through with all the details!! So even if you are planning your own wedding, trust me when I say you need to hire a professional to coordinate everything on your big day. Your wedding day should be a time where you and your bridesmaid/MOH/family member relaxes and enjoy the day. Thank you Sun we appreciate you and will remember this day forever!

Sun and her team are patient, kind, and professional. We had a broad idea of what we wanted as our wedding theme and she was able to use her years of experience to create a plan of execution. From centerpieces to chair selection, everything Sun recommended us do to make our vision real turned out beautifully. Both guests and vendors complimented how amazing our ceremony and reception turned out! I would recommend Sun to anyone that is getting married. She made both the planning and the actual wedding day a lot less stressful than it could have been if we did not have her and her team to guide us to success.

From start to finish, our destination wedding in Hawaii was an absolute dream thanks to our incredible wedding planner Sun.

The wedding was everything I envisioned and more ! I originally picked Sun as my planner because she was the first one to reply my inquiry email (3 hours after I sent I think!) and I am someone who values prompt responses. Nothing is worse than getting “ghosted “ by your planner during the planning process. Sun definitely did not disappoint, she’s always communicative, she tries to make every meeting/call with the vendors. And on the day of the wedding, her whole team was professional and organized, making sure everything went smoothly and timely. Would definitely recommend to any bride to be.

I can't imagine our wedding day without Sun. She helped make the wedding process so seamless and on the day of the wedding, she was on point. She is very well organized and executes every detail perfectly. I was blown away when we entered our reception. She and her team worked tirelessly behind the scene so that we didn't have to worry about anything on an already busy day. Sun also has a great relationship with a lot of different vendors and we were very happy with all of them. Would highly recommend going with Sun and I Do Wedding.

Planning a destination thousands of miles away is challenging and stressful, and we truly would not have been able to do it without Sun and her team. Sun is extremely organized and easy to work with, she kept us organized and on track through the entire planning process and took care of every big & small details on the day of. She was also able to introduce us to every vendor, and they were all equally amazing. Would highly recommend Sun and her team!

My husband and I had the best destination wedding we could have ever dreamed of thanks to Sun and the I Do team! We were worried how we were going to do it all from abroad, so we are so glad we had Sun to help us figure out all of the details for the last year and a half! She checked in with us frequently to make sure we were on schedule for all of our deadlines and was very quick to respond whenever we had a question. She even helped us out with some of our more unique asks without hesitation. As people who were not as familiar with the wedding planning process, Sun was very patient with us in explaining the options and a timeline for us. We HIGHLY recommend Sun and the team as wedding coordinators.

My husband and I had the BEST day of our lives because of Sun and the I Do weddings team. Our wedding day wouldn’t have been anything without them. From the very beginning, Sun has been keen to listening to Tommy and I’s priorities during the wedding planning process. Once we discussed the overall theme we wanted for the wedding, she lined up the perfect team of vendors that would match what we wanted. She was also open minded to us using vendors that we preferred or chose based on recommendation of others! I appreciated the constant communication throughout the planning process and also loved that I could literally text her about any wedding questions, at any time, and not feel like I was asking silly questions. She was professional, made us feel heard, and planned an amazing wedding. During the wedding, every team member was so sweet to me, ensuring that I was fed and feeling good. After the ceremony, one of the team members even grabbed my husband and I a chair while we waited for the grand entrance to begin. Literally so sweet. Stress-free and enjoyable weddings are their specialty! I am forever grateful for them all! Thank you Sun!

Sun was an amazing wedding planner/coordinator. She made my wedding ideas come to life and it was better than I could have ever imagined. We had her for full planning and I could not have done it without her throughout the entire planning process. The vendors she suggested were all amazing and she was so helpful in getting them all confirmed for our day. I was completely stress-free on my wedding day, even family and friends commented how relaxed I was, all thanks to the planning of Sun and her team. I cannot thank Sun and the I Do team enough for everything they did to make my wedding day so amazing! I would highly recommend hiring her for your planning needs!

Sun is the BEST wedding planner! We had 6 months to plan a destination wedding in Honolulu and Sun lent her expertise and guidance in the most helpful way. She gave suggestions when we had no clue what to do and she also has preferred vendors you can select from that offer discounts. Sun made our vision a reality - from the welcome coconuts, pineapple cups, shave ice stand, and even picking up Leonards malasadas! Sun was so incredibly helpful with coordinating with everyone on the day of the wedding, especially when it rained and we had to wait it out and move certain vendors under our tent. Thank you so much Sun and your team for making our wedding the best our guests have attended!! You need your wedding to revolve around (the) Sun ;)

I can’t recommend Sun and her team enough. After 6 months of struggling to plan our wedding alone, our friends and family made us look for a planner on the islands. I reached out to a friend who worked in event planning in Hawaii and she connected me with Sun, describing her as the “best” planner on the island. Some things that really made a difference having Sun help us:
1. Sun got “Yes”s from the venue and vendors when we previously got “No”s;
2. Sun added terms to vendor contracts we definitely needed, but never would have thought to add;
3. Sun gives you little homework assignments alone the way (like choosing a photographer), but gives you a list of vendors she likes and specifically highlights vendors that she thinks align best with your aesthetic;
4. The day of the wedding and few weeks leading up to the wedding were a breeze because she’s got everything covered and you can just relax and enjoy; and
5. She embraced our unconventional vision (morning wedding followed by a sunset afterglow on the beach) and worked with all the vendors/venue to bring it to life.
Such a beautiful wedding I will never forget.

Dear Sun,
We wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for all that you did to make our wedding day at Lanikūhunoa on August 19th, 2022, so incredibly special. We could not have asked for a more perfect day, and we owe so much of that to your hard work, dedication, and attention to detail.
From the moment we first spoke with you, we knew we were in good hands. Your knowledge of the venue and the island, as well as your vast experience in wedding planning, made us feel confident and reassured. Your suggestions for vendors, such as the florist, the caterer, and the photographer, were all spot-on, and we were thrilled with their work.
On the day of the wedding, everything went smoothly, and we were able to relax and enjoy every moment, thanks to your expert coordination. You ensured that every detail, from the ceremony setup to the reception decor, was perfect. We appreciated your professionalism, your calm demeanor, and your ability to handle any unexpected issues that arose.
We have received countless compliments from our guests about how beautiful and seamless the wedding was, and we owe so much of that to you. You went above and beyond to make sure our day was everything we wanted it to be, and for that, we are forever grateful.
We would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a wedding planner, and we feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day at Lanikūhunoa so unforgettable.

Sun Kim is a fantastic wedding planner! She is knowledgeable, organized, and helpful in creating your dream wedding. On the day of our wedding and the months leading up to it, she was all over every last detail, making sure everything went perfectly for our special day. Especially since we were a couple from Canada it was super helpful to have Sun organize our vendors, coordinate with everyone, and help deliver our vision without us being there before our actual wedding. We got married at Kualoa Ranch, and it turned out to be the wedding of our dreams. Strongly recommend Sun Kim as a wedding planner and her team to make your wedding a magical one!

My husband & I are from Toronto, Canada. Sun and her team brought our Oahu wedding dreams to life! She was so communicative, responsive, resourceful, and supportive. Always kept us posted with updates and kept us on schedule. Answered our questions in a timely manner. Had recommendations for vendors that worked within our budget - and they were all stellar. She printed our Welcome sign and seating charts. I was able to ship decor items to her office. She picked up our dessert pies on the day of!
On the day of - Sun and her team followed the schedule to a T! This was so important to us as we didn't want to run behind late. Everything was taken care of at the end of the night. Super calm and professional - I would entrust our wedding to the I Do team all over again. Thank you Sun, it was such a pleasure working with you. We had a BLAST!

What can I say about Sun Kim…. Holy Moly
She is awesome.
We planned a Luau Rehearsal Dinner for our sons wedding and she hit it out of the park!
Our Luau event was spectacular. Her attention to detail, coordination, communication, creativity, you name it.
She did it all and all we needed to do is show up!
We can’t thank her enough.
If anyone is having a wedding, rehearsal dinner, luau, you name it….she made our experience wonderful and we will never forget it. Thank you for making our special time with our friends and family an event that will be talked about forever!

Sun took our pinterest board and turned it into the best night of our lives! She made the planning process so easy, walking us through everything we had to do and what she needed from us. All the vendors she recommended (DJ, caterer, flowers, rentals) were perfect. There was no stress on the wedding day, even when we ran out of some alcohol (oops) and she went across the street to pick up more. Sun and the I DO team were incredible, cannot thank them enough for helping organize day.

Thank you Sun!! As a destination wedding couple, we knew we needed a planner, but we were unsure of who best to go with when looking for wedding planners. We also knew we wouldn’t be able to come visit ahead of the wedding, and so we wanted to feel like we were in the right hands. After our first call with Sun Kim, we felt at ease, and excited. We are so thankful we took a chance on Sun!!
Sun guided us through the nuances of executing a destination wedding. She asked us many, many questions (even questions we didn’t always have answers for), and also gave it to us straight when needed. There were multiple things we changed our minds on throughout the process, and she had the patience to see us through.
On the day of, Sun and the team went above and beyond. We trusted her with catering decisions, and many other tactical decisions in bringing the day together, especially since we wouldn’t be able to taste food or look at anything ahead of time. The food was amazing, the decor was surreal and executed according to our vision, and we didn’t have to worry about any of the day-of coordination.
Additionally, some of our elderly family got accidentally dropped off a bit far from the venue, and to make sure our timeline wasn’t shifted, Sun went and picked them up. This also saved them a long walk.
We would highly recommend Sun and her team. Thank you so much for helping us have a beautiful wedding day!

Sun and her team did an amazing job. I was so nervous not being able to see anything until the day of but everything turned out better than I could have ever imagined. During the process I just told Sun my very vague vision of the wedding i wanted and she magically got it done. She communicated so well and was so quick to respond to any questions. There was a small mix up in times for the rehearsal but before I could even panic she solved it with the venue and and communicated with me the whole time. On the day of our wedding the musician was a no show, and before she even let me know there was a small issue she already had the songs on her phone and a sound system ready to take his place. I didn’t even have time to stress because she solved any and all problems before she even told me about it, which i am so thankful for. She was so prepared. For our reception i told her i wanted a boat to party on and we wanted to swim! I didn’t give her much to even work with in terms of what i wanted, and again she magically got us the most perfect boat with an amazing crew. I also changed location for getting ready the day before the wedding and she called all of our people and sorted it all out for me. If you want a stress free, beautiful wedding, i would go with i do weddings. Our day wouldn’t have been as beautiful and magical as it was without the help of Sun. 100% recommend! We are so thankful for all that she did for us.

Wedding planning through a pandemic was such a pain and I think many couples have been through it or can understand what it's like. After our first postponement, we decided to just do a destination (not a fan of Canadian winters) wedding and hire a planner to help alleviate the stress. I honestly don't know how we could've done it without Sun and her team's help.
Sun was so understanding and listened to my countless meltdowns throughout the process. She understood me and gave good, realistic advice. She saved our relationship from many wedding related arguments. Plus she literally saved the day on multiple occasions. When our orders for wedding signage and various other small things didn't come on time, or simply forgotten, they made it work and pulled out some last minute magic. Not only did she help with recommendations for wedding vendors, she also gave us recommendations on restaurants and accommodations. I feel like all I had to do on the wedding day was show up and enjoy our day.
Thank you Sun and team for all your hard work, we will forever be grateful!

If you are searching for a wedding planner who will make all of your wedding dreams come true, then look no further. We got engaged in peak covid and like many others, our wedding was off again on again for a couple of years. Sun was there for us the entire time, a constant source of positivity. When we finally got the green light to go ahead and plan our wedding, Sun entirely exceeded our expectations. Sun went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day was everything we could have dreamed of, and it was. It was the most incredible day of our lives. Sun has a "can do" attitude and a very bright and bubbly personality, we giggled the whole time. She told me very early on that "i didn't need to stress" because "it was her job and her passion" to ensure everything ran smoothly. Sun organized the BEST photographer, caterers, vendors, florist, DJ, venue, accommodation and bar service. Her staff were divine, kind, loving and added to the magical energy of the day. She helped us organize pre and post events as well, which she didn't have to do. She became my friend, she was never not there for me and because of Sun, we have just had the most amazing wedding we ever could have imagined.
Sun is a godsend, and loved by everyone involved in the wedding planning industry in Hawaii.
She understood me and the type of wedding we wanted to throw and she literally brought it to life piece by piece.
I could not recommend Sun's services highly enough.
Thank you Sun, for everything, You are one in a million.

Sun Kim is wonderful to work with. Early in the planning process for our destination wedding, we knew we needed some help getting the details right on the wedding day. Even though I was determined to do the bulk of the planning on my own from DC, we wanted to be sure that our friends and family didn't have to take on anything on the day and we could relax without having to worry about schedules, vendors, set up or take down. From our first call, she carefully laid out exactly what month of coordination services we could expect from her. We were put at ease knowing we were in good hands. From 30 days out, we worked together to set up a timeline/ day of schedule, reception program, turned over all of our vendor contacts (a huge relief to me), and managed details like the guest list, seating chart, bridal party contact info, and more. She ran our rehearsal with care and made sure we were completely confident for the next day. On the day of, she was available for everything I needed and handled all of the details, right down to making sure our malasada cake was plated exactly the way I wanted it. I really appreciated how available she was for communication, even though I seemed to be calling her from a different bridesmaid's phone all day! The ceremony and reception program went exactly as planned and on schedule. There were absolutely no hiccups or mistakes on the day. We are so grateful for her professionalism and attention to detail. The entire wedding was executed to perfection. Thank you Sun Kim and Team for making our wedding so special and stress free!

Sun and her team helped us plan our wedding for nine months, and also were there on the day of our wedding. We were not living in Hawaii at the time, so it was essential for us to have a wedding planner that was located on the island of Oahu, which is where we got married. Sun had many wonderful recommendations in terms of venues, vendors, decor, and budgeting. On the day of the wedding, we showed up at the venue and were so pleasantly surprised at how the venue was set up and how the decorations were displayed! All she had was my Pinterest board for decor inspiration, and she made our wedding dreams come true. It went above and beyond our expectations. She also was able to alleviate all the stress points that a wedding can potentially present, and we were able to enjoy ourselves and visit with our guests, which was one of our biggest desires for our special day. With her headset, her wedding emergency tools strapped to her waist, and her operational efficiency, she definitely reminded us of Wedding Planner J-Lo :)
We would highly recommend hiring Sun and her team for all your wedding planning needs!!
Thank you so much Sun, Sunny, and the rest of the I Do Wedding team! We are so happy with how our wedding turned out and we hope to see you all at the weddings we attend in the future :)

Sun was amazing to work with! Being the most indecisive person that I am, I knew We needed someone to help us plan our dream wedding. And Sun Kim did just that. She gave great recommendations and gave her professional input on things I was unsure of. From start to finish, we had no stress. We can’t believe how beautiful and seamless everything turned out. She’s the best at what she does. I mean it!

We had an absolutely wonderful time working with I Do Weddings! Sun and her team were excellent! They always listened to our input and were quick and responsive when we had questions. We came into the wedding planning process without much of a plan. We had some ideas on what we wanted, but when we felt lost they were able to guide us to the right vendors that fit our overall vision perfectly. I think the biggest praise I can give them is that they made planning a wedding feel so easy. We never felt overwhelmed with decisions and Sun always had us on schedule for when to look at certain vendors and when to have details finalized. We never felt like we were in the dark, and it always felt like Sun and her team were focused on our wedding and getting everything right. We went to Hawaii once to meet with Sun and pick out a venue. Everything else was done via phone calls, texts, and emails. The next time we were in Hawaii was for our wedding, and everything at the venue looked amazing! The ceremony area, the reception, the food, the decorations, the flowers, everything looked exactly how we wanted it! We were able to enjoy our wedding without having to worry about any logistics. Everything was taken care of and the whole event went perfectly!

As Mother of the Groom, my son and daughter in law got married in Oahu at the Kualoa Ranch. Sun and team were such an important part of planning their destination wedding. They coordinated everything from the floral arrangements, food, signage, tents/tables, vendors and of course the timing of all activities. I commend Sun's attention to detail and her calm persona!
I also wanted to share something that happened 8 minutes before the wedding ceremony. There was an unexpected twist as my Mother, Aunts and Uncle arrived in a taxi at the bottom of the hill vs directly to the gardens. Sun got in her car and drove down to the bottom of the hill and retrieved them. She helped alleviate stress on both ends by picking them up. I am grateful for her grace in that scenario. I am a raving fan! MS

Sun and her team did a phenomenal job coordinating our wedding! I promise you, there isn't a better coordinator out there! They were so professional and so easy to work with.
I was a hands-on bride and controlled much of the details and decor; I discussed this with Sun and she was so receptive, accommodating, and gave really important suggestions about everything. She wasn't controlling one bit and was very helpful. I handed over all the materials for the wedding one week before the wedding, asked her to pick up the leis on the morning of our wedding, and even purchased bentos for the wedding party while we waited for the reception to start. She did this so willingly and it made all the difference to me!
When I spoke to her a month before the wedding, she told me she she wanted to take everything off my plate and I was so happy and relieved to hear it and she did! She was so detailed-oriented and very experienced, my reception was so beautiful - it was more than I could've imagined thanks for her and her team! Everything was perfect, she coordinated with all the vendors and executed everything on our timeline effortlessly. She brought the necessary helpers to set up everything and they were all sensational - this was essential because I had really a lot of intricate materials and decor and she did this without me asking!
Her assistant, Sunny, did a fantastic job with the ceremony - she coordinated the event so professionally and worked really well with the church coordinator. She was extraordinary!
I have no negative feedback. Sun and her team are unbelievable and we are so happy we chose her as our wedding coordinator. She is the very best out there!

Sun was AMAZING. I live in Canada and so planning a destination wedding on Oahu seemed like a daunting task but Sun made it easy every step of the way. She knew my vision and helped me to select the right vendors to make it a reality. Sun guided me through every step of the wedding process to make sure there were no loose ends and I could just relax when the day arrived. And boy did it exceed my expectations!! Everything was PERFECT start to finish. The day went by seamlessly thanks to Sun and her team. From the decor to the music to the food - people were raving that it was the best wedding they had ever been to! Thank you so much to the Sun and the I DO team for making all my wedding dreams come true!

From day one, Sun was excellent! She asked what our budget was and what our dream wedding looked like and did her best to make it happen. The vendors that she recommended were all wonderful and made my wedding day perfect. She went with me for meetings with vendors and made sure all paperwork was handled. On the day of the wedding, my phone was almost silent because she handled all of the set up and tear down. She kept everything on schedule and it was the least stressful event I could have hoped for. She’s worth her weight in gold!

Sun Kim and her team were amazing from start to finish! She is organized, professional, kind, and knowledgeable about all things weddings! Sun was able to see my "vision" for our perfect wedding from day one, she would say "Don't worry, I know your style, I know what you will like", and she was 100% right! Our wedding looked stunningly beautiful, her team did such a great job, and she was right, she did know exactly what my style was! Trust her vendor recommendations! Everything from our florist to DJ, to rentals were absolutely perfect and they were all based off her recommendations! Sun is well connected and well respected in the wedding industry, working with I DO was beneficial to be able to have access to their network of vendors. I can't recommend Sun Kim and her team enough, if you're looking for a stress free and fun wedding planning experience, look no further then I DO weddings!!

Sun was like my fairy godmother wedding planner. I don't know what I would have done without her. Being a bride can be a challenge...being a bride during COVID-19 is a whole different story. I reached out to Sun over a year before my wedding knowing that I needed help as it was a destination wedding. From day one (1), Sun was super responsive and was on it! From multiple COVID restriction/requirement changes on Oahu to a venue change, Sun coordinated everything with all of the vendors and always kept my husband and I updated. If there was an obstacle, Sun was there and ready. She somehow managed to keep me calm throughout the entire process and that is hard for someone who likes to know every single detail. Our wedding day was an absolute dream. I told her what I wanted - the theme, the colors, the vision and she made everything come true. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding and feel so fortunate to have been able to work with Sun. If you have the chance to work with Sun for your wedding, consider yourself lucky! You are in amazing hands - absolutely no regrets and we now have memories to share for the rest of our lives because of her.

Highly recommended! I didn’t think I needed a wedding planner until I started wedding planning haha I was overwhelmed right away! Took the advice from one of my close friends who had a planner and decided to get one myself! Best decision ever and best decision working with Sun and her team.
Everything turned out amazingly perfect and we all had a great time! I didn’t stress throughout and the total experience was fun!
Brides, grooms! Please do you yourself a favor and work with Sun with your wedding! You won’t regret it!

Just getting home from Hawaii from our wedding and finally have some downtime to write this well deserved review for the I do team! Sun and her assistants did an unbelievable job at our wedding & working with them throughout has been stress free and easy. I really didn’t have to worry about anything. My friends were the ones that worried me because they thought I was too relaxed with everything lol but that was all due to Sun and her help. I knew everything was under control.
We had the best time at our wedding and I can’t express how thankful we are! Highly recommend this best wedding coordinator in Hawaii! Please don’t hesitate!
Thanks Sun!

Sun Kim & her team was soooooo helpful!!! She was easy to work with and very organized. Before we started working together, I tried to do the planning myself but quickly got overwhelmed and stressed. Reached out to I DO weddings and after our initial consultation, I felt instantly relieved!
I throughly enjoyed working with Sun Kim & her team. Our wedding exceeded all my expectations & we all had such a good time!!!
I would recommend I Do weddings 1000%!!!!

Everyone, I cannot begin to tell you how great Sun is. We hired her to be our day-of-coordinator, and after we started working with her all we could say was “we should have had Sun since the beginning.” If there was a hiccup or adjustment Sun was on top of it. Would 100% recommend.

Where do I begin... I hired Sun because I knew with the uncertainty of Covid and and the likelihood of having to make changes to our plans, having a dedicated professional in your corner is just what we needed. We made the decision to move our reception venue 3 months prior to the date to allow for more relaxed covid restrictions. Because of that, we delayed our invitations on being sent and basically planned 85% of the wedding with 8 weeks remaining. Sun kept us on track, was a great liaison with the hotel event coordinator, and ensured that even though we were short on time everything would be done, and done well! She was a great listener, understood our vision and was able to execute it all to perfection. She created a well orchestrated event with all of our vendors and I couldn't be more thrilled to recommend her to all other future brides in Hawaii.

I unfortunately was a Covid bride and had to postpone my wedding a year. I also had to switch venues last minute, which caused even more stress. Luckily, I had Sun Kim on my side. We originally decided for her to be a day of coordinator, but when the pandemic hit she not only took the role as a full time wedding planner, but also as a good friend and someone that I could talk to about my frustrations. She listened to my complaints on countless occasions and gave the best possible advice. Her guidance and expertise on wedding planning are unmatched, making her a preferred vendor. Definitely makes sense and well deserved! I will miss talking with her all the time because she truly became a friend of mine. I 1000% recommend Sun Kim and her assistant as your wedding planner. Being a dual military couple, my mother is back home on the East Coast and was not able to assist as much in the wedding planning process, but again I was not worried because of Sun Kim. Thank you, Sun.
