La'akea Ocean Wedding

passion and the bride(s) and/or groom(s) as family who deserve the very best. He will be as involved or uninvolved as you want when it comes to coordinating with vendors. I personally wanted to pick-out and work directly with the photographer, hair/make-up, and bakery but utilized his expertise when it came to catering, flowers, and a bartender (use “his guy”, he was great!). He is very protective of his brides and is not afraid to have the “difficult conversation” with folks to ensure “her” big day is as perfect as it can be. Several times he went above and beyond to ensure my day is exactly what I wanted. For example, he demandthat the property owner of the estate where we got married hire people to clean up the beach behind the property. He also called multiple hawaiian islands looknig for someone who could supply the Plumerias I absoutely HAD to have. (Note to self: Plumerias are NOT in season in March…which is when we got married.) He even went to the airport to pick up the plumerias and personally delivered them to the florist. Talk about going above and beyond! Oh, and he offered to go to Costco to pick up alcohol for us so we didn’t have to “waste” our time doing erronds. (Note: We didn’t end up taking him up on this because my husband is very picky about his alcohol and wanted to hand-pick every bottle and can for the day. If were up to me, Elias would have done it, lol.) He also a stash of “goodies” you can utilize like tables and chairs (a HUGE cost savings), glasses, archways, centerpiece pieces. If you are needing assistance with a vision – he can help. If you already have a vision – he will execute what you want. He has staff that shows up the day of the wedding and is absoutely amazing. All day long they are asking what they can do and what you need. So refreshing. Overall, very impessed. You will make a wise choice choosing Elias.
