Ohana Events

elee who was absolutely amazing and on top of everything!! She took care of all of the little things behind the scenes and I felt like I could fully be present for the day. For example, before the cocktail hour even started she had found my officiant, had her sign our license and put it in my bag. Everything went seamless and felt very stress-free. Highly highly recommend Caelee and Ohana Events:)

onable and professional. So grateful to have worked with her. Thanks to Sonya and Ohana for playing a big part in the success of the day!

credibly helpful information about the different packages and options available. She guided us through the process and helped us make an informed decision that fit both our needs and our budget. We ultimately chose the 6-month planning package and had the absolute pleasure of working with Sonya. She supported us throughout the planning process and created detailed timelines for both the night before and the wedding day—down to the very minute. On the wedding day itself, I was blown away by how amazing Sonya was at keeping everything running smoothly. I truly didn’t have a care in the world. She gave me complete trust and confidence that everything was going according to plan. Sonya kept us relaxed, on schedule, and completely stress-free. If anything went wrong, I had no idea. She even wasn’t afraid to take a firm (but much-needed!) approach to make sure the wedding party was where they needed to be before walking down the aisle. I can’t thank Sonya enough for helping make our day so special. I highly recommend Ohana for your event—if I could do it all again, I would absolutely choose them again!

rom the very beginning, and it has been incredible to see how Danielle has built such a strong, thoughtful, and well-respected planning company. Danielle is amazing at what she does — organized, calm, intentional, and always advocating for her couples. We’ve worked closely with her entire team over the years, including Jenna, Sonya, Rache, Mara, and Emily, and they are all seasoned pros in every sense of the word. Each planner brings the same level of care, professionalism, and attention to detail, which makes working together seamless. One of the biggest reasons we love collaborating with Ohana Events is the level of preparation they bring to every wedding. Their timelines are incredibly detailed and well thought out, which allows us to focus on what we do best and really elevate the overall experience for the couple. There’s a strong sense of trust and teamwork between our teams, and that’s when events truly shine. We’re so grateful for our relationship with Danielle and the Ohana Events team and always look forward to working together. If you’re a couple looking for planners who are experienced, intentional, and genuinely invested in your day, Ohana Events is an absolute dream to work with.

beginning, Jenna was with us every step of the way - keeping us organized, on track, energized, and genuinely excited throughout the entire planning process. She guided us through each phase with so much clarity and care, helping us maintain momentum without ever feeling overwhelmed. Jenna’s presence on our wedding day was truly invaluable. When unexpected weather forced some last minute changes, she handled everything with calm confidence, ensuring our vendors were prepared and that we stayed focused on being present in the moment. Her ability to bring steadiness and positivity to a stressful situation is something we will never forget. Over the months of planning, we formed such a close and meaningful relationship with Jenna. She is kind, empathetic, thoughtful, genuine, professional, and an absolute rockstar in every sense of the word. We can say with the absolute confidence that anyone planning a wedding would be in the best hands and just truly fortunate to have the opportunity to work with and get to know Jenna. We are forever grateful for her and for the entire Ohana team. Danielle has built something truly special, and we feel so lucky to have been in their care. If you’re looking for a planning team that leads with heart, expertise, and unwavering support, Ohana is everything you could hope for and more.

ghtful throughout the entire process. Her professionalism and high-quality work was truly impressive, making our wedding day feel special and stress-free. Jenna helped us plan every detail, from budgeting to place cards, ensuring the day ran smoothly and exceeded our expectations. Ohana Events was worth every penny and we are so grateful for their expertise in making our wedding day truly unforgettable. We will continue to recommend Jenna to anyone who will listen!

art to finish, they were so organized and made the wedding planning process such a seamless and stress-free experience. Tuya was an absolute gem, and handled everything for our wedding that truly allowed us to sit back and enjoy our day. She felt like a lifelong friend and provided so much support and comfort on the big day! I couldn’t recommend the team at Ohana Events enough. 

neo Mansion and Gardens in Vernon Hills, along with a church ceremony that hadn’t hosted a wedding in over 10 years — so there were definitely a few unique challenges to navigate. Jenna handled everything with such professionalism and grace, guiding us through new territory like an absolute pro. One of the best things about working with Jenna is that she let us be as hands-on (or hands-off) as we wanted. She was always incredibly communicative, quick to respond, and made sure we were consistently ahead of schedule — literally for over a year! Friends and family kept commenting on how “on top of it” we were, and that was all thanks to Jenna’s organization and attention to detail. Jenna was also extremely flexible with our busy work schedules, often meeting us late in the evening or on weekends to make things work. We already miss our coffee planning meet-ups with her — they became such a fun and special part of the process! We received so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful, detailed, and well thought-out our wedding was — every element flowed perfectly and our day-of timeline was a masterpiece. She thought of everyone involved — bridal party, family, vendors — and made sure every single person knew exactly where to be and when. I (the bride!) am notoriously 15 minutes late to everything, but this was the one day I was early… all credit goes to Jenna! Of course, no wedding planning journey is totally bump-free, but whenever anything came up, Jenna was right there to handle it calmly and find the best solution. I completely trusted her creative eye and modern touch, and often asked for her advice before making final decisions — her insight was always spot on. She also made vendor management a breeze. Jenna communicated with all of our vendors, handled the back-and-forth, and all we had to do was sign the final contracts. Even in the final month, when we made a bunch of small changes (adding hours to photo/video, makeup touchups, a new seating chart, etc.), Jenna managed it all seamlessly. We didn’t have to lift a finger. Choosing to have a wedding planner was the one decision I never regretted for a single second. A ton of our friends are getting engaged and planning their own weddings and it’s the first thing we recommend. Having someone like Jenna in your corner who truly cares about making your day exactly what you dreamed it would be is the best thing you can do for your peace of mind and overall happiness. While most couples are relieved when the wedding planning is over, we’re the complete opposite — we actually miss it! Jenna is not just an incredible planner, but also such a kind, supportive, and genuinely fun person to work with. We couldn’t imagine our wedding without her, and we recommend her to absolutely everyone. If you’re looking for someone who will keep you organized, stress-free, and actually early on your wedding day — Jenna is your person! 

personable. Not only did she help plan every moment of our wedding weekend and execute the event flawlessly, she also did small things to make us feel extra special and celebrated - she was a natural addition to our friends and family on our big day and everyone had only rave reviews about her. Caelee and Danielle are professional and competent, and I'd recommend Ohana to anyone looking for event planning services!

s cannot express how grateful I am for Sonya, Danielle and Moriah for their assistance during the planning process and on our big day. Sonya is by far the best planner I've had the pleasure to work with and her attention to detail is unmatched. She made our big day run so smoothly and kept our other vendors in check, made sure we followed the very detailed timeline and went above and beyond in every aspect of her role. We could not have asked for a better planner and all of our friends and family were praising Sonya's work after the party came to an end. Thank you Ohana for truly the most perfect day! -A & J

us book all of our vendors and made sure we thought through all of the little details. She made the entire process so easy, and was so supportive the day of. She took away all stress and handled everything so smoothly. Would highly recommend Ohana and Jenna!

ecting with my vendors, and truly on my wedding day, we did not have to think about a thing except getting married. When my reception dress got left behind at the hotel, Lauren instantly went back to go get it for me. Jenna was so sweet and had the most calming presence, she was meant to do this work. Everyone at Ohana was amazing and I highly recommend them.

t needed to happen to run an event well, and were such a pleasure to work with. On the day of, Caelee and Sonya were such a great team and went above and beyond to make our special day go smoothly. No task was too small and I can’t imagine what else may have come up behind the scenes that we didn’t have to address, because we had such a wonderful night where we were able to enjoy our moments and guests. Really great experience!

. All of the decisions and details are so overwhelming that I can't imagine how it would've gone if I didn't go through with getting a planner! From the very beginning, they were organized, attentive, and genuinely excited about our vision. Jenna was our planner and every detail—big and small—was handled with care and precision, and her calm, confident presence made the entire planning process feel really stress-free. She kept us on track with timelines, and was always quick to respond to our questions and ideas. On the big day, we didn’t have to worry about a thing—she made sure everything ran smoothly so we could just focus on celebrating. She really is comforting to be around because I would feel a little lost and overwhelmed, but Jenna is a boss! She is super sweet and warm but gets things done! Her assistant Tuya was amazing on the day, so professional and ensured everything at the reception was perfect for us, I was so relieved! If you're looking for someone who is creative, professional, and truly passionate about what they do, look no further. Hiring Ohana Events, Jenna and Tuya was the best decision we made! Thank you so much!!!!

s who we originally communicated with during the process and she is incredibly professional and so thoughtful. Danielle paired us with Jenna as our planner and Jenna was an absolute DREAM. She thought of things we never would've considered and was far more detail oriented than I could ever hope to be. Our wedding had 0 missteps and it was all thanks to Jenna. She saw our vision and ran with it. So fun to work with, easy to communicate with and a joy to be around. Even our guests were coming up and giving us compliments on Jenna by the end of the night. Jenna saved my sanity more times than I can count (especially in the final months!). Truly couldn't have done it without her and the entire OE team. If you're on the fence about booking a planner, talk to Danielle and her team. You won't regret it!

eginning, Ohana Events stood out to us as their "day of coordination" type package actually starts at 3 months before the wedding. This was extremely appealing to us as during our research we found most other vendors with similar services only started 4-6 weeks before the wedding. After going through the wedding planning process, I cannot imagine only meeting with our coordinator 4 weeks before the wedding. Having the extra time makes such a difference! Danielle was the best to work with as she went above and beyond with everything she did for our wedding. We learned so much from her after our initial timeline planning meeting as she thought of every little detail! We felt confident going in to our wedding knowing that Danielle would be there to take care of anything that came up. Danielle was professional, organized and just a great person to be around. She has a bubbly, positive attitude and you can tell that she genuinely loves her job and cares about the couples she works with! On the day of our wedding we were able to relax and just enjoy the moment as everything was executed to perfection. We cannot thank Danielle and Ohana Events enough for all they did for us!

asting impression. I chose the day of coordination package, and Emily was assigned as our wedding coordinator. Looking back, I feel incredibly lucky because, without Emily, this wedding simply could not have happened. She is the calmest, kindest, most resourceful, and supportive person I could have ever asked for. It felt like having a built-in best friend who went above and beyond for us time and time again. Emily’s meticulous attention to planning, details, and timelines was remarkable. She maintained constant communication with our vendors and us, ensuring every loose end was tied up. When I faced a few beauty mishaps, Emily was right there with solutions, recommendations, and even personally reached out to vendors. Her established relationships within the wedding community speak volumes about her professionalism and the respect she’s earned. Everyone loves working with her. On the wedding day, Emily was by my side every step of the way, from sending a sweet text while I was getting ready to warmly greeting me at the venue and constantly checking in throughout the event. She went above and beyond to calm my nerves before the ceremony, and her presence alone was incredibly reassuring. Emily’s kindness and attentiveness extended to my family and friends as well. My mom was especially impressed by everything Emily did for us and appreciated how she even checked in on her. Emily’s care and dedication made our wedding day not only seamless but completely stress free. To anyone considering working with Ohana Events, I cannot recommend them enough, especially Emily. Her expertise, kindness, and professionalism set her apart, and I feel so grateful to have had her by my side. As years pass, I may forget some details, but I will never forget how well cared for I felt. And thank you, Danielle, for all your guidance along the way. Thank you, Emily. You’re simply amazing!

detail from the timeline to the vendor comms to all my last minute seating changes and little requests. We had the partial planning package and I felt like we got even beyond the value we were looking for with the 3 months of preparation and on site coordination. Most importantly, Danielle was a DELIGHT to work with and I was so amazed by her flexibility, attention to detail, and humility— she didn’t have that “Miami attitude” you see with so many wedding planners down there, and she found a way to tastefully direct me while still prioritizing my wishes as the bride. Thank you for everything to Danielle and the Ohana team!!

munications. Her attention to detail and ability to keep everything running smoothly on the wedding day was truly invaluable. Sonya was on top of every aspect, ensuring that everything was communicated clearly and efficiently to us and all of our vendors. The best money we spent for our wedding was hiring Ohana Events - it made the entire day so much more enjoyable and worth it, as we were able to truly be present and soak in all the special moments without having to worry about the logistics. I cannot recommend Ohana Events and Sonya highly enough!

planning our wedding from start to finish. She was so friendly and we felt such at ease on our big day knowing that she had everything taken care of.

th and did a phenomenal job bringing our vision to life. Wedding planning can be such a stressful time but I never felt any stress working with them - Danielle & Sonya stayed on top of every single details, and made sure our day went off without a single issue! Sonya was our day-of coordinator as well, and we could not have asked for a better person to be there for our big day. We had a very large wedding party, and Sonya kept everyone in line and on schedule! If you are on the fence at all, book with Ohana!!! You will be so happy you did!

best hands. Her professionalism, understanding, and genuine care for her couples were evident at every step of the process. Danielle was so accommodating with our timeline and patient with our payment arrangements, which made everything feel so much easier. She also paired us with the amazing Sonya, who is an absolute rockstar! Sonya exceeded every expectation and went above and beyond in every way imaginable. She ensured that every detail was perfect, handled last-minute changes with grace and efficiency, and treated our family and friends with such warmth and kindness. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, our wedding day flowed seamlessly, and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. If you’re searching for a wedding planner who embodies professionalism, thoughtfulness, and an outstanding team, look no further than Ohana Events. Working with Danielle and her team was one of the best decisions we made, and we’ll forever be grateful for the magic they brought to our special day. We’ll undoubtedly be calling Danielle and her team for any future events!

ur many questions with ease and relieved so much stress from the wedding planning process. I’m so grateful to have had Emily throughout every step of the way. Emily is a natural problem solver. Everything on our wedding day went off without a hitch. One of our main goals in hiring a wedding planner was for my husband and I (and our families!) to be able to enjoy our wedding day and be in the moment without worrying about the details. Thanks to Emily & Ohana, we were able to relax and enjoy every second of our wedding day. Hiring Ohana was one of the best things we did for our wedding. Highly highly recommend!

ur wedding is over), please hire Ohana Events. Hiring Ohana Events was one of the best decisions we made during wedding planning and my husband I said these exact words from the moment we met Danielle at our initial consultation to as of today, a month after our wedding (and probably will say this forever!). Danielle was so kind and professional, and we knew in our gut that Ohana was the way to go. And we were 100% right. She assigned Emily to be our Day of Wedding Coordinator and we cannot thank Danielle enough for choosing the most perfect Coordinator that we could have ever asked for. I don’t even know where to begin with the praises I have for Emily. She was absolutely the best Coordinator and went above and beyond to come up with the most detailed and organized schedule, which was the biggest task I was afraid of handling. Emily took care of communications with all of our vendors and guided us through everything we needed to plan. When planning your wedding, there’s a constant feeling that you’re forgetting something and Emily made sure nothing was forgotten. Her attention to detail and calming presence was such a joy and it was a relief to know that having an incredibly reliable Coordinator like Emily, would make our wedding go smoothly. On the day of, Emily memorized our entire schedule by heart and made sure not only we were comfortable but also our wedding party, family, and our guests. My dad came up to me during reception and asked where we found such an amazing coordinator because our family was just so impressed with everything about Emily! We are so thankful for Emily, Danielle, and the Ohana Events Team. Our day truly could not have gone the way it did if it wasn’t for Emily. Choosing a vendor for your wedding can be overwhelming but if you’re looking for a Coordinator/Planner, please choose Ohana Events. You will be so happy that you made the right decision and your wedding will be seamless and magical!

ot overwhelmed by the process. They communicated with all our vendors and made our wedding day seamless from start to finish, leaving us no worries on our day. Would highly recommend to anyone!

uine and went above and beyond as she was extremely helpful in offering detailed tips/advice in our planning needs. We cant thank her enough for connecting us with our girl and friend for life, Sonya!! Where do I even begin because i can go on and on how much we (and our entire bridal party) love her!! Sonya was sooo easy to work with, her aura and positive attitude to everything made the entire process fun and light. Her attention to detail, professionalism and patience made our dream wedding a success. Thank you Sonya for saving the day and for dealing with our crazy but fun wedding party. Truly an epic night! We love you!!!

na was that fit for us! Danielle was professional, organized, and extremely helpful in offering guidance and advice for our planning needs. She was able to work with our unique set of events and create the perfect in-between coordination package for our wedding! We were matched with our planner, Sonya, 6 months out -- there are not enough words to explain how pivotal Sonya was to the success of our wedding! For the entire 6 months, Sonya was incredibly organized and responsive, and had an incredible patience and attention to detail. She assisted us in scheduling our tastings, making decisions on day of details, creating the layout for both of our events at the Drake, creating the most organized timeline for wedding weekend, and so so much more. Our entire bridal party was amazed at the level of detail the timeline Sonya created had. She also organized a very productive site visit with our key vendors, and was consistently asking questions that my fiancé and I would never have even thought to ask our vendors. During the actual wedding weekend, it felt as though Sonya was doing the work of 10 people. She ensured that everything was staying on track with the schedule, and all relevant parties were where they needed to be, which was no easy feat with all of the moving pieces. She also guided our vendors in pre event set up and post event clean up, which was incredibly helpful in letting us and our families enjoy the day. More than this, though, Sonya cared about every single small detail - from ensuring we had the exact right setup for our unity candle ceremony, to running down the street with an accessory for my outfit I had forgotten, she truly went above and beyond any expectation we had ever had - and it was noticed by our entire family, bridal party, and even many of our guests. All that to say - if you have read this far in this review - HIRE OHANA. The entire team will ensure your wedding exceeds your wildest dreams :)

age, and Sonya went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our wedding was meticulously planned. From curating our timeline to organizing wedding party events and managing all day-of logistics, her experience shined through, leaving no detail overlooked. Sonya's communication with both us and our vendors was fantastic—clear, timely, and professional. What truly impressed us was how well-prepared she was. She had practically every detail memorized, which gave us complete peace of mind leading up to the wedding. We slept soundly knowing we were in great hands! Her bubbly, energetic personality made the whole process fun and enjoyable. On the day of the wedding, we had an unexpected issue with one of our vendors. Sonya and her assistant jumped into action immediately and handled the situation flawlessly. We couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. If you're looking for a coordinator who is professional, organized, and an absolute joy to work with, Sonya and Ohana Events are the way to go!

attention to detail were evident in every aspect of our wedding, from the stunning floral arrangements to the perfectly curated playlist. Her organizational skills are unmatched. Jenna handled all the logistics seamlessly, ensuring that everything went smoothly on the big day. She coordinated with all our vendors, allowing us to enjoy our wedding without any stress. Jenna’s warm and positive demeanor made the planning process enjoyable. She was always available for questions and offered great advice whenever we needed it. Thanks to Jenna and Ohana, our wedding was everything we dreamed it would be and more. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated wedding planner. If you want a flawless, beautiful wedding, look no further than Jenna!

ess free wedding day. She was such a joy to work with from the beginning and made the planning process so fun! I could not recommend them more and we appreciate everything Jenna did for us!

, she was amazing and we opted for the 6 months of coordination. Hiring Ohana was the best decision throughout our wedding process. Emily was our planner and went above and beyond my expectations, managing every tiny detail of the day and more! Emily was super communicative and helpful throughout the whole process, gave her opinions and expertise, and was truly the sweetest. Having her help us for 6 months just made everything so smooth, and its basically like full time planning minus hiring vendors. Could not recommend Emily and Ohana more!

for this was due to Emily's help and direction. She was so reachable and attentive, and made us feel so taken care of. Anytime we needed something on the day, I feel like I would turn around, and she would be right there! We were on the fence about hiring a day of planner (or 3 month out package), and we are so thankful and grateful we did. It really helped pull everything together in the final months, and I truly cant imagine what it would've looked like if we had not had Emily. I seriously want to recommend Emily and Ohana to everyone getting married. This was the best investment I made during wedding planning, and I would do it time and time again. Our wedding was the absolute best day of our lives, and we cant thank Emily and Ohana enough for everything they did to make it so amazing!

ollowed It. They were flexible and worked with us to customize a planning outline around our goals and budget. Our planner Jenna was AMAZING and brought us so much joy from the first time we met her. She was organized and thoughtful and dedicated to honoring our vision while also relaxed and fun so planning meetings felt like hanging out with a friend. Her organization and documents/checklists made It so we were prepared ahead of time in a way that allowed us to thoroughly just enjoy the wedding weekend and week leading up. She was a sounding board for every detail like responding to panic texts about color schemes or spending 25 minutes sifting through different fonts for a menu or thinking outside the box to see what may work for a obscure yet particular vision I had for a seating chart. Our wedding day was SO relaxed and SO fun and I truly attribute a large portion of that to Jenna thinking of every.single.thing. ahead of time and knowing that if anything went wrong she'd handle It with a smile. Wish I could relive that day and work with them forever!!!

up doing the 6-month package and were lucky enough to be paired with Emily. I cannot say enough how much of a dream Emily is to work with. She was a constant source of calm & resourcefulness for us in the hectic months leading up to the wedding. She understood our vision and helped us to execute everything perfectly. She is also just a wonderful and KIND person. If you are on the fence about working with Ohana, I can promise you that you will NOT regret it. If I could give this review more than 5 stars - I would. They are truly incredible. Thank you for everything Danielle and Emily! We adore your team!

made everything stress free, became a true friend to us, and made all of our dreams come true! Everyone has been complimenting her days after the wedding. There’s so much that goes on with planning and the day of and it was all perfect and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Every vendor selection was truly outstanding too, it was the best day. Even beyond the planning, she truly got to know me and Dan on a personal level and I couldn’t feel more blessed to have had her with me through this process and by my side on my day!

ve Sonya as our month of planner. She went above and beyond, not only day of, but the weeks leading up to the wedding. Our wedding party and guests noticed how thoughtful and organized she was too. We can’t say enough great things about her!

ero hiccups because Jenna did such an amazing job with detail, planning, everything that goes into wedding planning. Jenna went above and beyond to get us everything we desired. I wish Jenna nothing but the best in life and hope to stay in touch. That’s how amazing she was!!

ut the venue coordinator does not do nearly the amount that Ohana does. Hiring Ohana is a NEED. I was first introduced to Danielle and we instantly connected. I felt she understood my vision and wanted to help create our dream wedding. We were lucky enough to be assigned to Sonya for the 90-day coordination package and she was the kindest, most patient, and organized planner. She responded quickly to emails and answered all of my questions, she took over communication with vendors and relieved much of the planning stress, she provided detailed checklists and kept me on track. She also created a detailed by the minute itinerary for the entire weekend for us, our vendors, and a shorthand version for our bridal party which was extremely helpful. Our wedding day was seamless with no hiccups and I can honestly thank Sonya for that. She made sure to keep the day moving on schedule, communicated with all of the vendors, and made sure to check in with me often. Even wedding guests and our parents gave raving reviews for Sonya. My husband and I agree that hiring Ohana and being able to work with Sonya was the best investment we would do all over again, and we recommend them to everyone. I wish I had hired Sonya sooner! Best wedding coordinator of all time. It is true, Ohana means family, and that is exactly how the team treats you.

l trying to pick a planner or coordinator (at least it was for me), but Ohana is seriously legit. You are absolutely in great hands with their team. I had actually booked with a different company originally, but a bad review from a bride I knew made me reconsider. I decided to work with Ohana instead and I'm so glad I did. As they say, you get what you pay for... and your coordinator budget is NOT the place to be penny pinching. Rachel was so incredible to work with, from the very first email all the way up to the end of our wedding. She was so organized, encouraging, and professional throughout the entire 3 months leading up to our big day. I was so so so happy to have her on my team. It rained all day on my wedding day and Rachel kept everything together seamlessly, even as our preplanned schedule went right out the window. She made our whole day run so smoothly. I truly didn't have to lift a finger, which was such a relief after months of planning. My whole family and wedding party loved her too!! Ohana Events provides such amazing resources and checklists to keep you on track. I was amazed at how much support I received, even with just a Day Of Coordinator package. I can imagine their full and partial planning services are even more impressive!!

g planning (we did the month-of-coordination package) before we even booked, since planning a wedding was a bit intimidating for us. When our coordinator Emily came in 3 months out from our wedding, we immediately knew we made the right decision. Emily walked us through every detail of our big day and ultimately helped create a timeline that even impressed our other vendors who have worked with many coordinators before. Emily is truly the most kind, patient, thoughtful, and organized person, and it was the biggest blessing to have her on our team for our wedding. She took care of so many details that we would have never even thought of, and took so much stress off of us in the planning process. On the day of the wedding, everything was executed perfectly and our day was smoother than we could have ever anticipated thanks to her help. We have received so many comments from family and friends about how kind and helpful Emily was on our wedding day. My mom continuously brings up how impressed she was that Emily held off the speeches from starting because she realized my mom was in the bathroom. Seriously, she did not miss one single detail. We cannot recommend entrusting Ohana with your event enough - it will be the best decision you ever make!!! Thank you Danielle, Emily, and Ohana for the best day ever!

months before the wedding really put me at ease. I was counting down the days until they would jump in and we had the absolute best experience with Rachel. She was so thorough in our introduction and was there every step of the way from there offering reassurance, advice, and everything in between! We could not have pulled our day off without her help!

e team stepped in and made sure EVERYTHING was covered. Due to an unanticipated change, Danielle even served as our ordained officiant! Rachel sent a comprehensive to do list each month, which was extremely helpful! The day was our fairytale and we owe much credit to our expert planner, Rachel! I had a vision for reception decor and Rachel made it happen by finding the perfect center pieces! I highly recommend Rachel and the Ohana team for your wedding planning needs! You will be able to relax and enjoy your magical day, leaving all the stress and details to the most professional team!

imize our stress for the big day so we started looking at wedding planners on the Knot. We were late in the game to find someone as we were just a month out, but we only needed coordination and for someone to fine tune all the details. Many vendors responded that they only offered full/half planning packages and not just coordination or that what we needed was too much for a coordinator to take on. We finally ended up securing consults with Ohana and one other vendor. My very first Ohana experience was with Danielle and she immediately made me feel at ease about the whole process, but also pointed out a glaring problem with our wedding day timeline. I had planned for hair/makeup to be finished too late in the day which would've made us late for photos and even later for the ceremony. Danielle saved the day in just the consult. The other vendor had a lot of great ideas as well, but did not come anywhere close to Ohana's level of organization, attention to detail, and calming effect. Danielle's organization, calm and friendly demeanor gave me a good vibe overall and so we decided to move forward with Ohana. Danielle informed us we'd be working with one of their senior planners-Emily. Emily turned out to be professional but also friendly, engaged, detail-oriented, thoughtful, and incredibly organized as well. I kept expecting something to go wrong on our wedding day, but it was executed pretty flawlessly and ended up being even more beautiful than either of us could have imagined and we know that is in large part due to Emily. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Emily identified any gaps we had in our planning and helped us resolve them, coordinated the vendors and handled all communications, helped us take care of all the details we never even thought of, kept us all on schedule, and attended to everything and anything on the big day (candle and name plate/seating card placement). I do not know what our wedding would have looked like without Emily and I don't think we would have been able to be so present and enjoy our own wedding without her help. We highly recommend Ohana Events as a whole, and of course Danielle and Emily! They were worth every penny.

er! We worked with Sonya for the 6 months leading up to our wedding and we are so grateful for everything she did for us. Sonya’s attention to detail was unparalleled throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the initial call 6 months before our wedding, everything was meticulously considered, ensuring a seamless and beautiful event. Sonya was super organized with a perfectly crafted and detailed timeline. She coordinated with all of our vendors and managed all logistical aspects with precision. I don’t know how people do it without help from a planner. It took so much stress and pressure off of us in the months and days leading up to the wedding. On the wedding day, Sonya made sure everything ran on time and that everyone was where they needed be so we could enjoy every moment of the day. She also provided a calming and reassuring presence during the pre-wedding jitters. It was evident that she cared deeply about making our wedding day special for us and we are so grateful.
