Pilialoha Productions

were all taken care of on the day of the wedding. She was friendly, but kept us in check when we needed it during the planning. She coordinated the day of so smoothly that I didn’t need to worry about anything, just enjoy my time, which was very critical. Our guests gave us many compliments about her too! Lastly, all the vendors we had that she recommended were amazing too. She truly did put together the wedding we wished for!

long the timeline. Equally as important, they were receptive and flexible to any last minute changes (not major ones) and move the show rolling without a glitch! Pilialoha also specializes at Kualoa Ranch, so if your wedding is there, you should definitely get her. She knows the location like the back of her hand, and knows all the vendors that are familiar with the location, for ease of coordination. Pilialoha will also ensure that you have an answer or solution for every single thing the wedding day entails, to include a long list of things we would have never though of ever! A wedding coordinator should be the conductor of the symphony of your wedding, and that's what Pilialoha Productions does for you. I highly recommend Pili to anyone!

ur guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to.

e expected! She knows what looks good and what doesn't and will be honest with you which we loved! Couldn't have imagined our big day without her!

dding with two open bars, a huge food line, detailed decorations and interactive activities. As you can imagine there were multiple vendors that needed to get things to the venue in a timely fashion so that everything ran smoothly... and Pili made sure to pick up where there was any slack. I needed pumpkins, she got me pumpkins. She saw that I needed help with set up and cleaning up of tables... her team did that for us. She made sure we ate and had stuff to drink. She took important things to our car for storage. All the running around so that we didn’t need to look at our timeline once. We were able to enjoy ourselves on our wedding day because pili and her team made sure we had everything we needed. and if we didn’t have it... she did whatever it took to get us what we wanted. Mahalo Pili!

were drawn to her energy and was confident in her experience as a wedding coordinator. Pili went above and beyond to help us celebrate and enjoy our wedding day with our loved ones. We could not have asked for more. Details were as we pictured and vendors did an amazing job executing and ensuring we did not have anything to worry about. Thank you Pili for all your help and ensuring our wedding vision came to fruition!

face this review to say that my outlook on wedding planning was to not procrastinate and if I could plan everything out well before I actually got to Hawaii I would have. But things like ordering leis, table seating, etc. is just not something you can always do far out in advance. 3 months out: The time difference was tough so we relied on email or text communication - which worked ideally to me. I really didn't have a lot of vision for the details initially - so Pili was excellent with suggestions and giving me options to ponder over. I appreciated that she kept in mind that I had a budget to stick to and kept additional costs low. She was also not pushy when I declined a suggestion. She was super helpful with picking up custom items I ordered for our wedding (again super amazing since I couldn't pick it up beforehand) and she even ordered our table seating for us instead of me having to shop around for a vendor. That was excellent customer service. Wedding day: She showed up the day of on time (very important to any bride) and was able to execute everything perfectly. I could not have been happier. She really went above and beyond to make sure every detail was covered. I did not have to worry about a single thing on my wedding day. Isn't that all a bride wants?? To relax and have fun and create memories on the day of. People ask me if anything went wrong on that day and I honestly tell them "not that I'm aware of". And I'm confident that that is because I had Pili and her team to manage all the details and any hiccups that may have occurred. She also brought everything back to our room so I didn't have to worry about breakdown of the wedding and getting help from friends/relatives to help bring things back to the resort. Again, I could just relax :) Final review: Hire a coordinator. It was the one recommendation I received as I was planning my wedding. It is just too stressful to handle the vendors, the hiccups, the deliveries, the music, the set up etc. on the day of. Pili has a wealth of knowledge and experience along with excellent customer service that makes her great at what she does. She was easy to communicate with and a joy to work with. I'm slightly type-A and I appreciated that she understood my needs and requests and was able to execute the day of. I have zero regrets and only happy memories from our special day and I know that in large part had to do with Pilialoha Productions.

rowing a baby shower that will live up to my standards and being 7-8 months pregnant with only 1 month to get it all in order was intense !! A friend recommended Pili , and at first I was skeptic because Frankly I’ve never had a party planner. A few other friends recommended other party planner companies and I inquired but something about pili’s first response to me made me feel she was my best bet. And I’m not going to lie, I probably was so difficult to deal with ( mind you I was 7/8 months pregnant and still working and full of hormones going crazy ) so when everything came out perfect and ran smoothly I cannot stress enough how much help having hired Pili. She was efficient and yet gentle but also resilient on making sure MY dream baby shower happened. My shower was talk of the town for weeks and people’s face still light up when mentioning seeing the recap pics & videos! I would recommend Pili to all my friends and family for any event ! She knew all the vendors or if she didn’t she found some to fulfill all my wild requests! She had great energy even if I didn’t and helped execute each task with elegance. If I sound like a huge fan it’s because I am ! Nothing more satisfying than getting more than your money’s worth <3

ld have liked it to be but we communicated 99% of the time via email since we were planning from the Mainland and it was easier for us since I worked at night and slept during the day. The day of, she was excellent and our vision exceeded our expectations. My husband and I were able to relax, enjoy, and take everything in as you should do on the day of your wedding. We had some minor mishaps but we didn’t have to worry about it because Pili was there to take care of it all. Overall, we would definitely recommend Pili to other couples and thanks to her and her team it was definitely one of the best days of our lives. We wish we could relive that day again. Mahalo Pili!

family! I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants a stress free wedding! This lady can handle a large or small wedding! She is tough with everyone around her to get the job done and sometimes you just need someone like that! She was a blessing for me and I’m so grateful for the opportunity of knowing her.

I knew Pili had everything in hand. She and her assistant set up the reception quickly by transferring flowers from the ceremony, and having all the table settings perfect for dinner. She also took pictures of the everything so I had some photos until the professional photos came back. Thank you Pili for making it an amazing and stress free day.

ng was laid out nicely, and planning the wedding remotely, it was a very pleasant surprise to see everything come together. One minor issue we had was communication, especially since we were on the mainland and she was in Hawaii, but we learned to be patient and persistent with emails. She was accommodating with phone meetings to help us feel good about the wedding as it came together. Highly recommend her and her team for wedding coordination.

d expectations. She really went above and beyond so that I didn't have to stress at all on my big day! I was planning my wedding all the way from New York, but Pili made the process so easy!

about. The week of, we ran into a few unplanned circumstances that were out of her control and she was able to resolve them for us immediately. When you are planning on a budget, it is the simple details that can elevate your special day. You need someone who will be honest and decisive. Again, being the "planner" type, we wondered how it would be the day of? I was hoping I would be able to get out of my head and just really live in the moment. We are so grateful to Pili and her team as we were able to do just that, live in our moment. She was able to execute and bring our vision to life! She was honest with her vendor recommendations, which was much appreciated. Her and her team ensured that the venue looked as if our wedding never happened, allowing for us to receive our full deposit back. I run one of the most busiest Four Seasons restaurants and we do a lot of events so I know what it takes behind the scenes to make events as big as ours happen seamlessly. Seriously, on a day as important as this one, you should never compromise and always treat yourself to THE VERY BEST and let Pili and her team to bring your dream to life!!!

event landed on her bday, she was going to take the day off. Pili was our savior! She went out of her way and did so much more then expected. The remaining of our planning was a lot more than one month out. Pili dealt with vendors, changes and all the last minute details so efficiently. Pili was honest but gentle with her feedback. I have a very busy schedule but Pili was able to accommodate me. We communicated via text most of the time. Which was great. We became friends because she's that awesome! We thank her and her team for such a seamless job!!! The day of the wedding was perfect!

rth it. Pilialoha helped make the wedding planning process so easy and painless. I told her what I wanted and she made the picture in my head into a reality. Pilialoha and her team went above and beyond to make my special day nothing less than amazing!

t them -- with her impressive vendor list & local connections- she made sure the ceremony & reception were absolutely perfect. We had an event the night before our wedding--for a South Asian henna ceremony--and her warmth & kindness made everyone feel like she was a part of the family. We recommend Pili wholeheartedly! She is fabulous!

to relax for my wedding so I hired Pili and she helped me find the perfect vendors to ensure our wedding guests didn’t have to lift a finger! She is sooo easy to work with and is very efficient in getting everything done! And she also got along with my family soooo well! I’d Definitely recommend her to plan your dream wedding, whether you are local or planning destination wedding!

y on it, getting contracts in order, working with the venue, and getting programming together. When we say she was on it we are not beating around the bush. Pili was extremely professional and had everything in line and ready to go from start to finish! With her by our side, every bit of stress from the event was washed away because she was running the show. On the day of the wedding she went above and beyond to add final touches to our wedding such as our personailzed me and mrs plates, additional signage at the bars and ceremony, quick snapshots of important moments that she sent to us immediately etc.. She is highly recommended by us, she is quick with her responses from a communication standpoint and just as quick with getting the job done with quality at her side!

sm.

oughout the whole process she was very helpful and gave us some great recommendations. The day of the wedding was obviously very stressful for us but we didn't have to worry about any of the planning because Pili had everything taken care of. We were very fortunate for having her plan our wedding and it turned out to be absolutely perfect.

being a part of what our friends and Ohana have referred to as one of the favorite weddings ever! If I ever get married again I'll totally work with you agai....nah nah nah!!!! Happily Married! Mahalo & Aloha!

cious of budget. In the week of the wedding and on the day itself, she was great in organizing and dealing with things, troubleshooting any little niggles, all so that we didn't have to. My wife mentioned how much she appreciated how Pili and her team were so helpful on the day, paying attention to all the little details. I would recommend Pili to anyone organizing a wedding in Hawaii, particularly if it is a destination wedding. - Peter

y family and me over a year later. Highly recommended.
