Our wedding took place on 9/7/2014 at the Halekulani in Waikiki.
I heard great reviews about Savvy Weddings from The Knot and Halekulani. Once I met Jenn, I knew she would execute everything in a professional manner. Jenn is very calm and ...collected, I could tell right away she was extremely organized. We got the destination package, which included unlimited communication and coordination of all wedding week events. I highly recommend this package to anyone planning a wedding outside of Hawaii.
Jenn was respectful of our budget, and with each vendor (flowers, photographer, music, etc) she was able to provide a "budget option," a "higher end" option," and everything in between. This allowed us to have excellent, reliable vendors at prices that fit our budget. The only thing I wasn't thrilled about was communication. I would have preferred more regular phone meetings so we could talk about the progress of the wedding plans. What usually happened was I would get several emails at one time. Despite this minor setback, it did not affect the outcome of the wedding at all!
What I really liked was that Savvy Weddings helped me plan golf outings during the week of our wedding, and a farewell brunch the morning after our wedding. Jenn and her team also delivered customized welcome bags to all our guests around the island. Little things like this really enhanced our guests' experience! I arrived in Hawaii, all I had to do was relax and enjoy! On the day of my wedding, everything was planned by the minute, not once did I feel stressed or rushed. The Halekulani staff, Jenn's team, and the rest of our vendors worked together perfectly to give us an unforgettable wedding experience.
It was very important to me that I enjoy my wedding day with minimal stress, and my guests enjoy as well! Savvy Weddings exceeded our expectations, and having a full service coordinator was worth every penny! It's been almost a month after our wedding and we are still buzzing from all the great memories!
