Becky was outstanding as we planned our Big Island wedding from Texas. Between the pandemic, time/location disparity, unexpected financial issues, and other personal factors (e.g., I was recently diagnosed with a severe heart condition that imp...acts daily functioning), we could not have planned our wedding without her constant assistance, reassurance, flexibility, compassion, and understanding.
On the wedding day, my hair & makeup artist did not have basic equipment (e.g., a hairdryer) at her salon, overtly criticized and refused to execute any portion of the hairstyle and makeup I had requested (and she had promised) both a year and month in advance via provided pictures, and spent the entire time talking about insane conspiracy theories, such as the tragic Uvalde Elementary School shooting having been staged, a la Alex Jones. She never brought me a glass of water despite my asking three hours earlier upon arrival, asked about my wedding or partner, and then did not help me get dressed; I had to get myself into my gown and veil alone, which resulted in my shoes breaking, veil ripping, shapewear prominently displayed through the gown, and a big cut on my finger that was bleeding everywhere, with blood spatter even on the bodice of my gown.
She then sent me outdoors, bleeding, barefoot, and crying, to wait for my groom (and over an hour late for my own ceremony). Thus, immediately prior to marrying my spouse, I was the complete antithesis of how I had pictured myself looking/feeling since childhood. (Spending $600 to look worse than I do on a routine basis while hearing disrespectful babble about murdered children was not how I envisioned my wedding day, or any hair/makeup session outside of a reality show on a fringe conspiracy network).
However, whenever I arrived late for my own wedding, bleeding, hobbling, dizzy from dehydration and heat due to my heart condition and lack of water, looking and feeling visibly upset, Becky immediately smoothed things over by somehow fixing my shoe to enable me to walk down the beach, wrapping my bleeding finger in bandages, and telling me I looked beautiful, despite not feeling that way.
Her presence is very comforting and authentic, and she genuinely cares about how you and your spouse feel emotionally and mentally. She also executes beautiful, detailed, and highly personalized ceremonies, even though she was admittedly not given much to work with on our end due to having a wedding party that went from 30 RSVPS to 0 over the course of a year. Becky changed our ceremony from a wedding to an elopement without any problems, and her husband further graciously videotaped the entire ceremony, so we were able to livestream it for friends and family back home.
In light of the foregoing, I cannot recommend Becky more highly to any engaged couple, ESPECIALLY if/when the unexpected occurs. Both the Big Island and Becky are rare gems; your time spent in her care will yield breathtaking memories.
