Something New Wedding & Event Specialists

ing New made us feel like family. Every vendor was perfect, the people were amazing, the venue was paradise, the catering was A+... We couldn't have asked for anything more! The best day of our lives! Thank you so much Jillian

med with all the decisions to make and the people I needed to contact (i.e., I had no idea you had to contact a DJ, a flower person, a food person, a dancefloor person, a tent person, agh!!). When searching for a wedding coordinator, we met with a few, but none of them made us feel as welcome as Charelle made us feel. She was always smiling and handled everything calmly and effectively (even when putting up with my crazy indecisions!). We understood that weddings were expensive, but we had a very tight (read: tiny) budget and didn’t want to compromise on our vision of having a classic, beautiful wedding (read: champagne tastes on a beer budget). Other coordinators we met with scoffed (literally!) at our budget and said that it could not be done, but Charelle had so many great ideas to cut our budget but not skimp on our essentials (read: Martha-Stewart-Wedding essentials). From the beginning it was like she was reading our minds and would bring up things that weren’t even on our radar as far as what we needed for our wedding. I’m not talking about up-selling us things, I’m talking about basic things like having a table available for us to sign our wedding certificates and making sure the flow of traffic from wedding site, to appetizers area, to dining area worked well. Charelle is a problem-solver extraordinaire! We hired Charelle to do all of the coordination of the wedding. We even joked to her that we literally just wanted to show up to our wedding, get married, eat amazing food, dance, and then leave. Little did we know that she would take this joke to heart… She took our (really, it was mine, not my husbands!) gazillion Pinterest board ideas and made it into a reality on our wedding day. After a few in-person meetings with Charelle and several phone calls (me calling her because I came up with YET ANOTHER new idea!), she delivered EXACTLY what we asked her for: we showed up, got married, ate amazing food, danced to our heart’s content, and then left--all in superb Martha-Stewart-Wedding style (obviously). I have to say that when we showed up to the wedding site (which was at Kualoa Ranch) I almost started crying BEFORE I even walked down the aisle because what Charelle delivered was something out of a wedding magazine. She took my millions of photos and just-one-more ideas and turned them into a fairy tale wedding--all within our budget. It was a dream wedding that my friends and family had a blast at and all commented on how much they loved it and how beautiful it was. My husband and I are so happy that we hired Charelle to plan our wedding--it saved us from experiencing any stress and gave us the time to just sit back and enjoy our wedding day (and the months leading up to it). A big mahalo to Charelle and her Something New staff--we couldn’t have pulled it off without you (seriously!!)!

personal needs, like budget. They were very professional and everything ran smoothly on our big day. I am very happy I decided to have professional help, especially since I wanted limited help from family. Everyone was able to relax and enjoy every moment. I could not have pulled off a 10 week engagement without the help of Something New.

ility to keep me on task and to make me feel calm was something only she could do. Going into the wedding planning processes was completely overwhelming for me. Charelle was able to give me small tasks to complete every couple of weeks to keep me on track. She is very organized. Each time I met with her I left feeling calm and assured that everything was going great. She has a wonderful relationship with the vendors and was able to communicate to them for me. She helped me create a beautiful wedding and was able to save me a lot of money in the process. The day of the wedding Charelle and Jillian were incredible! If anything went wrong, I never knew about it. They took care of everything! They truly made me feel like it was my day and I had nothing to worry about. I'm still getting complements on the wedding form friends and family months after it happened. I would highly recommend Charelle, Jillian, and Socorro for any event!

ng from California and didn't meet Charelle face to face until about a month before our wedding but you would never know that we hadn't met her. She helped us with every question along the way; big and small. In the days leading up to the wedding, she calmed my nerves about everything and I had 100% confidence in she and her team. The day of our wedding, it started pouring rain and she and her team moved all the tables under cover and re-arranged the whole reception site without issue. She and her team also kept our event on track when unexpected issues arose, such as my father passing out and leaving in an ambulance. Our wedding day was the best day of our life and we have Charelle and her team to thank.
