Taryn Stark Wyant Event Planning and Design

If you’re looking for wedding planners who will bring your dream wedding to life and then some, look no further than Taryn and Dani! They planned our September wedding in Paso Robles, CA, with a stunning Tuscany-inspired theme, and the result was absolutely magical. Every detail, from the décor to the timeline, was seamless and thoughtful. The venue looked like it was plucked straight from the Italian countryside, with romantic touches that took our breath away. The food was absolutely divine—our guests couldn’t stop raving about it! And the dance floor? It was packed all night long. Taryn and Dani curated an atmosphere where everyone felt energized and excited, and we didn’t want the night to end. Their professionalism and creativity are unmatched. They truly understood our vision and made the entire planning process enjoyable and stress-free. If you want planners who will go above and beyond to create a celebration you’ll cherish forever, Taryn and Dani are the dream team. Thank you both for giving us the best day of our lives!

We had the absolutely best experience with Taryn and Dani! We planned a destination wedding in Hawaii, with ancillary events throughout the week. From the moment we began planning, I knew we were in good hands. Dani took the lead on our planning, and presented us with BEAUTIFUL décor options for each event. Our main job was to say yes or no - it was incredible and took all stress away from planning a wedding. The timeline was organized, the guests didn't worry about a thing, and my husband and I felt like VIPs all week long. It poured rain on the day of the wedding, and Taryn and Dani went all over the island finding matching umbrellas that aligned with the aesthetic of our event for every guest. They truly went above and beyond in every way.

We had the opportunity to partner with Taryn + Dani on our Destination Wedding and are so grateful to have done so! With our Wedding in the Summer of 2020, we had many challenging factors playing into our Planning Process, including a location change, vendor changes, and guest changes. In the end, Taryn + Dani brought our vision to life perfectly in Vail, Colorado and we loved our Wedding Day more than words can express. If you're looking for a highly capable, kind, fun team to support you through the Wedding Planning Process and bring your vision to life beautifully, Taryn + Dani are the right fit for you! Well worth the investment!

I cannot even begin to explain how grateful I am for our wedding planner Dani and the rest of the staff at Platinum Weddings & Events. My fiancé and I knew that we wanted to have a destination wedding in Maui so while his parents were there, they went and checked out a couple of venues for us. When they went to Olowalu Plantation house, they were able to meet the Platinum team and were blown away by the venue and their work. We instantly knew that this was the venue we wanted to get married at and the team we wanted to help us achieve our dream wedding. The entire time we were planning our wedding, we were in College at Boise State. Even though we were insanely busy and there was a huge time difference, Dani was able to keep our wedding planning on schedule and was incredibly patient with us. Together we were able to create the perfect “Mood Board” that would then become the inspiration for our entire wedding. Dani always strived to make sure our vision was at the forefront but also pushed me outside of my comfort zone to truly create us a special and unique wedding. Before Dani went on maternity leave in July, we had nearly every detail for our wedding hashed out. While she was gone, Taryn was always there to answer our question and make us feel reassured that everything was in order. Though I was a little nervous to be Dani’s first wedding back from maternity leave, she literally did not skip a beat. During the rehearsal, she was focused, concise and prepared. There was no confusion and everybody knew exactly what they were suppose to be doing the day of the wedding. On our wedding day, we were absolutely blowed away by Dani and her team for going above and beyond! There were so many details that went into our wedding that we never expected and it well exceeded our wildest expectations! The day went literally flawlessly  and Dani was able to keep us perfectly on scheduled. It was amazing! We were able to enjoy our special day stress free because we knew that Dani and her team were there for us and knew exactly what they were doing! THANK YOU Platinum Weddings & Events from making our dreams come true! We will remember and cherish this day for the rest of our lives!

They didn’t even attempt to offer their services to me... we haven’t really decided on a budget amount yet so I just put an estimate... and unlike other companies they didn’t even ask if we could be flexible on our budget... they just said they couldn’t accommodate.

Planning a destination wedding can be daunting, but after my first call with Taryn I knew that her company was the right choice to plan the perfect wedding. My planner Danielle was patient and understanding when needing to move dates. She supported every detail of not just the wedding, but of the trip my fiancé and I had planned to see the venue and meet with other vendors truly making it a seamless experience. As a visual person I had a really hard time articulating my vision. She was available to take calls when I had questions or needed to talk through anything helping my vision come to life. I knew I wanted an intimate wedding with a modern touch and she was able to procure custom made tables and new chairs that hadn’t been available yet. I have been getting SO many compliments on those chairs! Danielle was on maternity leave the last few months leading up to my wedding date which might make any other bride nervous but I truly felt we had ironed out everything before she even left. When she was out and I had questions Taryn picked up right where Dani had left off. There was so much trust with them that honestly when I couldn’t decide I left it to her because I knew she had the vision. I think the best tip Dani gave us was around catering. She brought in a newer caterer that was very inexpensive but we were blown away by their food compared to other vendors that looked nice but were bland. Thanks for that! At the end of the day we had the perfect venue at Olowalu with 30 of my closest friends and family. Even with such a big space she was able to make it work perfectly with the small group. Thank you for our special gift memorializing our day as well. They really went above and beyond.

I used to joke throughout the wedding planning process that the best thing about my wedding, with exception of my husband, was Taryn. Now that it is all said and done with, I know that to be especially true. My wedding was magical. It was breath taking, grandiose, and ornate, yet equally intimate, inviting, personal and unique. There were so many details, little and big that created this fairytale day that my husband and I will cherish forever, which was all single handedly made possible by Taryn. My wedding day was the least stressed I had ever been in the planning process, which is saying something for a person who typically worries without cause, again, single handedly because of Taryn. People would ask me leading up to the wedding if I was stressed of which my response was, “No, because Taryn.” Throughout the entire planning process Taryn was pragmatic, practical, problem solving, and reassuring. I was never one of those brides who dreamed about her wedding day growing up so you can imagine that I essentially had no idea what I wanted for the big day. Through multiple conversations, Taryn took these little snippets and tidbits of information I had shared in passing and created this beautiful, ornate, whimsical and bohemian vision that I didn’t even know existed or that I had. As destination weddings go, you are putting a lot of trust in the people who are on scene to orchestrate and cultivate your event as many of times you will not have the opportunity to see these things in the flesh until the day of. Your trust is well deserved and appropriately placed in Taryn. As is true for life in general, thing will go wrong to some degree or deviate slightly from plan during the wedding planning process but having a good planner, and one that you trust can make all the world of a difference. That was exactly the true in my case, when unforeseen issues or circumstances arose, so too did Taryn, and in each case I ended up with a better result than had been originally planned. She was a problem solver, and solution driven when obstacles did arise, but meticulous and detail oriented in her planning that very few actually did. I could honestly keep going, but I wont. If you are looking for a reliable, stress free, option for your destination wedding, I would 100 percent hire Taryn.

The best experience ever! My Wife and I, like many others got a little worn out during the decision making process. There is honestly so many details involved we began to look at each other and say, “Man I wish we could just take the image in our head and make that happen.” After we met with Taryn and did Platinum Wedding’s vision board we were actually able to do just that. My wife and I showed them the image we had in our head and Platinum Weddings and Events executed exactly what we wanted! They worked in our budget and made our dream wedding come true!!! Amber, our wedding coordinator, on the day of the wedding ran everything smoothly. She made sure everything and everyone was were it was suppose to be when it was suppose to be there. Which meant my wife and I were able to focus on the most epic day of our lives with not a stress in the world :)))

We worked with Amber from Platinum Weddings and Events for our destination wedding in Maui. She did such a phenomenal job working with us from afar in Texas. She did everything. From responding promptly and patiently to all of our detailed questions to giving her personal insights and recommendations on vendors, Amber helped to create a wedding that exceeded our expectations. It is hard to plan a destination wedding, as it feels like you're planning everything in disjointed pieces (especially without seeing the venue or doing any tastings). But when I stepped onto my venue, I was in awe of how everything came together and how gorgeous the design was! All of our guests said it was the prettiest wedding they've ever been to. It was all thanks to Amber, who helped to guide us during our planning process. On the day of, Amber worked tirelessly from the morning until night to help set up and break down. Sweat was literally dropping from her brows. During our couples photo shoot, Amber and Taryn were like friends hovering in the background, making sure our hair was in place, suits straightened out, and veils detangled from bushes (haha). They made sure that I had zero stress on my wedding day. If you're planning a Maui wedding, I would highly recommend Platinum Weddings and Events and Amber!

From the moment my husband and I met Taryn, we immediately clicked and knew that working with her to plan our wedding was meant to be. Saying that Taryn and her team were absolutely amazing in planning and executing our wedding doesn’t even begin to do it justice. As soon as I stepped on the Olowalu Plantation House property and saw all of our wedding finally put together, my jaw dropped and the tears immediately started falling. It was all that I could ever dream of and more, a true fairy tale wedding. It has been almost 3 months since our wedding, and our guests are still talking about it. We have heard so many positive comments from not only our guests, but also our family and friends who were not able to attend our wedding. We’ve been told that “it was the best wedding they have ever been to”, “it was like something out of a movie”, “magical”, “a fairy tale wedding”, and “a privilege to have been invited to”. Our wedding was the best day of our lives. We wish we could live it over and over again. Throughout the planning process, Taryn worked very closely with us to make sure that ALL of the details that were important to us were captured. She was very honest about the costs of different vendors, decorations, flower arrangements, etc throughout the process. She listened to what meant the most to us and helped us to make vendor decisions based on that. In the beginning, Taryn took diligent and comprehensive notes on what our wedding vision was and worked to make it come true. As we live in MA, you can imagine that the phone calls back and forth, and not being able to taste or see anything in person were nerve racking – but that was not the case with Taryn. She described everything in perfect detail and we fully trusted her judgement. As we progressed through the planning process and started making final decisions, she was honest with her opinions based on her experience. We took her advice on all of it, and are so happy that we did because it was all perfect! Not only did Taryn work with my husband and I together on our wedding, but also worked separately with my mom and husband with planning individual surprises. My mom discretely worked with her to plan extra surprises for my husband and I, and my husband worked privately with her to plan to surprise me with a special serenade on the piano (which couldn’t have been easy to find in Maui). Taryn was able to fulfill his request to bring in a baby grand piano so that he could surprise me with playing a special song while one of our amazing entertainers sang along. She was able to pull off both surprises successfully! Taryn and her team have high expectations of their vendors and work with only the best. All of the vendors that Taryn helped us choose were incredible! They managed to meet all of our requests and expectations. I would recommend all of the vendors that we used without hesitation. On the day of the wedding, everything was executed flawlessly. The dedication, vision, and heart that they all put into our wedding was very evident. Any request we had, even last minute, they were able to pull off. There were times that our 4 year old flower girl didn’t want to take photos, and they were even able to get her to *happily* cooperate with us. My husband and I could go on and on raving about how spectacular Taryn and her team are. We want to sincerely thank Taryn for making the vision of our perfect wedding day come true. We highly recommend choosing her for your perfect day!

I wish I could truly capture what an impact Taryn made on our wedding and our lives. Any words I write feel truly inadequate to express the magnitude of our gratitude. Taryn made our wedding the most gorgeous, seamless, unforgettable experience of our lives. Her impeccable taste, expertise in the field, excellent communication, above and beyond work for her clients, love of what she does, and amazing attitude makes her not only the best planner you could possibly choose, but the best human being you could know as well. She will elevate your wedding to a level you wouldn’t have even imagined. Remarkably, you won’t even feel stressed about your wedding whatsoever, because Taryn will handle every tiny detail. Beyond that, she’ll make you feel confident, cared for, and assured along the way. She’s a wedding saver, and from what I’ve heard about other people planning their weddings without Taryn, she is a relationship saver too! Her passion, kindness, generosity, knowledge, and connections gave us the most beautiful wedding we could have possibly imagined (and what many guests told us was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended). Choosing Platinum Weddings & Events was the best decision we could have possibly made. I know you will feel the same way!

Danielle and the team at Platinum Weddings can only be described as exceptional. We had presented Danielle and the team with a unique vision for our wedding - a little outside of the norm and distant from traditional - and not only did they nail the vision from the beginning, everything was enhanced to the point of becoming a fantastical surprise on the day of our wedding. No guest of ours had ever been to a wedding like this and I would go so far as to say they never will again. Simply incredible. Everything was absolutely painless, as if Danielle knew what we wanted before we did and had it prepared to present to us. The ceremony and reception went off without a hitch, and in true Hawaiian style: everything was relaxing, fun, and focussed on friends and family. We were constantly told by our guests or those who saw the photos that it was the most beautiful and magical wedding they had ever attended or seen and set the bar impossibly high for any other to follow. Without Danielle and Platinum weddings making it look and feel so easy (which I'm sure it wasn't), I can't imagine having come remotely close to what was achieved any other way. My wife, myself, our friends and family cannot say enough to thank Danielle and Platinum Weddings. Recommending them would not do justice to the work they put in for us, I would go so far as to say choosing anyone else would be missing the mark. Mahalo, A+J

Love Platinum Weddings & Events!!! I've heard of so many brides stressed out about their wedding, but mine was a breeze to plan. Amber was super fast at responding and always available to answer any questions no matter how minor! I was so carefree leading up to the wedding since I knew everything was already handled and would be perfect.

Amber was extremely detail oriented and made the entire process smooth and seamless. Her organization of every detail helped to alleviate any stress during the planning process. I would highly recommend the services of Amber and team at Platinum Weddings.

We were planning a destination wedding, and knew we needed to find someone that we truly clicked with and could trust. During our first phone call, I knew right away that Taryn was the one. Working with Taryn was the easiest thing I've ever done! She has the absolute best energy, and works tirelessly for her brides-to-be! I kept expecting and wondering if the wedding stress everyone talked about would kick in, and it just never did. I provided Taryn with a mood board, and then gave my input as she asked for more information. Taryn took all of my ideas and made them reality! I fully trusted that she would make my day special, but she made everything even more beautiful and seamless than I could have imagined. Every vendor that Taryn recommended went above and beyond our wildest expectations. Every single thing on the day of was absolutely perfect. We literally cannot even think of a single thing that we would change. The best part of our day was being able to fully enjoy every single second knowing that Taryn had everything handled so we didn't need to worry. So sad to not be working with her and her amazing team anymore!

When searching for a wedding planner for my daughters wedding so far away, I started by emailing various companies, narrowing it down and requesting phone interviews. My daughter and I only got past one interview because it was Taryn from Platinum weddings. We knew from that phone call , we had our person. We settled on Olowalu Plantation house and then begin our vendor selection. It was scary being so far away but I cannot express how absolutely perfect every aspect turned out! We started our day singing Lady Gaga with our incredible hair and makeup ladies from I Am U’I to Dmitri & Sandra photography guiding us effortlessly through photos. The flowers and decor were fabulous and the bar staff at Aloha bars were wonderful. The food and service from Cafe O’Lei catering was beyond exceptional! All in all we expected a few bumps along the way, NOT ONE happened. We cannot thank this team of people enough for making a perfect day.

Taryn and her team were INCREDIBLE. It was such a relief having her available to put together a fantastic, unforgettable wedding for us. She was highly professional, responsive, knowledgable and an absolute delight to work with. We can't recommend her highly enough!

Dani is amazing! We decided to have a destination elopement in Maui, and our hotel recommended Platinum Weddings. They have many different package options to choose from depending on your wants, we went with the rainforest photo shoot and beach ceremony and it was beyond our expectations, flowers, music, hair/makeup, amazing dinner at the Sheraton, hawaiian style ceremony with conch and leis, we even had a little turtle crash the wedding, surfing in the waves! I highly recommend using Platinum Weddings, they can make your dreams come true!

When my daughter Kiley and her fiance Nate decided on a destination wedding to Maui I quickly realized we were in desperate need of a wedding planner. We reached out to Platinum Weddings & Events hoping they could come alongside us and make our daughters wedding a special and unforgettable experience. Amber with Platinum Weddings DID NOT disappoint. Amber was patient, informative, reliable, creative, professional and an absolute joy to work with. Over the course of several months, Amber helped us plan and execute every detail of the wedding. The day of the wedding, Amber and her assistant arrived early in the morning to coordinate the vendors and did not leave till late that evening. Her presence the entire day and evening gave us the opportunity to not worry about the details and to just enjoy and cherish the moments with Kiley, Nate and our guests. I would highly recommend Platinum Weddings & Events.

We got lucky when we found a venue we loved in Maui. We wanted to do an intimate wedding at the Sheraton Maui Resort and Spa to allow our guests to enjoy the amenities they had and of course to have a resort style type of wedding. Sheraton had set us up with Platinum Wedding & Events (PWE) to start planning our wedding and we definitely struck gold with them. PWE has great relationships with their vendors (Photographers, Videographers, etc) so when we say we struck gold, we definitely struck a gold mine! Dani was our wedding planner and she was beyond perfect. She understood our vision and blew us away with the end result. Dani was also accessible whenever we needed her, especially with the time difference we had. Overall, we did not have an ounce of stress leading up to the wedding and during the wedding. We actually miss talking to Dani because she had a very warm personality and was easy to talk to. She made our wedding one of the best days of our lives; absolutely perfect and unforgettable, we’re still in awe. We can’t thank them enough for giving us a wedding of our dreams within our budget.

My husband and I worked with Amber to plan our destination wedding in Maui at Sugar Beach Events and we are so happy to have had her as our planner! Planning this wedding could've easily been SO MUCH more stressful if we didn't have all the help of Amber coordinating our vendors and wedding details. Our actual wedding day was perfect, and even though a bird happened to poop on my dress, Amber and her assistant worked so hard to clean it off so that our pictures and videos were as perfect as possible. Many of our guests mentioned how well the evening flowed without flaws and its all thanks to Amber. It also helped that she was so calm and easy to talk to while we were planning and on the wedding day as well! We are so beyond thankful of the PWE team!!!

We found Platinum Wedding through Wedding Spot when we decided to have our wedding at the beautiful Sheraton Maui Resort and Spa in Lahaina, HI. I had no idea what we were thinking deciding to have a wedding 4,800 miles away! Platinum Weddings made the whole process a lot easier and our wedding turned out to be the most amazing day ever. Dani was our wedding planner and I cannot say enough good things about her. When I didn't know what direction to go with the flowers or the decorations, she had a lot of good ideas that she brought to the table from her previous experiences with other weddings, which I found tremendously helpful. It was so easy to communicate with her either over the phone or via email and I never waited more than a day to hear back from her (mostly within a few hours!) She also was able to upgrade our room to where the wedding venue was, which also helped greatly on our actual wedding day. The vendors were equally amazing. From our talented ukulele soloist to our unbelievably funny and kind photographer and his team, they were all just perfect. I would highly recommend Platinum Weddings to anyone planning a wedding in Maui. Thank you to Taryn and Dani for all the hard work you put in to make that day so special for us. Mahalo.

Dani was great! We picked a simple beach elopement wedding. She handled everything and made necessary changes the day of due to weather. The entire family thought it was a perfect ceremony!

With only six months to plan a wedding and a major move we needed help and Platinum Weddings and Events really delivered. We were impressed from the start when Taryn was so helpful and responsive even when facing a hurricane and its aftermath. We were very lucky to work with Amber for our wedding. She was so approachable and extremely professional – you can tell she genuinely cares about her clients. She was great at responding to all my questions and had brilliant ideas and suggestions to help us execute our vision. The vendors we worked with were fantastic and having Platinum manage all of that was a godsend. I don’t know what we would have done without them. There are just so many details to think about and manage. I can’t imagine how you could be responsible for all of that on your wedding day and still enjoy it. Thank you so much Amber and Taryn!

We would highly recommend Platinum Weddings! Dani, our planner, gave us the day of our dreams. She always answered emails in a timely fashion. She made gorgeous decor suggestions that turned out well above our expectations. She recommended excellent, professional vendors. Even with last minute changes, she was accommodating and efficient. On the day of, my husband and I had nothing to fret about; she took care of it all! Many guests commented on our wedding being the best ever. Thank you PWE!!

Amber is absolutely AMAZING!!!!!! If you are planning any type of destination event in Maui, she is the girl you want planning it! Amber went above and beyond for our wedding at The Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa, and our day was nothing short of perfect! Not only did she make it stress free (which is hard to do planning a wedding in Maui when we are all the way in Colorado), but she made it so much fun too! I would pick Amber and Platimum Weddings & Events a million times over again! Through this process, I feel like we made not only a friend, but someone we will continue to share our big life moments with. To be able to say that I think speaks volumes of how they do work over at Platinum Weddings & Events!

We had Platinum Weddings do the event planning for our wedding back in October and I was completely satisfied with the entire process and I truly loved everything about my wedding. I also had multiple guests tell me it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Amber quickly responded to my many emails and many questions, came up with creative ideas and gave her honest input when needed, helped me with all the small details and finishing touches, managed all of my vendors, managed the entire day of the wedding and SO much more! The list goes on and on! She and Dani even came to the rescue when my bustle came undone mid wedding! They made destination wedding planning seamless and stress free. After arriving on Maui we had the marriage license appointment to do and that was literally it, everything was already planned and taken care of! I recommend them wholeheartedly and wish I could go back and relive the wedding just one more time! Thanks Amber and Platinum! -W&C

Rich and I couldn’t have been happier with the amazing service we experienced with Amber and the Platinum Weddings team. After planning for over a year across time zones, Amber made it all come together flawlessly! She made the destination wedding planning process fun and easy for us, and helped to align our choices with our overall vision. Among the many ways Amber went above and beyond on the day of, she asked our makeup artist to return just before the ceremony to make sure my mom’s makeup was perfect. We would recommend Amber and Platinum Weddings to anyone, and are forever thankful to have had them by our side throughout this special time in our lives!

Having Platinum Weddings coordinate our beach elopement was a great experience. It was a pleasure working with Amber from start to finish. She was very responsive, communicated well and offered helpful tips and suggestions. We really feel like we just showed up and everything was taken care of completely stress free. It was honestly absolutely perfect and exactly what we wanted, we would not have changed a thing. I highly recommend Platinum Weddings to anyone who is looking for the perfect wedding day that is completely stress free. Much Mahalos Amber and team Platinum!

Dani is DA BOMB! Planning a destination wedding for 100+ people without spending a million dollars is a huge job, but she was able to gracefully handle our busy schedules, strict budget, and desire to have a wedding that didn't feel too "wedding-y" or cookie-cutter. On the day of our wedding, the PWE team executed everything flawlessly, so we didn't need to stress about the setup or the timeline and were able instead to just enjoy the day. A few friends who have known me for a long time (and have seen me in other high-stress situations) could not believe how calm I was on my wedding day-- this is 100% a testament to Dani! Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and we heard from more than a few guests, "this is hands-down the best wedding I've ever attended". Thank you Dani and PWE!!!

Janssen and I are extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Amber at Platinum Weddings and Events. We are from California and started planning our Maui wedding about 10 months before our wedding date. Through the 10 months, Amber was extremely attentive with all of our questions and taking my phone calls. Since we did plan from another state, I was a little nervous about how it would all turn out not being able to see the venue or any details prior to the wedding but Amber made sure that I understood each detail as best as possible. The day before we flew out to Maui, the majority of the employees at the hotel that our wedding was being held at and all of our guests were staying at went on strike. Amber called me to ensure us that everything would be OK for our wedding and calmed my nerves, and the day of the event made sure that everything went off without a hitch. It was a perfect day!! Thank you so much Amber for everything and I am going to miss talking to you often!

Working with Platinum Weddings and Events made the entire planning process, and day of wedding, so flawless! Amber was a delight to work with from the moment we met her to saying good bye after the wedding. She thought of every detail and followed through on all requests. She made great suggestions and helped us with design details and vendor choices. I would strongly recommend Amber, and the Platinum team for anyone considering a Destination Wedding in Maui!

My husband I went to Maui to renew our wedding vows for our ten year anniversary. Amber was our planner and she did such an amazing job. It was beyond anything I could have ever imagined. Amber had our itinerary down to the minute, her planning was so immaculate, she had made us dinner reservations at the best table at Merriman’s and made sure we were seated right before the sunset. It was magical and we are so grateful to Amber for making it so special and unforgettable. I HIGHLY recommend Platinum Weddings and Amber to anyone planning a wedding or vow renewal. You will not be disappointed. Thank you again Amber, you are the best at what you do!!!

Platinum Weddings & Events were a dream for our Maui wedding. Amber was our planner and was outstanding. Working with Amber was like planning your wedding day with your best friend. She provided great guidance and vendor recommendations, got excited over the little details you loved and made sure that on the day you really enjoyed everything you had chosen to make your wedding day truly special. Picking a planner felt like a difficult task for me, because I know I can very type A and controlling. Handing the reigns over to Amber was easy! Although I still had tons of questions and change of mind, last minute additions and all the details, Amber responded promptly and completely calm and collected. On the day, Amber went above and beyond. She had correctly recommended vendors that made our dreams a reality and more so. Additional little extras like amazing extra florals, chargers and even baby sitting really made the day even better than we had dreamed and would not have been possible without PWE and Amber.

The entire Platinum team is amazing! My husband & I were recent transplants to Maui & from the start they were so fun to work with! Not only were they helpful with our wedding but also helped in getting us acclimated. Amber is on it! Very quick to respond & was always available to take a call or quick check-in meeting despite how busy she was. She was always so calm & collected even when I had my moments of freaking out or special circumstances that needed tending to. She always made me feel at ease and was very solution oriented. They truly made our wedding so seamless & stress free, we cannot thank you enough! Many Mahalos, The Becks

The entire Platinum team was amazing! Amber was a rockstar, she nailed every detail, bringing our dream wedding to reality. We couldn’t of asked for a better planner. She was so organized from the beginning, making it so easy to plan our wedding from afar. Thank you for making our day so memorable and stress free, especially with the unknown of hurricane Lane approaching. Mahalo!

Outstanding service. Taryn made our Maui wedding very easy & stress-free. Excellent communication from start to finish, we never had to worry about anything. Thank you so very much.

It's practically impossible to plan a destination wedding without a local wedding planner. You are still left with many things to consider and lots of choices to make. The hard part, though, keeping track of all the things going on, talking to all the vendors and trying hard to realize all your ideas, is done by the wedding planner. Having help from Platinum Weddings, and in particular Dani, was tremendously helpful! She worked hard to accommodate all of our ideas and wishes, even though on some things we changed our minds multiple times or rather late in the planning process. That must have been at times a bit annoying, but Dani would never let us know :-) When some things couldn't be done the way we imagined, she and Taryn didn't take our frustration personal and instead worked with us to find solutions. On the day of the wedding, Dani and Taryn tirelessly worked in the background to make everything happen the way it was meant to be. We literally had to nothing to take care of and could just enjoy ourselves. One example: During our dinner it started drizzling a bit. We decided to move inside for the first course. Dani took care of talking to the staff and communicating what to do. She also organized to get our photo display inside - nobody else was thinking of it and when we eventually realized way too late, she already had taken care of it. We're very grateful for that. When we went back outside for the second course, Dani already taken care of wet seat cushions. Lessons learnt 1) Maui has quite a few regulatory restrictions on what you can and cannot do on your wedding party. Better ask your wedding planner early on about them to adjust your expectations 2) The day is going to rush by fast and it ends at 10pm. You as the wedding couple actually don't have a lot of time to do things - you will just not have time to take care of all the little things that need attention during Your Day. Get dressed, say "I do", take pictures, have dinner, cut the cake and dance a bit. Poof, the day is over :-( 3) Initially we wanted to have a 'really small wedding' and didn't think we would need things like a DJ, bar keeper or waiters. By recommendation from Dani and partly out of regulatory necessity, we had all of these. And it was good advice! In hindsight we cannot imagine, how else we would have kept our guests comfortable and entertained while still enjoying ourselves.

I have known for years that I wanted to get married on Maui when the time came, but I knew I needed a team of experts to make it a reality. Platinum, specifically Amber, was the team that made it happen and we couldn't be happier with our experience working with them. I looked at several wedding planners on the island, but I was sold on Platinum from my first call with Taryn. I worked with Amber throughout the planning process and through our wedding day. She made the planning process so simple and recommend amazing vendors. I had several more difficult or even picky requests about various aspects of the wedding and Amber did an amazing job executing each one. I along with my husband and family were especially impressed with Amber on our wedding day. Every part our wedding ran smoothly, even with some rain. She remained very calm and professional when it rained before and after the ceremony which I was very grateful for as I was not calm about the rain situation. She especially went above and beyond to be there for us and make sure things went smoothly while we took couples pictures in the rain. In the end, our Merriman's wedding was more amazing than we could have imagined. We really couldn't be more impressed with our experience. Our guests are still raving about our wedding and I attribute a lot of that to Amber and her execution of our wedding day. We highly recommend Platinum Weddings and Events!

My husband and I renewed our vows with our grown children using Platinum Weddings & Events. Our initial conversation was with Taryn. She was extremely professional and assured us that her company would be able to accommodate our needs. She told us one of her associates would be in touch with us. In less than 24 hours we received an email from Danielle and we set up a time for a phone call. Like Taryn, Danielle was professional, knowledgeable, and very personable. She discussed various options for our renewal and answered all of our questions. She followed up the phone call with a detailed summary of our phone conversation which also included contacts for minister, flowers, photography, hairdresser, etc. Danielle was thorough, organized, and put us at ease. She continued to email me with friendly reminders throughout the entire planning process. The event was perfect!! All of the contacts including hair, minister, photographer, and florist were top notch; professional, competent, sincere, and friendly. This was one of the best days of my life and I will treasure the event for the rest of my life. Kudos to Danielle and Platinum Weddings!!

When my (now husband) and I got engaged last year and talk of wedding planning began, we knew we wanted to have a small, intimate wedding with our family and friends on the island of Maui. What we didn’t know, was where to start with finding vendors, especially living thousands of miles away. After a few weeks of watching me try (and fail) to tackle it on my own, my parents suggested it was probably time to hire a Wedding Coordinator that could help us. After reaching out to a few coordinators, Taryn quickly responded, and offered us the best package that would accomplish what we were looking for. She was efficient and friendly and I had zero reservations that we made the right choice. She notified me that Dani would actually be my Coordinator, but that she out on maternity leave and would take over upon her return. In the meantime, Taryn did a great job of getting things started and progressing us along. I can't say enough great things about Dani and Platinum Weddings. From the day she took over and we had our initial phone call, to the day we said, “I do”, she was incredible. She understood what our budget was, made suggestions to help us stay in that budget, and offered alternative when necessary. I never once stressed about anything because Dani was so on-top of all the details. Even the day of the wedding, we had some last-minute changes and it all fell together seamlessly. Everything that I could have ever imagined for our wedding day, she delivered, and then some! I would recommend Dani and the entire Platinum Wedding team to EVERYONE considering a wedding on Maui. I can’t think her enough for making our wedding day TRULY the best day of our lives!

We planned our wedding on Maui from New York City which we expected would come with some difficulties, but Taryn at PWE made sure that we got everything we wanted without any headache at all. Every single interaction was professional, comprehensive, and really fun. Taryn has such a calm and positive attitude, she made every question, request, and change of opinion seem like it was no issue at all. We had 2 venues for our celebration and her team of experts had the transition from one to the next executed perfectly. She thought of every single detail, including feeding us champagne in between family pictures (doesn't get better than that!). When people ask if any snafus happened at the wedding or if we would change anything, we always respond that literally everything went perfectly and we wouldn’t change a thing. That is completely due to Taryn and her team. xx

Amber and Platinum were absolutely fantastic! I couldn't have asked for anything more. Seriously, it was so good- people would asked if I was stressed wedding planning and I would have to say "no, it's actually been really great because of my planner." It seemed daunting planning a Maui wedding from Los Angeles, but with Platinum and Amber, it was such a great experience! Amber worked with our budget since it was pretty much always top of mind for me, she made sure to only put vendors in front of me that I had budgeted for (which I really appreciated). She helped me tie the entire vision together when I kept changing my mind and wasn't really sure what I wanted. AANDDD when it was projected to rain on my wedding day some how... not sure how... but she kept me calm. We had plan b and plan c backed up for the rain even when it was a beautiful day with no rain. :) I can't recommend PWE and Amber enough!

We had our wedding taken over by Platinum Weddings with Dani (less than 3 months before our wedding), after less than desirable situation we had begun with another wedding planner. My prayers were answered because her company was great at communicating (even with the 5 hour time difference) and did her best to advocate for us with our vendors. Her coordination of our wedding was fantastic, and her attention to detail was spot on! She and Taryn did everything in their power to make sure our wedding day was meticulous and it came together beautifully. Could not recommend a better company to work with planning a wedding from off the island.

I wanted a casual simple wedding. It was just me and my fiancé, no family was involved and everyone else I talked to in Hawaii while I was searching for a wedding planner acted like I was crazy until Danielle! She was so supportive from the absolute beginning and made me feel so comfortable with leaving her with planning my wedding. My wedding was literally perfect and exactly what we wanted casual, intimate and all about us. I also did not want a religious ceremony and it was done perfectly. If you are considering getting married in Maui I would HIGHLY recommend platinum weddings. I had nothing but amazing experiences.

Platinum Wedding and Events made planning our small beach wedding from Maine so easy! From my first email to the Big Day Amber and Taryn were attentive to all our needs! It truly felt like I had a friend planning our wedding! On our wedding day we had to make a last minute decision due to rain showers and Amber was amazing, staying with us for our photo shoot to hold umbrellas for us and the photographers! I would highly reccommend Platinum Wedding and Events no matter how big or small your wedding is!

I really enjoyed working with Taryn and Dani from PWE. They are very professional and quick to respond to all my questions and concerns. My wedding day was perfect and more beautiful then I had ever imagined. Our wedding was small and intimate, Taryn and Dani definitely understood what I was looking for. I thought I needed lights and linens to dress up the venue but Taryn suggested against it and I'm so glad I listened to her advice, because the venue was so gorgeous without them. The first time I saw the venue was on the day of the wedding (because I didn't have time to fly out there to look at it) and I was blown away. It really added to the magic of the day in my opinion. They booked our wedding ceremony's timing with the sunset without my asking...and it was absolutely the most romantic day ever as a result. Our venue was surrounded by lush tropical plants and trees and the sunset and ocean in the distance.They even helped us coordinate when we arrived at the venue so my groom (now husband)'s first look was when I walked down the aisle. Their preferred vendors were all fantastic and did a great job with the flowers, make up, and music (thank you Jimi!). Fred Torres, our officiant was so eloquent and did a fantastic job during the ceremony. We couldn't be happier with how well the wedding went. Thank you Taryn and Dani for making our wedding day the best day ever! I could recommend this wedding planner to any couple who wants to get married in Maui.

Working with Amber was amazing. She was very organized and answered all my questions, going above and beyond. We did a beach elopement with our blended family and the wedding was basically stress free - everything was planned out. There was actually a rare rainy day for our wedding and Amber had beautiful, coordinated umbrellas ready for us, making for some unique and beautiful photos. I couldn't be happier with Platinum's professionalism and service. Thank you so much Amber!

Taryn and her team were fantastic to work with! Taryn was so organized, quick to respond, and really helped guide the process of designing a destination wedding -- which can be a complex endeavor if you don't have the right resources. My wife and I are both designers -- so we are incredibly nit-picky over the smallest of details. Taryn was so accommodating, knew when to offer guidance, and knew precisely when to give us space. Without Taryn, organizing a destination wedding in Maui would have been near impossible. Her experience, recommendations, and Hawaiian know-how was really helpful. Thank you Taryn! Thank you Platinum Weddings! Having our friends and family on the beautiful island of Maui is something we will remember for the rest of our lives.

When we decided to elope in Maui I knew I would need some help. Platinum was caring and professional. They took care of everything and kept in contact with me along the way via email to fit into my busy life. Every detail was perfect!! Danielle even arranged for my hair and make up, rides, reservations. She presented wonderful choices for us to select from and made the process enjoyable and stress free. I can’t wait to get our pics back to frame the perfect day. Thank you again!!!

Taryn and her team are incredible! We had Amber as our wedding planner for our wedding at Olowalu Plantation Estate last week and everything went smoothly and they took care of everything. Never once was I worried about something going wrong because I knew Amber would take care of it - not that anything did! Or at least as far as I know... ;) They were extremely professional and helped guide us to what turned out to be an unforgettable event, all of our guests said it was one of the best weddings they had been to. Every vendor recommended by Platinum Weddings far surpassed our expectations. On the day of the wedding my husband and I got the opportunity to just enjoy time with our friends and family knowing that everything was handled. There were some hiccups along the way (none by the fault of Platinum Weddings) and they were handled very professionally, they never came to me with just a problem, but a problem and also a solution. Which I can totally appreciate. Thank you Taryn and Amber!

I cannot day enough positive things about our experience with Platinum Weddings and Events! My wedding was a complete dream, and the preparations leading up to the event were made fun because of Amber’s constant help and diligence. I could never imagine doing all of the planning myself, and would recommend Platinum Weddings to anyone who is even thinking of planning a wedding in Maui! Not only was the experience more organized because of Amber and Taryn but it was more fun! My fiancé and I were impressed by the seamless transitions and organization on our big day! They made sure we had everything we needed at all times. I never once felt confused, frantic, or overwhelmed. I truly appreciate all that Platinum Wedding & Events have done for us over this past year and a half and feel that I have gained some new friends!

My heart is absolutely full writing this review as it is well overdue and oh so deserved. My husband and I began planning our dream wedding nearly one year ago with Maui being our first big decision. We had met there only one year prior and it held such importance to us. Additionally, my husband is from Australia and myself the United States making it the perfect half-way point for friends and family traveling. Then came decision two: a wedding planner. While not our first decision, it was by far our best. Amber and Taryn made our dream a reality, from the place settings to the welcome sign, no detail was overlooked. I showed up knowing it would be a perfect day and it was. I could sit back, relax and enjoy my wedding day from start to finish. Amber you are a rockstar! You poured your heart and soul into our wedding and I am eternally grateful. I will always miss our weekly conversations but look forward to seeing you all next time we visit!

Planning a wedding itself is stressful, planning a wedding overseas is even more so! Amber was amazing and the entire process was simple! The details from the ceremony to the reception was exactly what i asked for and more! I am so thankful that Platinum Weddings & Events were involved with the entire planning of my big day as they allowed me to sit back and enjoy my wedding as the bride and groom are suppose to!

Amber did a great job coordinating our 25th vow renewal. It was a totally stress free day and everything was fantastic. We arrived in Maui from California, confirmed via email & on the day of the ceremony, it was all taken care of and all we had to do is get married...again ! Taryn and Amber always communicated right away and made the experience fun and special. I would highly recommend Platinum Weddings & Events for any wedding or vow renewal.
