having a timeline of how the wedding was going to go and what to expect. So grateful we went with Cherise. Best day of my Life!

ur special day, and so much of that joy is thanks to her. We first met Cherise by chance when we stopped by a wedding venue during our trip to Maui. We saw her setting up for a wedding that day and introduced ourselves, and she greeted us with kindness. We knew she was someone we’d want by our side when the time came and when we were finally ready to plan, choosing her was one of the easiest decisions we made. With over 20 years in the wedding planning industry and extensive local connections, Cherise brought invaluable expertise to every part of the process. She even found us the most beautiful villa for our family and closest friends to stay in. We were all so comfortable and having everyone together in one place gave us more time to connect and celebrate in the days leading up to the wedding. From the very beginning, Cherise’s calm and poised professionalism set the tone for our entire planning journey. She truly listened to our concerns and made every effort to make things work for us, always finding thoughtful solutions that aligned with our vision. She guided us through decisions big and small, and kept us grounded when we felt overwhelmed. The biggest benefit of working with her was the complete peace of mind she brought. Not only did she handle the logistics flawlessly but she made sure we actually enjoyed the process. On the wedding day, Cherise took care of everything allowing us to be fully present with our family, friends, and each other. There are moments from that day with her that we will cherish. She personally pinned the boutonnière on my husband which was a simple gesture but incredibly sweet. She was running the show and made him feel taken care of in a loving way. Another time was when my mom and I were about to take our first step down the aisle, I took a long pause to look at my husband while everyone was watching me and I heard Cherise gently say, “When you’re ready.” Her words were comforting during that overwhelming moment when a rush of emotions were happening all at once. If you’re lucky enough to work with Cherise, you’ll be in the best hands. She’s not just a planner, she’s a calm force, a steady guide, and someone who genuinely cares about making your day as beautiful and joyful as it can possibly be. Cherise, we truly couldn’t have done it without you. We are forever grateful for you. We hope we keep in touch!

my vision to Cherise and save hours searching and negotiating with vendors – Maui has a tight-knit wedding industry and it’s so much easier to work with a planner who has all the best connections! Every one of the vendors that I worked with was fabulous, and having Cherise coordinate schedules and details helped everything run smoothly the day of our wedding. One of my favorite parts of the wedding was meeting all of the local vendors – everyone is cool, has an interesting story, and loves making your day special! Cherise is great at what she does and has streamlined her process over the years to make it incredibly efficient for us, while taking into account all of the special requests that made our day perfect. Admittedly, we weren’t the best at timely responses, and Cherise kept us in line to make sure that she had everything she needed to execute perfectly – We appreciate her so much! To anyone considering whether to hire a planner, A Perfect Wedding is 100% worth the investment! It’s an honor to have your friends and family be there on your special day, and you want to make sure that everyone (including you) is able to relax and enjoy the day. Because of A Perfect Wedding, we knew that every little thing was taken care of and were truly able to have an incredible experience from the minute we arrived in Maui!

nges, plus the time difference, made planning a Maui wedding on our own feel nearly impossible. Even though we were familiar with the island, we needed someone on the ground to handle vendor coordination and logistics. Enter Cherise and The Perfect Wedding Maui—the best decision we could have made. The entire process with Cherise was seamless. Right from the start, she provided us with a detailed package outlining what to expect, how communication would work, and a clear timeline for vendor selections. When it came time to choose vendors, Cherise made it incredibly easy. Instead of overwhelming us with endless searches, she curated lists of options, complete with personal insights and direct links. She gave us the space to review everything and then checked in when it was time to decide. Her patience, organization, and gentle reminders kept us on track, even as we navigated major life events during the planning process. She was always understanding, never pushy, and made herself available for video calls whenever we needed. Despite having other clients, she made us feel like we were her only priority. We truly don’t know what we would have done without Cherise and The Perfect Wedding Maui. She exceeded every expectation we had. Her dedication and attention to detail ensured our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. To any couple considering hiring Cherise—do it. She is not just an amazing wedding planner; she is an amazing person who genuinely cares about her clients. She has a way of making you feel completely at ease, like the comforting feeling of a home-cooked meal. On our wedding day, Cherise and her team worked their magic, keeping everything on schedule while making sure we felt supported—without ever being overbearing. They seamlessly orchestrated the day, handling everything behind the scenes so effortlessly that it felt like they were invisible, yet everything ran perfectly. At one point, my wife started feeling sick, and within minutes, Cherise was there with lavender oils to calm her down. Ten minutes later, she was back with our guests, smiling and enjoying the night.

as the guiding force that ensured everything ran smoothly. We felt at ease with her at the helm on the wedding day as she was calm, composed and moving things along behind the scenes so we could enjoy the moment. Her ability to handle unexpected situations with grace was particularly impressive; when our original musician fell ill, Cherise swiftly arranged for a fantastic replacement, saving the day and keeping the festivities on track all while we were blissfully unaware. Her attention to detail, creativity, and organizational skills made our wedding not just perfect, but uniquely ours. We are immensely grateful for her contributions and highly recommend her services to any couple seeking a stress-free and memorable wedding experience. Thank you, Cherise, for making our dream wedding a reality!

ty measure. When we first began wedding planning, i didn't think Maui would be our final choice, it was more of an out of curiosity. When Cherise took us on a tour of the venues, we instantly fell in love with the location, Maui and the people. Despite having 2 years in between our meeting and the actual wedding date, Cherise was very kind and patience with us, especially when we had a billion questions about wedding planning, including logistics, day of events, and small details that we never thought are critical to a well planned wedding. We just want to give a shoutout and million thanks to Cherise, for making our dream wedding come true, without her help, a destination wedding will not be possible. Cherise eased my stress and really helped us fully vision the prefect wedding for us.

ing day, she was the consummate professional. Nothing was left to chance, down to the place card holder. Even when Mother Nature tried to blow my veil off during the wedding ceremony, she was there to secure it in place. And so kind. You cannot go wrong with Cherise.

ughter every step of the way - ideas were never dismissed and the perfect vendors were contacted to create the most beautiful wedding. I live on the east coast so my participation was by Zoom ....my husband and I always felt heard and when asked for clarification we never felt dismissed. Cherise's sense of humor was appropriate and created a relaxed atmosphere to do business in. The days leading up to the wedding were met with assurance that everything was set. My first in person meeting with her was at the rehearsal and I immediately felt that I didn't need to worry about a thing. Cherise is an excellent communicator and went over the plans for the upcoming event. The wedding day was amazing - Cherise was the leader of her team and it was magic to watch everyone create the space the way my daughter had envisioned. No detail was left out. During the reception, my daughter came to me and said -'this is the perfect wedding - I am so happy' And indeed the guests all agreed - this wedding was perfect. Not sure I could thank Cherise enough for making my daughters' dream come true.

rides: get a wedding planner. I am a project manager by trade and am very used to coordination and handling logistics, but there is so much about a wedding that I am so incredibly glad I left to the pros, which is where Cherise came in. At the beginning of the planning period, Cherise went above and beyond and coordinated and spent an entire day with us touring four different venues and chatting with us to figure out what exactly we envisioned for the wedding. The planning process was made so much easier with Cherise's years of experience and great working relationships with Maui vendors. On the day of the wedding, Cherise and her daughter, Mele, did an incredible job of handling all the details and EVERYTHING came out perfectly. The table settings, the tent, the food, the bar, all the florals, the sunset, the dance floor, it was all was beautiful, and my husband and I didn't have a single worry - Cherise handled it all. Thank you Cherise & Mele for an incredible wedding day!

d to a couple of planners and Cherise was far and away the easiest to work with. She was prompt, responsive, detail oriented, and super friendly. We never had to worry with Cherise because she was always on top of everything. When we had clear visions of things we wanted, she helped us make them real. When we had no clue about other aspects, she walked us through where to put our attention and helped us make decisions. She knew which details mattered and which didn't, which really helped us work through the planning process with minimal stress. She has great relationships with great vendors which makes everything so much easier. She was also very upfront and transparent about costs and budgets which helped a lot with decision making. Where Cherise went above and beyond, was when we had an unexpected family emergency 2 weeks prior to our wedding date. We made the tough decision to postpone the wedding and Cherise made it all work. She was upfront that it would be a challenge to get all our vendors to move, but somehow she was able to get them all and we were able to have the wedding we planned, just 6 months later. Oh and also she was incredibly caring and supportive through our tough time. The day of the wedding was almost surreal in how much of a dream come true it was. These aspects that we had talked about and shared ideas were real and live and even better than we could've imagined. She organized everything for the day and helped us with a light touch whenever we needed it. I feel like I've left out so many details on how great Cherise and The Perfect Wedding Maui is, but I could keep going on and on and on. We could not have done it without her and we simply couldn't recommend her more.

rdinator who spontaneously moved to another country a couple months before our wedding. Cherise had the challenge of coming into our wedding last minute and making sure it was pulled off without a hitch. And WOW did she deliver! We immediately felt like we were in absolutely capable hands after our first meeting with Cherise. Somehow she has both the warmth of a best friend and the undeniable professionalism and organizational skill of a high-end corporate lawyer. She made sure we were aware of every detail without making us feel overwhelmed and seamlessly took over communicating with our vendors and venue. When a last minute change of plans due to weather occurred, Cherise did not miss a beat. She communicated constantly via text and was able to create a back-up design and location that was EVEN BETTER than our original plan. She ran us through the entire plan in-person the day before and we felt so secure with her running the show. On the day of the wedding, Cherise was somehow everywhere, but never in a way that detracted for a moment from the wedding. She made sure to instruct us on all the little details that I’m sure go missed by less skilled planners. During a bit of rain on the wedding day, we came up from pictures to find our dinner set-up had been completely shifted over a few feet to be under cover. It was honestly as though it happened by magic. For someone to have made such a strong impression after only a month and a few meetings, you know she is fantastic. Please do not hesitate to book her immediately for your wedding. You will absolutely not be disappointed.

ge/experience to advise us throughout the wedding planning process. The wedding day went smoothly and exceeded expectation, due largely to Cherise's planning and support.

ent and helped to recommend the best location that I could ask for. What's great about Cherise is that she really listens to what we need and then works with us to find the solution. The budget sheet was easy to understand and for areas where we needed help making a decision, Cherise just made it work. Highly highly recommend and we cannot thank her enough!

mpted to reach out to multiple planners and hotels and didn't know what to expect. Cherise was the only planner that responded promptly, kindly and everything from that first contact was easy and professional. Cherise worked within our budget and our non conventional requests and on the day everything went as smooth as possibly could be. We stuck to our budget and did not lack anything that we asked for. To add this, we had our wedding delayed twice for over 2 years because of COVID and throughout this process Cherise still worked with us, checked up regularly with us and managed to reschedule and re-book everything with all the vendors. Cherise has a great understanding of the vendors and options in Maui. We trusted her with her suggestions and I'm thankful that we did. Everything from the venue, photos, food and music was unknown to us before arrival and I was blown away with how well everything worked out. If you're looking to get married in Maui I highly recommend working with Cherise at ThePerfectWeddingMaui. She caters for all and will work with you to set up what you want.

ll thanks to Cherise! My now husband and I both grew up on Maui, but we currently live on Oahu. So we knew that we needed some help coordinating with vendors if we wanted to have it on Maui. ESPECIALLY during Covid! That’s where Cherise stepped in. She just took care of everything! She is so experienced and is super knowledgeable about so many Maui wedding vendors! Not to mention she is just the sweetest person ever! Cherise will think of all the small details and made sure that we had everything covered. We had some little ones attending and I didn’t even think about high chairs until Cherise mentioned it! There were also so many times I would go back and forth on my decisions and Cherise was super patient and was always understanding. I never felt like I was being an inconvenient because she understands just how important it is to have the wedding we dreamed of. Words can’t express how grateful I am to have had Cherise part of the planning process. When the big day came, she took care of everything. I didn’t stress out about what was going on that day because I knew I could trust everything to Cherise. To this day, our family and friends always compliment and rave about how perfect everything was. From the flowers, to the rentals, to the food etc. I highly highly recommend her! She’s honestly the best and you’ll definitely love working with her! Thank you Cherise for helping us create the perfect Maui wedding!! 🥰

and then hire a coordinator. Once we locked in our location in Maui, we asked the venue and some locals friends to give us a list of coordinators they preferred. The Perfect Wedding + Cherise stood out (with flying colors). When my husband + I first met Cherise at Olowalu Plantation House, she reminded me a lot of my mom. I know that sounds kind of funny but I was looking for a coordinator that was going to really fight for our wedding vision, had a lot of experience and a solid vendor list while also keeping us within our our budget and settling our nervous hearts being on the mainland in California. I can confidently say that Cherise was literally one of my favorite vendors I've had the pleasure to communicate with. So many people told me how daunting it would be to plan a destination wedding but I can confidently say I really miss the planning process and getting to chat with Cherise. It was so fun and easy. From the moment you book, you get the package giving you a full breakdown of what to expect and how this process is going to look... for my type A brides this was a dream to get. Getting a wedding coordinator is quite literally the most important part of the process and I do not recommend trying to plan a wedding without one. From start to finish, Cherise was organized and provided a quick turn around time in response time. We had so many email chains with so many different vendors, it just really spoke to her professionalism... You have to remind yourself that you're not their only bride but she made me feel like I was. From the overall outline of the wedding, timeline, and vendors to the nitty gritty details she provided options to choose from as well as a couple of preferences from previous brides, etc so you didn't feel too overwhelmed with choices. We had a few video calls to discuss each big step in the process. One of my favorite little touches was Cherise asked us to make a Pinterest vision board and then we broke down each section of the board when it came to florals, decor, the aisle, etc. I was so excited to see it all come together. So when we had our BIG DAY, Cherise gave me some lavender oil to help calm me down because I was so nervous! 2 years of planning and it's all happening right now! After I got into my dress, I remember her coming to me and saying, "Remember, this is YOUR day. You get to decide how the timeline goes and what you want to do." she was doing the absolute most in those 6 hours of the wedding, only coming up to us when necessary and moving us right along through out the night, making adjustments to the timeline as needed/communicating with vendors but she did it with such elegance and grace that I didn't even notice as a bride and really just got to soak in the day. I feel really lucky as a 2022 bride. I see a lot of people on social media saying their regrets and such about planning, their vendors or even their big day but I just can't really relate to that. I truly believe that your vendors can make or break your wedding, just like your coordinator can make or break your excitement and Cherise made sure that the day was about my husband and I. Trust me when I say it is worth the investment to have a solid coordinator and you will not be disappointed with Cherise.

ing a destination wedding it can be really difficult not being in the place to see the planning process and maybe not be as involved as you would like to be. Cherise made this sooo easy for us and so stress free! Everything was extremely organized and she made sure we were always meeting our deadlines. I would send her pictures and ideas of what I liked and she did the rest. I honestly did not feel an ounce of stress... well besides when we thought Maui was shutting down again from Covid. But even then, Cherise was right by our side making us feel at ease and that we were going to make it work. Once we got there everything worked out perfectly! We had our rehearsal the day before and Cherise was there making sure everything went smoothly. If something looked off with the bridesmaids and groomsmen she would even work with the photographer to make sure it would be a great shot. The day of was incredible!! I was sooo nervous and before going down the aisle Cherise stopped me and had me take a deep breath and that helped ease the nerves a ton! I had no idea what to expect. All I knew were the pictures I sent to Cherise of what I wanted and it was so much more than I could have ever imagined. From the flowers to the signs to the center pieces, everything was perfect! All of the vendors were phenomenal and exceeded all of our expectations. I could not imagine our day going any better thanks to everything Cherise did for us! We had the most perfect wedding and I will forever be grateful to this amazing woman and the company she has built! I hope this helps and you don't have to look any further because this is your wedding planner!! Thank you Cherise!!!

he special requirements we needed due to added restrictions. It was stressful trying to plan from the mainland but Cherise made us feel confident that everything would work out fine and had alternate plans just incase. She listened to what we wanted the day to feel and look like and created the most amazing space. It was better than we had anticipated! She took to our idea of the ambiance we were looking for and brought it all to life. She never pushed anything on us and was always there to support or give suggestions when needed. We fully trusted her opinions and we weren't disappointed. I would gladly do it all again with her by our side. On the day she was silently running the show and everything went off without a hitch. She was so kind and patient also with our rehearsal as we were trying to figure out some choreography for our flower brigade. She was making everything happen so seamlessly and we had the most amazing experience on our wedding day it felt like we were in a movie. I definitely would recommend Cherise to everyone and anyone who is looking to plan the perfect wedding!!! We will never forget it!

ng covid!), but Cherise quickly put us at ease and planned the most beautiful day for us! She recommended great vendors and was fantastic at keeping everything organized. She is also so sweet and patient and was a joy to work worth leading up to the big day. Our wedding day was a dream come true and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her :)

culous! Even after we had to postpone she was understanding and made our day go off without even the slightest hiccup. I wish I could do it all over again with her. If your dream is a destination Maui wedding, trust me you can't do it without Cherise! She is a must.

some ago. So this review is maybe a little bit more matter of fact regarding what it takes to create a Maui destination wedding that is a peak life experience for the guests as well as the bride and groom. Cherise is a detailed, intuitive listener who knows how to make the recommendations and plans that will create the memorable experience you want. She handles complexity of detail flawlessly. She clearly has exceptionally strong relationships with the vendors you will be using, and it was obvious that those vendors perform well for her. Her recommendations are deep. That is, if a first choice caterer or florist or photographer or makeup artist or whatever you need doesn't happen to be available on your specific date, her list of preferred vendors is deep with talent and high quality. So if first choice isn't available, it pretty much doesn't matter. She has thoroughly vetted the people who are on her list. There appears to be a very high degree of respect for Cherise evident in the performance of all vendors. Her coordination and management of vendors is on time, accurate, and invisible in terms of impacting the bride and groom on wedding day. So even though our wedding was quite some time ago, it still feels like magic today. And what is completely extraordinary in the outcome of our wedding experience is this--during my final dress fitting on the Mainland, approximately 5 days before the ceremony, I found out that a venue I had selected for the reception was going to be impossible for us to use. To be clear, this venue had been MY choice and was MY mistake and had nothing to do with Cherise's recommendations. Cherise did not panic when I made my panicked phone call to her. With just five days to go, she was able to leverage her relationships with venues to book an alternative site for us that was not only just fine, it was way better than my original idea/site. It was an epic save that without her expertise would have become an awkward disaster instead of the fully life-altering magical wedding it became. I am sure there are other good wedding planners on Maui. However, I don't see how there would be one as good as Cherise Shulman. As you are dreaming of your wedding, it can only happen if you have a planner with a lot of experience, talent, and strong vendor relationships, with the capability to bring all the practical elements together on time and with great quality. That is what The Perfect Wedding Maui does. As other reviewers have mentioned, the vendors all say that Cherise Shulman is the best on the island.

d The Perfect Wedding was on all the wedding planner lists for our favorite venue. Cherise had a very detailed timeline of what decisions needed to be made and through out the entire process we were both in shock at how easy it was to plan every detail. Cherise met with us several times over ZOOM to ease any concerns we had as we got closer to the wedding. The big day was fantastic, it was everything we could of dreamed of. Without seeing the venue or any of the details in person we were both a little nervous but Cherise truly made every Pinterest board that we sent her come to life! Haha

s organized and on track without it feeling overwhelming. She is very experienced, personable, great at communication and highly skilled at turning vague ideas in to something spectacular! It felt like she genuinely cared about making our wedding perfect for us, it wasn’t just a job for her. Every vendor we spoke to, when we mentioned we were working with Cherise, said she is the best on the island! She made our day wonderful, and every guest talked about how it was the best wedding they have attended! If you have the opportunity to hire Cherise—do it! You will not be disappointed!

dn't even think of or consider. Cherise expertly guided us through every step of the way. She had excellent suggestions and ideas for every single thing we asked of her and was so patient and helpful as we changed our minds and plans. We never would have found our perfect venue without her. On our actual wedding day, she ensured everything went off without a hitch- and even went out of her way to hand deliver flowers for my hair. She is an awesome wedding planner who can really bring your wedding vision to life, and a wonderful person. I highly suggest her for anyone who wants a beautiful wedding in Maui!

amazing, perfect wedding thanks to the incredible planning skills of Cherise. I couldn't have asked for a more magical wedding, our guests agreed it was one of the best they'd ever attended. Despite having to move our wedding 2x (from May 2020 to October 2020, to May 2021) and having to change venues, it turned out better than I could have imagined. Cherise was great at communication, so organized, and very methodical, which made the entire wedding flow seamlessly. I felt very relaxed and was able to actually enjoy the day without any stress because Cherise had it all handled. Being a designer, I can easily get caught up in the details, but Cherise totally understood the natural, casual beach vibe we were going for and made the best recommendations. She had helpful input on all the vendors and was super transparent about budget and pricing. She had insightful PDFs to help not only the bride and groom but also the guests navigating COVID. There are details I never would have thought about that would cause most brides added stress in the days leading up to their wedding, but I was able to fully enjoy my time in Maui given how well planned it was in advance. Cherise is so sweet and calm, you can feel her positive, genuine energy from the moment you first talk with her. She was always very responsive and made us feel like a priority even during a very busy wedding season in Maui. She's there from the start of the wedding until the end and on the entire time. Now that our wedding is done, I miss my calls with Cherise, she's the best :) Any couple who works with her is so lucky!

knew that I wanted a wedding planner from the start. I reached out to several wedding planners and Cherise stood out to me because she was so kind, patient with my questions, and made me feel like the wedding of my dreams was within reach and possible with the budget I set. While other wedding planners brushed me off, said my dream wedding was unrealistic, or simply did not respond to my inquiries at all, Cherise provided a wealth of information and guidance before I had even officially hired her. We got engaged in July 2019 and planned for a wedding in June 2020. We communicated with Cherise through email, phone calls, and Zoom meetings. Cherise made the whole process a breeze. Then COVID hit and everything was up in the air. We didn’t know what to do. Restrictions shifted from day to day and we thought this wedding may never happen, but Cherise stuck by us through it all. We ended up planning a whole new wedding complete with a different venue and a new guest list. An incredibly stressful situation was made so much easier and I truly do not know what we would have done without Cherise. Ultimately, Cherise helped us plan the perfect wedding (twice) and we finally got married in January 2021. It was everything I could have ever dreamed of and more. The coordination on the day of the wedding was flawless. Our wedding day was beautiful and exceeded every expectation. I was in awe to see it come together as it did. Thank you for everything, Cherise! You are simply the best and we can’t thank you enough for making our wedding dreams come true!

ly recommends us the best vendors in Maui. We love her genuine advice and how she went above and beyond to help us plan the best wedding ever. Although due to the crazy pandemic, we had to change our plan last minute, Cherise was always patient and helped us figure out the best Plan B, Plan C... We can't say enough about our appreciation for her wonderful services. Would highly recommend anyone to hire Cherise for your big day, because, SHE REALLY MAKES PERFECT WEDDINGS HAPPEN!

back to Maui. We still decided to have a wedding planner for our day because she was so easy to work with and asked questions I didn't even think of for the day. She made the day seamless and took off all the stress from everything a wedding day intel's. I love that she has had many years of experience and a level of professionalism. She works with your budget and style! You can trust every step with her and know your day will be the Perfect Wedding day!

of help. My husband and I spoke to a few different wedding coordinators but quickly decided that Cherise was the perfect choice. Her enthusiasm for her job came through on our first phone call, and her experience could not be beat. We’re still blown away by how much support and help The Perfect Wedding provides for such a reasonable price. Cherise went above and beyond what we expected from a coordinator. She held our hands through every step and was very patient with all of our indecisiveness around settling on some of the details. She responded quickly via email and we never once worried that anything was falling through the cracks. Because Cherise has experience on the island, she has relationships with all the major vendors and was able to help narrow down choices for us based on what we wanted to spend and what we envisioned for the event. When I showed her pictures from Pinterest of flowers or other decor, she made sure the items were either replicated or altered to fit my requests. And when it came to the big day, Cherise and her team handled every last detail. I almost felt like a guest at my own wedding because I wasn’t worried about anything! Cherise allowed my husband and I to be present during the day rather than having to be preoccupied by details, which was an incredible gift for which we’ll always be grateful. Because of Cherise, we were able to enjoy the wedding planning process and, more importantly, the big day. Our friends and family were amazed at how calm we remained during all of it, which was only due to our total confidence in Cherise and her team. We highly recommend Cherise and the Perfect Wedding.

ere looking at recommended Cherise as she was incredible to work with throughout the entire planning process from our initial venue visit to Olowalu Plantation House to making sure everything went exactly to timeline and as planned during our wedding day itself! To echo other reviews, planning a destination wedding and having to make many key decisions from a distance can definitely be hard, but Cherise helped make this process as easy as possible from recommending an excellent set of vendors to translating my Pinterest inspiration boards and vague descriptions into reality to create my dream wedding from a design perspective. Cherise also did an excellent job of keeping us on track with our planning so we never fell behind, but at the same time managed to do so in way that kept us from ever feeling too stressed or rushed on any decisions, which is impressive especially because I'm a natural procrastinator. Cherise is also one of the nicest and most genuine people I've ever met and she truly went above and beyond in ensuring that our wedding really was perfect in every way. Just one example of the many throughout the process - my husband and I held off until a few days before our wedding on deciding to get a tent to protect against the rain (if you're getting married in the winter we definitely wouldn't recommend this), at which time there were very few large enough tents for our group available on the island. Not only did Cherise find one for us, but she somehow secured a clear-top tent for us day-of and made our wedding day set-up look even better than it would've without the tent. All in all, if you're looking for a planner for an upcoming wedding on Maui, we really can't recommend Cherise enough, and her pricing is great considering the level of service you'll get!

got closer we realized many small details needed to be done & it added some stress to us. Cherise made all that stress go away. Sending emails & making phone calls back & forth to Cherise always made us feel better knowing she had done this many times before & knew what was best. Cherise did a great job setting up phone calls various times throughout the engagement to ensure we were on the same page when it came to the planning. We talked 1 year, 6 months, 3 months, 1 month and 2 weeks before the wedding. She was present at the rehearsal to help all wedding party and families know what to do for the wedding ceremony. She answered all all our questions with ease and confidence. A week before the wedding, she met with my family to go over details and on the wedding day day, her & her team did all setup and all clean up--- this made it SO incredible for our families so we could enjoy the day! She is 100% worth the extra cost and the best party planner on the island!

ient and understanding woman I have ever met! From when I first contacted Cherise, she was genuinely excited to get to know my fiancé and me. She always took the time to answer questions or explain a process. It certainly was a major bonus that she’s very well connected in the industry, too. My other vendors even sang her praises! Cherise was not only able to bring my vision to life on the big day, but she surpassed all expectations! From every detail and placement, it was indeed “perfect”. Even our guests adored Cherise and her daughter; they are the absolute sweetest. We will forever be grateful for finding The Perfect Wedding Maui. Thank you so so much, Cherise!
