Tropical Maui Weddings

ns had to be carefully planned. And Sherron made everything perfect and worked so well with me being on the other side of the world. She made me feel very taken care of. It was worth every penny for 7-star service leading up to and on my wedding day. They are organized in a way I have never seen before in the weddings I’ve been a bridesmaid in. All of my guests were very impressed and absolutely loved the team. Everyone has repeatedly told me it was the nicest wedding they have ever been to and trust Sherron to guide you there. We had 70 guests and maybe 25 staff, and everyone was blown away by the level of service. Food and drinks being brought out to guests at their seats. And Sherron was so great, for example when photos are being taken she was asking what we needed (food/drinks) making suggestions because your brain barely works on your wedding day, and instantly water, drinks, appetizers were brought to where we were standing. At the last minute I realized my veil wasn’t on before walking down the aisle, her team member dropped everything and ran back to the house to find it, stuck it in my hair and sent me down the aisle. The whole team talks on these little radios in their earpiece so things happen as soon as you ask. It was really above anything I expected. Another thing, my mustard yellow dinner napkins didn’t get delivered on Amazon in time and Sherron made it happen and I was honestly expecting these coral colored ones we discussed as a backup and magically there were mustard yellow napkins on the wedding day. It was magical with the aerial artists, the chandeliers, the table settings. We went with craft cocktails and the mai tais came in a beautiful clear tiki glass. The whiskey/scotch/bourbon bar was a huge hit, no bottle was left behind there. DJ Del kept the party dancing all night (no slow songs) until it ended in a full blown huge jumping and dancing bash. The food was served by sugar beach catering and it was top tier. Everyone absolutely loved the food. Every vendor we chose Sherron single handedly guided us to them, communicated our needs to them, and helped make the execution perfect. Worth every penny and wouldn’t change a thing. It was the perfect day.

husband-to-be. I really wanted Lori to marry us but due to other circumstances she was unable to...at least that is what I thought. Lori, Jamie and my husband masterminded this surprise over a 2- year timeframe (mainly due to pandemic). Lori and Jamie traveled from Maui to Iowa. The night before the wedding, we were taking out our hosts for dinner. You got it...Lori appeared and yes, I couldn't stop crying. Lori not only married us but helped me with my make-up, flowers, hair, my stupid shoes (thankfully, Lori had grabbed my sandals), photos, etc... She was perfect touch to my perfect day. AND to top it all off, Jamie sang my favorite song plus entertained our guests. It was a perfect...I still tear up thinking about it. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day.

get around to shop for different wedding planners because Sherron was just that good! Being the first and only one we talked to and we knew already we didn’t need to look no further. We worked with Sherron for 2 1/2 years due to COVID but we never had a question or concern they couldn’t address. At each step of the way Sherron made sure it was in our best interest. She helped me narrow down my million mismatched ideas into a dream vision. Her response and problem solving skills were also lightening fast! Hands down I would recommend any family and friends that are looking to get married in Maui to work with Tropical Maui Wedding. I can’t wait to plan my vow renewals with them!!!!

and Tropical Maui Weddings.

28; the Category 5 Hurricane Lane in late Aug 2018 that hovered in front of the Big Island and creating a ton of storm rain for Maui. We were closely watching the news and weather channel, and keeping in constant touch with Lori, who provided so much frequent real-time info and reassurance as the days neared, what it was like on Maui with Hurricane Lane slamming the islands and not leaving! We were the last flight out of the Bay Area, (and Canada). All our family and friends had their flights cancelled, except those coming from Australia who were already in the air - all rebooked 36hours later, thankfully. Lori and team were organizing and conducting weddings successfully, but Hurricane Lane, not leaving or moving more than 2mph, battered Maui harder. Inquiring with Lori about possibly moving our wedding from Tue to Wed 29Sep, she - calm, knowledgeable, reassuring and resourceful as always - juggling an increasing amount of changes and rescheduling weddings that were being upended, said she would get back with us within 2 hours!! She did. And with news that our Olowalu location and all the vendors were holding Tue & Wed available for us. Wow! Right?! Incredible! We chose Wed immediately. Lori had it arranged within another hour with all the vendors and Olowalu. Just Incredible! We were so thankful. Some weddings on the island were cancelled due to Hurricane Lane, and on Tue 28Sep, the fires that sparked in Lahaina, consumed 9 homes. (and I believe extinguishing one life!) It was heartbreaking. Wildfires during a Cat5 Hurricane?! How?! Lori and her team were amazing - what they all had to deal with; cancelations, rescheduling possibilities, managing and coordinating vendors and wedding locations, stressed out brides & grooms, including us. Lori and Tropical Maui Weddings are worth every dollar! Lori also helped us immensely by offering up the wedding decorations she has available from previous weddings that she's collected over the years, that we could chose from. And we did! Our decorations were perfect! All from her collection. It was very endearing to spend so much time with Lori, her husband Jamie at their house choosing everything and finalizing decisions. We were made to feel like family - they made our entire wedding planning, wedding ceremony, and reception, an amazing experience. At no point did it feel like we just had a Project Manager plan our wedding and reception - we had an empathic, personable, capable expert who can clearly manage multiple projects wit the same personable touch and care, attention to details, that make all the difference. And she is very familiar with Olowalu, which also gave us confidence we had the right planner. Jamie also is an incredible musician who we had play at our wedding and also ran the music at our reception - above and beyond! Amazing! It was clear we needed Jamie to help us successfully manage the music and equipment and proved to be the right call. We have such incredible memories from our improbable wedding that almost didn't happen. We love Lori, Jamie, Sherry who made a seemingly impossible wedding, possible and magnificent! Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, or want to conduct a reference for their capabilities.

asy and worry-free. I really felt like I could trust Lori with all the details to make everything work well and look amazing. Her communication was great as she was always quick to answer emails especially in the last few weeks leading up to our wedding. My husband and I both felt like Lori and her team really wanted to make our day special and to accommodate all of our needs. All of the vendors Lori recommended were also fantastic. I didn’t have a clear picture of what I wanted but by following TMW and some of their favorite vendors on Instagram, we were able to put together an idea of how we wanted everything to look. Lori and her team then made it all a reality on our big day! Our guests loved everything, especially the venue (Olowalu Plantation House) and drinks (Aloha Bars Maui). We honestly have no complaints about our experience and would definitely recommend Tropical Maui Weddings!!

, and officiants. Any questions we had they would answer immediately. Very attentive. I would totally recommend them! Mahalo! Love is sent your way🤙💗💖

/Tech guy/Strong arms for all the handy work), and Sherron (the daughter/ the social media guru/creative lady). Lori and her team made the wedding planning and wedding day smooth and easy! There was no way to plan for the wedding as my husband are I both located in California. It is often difficult to trust someone to manage one of the biggest moments in life. However, as I got to know Lori through her short stories about herself, her family, and her vendors. I started to become more comfortable and confident with this company! Prior to arriving to Maui, Lori and I have spent months exchanging emails on vendors, decorations, and everything in between. She was attentive and offered straightforward perspective. She is also very knowledgeable with pricing and vendors. Upon arrival in Maui, Lori and her team met my family and husband. We went through everything. She was thorough and thoughtful. She also baked some good cookies for our meeting. This company has an extensive storage that is full of goodies to use for the wedding. To name a few - plate settings, tables settings, candles, signs, baskets, and tea sets. I can go on and on, she has so much, and I can honestly say that saved so much on not having to buy these items. Lori handled large and small crises like a pro! I texted her that I needed a lint roller that morning for the groom. That same afternoon when I walked into the bridal suite and a lint roller was sitting on the chair. One of our family members had a sick toddler the night before the wedding and needed a specific diet. Lori immediately contacted the food vendor and made the changes happened three hours before the ceremony. I would call that flexibility and top-notch customer services! We didn’t get to try our wedding food or meet any of our other vendors prior to the wedding because my husband and I did not have the time to travel to Maui. So, we really had to trust Lori’s words and she delivered on her words! All the vendors were amazing! Although TMW does not advertise this as their slogan, I personally witnessed and experienced first-hand that they are customer-centered and customer-focused! This meant they met us where we were at including our needs and budget. TMW was honest and did not tried to up sell products that I did not needed. TMW laid out all my options so that I can pick and choose based on my own budget. They were worked hard to keep within my budget. Side note: We came during the Maui fire in early October 2019 and were displaced for a night. We ended up staying with our relative in Kihei. But Lori, without hesitations offer her spare bedrooms to us! I was so taken by her generosity and her kindness! To summarize, this company focuses on love and family, which I think are of the two of most important things any wedding needs. I can’t say enough about this family and their commitment at making one of the most important day of our lives into one of the most memorable day of our lifetime. Thank you TMW!

eft our event without words. The little details were taken care of without me needing to worry or get involved. Lori had every single thing taken care of which allowed me to enjoy the day and take in all the special moments of it stress free. Everyone asks me what part of my wedding was the best and I always say my wedding planner. This team deserves all of the recognition possible because they do their job and more. To Lori’s husband Jaime with his amazing voice and her girls working behind the scenes, nobody could ask for a better group. Thank you Lori and TMW for everything you did for us! You guys have made our first steps into marriage effortless.

made my wedding stress free and literally perfect. All of the guests enjoyed it and so did I. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I will always suggest tropical Maui weddings to everyone!

ori and Jamie of Tropical Maui Weddings. I was never the girl that put a lot of thought into my wedding years before it actually happened. Planning a Hawaiian wedding from Texas seemed completely overwhelming. Luckily, my mother came across the TMW website and was surprised to see a message written from her favorite author, Lavyrle Spencer. She is a close friend of the owners, Jamie & Lori Lawrence, and in the message describes Jamie's beautiful singing voice. Of course, my mother looked him up. She was so impressed she immediately sent me a link. I drove in tears as I listened to Jamie sing Bonnie Rait's "Feels Like Home". This song was perfect and I was immediately smitten. I filled out the online form as soon as I got home that Friday afternoon. Sunday, I received a call from "Makawao, HI". I spent the next hour talking to what felt like a long lost friend. Her name was Lori Lawrence of TMW and our connection was immediate. I had spoken with other planners and always felt less than inspired. Lori understood where I was in life and eased every worry. I got off the phone that day and Justin asked who I had been talking to because he could have sworn it was a girlfriend from college. By the end of July I had no less than 10 emails from Lori each with a different vendor category in the subject. The emails were filled with options, packages and pricing details for each. I love that Lori provided all the information without trying to sway my opinion. She allowed me to ask questions and would provide honest feedback. I knew with her many years of experience that she would never lead me down the wrong path. Our comfort with the decision to hire TMW was further solidified after traveling to meet the team in person. My mother and I bonded with them so much during that trip we felt as if we were leaving family upon our return to Texas. The months leading up to the wedding are full of decisions, but Lori is with you every step of the way. We wanted the destination experience, but didn't want to forgo decorative touches that seemed impossible. Once again, Lori has that covered. She has a super secret room in her home that is FULL of frames, candles, signs, easels, place card holders, fans....etc. All of this is included in TMW services. It allows you to have a perfectly curated wedding that matches your personality. Leaving the coordination to anyone else would have caused me great stress, but knowing Lori was on the job allowed me to send some inspiration photos, reply to her emails and relax. I can honestly say my biggest concern the week before the big day was what to pack for 2 weeks in HI and not the wedding itself. I had full confidence in the TMW team and they pulled off the most beautiful, special, fun-filled day. Jamie impressed everyone with his beautiful voice. Sherron and Lori made everything flow seamlessly. All Justin and I had to worry about was enjoying the time with our guests. I've delayed writing this review because I wasn't quite sure how I could describe TMW in a way that conveyed how wonderful they are. If you are planning a Maui wedding, I beg you to consider TMW. They will create for you the most beautiful, stree-free Best Day Ever.

of the other companies made me feel as special. Lori just wanted to know about my vision whether I hired her or not. By the end of our first call I knew she understood my vision perfectly. When I finally met Lori and Sherron the week of my wedding, it was like I was meeting old friends. I never expected to be as relaxed as I was 3 days before my wedding but they had everything covered. Literally everything! We had the most amazing wedding. Our guests are still talking about it 6 months later. We are so thankful for Lori and her team!

will be hiring them again for our vowel renewals. If you want the perfect wedding I absolutely recommend that you hire Tropical Maui Weddings!!

The vendors that Lori works with are amazing! We were very satisfied with all of the vendors we used. She is very organized and you don’t have to worry about anything the day of the wedding, Lori has it handled! What I think is super sweet is that Tropical Maui Weddings is family run, with Lori, her husband Jamie, and daughter Sherron. They are all very genuine people with great hearts. If you chose to use Tropical Maui Weddings to help plan your wedding, you will not be disappointed!

orever be thankful for everything they did. My wife and I are from Southern California and when looking for a wedding planner we needed someone who we could trust and count on to be our eyes and ears on Maui. Lori was patient with us throughout the entire process and always made us feel at ease. We couldn’t have picked a better wedding planner. Lori was quick to answer all of our questions at any time. She has a huge surplus of decorations left over from previous weddings that my wife and I took full advantage of. This was a big help since we were coming from California and shipping stuff was pretty expensive. My wife and I wanted a small and intimate wedding that everyone would remember. We wanted our guests to have an experience and see why we both fell in love with Maui. Without Lori and her team I don’t think we could have done it. Lori made all of our guests feel welcome and at ease. Lori was more like an Auntie by the end of our entire experience. Lori has a great relationship with all of the vendors and that showed throughout our planning process. We had great vendors who all raved about Lori and how great of a job she and her team do. My wife and I HIGHLY recommend TMW and hope everyone who decides to get married on Maui will have the same experience as we did. Lori and her team are absolutely the best!

perfect wedding planner to make sure that my wedding day was everything that I dreamed of. We chose to have an intimate wedding ceremony on the beach, which was perfect. But I've seen TMW put together large wedding ceremonies and receptions as well. They really work to put together YOUR DREAM. Lori is so down to earth and her response time to emails/phone calls is phenomenal. Wedding planning is so stressful and Lori took so much of that stress off of my shoulders. She was so flexible when I made last minute decisions/changes to the wedding. She has connections to the best vendors on the island. Our vendors included Jennifer and Fredrick (with Marbelle) for photo/video, Lois for our florist, Donna and Randall (with MAB) for hair/makeup, and Pastor Laki. The vendors were amazing and it is all thanks to Lori for connecting me with all of them. I have to brag about Jamie as well. We had him sing a couple of songs for us during our wedding ceremony. His voice is honestly the voice of an angel! His music now holds a special place in our hearts as the soundtrack to our wedding. We even had the pleasure of having him sing for our first dance as a married couple. A couple of days before the wedding Lori invited us to her home to review the details of the wedding day. She had everything planned out to the minute, which for a Type A perfectionist like myself was great! She had everything covered that you could possibly think of. Lori and Jamie really made us feel like ohana (family). Lori has a ton of props and decorations that you can borrow for the wedding as well, which is lifesaving and made for some fun pictures. On our wedding day Lori was the superhero behind the scenes. She worked all day to make sure that everything was perfect so that I could focus on getting ready for the wedding. I owe TMW everything for putting together such a beautiful wedding for us. If I had to go back and do it all over again I would not change a thing. Thank you Lori, Jamie, and Sherron for EVERYTHING. We love and miss you. We can't wait to go back to Maui, we may just have to stop by and say hello! MAHALO

st reached out to us, not only were calm and professional - but earnest and respectful to all the questions and concerns we both had. You consistently followed up with deadlines, feedback, and kept the ball moving forward on planning. When we arrived to plan the wedding’s final details you sat us down for hours and helped us decide on how to make the day even better through additional unique items placed throughout our venue. Your father had an amazing voice and our photographer really went the extra mile to make Amy feel like a star! I really can’t knock the group on anything - all checks and smiles from both of us. :) Thank you so much Sherron and Team!!!

nal touch definitely makes our wedding look better. She gave us honest options on the vendors we chose and coordinated with the vendors to make sure they show up on time. Her Dad Jamie is definitely our favorite singer in our wedding, our guests were super impressed. Our wedding was so perfect and we couldn't have done it without Sherron and her team.

eason. The TMW team works seemlessly together and everything went smooth on our wedding day. TMW as well as all the vendors we worked with through their recommendations were all so easy-going and it felt like a family. Everything was beyond our expectations! We are so glad we chose Tropical Maui Weddings!

ori told me both her and Sherron got married at my venue (Olowalu), from that point on, I was sold. They helped me to secure the best vendors and worked around my crazy work schedules to include me and my husband every step of the way. They really treat you like a family. They know the island inside and out and they have incredible connections with the vendors. Bonus points they even let you borrow last min decorations from their storage, which makes our wedding photos look even more amazing! Unlike other vendors who charge a fee as a percentage of all expenses, TMW charged a flat rate, which is awesome because they always helped me to choose the best vendors that fit into my budget. All in all, I can't say enough great things about Sherron, Lori, Jamie and their beautiful family business! I am incredibly lucky to have you on my big day!

t interview was with Lori Lawrence from Tropical Maui Weddings. After spending more than an hour with her on the phone (as we live in MN), we knew she was THE ONE for us! Her personality was radiant and she offered us a sense of ease as we moved forward with the wedding planning process. Lori listened to our vision, and made sure that each detail was meticulously followed through. She offered guidance upon decision making, and because she lives on the island and works with many of the vendors on a weekly basis, was able to give us her opinion when needed. Lori kept our budget in mind the whole time, and was a GOD SEND! Upon meeting her in Hawaii, we knew then that we couldn’t have made our dream wedding come alive without her and the TROPICAL MAUI WEDDINGS team. They truly treat your like family and made not only the wedding planning process a breeze, but the day itself. We are incredibly grateful to have met her and TMW. LOOK NO FURTHER! You’ve got the complete package here with TMW!
