Vida Chic Weddings and Events

wedding in Hawaii from California seemed impossible. My fiancé and in-laws took a trip to Hawaii a year prior to our wedding. Chavah was referred to us by our venue manager, and I’m so glad she did. From day one Chavah was very professional! She answered all our questions and catered to all of our needs. She made sure that our kids table was stocked with little games to keep the little ones entertained. She donated sodas to us that we weren't able to purchase in time, and provided clear cups in the last minute when we couldn’t find it at Costco. She accommodated to all of our family and friends surprise performances. And most importantly kept it all from us! She was very attentive to my needs, asking for my opinion before executing any decisions. And even after the wedding, she was able to donate all of my floral arrangements to a local Convalescent home. Chavah is an incredible coordinator, and it was a pleasure working with her!

to utilize the brilliance that comes with this entire team! The only thing I would change is that I would have Chavah be my officiant :) she has become part of my fam!!! :). I forgot to mention that Chavah and her team are a one stop wonder! They did my flowers and designed my entire wedding and reception site! You are in the best hands with Vida Chic :)

r hair/makeup and rentals. She was also great about being hands on to take out the trash after the wedding. Besides that, I can't say that having Vida Chic as our day-of coordinator relieved my stress by any means. It was not a good sign when we arranged to meet at her office in town (so, paid for street parking) and she was over an hour late. Which meant we had to cut our meeting short because our parking ran out (which wouldn't have happened if she had been on time). Her explanation was that she had come from Kualoa...which is 10 minutes from where we were staying and could have saved us a drive to town...right from the start, not so great communication. Planning this wedding from Denver and being very Type A, I would have appreciated much better communication from them. A simple email saying "X got done" or "Here's the timeline we drafted" goes such a long way in terms of relieving a bride's anxiety and stress...which you'd think a professional would understand. Honestly, I had to put together the layout, timeline, everything anyway, and it would have been much less stressful for me to simply do it all myself instead of waiting...and waiting...and waiting for Vida Chic to give me anything. If I hadn't been so Type A and had everything that needed to get done written out and if I hadn't had such amazing family and friends helping us on the day of, there is no way Chavah and her "assistant" would have been able to execute everything. As it was, Gentry, her actual assistant, came to our rehearsal, but told us that she wouldn't be helping on the day of. Then...why bother coming?? And who does Chavah bring in her assistant's place to help with my wedding? Her mother. I have a feeling that if Gentry had been able to assist that day, some things might have gone smoother...like the 300 loose white orchids I ordered may have been put out on the tables with the centerpieces instead of being left in the fridge all night (thanks for wasting that money)...the chairs may have been brought up from the ceremony lawn during cocktail hour (instead of my cousins realizing they still didn't have seats right before dinner and having to bring them up themselves)...tables may have actually been released promptly for dinner...and I may not have had to go searching for Chavah to kick off the speeches when I noticed a definite lull after dinner and found her making herself coffee in the kitchen. I was told that I wouldn't have to lift a finger. I knew that wouldn't be the case and I was fine with that, but it is extremely annoying to HAVE to pay for that extra help (thanks, Kualoa) and then find out on the day of that your coordinator's mom expects you, the bride, to take the chairs down to the ceremony site and such when you could be doing other things like putting out those dang flowers that you paid for! I do NOT feel like having Vida Chic as our day-of coordinator was worth it. I felt like they were too busy to treat us like we deserved to be treated and made to feel like a priority, and even having as much help as we did on the day of, we felt like they dropped the ball on executing our vision and making our day special for us.

eam. We live in Australia and having never been to Hawaii myself, I needed someone I could put my trust in to piece everything together. When I first found and messaged Vida Chic events, Chavah was so quick to respond and clearly stated her services and prices (which were really reasonable). Chavah has put up with many of my bridezilla moments, my last minute changes and indecisiveness and always just made sure I was really happy with the decisions that were made. All our wedding guests loved Chavah because she’s such a great person and so much fun. We were so lucky to also have her amazing team Gentry and Karina on the wedding day to help. We thought it was very generous that we were given three people to coordinate our day. I could seriously keep going on and on, because Vida Chic made our day so perfect. Our rehearsal dinner that she organised, my bouquet and all our floral, the ceremony rentals, the reception room and tables...absolutely everything was perfect. Thank you so much Chavah, really gonna miss our little chats. We wish you and your team all the very best and hope more brides and grooms find you and get to experience what we did. R&C xx
