Review for Malia:
Working with Malia and her team was an absolute dream! Malia was incredibly professional and organized while we were working with her as our Wedding Day of Coordinator. She made sure everything went according to plan and we were able to enjoy our wedding day without a worry. She went above and beyond with little details throughout the day making our wedding picture perfect. We would book her again without hesitation and would refer her to anyone who is looking for a wedding planner/day of coordinator! She also has an amazing team standing beside her that are incredibly talented as well.
Malia was absolutely fantastic! Though I had initially tried to plan everything myself, I am so so glad I contacted Wildflower Weddings. Malia was great at thinking of all the tiny details I never would have considered. She was kind and professional and she really pulled everything together. She made sure I was picture-perfect and stress free. She reached out the day after the wedding to share some of the photos she took since we wouldn’t be getting things back from the photographer for another month. Even my guests reached out to tell me what a good job she did. Highly recommend!!
Hiring Wildflower Weddings aka Malia as our day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She is an absolute rockstar and we knew we could rely on her 100%! Her passion for weddings and making her clients’ day perfect really showed and we are so appreciative of the attention to detail and personal connection we made with her. Thank you for making our day truly amazing and perfect!!
Any questions?
From start to finish working with Malia made wedding planning and day of coordination so seamless! She went above and beyond leading up to the wedding and kept all details on track. Malia understood my vision and executed it to perfection. Our timeline for the day of was so detailed and organized - it was a dream for a type A bride like myself. For the wedding day, Malia and Molly made sure everyone was where they should be, vendors were getting everything set up correctly, and made sure I had everything I needed for the day. We could not be more grateful for them. Working with these ladies truly helped to make our wedding day perfect and I can't stress enough how important it is to factor in a coordinator/planner! We cannot recommend Wildflower Weddings and Events (Malia and Molly) enough and are forever grateful! 10/10!
We were wildflower's first remote planning couple and Malia could not have been more helpful. She gave us advice on everything wedding-related (even bridal shower questions) AND she helped us write a timeline for our vendors to use. She made our day so special without being there and we can't thank her enough!
The one piece of advice we got from everyone was to hire a coordinator and Malia was the perfect choice! She worked with our busy schedule and was so accommodating with all of our emails. She even gave my mother-in-law a task to help all of our stress throughout the wedding day. We gave her free reign to set up all of our decor and it turned out great! We've already recommended her to all of our engaged friends and HIGHLY recommend her to everyone else.
I truly could not have gotten through my wedding without Malia and her team! Malia was a multitasking master! She was on top of it the entire day with set-up and keeping our crazy family under control not to mention we always had a drink in our hand. I don't think we could have kept all of the details together without her. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Malia at Wildflower Weddings was phenomenal to work with. She was so helpful throughout the planning process and provided support to help me feel confident and calm as the bride on my wedding day. Malia was very professional and always had a quick response to any questions to ensure I felt prepared while planning. Also, her assistant day-of, Anna, was just as lovely and helpful to keep the whole day running smoothly and as planned. The day was absolutely seamless due to their expertise. If you're looking for an experienced and lovely wedding planner to work with, don't hesitate to book Wildflower Weddings!
Wildflower helped my sister and brother in law so much. They took a large burden off our shoulders with the wedding. The professionalism was impeccable. Everything was planned and executed without a hitch. I am definitely going to them when me and my girlfriend get married.
If you're looking for a wedding planner who genuinely cares about making your day perfect and memorable... HIRE MALIA! The Wildflower team helped us create a beautiful decor plan and brought everything together for us!
Malia and her assistant were amazing and went above and beyond for us consistently throughout our wedding weekend and planning process.
We had an issue with our initial rehearsal dinner venue and Malia helped us find a new venue, provided beautiful floral centerpieces free of charge, and lent us a lot of other extras like a nice standing cooler, folding chairs, vases, picture frames, a wedding card box, etc.
Malia was on top of everything during the wedding and did a great job setting up the reception venue and keeping vendors on track.
Would highly recommend her - I don’t know what we would have done without her!! She’s a steal.
We were so excited to become a wildflower couple! We knew we wanted to hire a wedding planner because I had so many ideas on my pinterest board. Malia was able to consolidate my ideas into vision boards that allowed us to pick what we really wanted for our big day. From recommending vendors to organizing our timeline Malia really lived up to our standards. She made our 'rustic meets glamorous' vision come to life.
I thought that I was organized until I met Malia! We hired Wildflower for their "day of coordination" package a few months before our wedding and can not be grateful enough. We were nervous about not being able to enjoy our wedding day worrying about what could go wrong but Malia put our minds at ease instantly. She not only pulled off our perfect wedding day but took care of a lot of guest requests all while in heels. If you are on the edge about hiring a coordinator - this is your sign to hire Malia!
We were connected with Malia through mutual friends two months before our wedding. We had a previous coordinator leave us high and dry. I knew from the first call with Malia that she was going to be the blessing I needed. Her wisdom about weddings, details, and things that can/will go wrong was the biggest sign to hire her immediately. She was always honest, responded to the enormous texts/emails I had, and most of all detail oriented. This was shown in her timeline that was 15 pages long. Clearly no stone left unturned. All of this is everything wonderful leading up to the actual day. The actual day of the wedding I had absolutely zero worries. I was able to be present with my family, enjoy getting ready, relaxing, and just breathing. None of that would have been possible without Malia. I didn’t worry about the chairs that needed changing. I didn’t worry about people being able to find the shuttles. I didn’t worry about the boys getting ready. Malia took care of everything. I’m sure she ran miles that day making sure every detail was in place and it really makes the biggest difference. If there’s one thing I would tell any bride it’s to 100% get a wedding coordinator. And with that, let it be Malia. I would hire her again and again. She truly makes your day stress free. Which says a lot about what’s usually the most stressful day.
