Your Aloha Wedding Company, Inc.

Amazing to work with ! Kara went above and beyond for us ! She was also awake early answering emails with the time difference ! She was so nice by the time we meet her it felt like we knew her for years . Overall she made our day so special and amazing ! We can’t recommend her enough ! The best decision we made !

I thought it was going to be difficult planning a wedding at home (Maui) from my current residence on the east coast. Being that far away, not being able to meet with vendors, etc. However, after meeting Veronica at YAWC, we were instantly at ease! She is so professional, organized and creative. I had no clue where to even begin with wedding planning but she made it so easy for me to follow along in the process and gave the best advice! She was very thoughtful and attentive which led to the creation of the wedding of our dreams! We (and our guests) were so impressed with the way everything turned out. I was able to stay relatively stress free and arrived to the best day ever. We would 1000000% recommend YAWC (and Veronica)!

I wanted to provide some feedback regarding the services we received from Your Aloha Wedding Company, particularly on the day of our wedding. Leading up to the event, we were very pleased with Veronica's assistance and communication. However, we were disappointed with her performance on the actual day. To begin with, there were too many chairs set up for the ceremony, despite our repeated discussions and confirmations that we wanted exactly 30 chairs. This oversight was not only frustrating but also impacted the seating arrangement, as Kyle’s grandmother was not seated in the front row as planned. Veronica had us create a detailed Google Doc specifying the front row seating, yet this was not followed. Additionally, we did not receive the correct arch. We had chosen a dark walnut arch, but a light wood arch was provided instead. This was particularly disappointing as it did not match our planned décor. While guests were arriving, Veronica and her assistant were standing by the arch, seemingly doing nothing. This was concerning as there were several tasks still pending. My mother had to intervene when she noticed that the menus were not placed in the napkins and the tables were not ready. This should have been handled by Veronica and her assistant. Furthermore, Veronica did not greet our guests upon arrival or provide directions, a task that my mother had to take over. We had asked Veronica to bring envelopes for gratuity for our vendors, which we never received. She also did not distribute our party favors until many guests had already left and only did so after I specifically requested it. Additionally, she was supposed to make a sign indicating gluten-free cupcakes, which was crucial due to some guests' severe gluten allergies, but this was not done by her. Luckily, the Gather on Maui events planner quickly did that for us. Many guests left behind their monstera leaf place cards, which were also party favors, and these were not collected by the end of the night. When we texted Veronica to ask about those who left their place cards, she responded that there were none left over, which was not true. We also couldn't locate Veronica when it was time to cut our cupcake, and I had to use a knife from one of the guest tables because she was nowhere to be found. At no point that we can remember did she check in with us to see if we needed anything, and her assistant did not communicate with us at all. While I really like her as a person and found her very fun to work with over the last year and a half, I often felt that when she was "making note" of things, she wasn’t actually doing so, which was proven true on the wedding day. Thank goodness for our wonderful photographer Michael and DJ Dan, who helped salvage the evening. Unfortunately, I do not believe Your Aloha Wedding services were worth the $4,000 fee. Based on her performance, I would have valued her services at no more than $1,500. I personally feel that aside from her coordination with Gather on Maui and setting up the tables, I essentially planned my entire wedding and did not need her services. While she is a nice person, her lack of organization and attention to detail on the day of our wedding was unacceptable. Sadly, when I reflect on my wedding day, I am filled with memories of what went wrong and the services that were not delivered as promised. I was deeply disappointed with the services provided and, unfortunately, would not recommend your company to others.
