Zenju Weddings and Events of Hawaii, LLC

g in New Jersey, we had been ideating on whether we should pull the trigger on organizing our wedding in Hawaii - the ultimate destination wedding location - not to mention, one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Just knowing this, we assumed it would be out of our budget, especially given that we were planning a big fat Polish-Indian wedding spanning multiple days, faiths, cultures and more! We began emailing quite a few planners via The Knot and Wedding Wire just to get a feel for what we could except from planning a wedding in Hawaii in general. Beyond worrying about our budget, we were torn on whether we could logistically execute something so elaborate being so far away….until that fateful Monday morning back in 2024, when Yanicke called me out of the blue. She quickly introduced herself, mentioning how she had received our inquiry, and immediately dove into her ideas for our special day. I just loved that she took the initiative to do that, especially given the crazy, 6-hour time difference! She explained how she had worked with a venue that could double as accommodations for us and our immediate family, something we knew would be one of the best ways to actually host and easily organize the wedding weekend of both Indian and Polish wedding festivities. For us, Yanicke REALLY shined when it came to tapping her vast network of vendors and and managing our budget. She advised us on what we should prioritize and invest in, and what we could do without, while still maintaining the overall vision and vibe we wanted to create for ourselves and our guests on the the big day. She was EQUALLY impressive on both our rehearsal and wedding days. She suggested we rehearse not just the Catholic, but the and Hindu ceremony as well, which was so worth it given the many rituals and parent involvement. The timeline she had started putting together months before our wedding, plus the finalized version accounting for vendor arrivals, additional notes and moments we needed to incorporate, was exactly what we envisioned and needed the most, and everyone was locked in and delivered once the big day came. On our wedding day, Yanicke managed every vendor, navigated any delays with grace, and even helped with family drama all while keeping us perfectly on track. We felt supported, celebrated, and completely stress-free with her by our side. Yanicke is a real gem with years of wedding planning wisdom and sharp networking skills that is truly hard to come by these days. She advocates for both her clients and her network, and will make you feel like family from Day 1.

anged constantly and affected our venue. Communication was often and quick. I honestly had little idea what my wedding should look like, so she designed the whole thing. It was stunning and pretty much in budget. She had it handled from start to finish. Plus her preferred vendor list? Awesome. There was excellent talent there. Thanks a ton Yanicke.

it’s up and downs we figured a destination wedding for just him and I was the best option. He randomly chose Honolulu, Hawaii and being that I am Polynesian it just seemed like the perfect place. No matter if you’re planning a huge, small, or elopement wedding. I highly recommend Zenju Weddings & Events to make your dreams come to life. If you’re on a budget or even rich, they will make your vision come to life. We spoke with Yanicke in the beginning of this year over the phone. She was trustworthy from the very start. You could tell she knows what she’s doing just by conversing with her. She took words out of my mouth as if she was in my head. She painted me this picture of a dream wedding on the beach. I’ve envisioned this since I was a young girl. If not, it was way more than I could have even fathom. I felt so comfortable with placing our wedding in her hands. From the very start she made us feel like we had no worries. With COVID going on, it was/is a scary feeling not knowing how things could end up. But for some reason she made us feel like this was completely possible. From day one right after speaking with her, we knew we were going to sign her contract and hire Zenju Weddings & Events. It just felt right! She communicated with us from start to finish. Provided us numerous emails, texts, and phone calls with all details. Yanicke always made us feel like we could contact her at anytime. As busy of a woman that she is with many booked weddings and elopements at hand, she always had time for our random questions or concerns. She took care of literally everything. A true multitasker! And when I tell you to trust her, I mean in all shapes and forms. There’s no fear when it comes to Zenju! This company, their employees and vendors are top of the line. I don’t just write reviews for anything or anyone. But when a person or people go above and beyond for me or the people I love. They deserve for the world to know how much they mean to me and how much they can mean to someone else. Each and every vendor from makeup/hair stylist, assistant, photographer, videographer, officiant, florist, musician/singer and of course the one and only, our wedding planner, Yanicke Lim Sang fulfilled our wedding dreams. It doesn’t matter if your family like mine are not physically there, you will feel the love regardless. Each and everyone of these individuals were remarkable, loving, welcoming, brought great energy, and are just overall genuine people. I completely fell in love with all of them. It makes me tear up how much they made my wedding day. I would relive that day everyday if I could. I felt no stress what so ever. Yanicke really did such an amazing job. You can tell that she truly loves what she does because it shows. Believe in this team, believe in Yanicke! She will not let you down, I promise anyone that. I had THE best wedding I could have ever wanted. Hawaii is just the place to be. She will recommend you to nothing but the best and provide you that too. I am grateful beyond words. I can’t thank you all enough. Our wedding was a Hawaiian fairy tale with a fairy godmother, Yanicke. Oh what magical powers you have. Aloha! Mahalo! From the happiest newlyweds, Gena and Kahm.

edule and coordinated each detail with the many, many vendors we hired to make our big day happen. Our wedding went off without any problems, partly due to her ability to adapt to changes as they came up and effectively deal with them. Overall, she definitely helped make our day a smooth one.
