SALLY!!! Our little quick planned covid wedding was what dreams are made of! I know everyone says that about THEIR wedding, but as a retired wedding videographer with terrible anxiety and a designer husband, we both can honestly say that the wedding looked and felt exactly the way we had hoped and more, and that’s thanks to Sally! From the first time we emailed her, she responded the fastest, and gave the straightest answers of the dozens of planners we had contacted over the 2 years we were engaged. Since a big wedding was postponed by Covid, it was hard to get motivated to make decisions. We dragged our feet on it, and Sally was awesome giving us suggestions and locations. The first 3 were not quite right, not what we imagined, we got so far as to almost book a date, only to decide we should keep looking. Once we thought we had it ready to go, Sally notified us of some construction she heard of, and told us with full transparency so we could make a choice - and we hadn't even si...

Finally we made a choice, and while it wasn't my first choice location, the wedding was planned in less than 3 months, with all of my little details and quirky things I wanted and great communication. From my work, if I don't get the spreadsheet of the entire plan, I assume it's not being done - but every time I asked about something I thought she hadn't done or thought of - she had already done it behind the scenes! You can just let it go, and know that she has taken care of it, down to the way to tie a sign up, or anchoring something to the ground! She was great with our family at rehearsal, and always so fun when we met. The vendors she recommended were GREAT. Some didn't have online reviews but we trusted Sally and they did NOT disappoint! Her team on the day got everything set up in lightning time and it was just as we imagined! NOTHING WENT WRONG, not one thing - I'm still waiting for someone to tell me of some disaster that I didn't know of, but there was nothing! Only raves about how good the food was, how beautiful the wedding was, how easy and fun the day was. Sally and Jamie and the crew were just so patient, so kind - with a cool calm energy! My day was so fun, I could be in the moment, I had no anxiety, no uh-ohs, just the experience that Sally helped set up and my husband and I are soooooo happy with our little covid wedding :) We had planned to have another bigger wedding, but our mini one was SO PERFECT I don't think anything else could ever top it! THANK YOU SALLY & THE ARLUIS WEDDING TEAM!!!

We originally contacted Arluis because we were interested in having our wedding at the ocean front in Waikiki, Moana Chapel. We didn't know that Arluis was able to provide us the entire wedding package service including planning, but we were very glad that they were able to because of the quality of the service they provided to us. We live in SF, so most of the planning was done over the phone and email, but our wedding planner, Sally took the time to communicate with us well and prompt. She communicated with all the vendors for availability and price negotiation, so it made everything easy for us and saved a lot of our time. She was reliable and flexible with all of our requests as well. We also decided to rent our dress/tux at Arluis, because we had a short window of time before the wedding date, and did not have time to get all the necessary items. The rental also included shoes and accessories, and they did all the adjustments for us when we arrived to Waikiki 2 days before the w... Read moreedding, so this was definitely a time saver for us! The ceremony was well planned and went smoothly. Photos and the video that were also included in the package turned out beautifully as well! I recommend Arluis and Sally for any couple who would like to have a packaged wedding in Waikiki, and especially for those who are busy with daily lives and wanting to save their time in the wedding planning process. Thank you Sally!

Sally and her team just made everything so smooth and stress free! We only could plan the ceremony due to COVID. The whole day went by so fast since the timeline was just so tight. Sally made it possible for me to focus on the important moments and just enjoy the whole experience rather than stress about the little things. Every conversation I had with her made me feel like I was having a conversation with a close friend - comfortable, empathetic, kind, and understanding. Sally has such a sharp eye for detail - there were times when she would catch something in the photo sessions that the photographers didn’t catch to make the photo fabulous. We will definitely ask for her services again for our reception later on in the year!

We had only two months to prepare our destination wedding, but they managed to plan and make our wedding so wonderful. They are a very well organized team with experienced staffs performed a great effective and impressive work to make my wedding event so memorable. I would recommend Arluis Wedding to anyone hands down! Thank you so much!

Covid-19 has caused so much stress and pain for so many people.However Sally And her team were able to take away the pain and stress. Sally is the Queen on the Island when it comes to weddings, she will ensure, deliver exceptional service from initial phone call until your truly happy and satisfied. Jamie’s personal touch and professionalism has been beyond delightful. From making sure our personal accommodations have been superior and throughout the entire event. We let them know what we wanted and she was able to Delivery that and more! The services and vendors were all beyond professional and most importantly very detail oriented and really enjoy their professions. They were nice, courteous, flexible, responsive, and respectful. The best experience of our life!

My, now, husband and I were looking for a simple yet elegant wedding on a budget. What Sally offered was exactly that. She is observant of your style and needs. She was able to book the type of officiant we wanted and she even found a very talented photographer with impeccable taste. The bouquet she handed to me looked even better than the Pinterest inspirations I sent her! I have contacted many different vendors and planners but none were as accomodating and kind as Sally and her team. They were SO flexible and due to the different mandates every day coming from Hawaii (covid-19) it was important for us to be able to be in clear and productive communication with each other. During this hectic time, she was able to make the process seem so easy. I absolutely love and adore Sally! She is truly a gem and I do recommend her to anyone and everyone.

Sally was great she insured me my husband and our family were taking care of the whole time. I couldn’t ask for anything better

From the start, Sally and Nanae of Arluis Weddings were such a blessing. We had no intention of hiring a coordinator, but in the end we were so happy that we did! There are so many moving pieces to planning a wedding and Arluis Wedding coordinators made it seem so darn easy. The wedding planning process flew by and before we knew it, it was our big day! The day of our wedding was nothing short of perfect. From the coordination of vendors to hosting our guests, everything turned out to be what we dreamed our wedding would be. Following our wedding, we kept receiving compliments on how beautiful our ceremony was and how the Kahu, Elias Parker, made it extra special. Our family and friends also could not get over how on-time everything was, especially with it being a Hawaiian wedding, they expected it to be on “Hawaiian Time,” but that definitely was not the case! If you’re still in search of a wedding coordinator, go with your gut and choose Sally and Nanae of Arluis weddin... Read moregs. You won’t just have the most beautiful and well thought out wedding that your friends and family will cherish forever, but you will also gain a valuable friendship with two of the sweetest and down to earth wedding planners that Hawai’i has to offer!

We were very fortunate to work with Sally, Nanae and their amazing team. They definitely went the extra mile to ensure that our wedding was perfect—from researching the best vendors within our budget to promptly answering any and every question we had. Throughout the entire process, they were professional and fun to work with, especially because they always had our best interests at heart. I am incredibly grateful for all of their hard work and dedication to making our dream wedding possible. Thank you so, so much!

Sally and Nanae are awesome to work with. They did their best to make sure every detail of our wedding went as we wanted. I'd recommend them to all if my family and friends.

I DIDN'T THINK I NEEDED A WEDDING PLANNER BEING THAT I HAD ALL IDEAS AND WANTS IN A BINDER FOR 4 YEARS. AS THE DAYS GOT CLOSER I REALIZED HOW MUCH I NEEDED THEIR HELP (and reminders of all the due dates and timelines with my vendors) ESPECIALLY WEEKS PRIOR WITH FINALIZING EVERYTHING FOR THE CEREMONY AND RECEPTION. IM SO GRATEFUL FOR THEIR HELP ESPECIALLY NANAE. SHE WOULD ALWAYS GO OUT OF HER WAY TO MEET ME...EVEN IF THAT MEANT LATE NIGHTS OR COMING TO ME AT MY CONVENIENCE. I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO EVERYONE I KNOW TO HELP WITH WEDDING PLANNING.

Sally, Nanae, and the Arluis team made our wedding day absolutely perfect. From day one of planning, Sally was so wonderful to work with and extremely accommodating to all of our needs. I would highly recommend Sally and her team to anyone I know having a wedding. Couldn't have asked for a better experience and couldn't have planned our special day with out her. Thank you, Arluis Weddings!

As a sister of a groom who resides abroad, I became the main point of contact for my brother's wedding planning. Finding Sally was the best thing I did for my brother and everyone else in the wedding. She was so professional responsive and pleasant to work with. I contacted pretty much every wedding cordinator and venue in Waikiki. I am confident to say that no one was ever this professional and timely as most of them did not take me seriously for some reason. I highly ecommend Sally and Alius to anyone who is considering a beautiful destination wedding.

My wedding planner, Sally, provided excellent service with great details and flawless planning. I would definately recommend her to my close friends if there is chance. Thanks to her for making perfect, unforgettable memories in Waikiki.
