My husband and I live in Michigan and planning a wedding and reception proved to be difficult-even for the small group of 20 that we had. Thanks To the reviews we read online we were able to pick your aloha wedding company to help us plan this special event. All of the wonderful reviews were spot on! Everything went smoothly and just as I imagined if not exceeding our expectations! You would not go wrong using this company to plan your event as well!

Kara with Your Aloha Wedding Company was so helpful from beginning to end and even after. She's always been very responsive and answered any and every question we had. She went above and beyond getting us tons of quotes when we were indecisive about venues and worked to stay under our budget. I liked that she referred to pintrest pages to get the feel of our inspiration and gave us a lot of ideas we wouldn't have thought of ourselves. I grew up on Maui and took a lot of recommendations for vendors from family and friends but our actual venue choice was a place I had never heard of, but Kara suggested it based off of our needs and budget. Kara was great with setting up timelines and reminders of what we should be working on at different times. It was way easier to communicate with just one person than having to juggle so many vendors. Everything turned out perfectly and she helped make our dream wedding a reality!

Aloha was recommended to me by our photographer and I am so glad I found them. I had just started the planning process and had multiple other planners ignore my contact or drop off the face of the earth when they heard how small my wedding would be. They responded immediately and proved they were the right choice in the first day. We planned or wedding remotely without having the ability to see or try anything. I never felt concerned about this at all during the whole process. We worked with Veronica as a planner and had a great experience. She kept everything very organized and all of her recommendations were spot-on!

We absolutely LOVED working with Kara and Your Aloha Company to plan our special day in Maui. We were planning from San Francisco and she made sure every piece of the planning and the day of ran smoothly. For context, our wedding was held at sugar beach events and was almost 100 people. Kara is extremely organized, and as a bride who wasn’t that into wedding planning, this was immensely helpful. She would keep us on track with deadlines and decisions that needed to be made, helped us correspond with our vendors, and even worked with us when things were out of budget. I’ve been in other wedding parties before and have seen first hand the difference between not so great, good, and outstanding planning/coordinating teams. Kara and team are definitely in the outstanding category. Every detail on our wedding day was flawless. For example, I was an hour late showing up to the venue because my makeup ran long, and Kara managed the situation calmly while still making it possible for... Read more us to do our first look. I'd definitely recommend Your Aloha Wedding for planning your wedding!

Kara and her team are the absolute BEST! They are connected with awesome vendors and know how to make your vision absolutely come to life! Our wedding was absolutely perfect and that is largely because of all the hard work that Kara did before the big day and then the day of. EVERYTHING was taken care of -- we could just enjoy all the festivities and not worry about anything. Kara was totally available through the entire planning process and helped make it a lot of fun. We truly cannot recommend her highly enough!!

Kara, Veronica and the team at Your Aloha Wedding helped create a magical day for my husband Wallace and me, not to mention friends and family. Living thousands of miles from Maui, we needed experts who knew the area and the resources available on the island. In a few phone conversations had a plan for a ceremony that was just what we were looking for--simple, dignified, beautiful and uniquely Hawaiian. We highly recommend them.

I cannot say enough good things about Kara of Your Aloha wedding company! She is hands down the best coordinator I could ever imagine and I give her my highest recommendation. She made our dream wedding come true and she did it in the most professional, attentive, detailed, thoughtful and kind manner. Kara took the time to check-in with us on a regular basis, always provided very helpful responses, and kept our wedding very organized (and within budget)! I thought I was an organized person until I met Kara and saw her colour coded spreadsheets and budgets! She constantly made me feel like we were going to achieve our dream vision on time (even though we only had about seven months) and she did so without making us feel overwhelmed even once. In addition, Kara has an outstanding team of professionals she works with. Her list of preferred vendors was varied to suit any price range and style. Each and every one of the vendors she coordinated for us was above and beyond our expectations. ... Read moreLike Kara, they offered the best quality of service and did it with a smile :) They all accommodated our requests and added to the happiness of our day! If you are at the stage where you are picking a coordinator, give Kara a call and you will immediately know working with her will be the best wedding planning decision you could make!

I found Kara at Your Aloha Wedding Co. after reading many reviews that said she was awesome and they were right! Kara was so easy to work with despite me having to plan my wedding from a different country. She was always so prompt replying to my emails and she always kept me up to date regarding the other vendors. My caterer, photographer, officiant, all the other vendors mentioned that they loved working with Kara since she is always on top of everything. She was even so helpful and brought extra items like extra flower toss petal baskets and a small glass container to keep all the photo booth props just in case, which all worked perfectly. Thank you for making my wedding a huge success and I highly recommend Your Aloha Wedding Co.!

Kara made our wedding planning process such a breeze! We had zero stress in the entire process and she created our DREAM wedding! I can't say enough good things about this woman, I highly recommend hiring her for your wedding planning. She thought of everything and gave us as many options as we wanted, plus at the end of the night, she even had a crew pack everything into our vehicle! We didn't have to lift a finger, it was so nice to be able to enjoy our day with out any stress or distractions. THANK YOU, Kara! Mahalo, Olivia & Brydon Retter

Kara was the Day of Event Coordinator for my daughter's wedding in Lahaina. Her positive energy, superior organization, excellent communication skills, and fabulous staff made the event a special - and relaxing - one for all of us, and all for a very reasonable cost! She was exactly who we were looking for in a coordinator! I would highly recommend her!

We got married in Wailea on October 7, 2016 and thanks to Veronica and Kara at Your Aloha Wedding Co, it was seriously perfect! A lot of my friends said you don't need a coordinator, it's not worth the money....let me tell you how wrong they were! Not only was it a stress/life saver, it was well worth every single penny! For those frugal folks out there, which I am, Your Aloha Wedding Co, in my opinion, is absolutely worth the cost! And their prices are very fair, if not too fair! I had originally contacted Kara shortly after we got engaged, about 12 months prior, and she set me up with Veronica who was with me every step of the way. Veronica was very accessible and whenever I contacted her she responded very promptly. And even though she had many brides to work with during my wedding planning, she made me feel like I was her top priority as I'm sure she did with all her brides. We were planning our wedding from Oregon, and though we were familiar with Maui, the vendors that Ve... Read moreronica recommended were all awesome! When we arrived in Maui, the first text I got was from Veronica and up to the day of the wedding, she continued to check in with us and help us navigate our way thru the week. Then come wedding day, I honestly couldn't have imagined it going any smoother. Everything went completely perfectly...honestly...perfect. I would highly recommend Your Aloha Wedding Co and Veronica Gray and Kara Byrne to anyone! Thank you both for making our dream wedding come to fruition!

I truly enjoyed working with Kara - she made everything so easy for me. She was extremely responsive and kept up with all of my one-off questions. She was knowledgeable, professional, and made me feel confident that she had everything under control - which of course she did! She exceeded my expectations and I would absolutely recommend her.

We were planning our wedding from California and were worried that we wouldn’t be able to go to Maui to do in person meetings, tastings, etc. But Kara had us covered every step of the way! She always gave insightful advice and provided her honest opinions, which really helped us feel better about making decisions from afar. Our wedding day was magical, and we can’t thank Kara enough for making our special day so perfect!! From the time we inquired about her services all the way until our wedding day, Kara returned emails within 1 business day and always gave such thorough responses. She is amazing at follow-up and emailed us every time there was an update from our vendors. Often times, we asked her a question that involved her reaching out to a vendor and waiting for their response, yet we would have an answer from her by the next day or two! We also appreciated how she guided us through every step of planning, from booking vendors to suggesting multiple ways to cut our co... Read morests to giving recommendations for places to have our rehearsal lunch. When we did have concerns about certain things, Kara addressed our concerns by patiently answering questions or by coming up with ideas that made us happier. On the day of the wedding, while waiting at the hotel lobby for the limo to pick up the bridal party to take us to the venue, Kara texted to tell me that the limo company was experiencing issues with our limo. However, she swiftly handled the issue and arranged for a shuttle bus to pick us up ASAP. The rest of the wedding day ran extremely smoothly and turned out absolutely amazing! After the wedding, many family members and close friends commented on how organized Kara was throughout the whole wedding day and how we chose a great wedding planner. We could not agree more and highly recommend her!! She is incredibly sweet, patient, honest, detail-oriented, and so easy to work with on planning a destination wedding!!

I found Your Aloha Wedding when looking up wedding planners in Maui. We knew we needed a wedding planner as we would be doing 99% the planning from the mainland. I reached out to a few planners and Kara was the first and fastest to respond to me (I think within a day)- after a phone conversation we were sold and booked her to manage our special day. The whole process was the opposite of what you hear from many brides about planning a wedding- I felt pretty much zero stress as Kara handled everything and was so responsive and organized I trusted her completely. I miss our almost daily emails too-it became such a big part of my life for a chunk of this year. The vendors she recommended clearly have a good working relationship with her- we received exceptional service and our guests were wowed by some of the details. I truly had the most beautiful wedding- it was honestly more beautiful than I even pictured in my head. I gave some vague inspiration pictures to her for floral and de... Read morecor and she really made amazing things happen- I almost cried when I glimpsed my reception area while heading to pictures- it all came together beautifully and I know that was due to her expertise. Hiring a full service wedding planner is not inexpensive but can be so helpful for planning a full scale DIY wedding (our venue provided nothing- everything had to be brought in)- you really won't regret going with Kara and her company.
