"BEST WEDDING PLANNERS EVER!!!! I couldn't have imagined a more perfect day. They mean what they say... Best Day Ever... Guaranteed!"

— Leo & Mai, England, UK

The girls were worth every cent and I would recommend them to anyone. It felt as if they always went above and beyond their contracted duty to make sure we had an extra special day; we really felt well looked after.

— Amanda H., Dunbar, PA

— Laura S., Co. Mayo, Republic of Ireland

"our wedding was exactly what we wanted! it was perfect! I would highly recommend anyone getting married on O'ahu to use best day ecer.  They made our wedding dreams come true"

— Bill C., Redmond, WA

"I am pretty sure that if we had done it ourselves we would have ended up paying more, we wouldn't have found the quality of services that they did, we would of wasted our vacation time in Hawaii running around taking care of stuff, and it would have just generally been stressful."

— Hanaj C., Pearl City, Hawaii

"I didn't think I need help planning my small intimate wedding but I realize now how important it is to have a wedding planner. i am so grateful and appreciative!"

This is totally up to you.  You tell us your vision and we can make it happen.  A floral wedding arch and wooden chairs are the most common set up but if you have something specific in mind let us know and we can help you to figure out how to bring it to life.  We assist with all coordination and set up of wedding decor and even get discounted vendor rates on florals and other rental items. The best part - savings are passed directly to you!

what kind of ceremony set up can we do? 

Yes this shouldn't be an issue. Strollers and wheelchairs should have no problem getting to the ceremony location.  The lawns are well manicured and flat, there are some sidewalk paved areas, and it is close to the parking area.  

is the ceremony venue wheelchair accessible? 

On the morning of your wedding we check the weather report and radar and watch the rain carefully. If it is pouring all morning (this is really rare), then we'll call you and discuss options with you. 95% of the time even on a very rainy day there are patches of sunshine, especially near the ocean. Usually we wait out the passing showers and will do a ceremony in between showers. This venue in particular does have a wedding chapel right next to the outdoor space that we can use in case of rain.  It's the perfect back-up option and a lovely alternative that we have available if it's a rainier day. 

How likely is it to rain on my wedding day? What happens if it does rain?

Currently outdoor events have no capacity limits and it's been this way for a while now. I wouldn't expect that to change. If they do add in some type of mandate they may limit the guest count for events indoors but it's likely not to be limited outdoors.  There are currently no Covid restrictions and I wouldn't expect that to change anytime soon. Here are the current guidelines. https://hawaiicovid19.com/travel/getting-to-hawaii/  There are no Covid related entry requirements. 

worst case scenario’s what would happen if we’re not able to travel to Hawaii due to Covid? 

This package was designed to include all the basics needed for a beautiful Hawaii wedding.  On occasion some couples may choose to bring their own officiant or photographer.  Although we highly recommend using our vendors we understand that some couples may have another vision.  We are happy to discount the package on a case by case basis if you wish to forego the use of our officiant or photographer.  There are no discounts for any other items.  If you choose to forego the lei exchange ceremony you can swap these leis out for parent leis or keep them to wear after the ceremony.   

Can we take some of the package items out, we don't need everything? 

frequently asked questions

We really think you'll be quite pleased with our photographers but if you would like to bring in another photographer then we can credit you $200. Our main concern is that you are happy with how your wedding day turns out. 



We want to use our own photographer, is that ok? 

With the simpler smaller weddings like these, we do not do a rehearsal. On the day of the wedding I will be there to put everyone in place and line you up, cue the music and guide you through everything. It will feel very natural and seamless. 

Do we need to have a Rehearsal? 

Of course! Start a Pinterest board and start saving photos of bouquets you like, we will be asking you about flowers as we get further into planning. The cost of bouquets, aisle decor, leis, etc. are not included but we work with a wonderful florist who gives us amazing pricing and does beautiful work. I will pick up the flowers for you that day and bring all the flowers to you on the day of the wedding. If you aren’t sure on colors or types of bouquets we have samples from which you can choose your favorites. 

Do I get to pick the flowers and colors?


Each wedding ceremony has a 2-hour time slot. Here's a sample morning wedding timeline -
8:30am Set-up
9:30am Guests Arrive
10am Ceremony
10:30am Ceremony End
10:30-11am Photos
End.
*Optional add on an extra hour of beach photography with your photographer 

how much time do we have at the venue?



Unfortunately this venue has a max capacity of 20 guests.   If you have more than 20 guests please consider Paradise Cove or Lanikuhonua Wedding Packages (both private venues but do allow more guests - up to 50). 

What if we have more than 20 guests? 


This is the secret question nobody wants to ask and so I thought I'd just address it directly.  It totally varies depending on guest count and how many extras you decide to add-on.  All of our wedding packages are set up to include the basics of everything you'd need for a beautiful Hawaii wedding - but there are likely a few things you'll want to add on like hair and makeup, flowers, chairs, and taking guests out to a nice meal after the ceremony.  If you've never planned a wedding in Hawaii you probably have no idea how much all of this stuff costs.  We are happy help here and will outline a sample custom budget for you before you decide to move forward with booking to help ease your mind about the budget.  Just ask us when you inquire and let us know as many details as possible about your vision - the more the better!
