We focus exclusively on what we do best: crafting luxury Hawaii destination weddings with full-service attention to every exquisite detail. With years of experience, we’ve earned the privilege of being selective, serving a discerning niche of couples who value excellence over volume. We’re not chasing work or expanding endlessly; our focus is on creating extraordinary, one-of-a-kind Big Island events we truly love. When you work with us, you can rest assured that your wedding will be our sole focus that week, receiving our undivided attention from start to finish.

Experience
We began planning weddings on Hawaii Island over 14 years ago. As the leading Big Island wedding planners and Kona wedding coordinators, our experience in designing, planning, and managing destination weddings across Hawaii Island is truly unmatched. We didn’t begin as florists, photographers, or venue managers — our foundation has always been in full-service planning and coordination right here in Kona. Why does that matter for your Hawaii destination wedding? Because experience creates ease. It means we know how to anticipate every detail, navigate island logistics seamlessly, and bring your vision to life with calm precision. Over the years, we’ve refined a planning process tailored specifically to Hawaii — one that’s efficient, elevated, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish.
