We hired Diego for our wedding last year and he was phenomenal! We met several times leading up to the day and went over everything, including the timeline as well as the vibe we were going for and everything was seamless. He was easy to communicate with and made sure we had songs in place for each activity and backups queued up just in case. Diego was very intuitive of the crowd and our guests, to this day, talk about how great the music was.

Her dedication and professionalism were evident in every aspect of her work - she truly was our rock and a miracle worker. When a calamity broke out in the kitchen, she and her assistant made sure it didn't ruin our enjoyment of the reception. Throughout the day, they were able to make smaller decisions for us while we enjoyed getting ready with our loved ones. Their prep work communicating with us allowed them to make choices that aligned perfectly with what was important to us. Miranda and Tyler completely transformed our wedding day from a that could have been a terrible stressful affair to the most delightful, perfect, joyful celebration we could have imagined. I was in tears the next day with gratitude. We are so grateful for their incredible service.

I started Twin Fin Filmworks because I love to create memories through film. Every Twin Fin film is as unique as the couple which inspired it. I believe my work is meaningful - capturing one of the best days of your life, and getting to handcraft a short film for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sam and Sofia of Twin Fin Films did a beautiful job with our wedding video. They were extremely personable and we never felt awkward in front of the camera. During the pre-wedding shoot and the wedding day itself, nothing felt staged or contrived. When we got the wedding films back we were blown away. The editing of the films were so beautiful from the quality and visuals to the music and sequencing. They captured the day so perfectly - not just in terms of the details but in terms of the atmosphere and vibe. We would highly recommend couples to work with Twin Fin Films - you will not regret it. Thank you so much Sam and Sofia!! You guys are the best.

Award-winning Hawaii wedding photographer captures editorial imagery for the discerning couples appreciating a vibrant and unexpected take on wedding photography. Through artful compositions and thoughtful storytelling, I am to capture not just how your celebration looked, but how it felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
I originally found Masha through Zola and was impressed by her editorial style photos. I am so happy that Masha was available to photograph our wedding. She made me feel so comfortable and so gorgeous all day. My husband was nervous about being in front of the camera but she helped guide our posing and he looks very natural in the end result! Photography is a large part of the wedding day and I'm grateful I spent that time with Masha. I am picky about photos since my dad is very passionate about photography, especially film photography. The photos (both digital and the film ones) turned out absolutely incredible. She took both traditional wedding portraits as well as some very dreamy gorgeous editorial-like photos. It's hard to convey how happy I am about the experience. I'm already dreaming about another vow renewal so I can book Masha again!

Aloha! I'm Roman. I've been living on the magical island of O'ahu since I came to UH Manoa in 2009 for my Economics Degree. I got involved with the University radio station (90.1 FM), started doing live events, and really loved showing off my rare music finds. Nothing beats the feeling of rocking a live crowd for track after track, especially after the long pause in events! DJing is all I do for "work", and I love it! Each wedding or event I play is full of different people and different ages from all over the world, and they all have differing tastes in music- blending so many different genres and styles of music is such a fun challenge!

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Roman Candles was excellent! He pulled off a set that was beyond our wildest dreams. We had a brief phone meeting a week before the wedding about how we wanted the vibe to be and he pulled it off perfectly. Us and our guests were blown away by his performance. After the wedding, all of our guests were raving how awesome he was! He blended all of our requested genres. The transitions between genres and between songs were spot on! He had all of our guests up and dancing. Our wedding coordinator said he was very easy to work and communicate with. He was very organized and had all the equipment we needed. He also took care of the emcee duties and did an awesome job! He had an app we could use to upload all of our song requests. We found it very useful for organizing the songs we wanted played at each part of the night. He totally killed it and we could not imagine anyone doing better. 10/10. We can’t stop watching videos of how fun the night went! Totally recommend DJ Roman Candles for your wedding or any other events!!!

Once we found Kristen and her work we knew we could't trust anyone else with capturing our day! Kristen was incredible with communication from start to finish and extremely transparent. We are so grateful that we trusted her with our engagement photos and our special day. She captured every moment of our event in the exact way we wanted. Every time I turned around Kristen was right there capturing every detail. She became more than our photographer but a dear friend through the process. We hope to come back to Hawaii and continue to shoot our growing family photos with her. She truly made our day magical and now we have priceless photos to look back on for a lifetime.

Loulu Palm began as a seed...a twinkling idea, a dream in our hearts. Since 2007, that magic seed has blossomed into Loulu Palm Farm. A place where things can take root and grow: love, families, children, friendship, art hope, and last but certainly not least, palms! They're at the heart of what we do, the physical embodiment of our mission, that which keeps us rooted in the original dream.

We got married at Loulu Palm on September 14th 2024 and it was everything we dreamed of...and then some! From the first moment we stepped foot on Loulu we knew it was the one for us. But that was just the beginning- because shortly after meeting Nickie, we then met with Ashley (the best wedding coordinator on planet earth). Again, after just a couple minutes of chatting with her, we knew she was such a perfect fit for us and felt like we had already known her for years. So it wasn't even a question for us- but if it is for you- my advice would be to just do it. Without Ashley, our special day would not have even come close to how perfect everything was. Not to mention all the weeks and months leading up to it- I love how she always kept it real with us throughout the entire process (with timelines, vendor recommendations, design, layout, cost, etc), but with the most warmth and grace one could possibly have. Ashley is now our dear friend and we cannot wait to come back to visit one of our favorite places. 10/5 stars on both Ashley and Nickie and Loulu Palms!!!!

I’m Grace Troutman. I’m a wedding & elopement photographer who loves to frequent the West Coast, Hawaii, and the Midwest (where I grew up.) I approach working with my couples on their weddings from a place of trust and compassion, so I can document the day how it is true to them. No forced moments, no stiff posing, only true to life candid imagery. I’ve shot all over the world from Iceland, Ireland, & France to all over the Midwest, all the way to California and Hawaii, and I believe that you should say “I do,” in a place that makes you feel like home.

Grace T Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, they were incredibly responsive and provided us with so much inspiration and guidance to help us plan the perfect day. Their team, including Hannah and Mike, were dedicated and fantastic. They captured our wedding in the most candid and romantic way. They helped us plan the flow of the day by contributing feedback and building the schedule, and we even got special moments, like a pair of bunnies that photobombed our engagement shoot! We couldn't have asked for a better photography experience and would highly recommend Grace T Photography to any couple looking for a talented and personable team to capture their special day.

I work with Ari often (I'm a floral designer) and she's one of the few photographers that I will basically drop everything to work on a shoot, project or a wedding for. She has such a professional eye – great at framing her couples, a timeless style, and the moments look candid and natural yet elegant and polished at the same time. And she's down-to-earth and easy to work with! A lot of the photos highlighting my floral work come from Ari and they are the ones I use over and over. I love her work that much!! You will be in good hands if Ari is your photographer.

Kristie is such an amazing photographer. She is so professional, yet flexible and goes above and beyond to accommodate her clients to make their special day even more special. She is someone who really makes her clients feel comfortable in every aspect of the shoot. My husband, who isn't one for having his photo taken, was able to relax and (with the help of our incredible photographer) take the best photos that we've taken to date! She not only meets the needs of her clients, but by far exceeds your expectations!! We eloped last minute and she was able to arrange a time with me to be able to capture our special day, which I will always be grateful for. The experience with which she directed not only us, but our family, made the shoot that much more amazing. She made us feel like family and ensured that we got the best of the best out of our day. Thank you so much, Kristie! We will definitely be booking with you again for any future events and special occasions!

At Elardo Events, we care about our work just as much as we care about the people we are doing the work for.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you read any review, read this one. For context, I'm a producer, my entire career is planning big scale events, productions, and hiring people. We went through 3 coordinators before finding Tara and it was because I had such a high standard for who I wanted to help me on my wedding day. Tara was, hands down, the best thing that could have happened to us for our wedding. We had multiple setbacks and last minute changes and none of them threw Tara off her step. She was honest with us 100% of the time about what was possible and what wasn't possible. And whenever either of us had concerns, Tara's response was always exactly what we needed to hear. She assured us that everything would work out and she would take care of it and she absolutely did. We did all of the decorations for our wedding ourselves and relied on Tara to set it up and execute our vision. Not only were we both FLOORED walking down the aisle seeing what she had done, it was actually better than we could have ever imagined. Additionally, after the wedding I found out that there was an issue with our credit card that almost prevented the vendor from delivering the items on time - Tara took care of it without telling us (the best thing a wedding coordinator can do) and I really appreciated how it was handled without needing to ask us. I can't say this enough, Tara was the best thing that ever happened to us for our wedding. Truly I don't think we paid her enough. We are so incredibly grateful for what she's done for us and if we were to ever have a huge event in need of planning, I'd hire her in a heartbeat. Stop looking for a coordinator, just hire her. If you see this same review on multiple sites, it is because I will never stop copying and pasting how amazing this woman and her business is. Wishing you all as great of a wedding as we had.

We hired Alvea Studios to take our first maternity photo shoot back in 2019, both my husband and I were expecting our first baby! We got to choose the location to have our shoot and both Abbie and Harold made both my husband and I feel incredibly comfortable. We are ones to not take pictures but I knew this was a milestone in our life we wanted to remember, I left having fun and it was the utmost positive experience we’ve ever experienced! Both were 100% professional, accommodating and captured every moment. After seeing the final product of pictures we were incredibly happy as it came out perfect! Something for my son to see when he gets older. They both were so awesome we also ended up hiring them to do my engagement photos in the summer of 2019 as well after my son was born! They even made a wedding teaser video for me, which came out awesome! Harold and Abbie have a gifted talent, to capture a moment in time with their photography I’ve never seen before with past professional family photos taken when I was a child. In the end I hired them for my wedding, my second maternity shoot back in 2021 and the last two years for our holiday Christmas cards. Consider them for any event you may have, both again are extremely professional and great at what they do!

Working with Mar was the absolute best! My husband and I are not the most affectionate, but when we received our pictures, we love them so much. She captured our love and our story perfectly. During my getting ready pictures, she made me comfortable and beautiful. I never felt any awkward times and she made every moment a good time. She caught the most fun pictures of my husband and I, along with our wedding party. When my Maid of Honors or coordinator were not around, she held on to my blotting sheets and lip gloss, made sure I was good, it was great! She was more than our photographer that day and we absolutely appreciated it, and loved it. It was a quick turnover and such quality work; we would recommend her to anyone!!

I’ve always felt a special connection to Hawaii growing up in paradise. So many people dream of spending just a few days here and I’ve been fortunate to have spent my entire life here. It truly is such a beautiful place and not a day goes by that I don’t appreciate all it has to offer. I love getting to know each couple’s personalities and build new relationships. Most of all, I believe that life’s celebrations should be memorable and special in every way possible. I've been helping couples plan their dream weddings for over 15 years and love seeing how happy they are!

I have worked together with Lei on over 100 weddings, and I've witnessed her operating in all aspects of event planning and execution. She is one of the best to do it. Lei herself is always on top of things, but more than that she understands connection and vibe, in addition to timelines, budget, transportation needs, event locale, resources and recommendations, etc. She is a genuinely interested in every couples' happiness and satisfaction. I also performed at her own wedding, and she was just as meticulous with the details of her big day, down to the ceremony song choice and vows therein. She remains a powerful, experienced force in the Hawaii wedding industry, and any couple considering will be lucky to have her. Mahalo nui!

I just happened to come across Puaka'ie Floristry on instagram and instantly fell in love with Jess's style! I had already booked another florist at that time but Puaka'ie's style just matched my vision so much better and the pricing was also reasonable. I ended up making the switch and I am so glad I did! Jess is so easy to work with. We did a call to go over all the details (since I live out of state) and she provided great suggestions and advice based on her experience and really understood what I wanted. Jess is so creative and works well under pressure because she had to find last minute flowers for my arrangements as some of the flowers that she had initially ordered did not come in the quantity that she had ordered due to recent weather issues. The arrangements still turned out beautifully and all my guests gave so many compliments on the flower arrangements! I would definitely recommend Puaka'ie Floristry and hiring them as your wedding florist!

Meet Sheyanne, a globally recognized wedding and elopement photographer based in Hawai'i, USA. With a portfolio gracing the pages and sites of prestigious publications worldwide, Sheyanne is celebrated for her ability to capture the intersection of effortless elegance and luxury in every frame. Her distinctive style seamlessly weaves together digital and film photography, offering couples a meticulously curated visual narrative that encapsulates the timeless essence of their love stories, whether they unfold in the heart of Hawai'i or at destinations across the globe.

This review is LOOONG overdue, but I always kept it on my eventual to-do list because Sheyanne is INCREDIBLE. She is extremely kind-hearted, welcoming, and (obviously) TALENTED!!! I was a bit nervous because we were planning a wedding in Hawaii from California, but from the first initial phone call with Sheyanne I knew she was the one. Her art speaks for itself, but her mix of professionalism and warmth sparked the connection for my now husband and I. She is truly a wonderful human being. Her pre-wedding checklist helped to bring our wedding vision to life due to Sheyanne's remarkable eye for photography. I told her to experiment and to feel free to try out new unique shots with us and gooooodness, did she deliver. I was blown away at the moments she was able to capture - your wedding day goes by so quickly, it's important to work with a photographer who will capture every precious shot. I look back at our photos with a huge smile as every memory rushes back to me, thanks to Sheyanne. Like all photographers, you will get what you pay for. Please don't see wedding photos as an "expense," but rather as an investment. Sheyanne was worth every penny in our budget, not just because of the art she produces, but her sunny demeanor and the ability to make you feel comfortable, like you've known her for years. Thank you Sheyanne for giving us such a wonderful experience! To anyone still reading this long-winded review – BOOK HER! You will not regret it!

The management team of John and Danielle were superb, and the rest of the crew were friendly, engaging, and a lovely addition to the party. The whole event was flawless, and I would happily give them six stars.

I found my way behind the camera after years of art directing in the fashion industry in NYC. I always loved photography as it captures a moment in time, frozen forever. Taking my knowledge & experience from my fashion days, mixing it with my love for romance, love & art I made the leap to weddings. I photograph film in which I believe that is has a romantic dreamy elegance that only film can capture. I’m based in Honolulu,Hawaii, and I love to travel. Exploring the world to learn about new cultures, meet new people, get lost in a museum and drive the countrysides taking in the sublime sceneries around brings me joy.

The photos we have previewed so far, have turned out perfect. For our wedding day, it was stress free and flowed seamlessly, which if you have a big family (or party) is significant especially since you need to corral them for photos. She met with us beforehand to make sure we were able to get everything we wanted from our special day. The day of, she helped us move our pictures along (while still taking breathtaking photos by the way, one of them is going to be life sized on our wall) so that we could really enjoy our wedding. We still cannot believe how perfect our wedding was and cannot thank her enough for capturing it. Mahalo nui loa!! (Thank you very much)

Reese's lover with huge ambitions and a fire under my feet. Quite literally! I have a Bachelor's degree in business, and I'm not just some girl with a camera: I'm an auntie to three amazing boys, a club volleyball coach (after playing college Volleyball!), a follower of Christ, and a world-class adventurer. That's right, I love traveling and the only thing that would make traveling more fun is having YOU in front of my camera. I'm seriously down to adventure anywhere! ​

Kaitlyn was great! We had some funky family dynamics and she knew exactly how to deal with them. She was great at helping facilitate at the venue and worked well with the coordinator so the day was smooth. I only have some of my photos back since the event was two weeks ago but what I got back looks amazing! 100% satisfied!

Hawaii Polo Club

Waialua, HI
  • Venue
  • Up to 500 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $2,500

Our exclusive oceanfront polo field is located on Oahu’s beautiful North Shore, between the majestic Waianae mountain range and clear waters of the Pacific Ocean, creating the ideal blend of natural beauty and high-class style for your special occasion.

We had our wedding for 50 guests at the Hawaii Polo Club and had the most amazing time. It was just what we wanted - a more low key, casual wedding with a beautiful view. Unfortunately, on our wedding day it rained a lot so we weren't able to see the mountains in the background and the beach was quite gloomy but it was still a great time. We were told the rainy season would be over but it was unusual for May Sugako was very responsive and easy to work with. She also gave us a list of recommended vendor which made organizing the wedding so much easier.

Sean Cleland Music, Llc

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $1,125
  • Serves Waimanalo, HI

Sean is a two-time Na Hoku Hanohano (Hawaiian Grammy) Award-winning songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist based out of Honolulu, Hawai'i. Described as an "innovative singer-songwriter and prolific performer who plays pop, rock, and soul" by The Honolulu Star-Advertiser, his music can in one moment be introspective and refined, and in the next, fiery and emotional. Blending together a hooky pop-songwriting aesthetic with the raw emotion of his electric guitar, Sean traverses and synthesizes the frenetic passion of rock and blues with the sultry sounds of r&b, jazz, and soul.

Sean was exactly what we wanted in a musician for our November 4th, 2023 wedding at Loulu Palm in Haleiwa. We were looking for a professional musician who could stand out and make our ceremony special, but also provide the entertainment in the background during cocktail hour. Sean is professional, courteous, and very responsive. He can play a variety of music and knows so many songs as listed on his website. Sean delivered and we are very happy with his services. If you are looking for an incredible guitarist, singer, and musician for your event, we highly recommend Sean Cleland. Thank you Sean!
