  • BEWARE OF DANIELLE LEILANI SCAM ARTIST

    BEWARE OF DANIELLE LEILANI and LEILANI SOCIAL: SCAM ARTIST I am writing this to warn anyone considering Danielle Leilani and her company, Leilani Social, for their wedding planning needs. Our experience with her was nothing short of a nightmare, and I urge you to avoid her services at all costs. From the start, Danielle made us feel completely unsupported and added immense stress to our wedding planning process. She essentially makes you do all the work by having you fill out a spreadsheet yourself, and she is utterly inaccessible when you need help. She instructs all vendors to refer to this spreadsheet and doesn’t communicate with them directly, leaving you to manage everything on your own. Danielle claimed that her work would begin at the 6-week mark, yet she only started 4 weeks before our wedding, leaving us in a lurch. To make matters worse, she contractually promised four coordinators at our event but informed us at the last minute that we would have one less, and didn't take any accountability. Her unprofessional conduct, poor communication, and unreliable service were appalling. She CANCELLED our contract just TWO WEEKS before our wedding date without providing any valid reason and blocked all our attempts to contact her via email. Despite canceling on us, she refused to refund almost 3,000 dollar payment deposit, effectively pocketing our money without delivering any of the promised services. Danielle Leilani is unreliable, untrustworthy, and more interested in taking your money than providing any real service. Her actions caused us undue stress and financial loss, which no couple should have to endure during their wedding planning. In summary ,DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE WE DID! Avoid Danielle Leilani and Leilani Social at all costs. Save yourself the heartache and find a wedding planner who is professional, reliable, and genuinely cares about their clients.

    The worst, most unprofessional wedding coordinators. Do NOT use Danielle Leilani if you want your wedding day to run smoothly. We hired them for our wedding last month and our wedding was a logistical nightmare. 6 days before the event, we were told there was a schedule change and the coordinator we had been working with for months would no longer be at our wedding. Instead, Danielle Leilani would be taking over (without any prior knowledge of our plans for the day). The minute Danielle got involved, chaos ensued. First she tried going behind our backs to change contracts with our vendors. She screamed at multiple vendors, demanding things that were outside of their scope. We were horrified to hear this, especially since we had such good relationships with each of the vendors we had selected for our big day. Danielle and her team also managed to mess up even the simplest tasks like placing the table numbers on the correct tables that were all listed on a diagram. None of the table numbers lined up with the name cards at the seats, and my husband and I had to walk around and redirect all 90 of our guests to where they should be sitting. During the reception, my husband and I got pulled off the dance floor by vendors on FOUR different occasions for guidance on things like where to set up and what needs to be done. The job of the day of coordinator is to quite literally coordinate these things on the wedding day so the bride and groom can enjoy their day and not worry about logistics, but this was not the case because Danielle was no where to be found. When our cinnamon roll tower “cake” was put out for dessert, her one job was to put out the plates and utensils for serving. That didn’t happen, so our guests were eating dessert with their hands and walking around with sticky fingers. Again, horrifying. As one last final slap in the face, Danielle and her team disregarded our entire post-wedding cleanup plan and left everything sitting outside overnight, with my wedding bouquet squished into the bottom of a cardboard box. Please do yourself a favor and book any other wedding coordinator/planner to avoid a disaster like this one.

  • Failure to plan, is a plan to fail. Not here!
