Haunani made my wedding dreams come true! She is kind, honest, patient, knowledgeable, detail oriented, the list goes on and on. She feels like family, and our wedding day was so perfect it almost doesn't seem real. It was very important for me to breathe in and enjoy my wedding day, and it truly was the best day of my life. I will always hold a special place in my heart for Haunani and her husband. Thank you from my heart to yours!

Kauai Aloha Weddings really takes that extra step of Aloha to make those Forever Moments happen while you can enjoy your special occasion without worry. They are Pros! Haunani was the most amazing wedding planner she made everything effortless and stress free while really encompassing that Aloha spirit. From when we landed to the venue, the music, the photographer & Video - quick and responsive while I was here planning on the mainland. & Fast forward 9 years later I had to contact them because we couldn't find our original wedding photos and I dug up that old email and Haunani responded back to us within hours. It was like i was living in the moment 9 years ago & she got me in contact with the photographer to get our org. pictures. Truly. I recommend them over Mahalo Plenty.- Piilani

In June 2012 Haunani & here husband who forgive me I have forgotten his name he played the ukelele. She had arranged for my parent's vow renewal a Episcopal priest & for my husband & mine a Hawaiian priest. John happened to have been born on the forbidden island which I thought was really cool. Johns wife Oeilan happened to be helping out that day & I made a life time friend that day (Oeilan). John & my father have since passed away but I think of them both often. Thank you for making that day so special. Thank you Haunani

Haunani was amazing! I truthfully couldn't ask for a better wedding coordinator. We live in Salt Lake City, so all of our communication was through email or over the phone. She made us feel confident that everything was going to run smooth, and it did. The first time I met Haunani was the day before the wedding at our rehearsal. She was so kind and was extremely organized! She even had a few tricks up her sleeve for wedding photos, which turned out amazing. All in all I really appreciated her quick responses, her patience and kindness all around. Thank you for making our day so wonderful.
