We cannot thank White Orchid Wedding enough for helping us with our wedding day! We were so lucky to have Nani as our planner, and it is because of her that our dream day was better than we could have ever imagined. We had a week-full of wedding events including a Welcome Beach Party, Rehearsal & dinner, New Years Eve, and, of course, our big day! Nani brought our vision to life for each event and made sure that every detail was thought of and taken care of.
She took the time to get to know us and really understood the vibe we wanted. We also enjoyed all of our planning calls with Nani and will miss talking with her all the time! I work as an executive assistant so I'm thinking about details and planning all day, everyday. So planning a destination wedding felt a bit overwhelming at first, but thanks to Nani, I never had to worry about any detail being missed.
Thank you, Nani and WoW for giving us the gift of a stress-free wedding planning experience! Our wedding week was so much fun, and our family and friends had THE BEST time! We hope we can work with WoW again for a milestone anniversary party!

Our (215+ person) Maui wedding was absolutely perfect, thanks to Kendall and the WOW team. First of all, Kendall is a real gem. She became a fast and genuine friend to my husband and me, right from the start. Not to mention, she really just "got us" and our vision. I'd give her abstract design + wedding ideas that she was able to turn into a reality even more beautiful than i could have imagined.
Our wedding was unique to us, absolutely stunning design, and everything went off without a hitch. Also, she's curated all top wedding vendors on Maui and takes all the pain away in sifting through a million different portfolios and vendor options. All of the vendors I picked through Kendall went above and beyond. She did all of the planning, was sooooo patient with me, knowledgeable, creative, and very flexible. I could go on and on about how easy Kendall made everything and how talented she is. I wholeheartedly recommend Kendall, and WOW to design your dream wedding. Thank you, Kendall!

Kendall went above and beyond to create the perfect Maui wedding for my husband and me. She perfectly interpreted our abstract vision board and created a design that truly reflected our personal aesthetic, and was even more beautiful than we imagined. All of the vendors she recommended for us were absolutely fantastic and top notch. We received so many compliments from our guests on the beautiful design, flowers, food, and fun.
I attribute this to Kendall, the WOW team, and our incredible vendors (all curated by Kendall). We actually 3 different set ups with different designs- Wedding Ceremony was a romantic and simplistic (outdoor) vibe w/ a beautiful view, Cocktail Hour was a perfect sunset (outdoor) venue design, and Reception was a lush and whimsical fantasy ( outdoor/ indoor). Kendall and her team can do it all. All the way from handling the burden of planning and booking and cost and design, down to calming a nervous bride before she walks down the aisle :) Thanks to Kendall and the team at WOW. You're talent and dedication shines, and I'm so grateful for the perfect day that i'll smile back on forever!
