Kauai Wedding Planning & Coordination
Thoughtful Planning. Experienced Coordination. Beautifully Personal Celebrations.
Planning a destination wedding on Kauaʻi involves so much more than choosing a beautiful location. From finding the right venue and assembling your vendor team to creating a thoughtful design, managing logistics, and coordinating the wedding day itself, every detail should work together seamlessly.
With more than 24 years of experience planning weddings throughout Kauaʻi,
I provide personalized guidance, trusted local relationships, and calm, experienced coordination from our first conversation through the final moments of your celebration.
Whether you are planning an intimate gathering or a large Kauaʻi wedding with 200+ guests, Alohana Kauaʻi Weddings offers flexible levels of planning and coordination designed around what you actually need.
Private locations vary in pricing, availability, and venue requirements. I’ll help you narrow the choices and secure the setting that best reflects your vision.
Wedding Planning Designed Around You
No two weddings require exactly the same level of support.
Some couples come to me at the very beginning and want guidance with everything from venue selection and vendor recommendations to design, timelines, and wedding-day coordination.
Others have already secured their venue and several vendors and simply need an experienced Kauaʻi wedding coordinator to bring all of the pieces together.
That's why my planning services are flexible. We'll begin with what you've already accomplished, determine where you need support, and create a planning experience tailored to your wedding.

From Intimate Weddings to Grand Celebrations
A 20-person wedding and a 200-person wedding require very different levels of planning, staffing, and coordination.
Alohana Kauaʻi Weddings has the experience to support celebrations of many sizes, from romantic elopements and intimate gatherings to large Kauaʻi weddings with 200+ guests.
For larger celebrations, we'll consider the complete guest experience as well as the additional logistics involved—rentals, catering, transportation, entertainment, timelines, staffing, setup, breakdown, and the flow of the celebration from beginning to end.
Private Estate & Resort Weddings
Kauaʻi offers extraordinary possibilities for couples looking beyond the traditional ballroom.
Alohana Kauaʻi Weddings provides planning and coordination for private estate weddings, luxury resort weddings, botanical garden celebrations, oceanfront receptions, and other distinctive venues throughout the island.
Private estates and outdoor venues often require additional planning for rentals, catering, lighting, power, transportation, restrooms, weather considerations, setup, breakdown, and guest flow. With experienced local guidance, these moving pieces can come together into a celebration that feels effortless.
For resort weddings, I work alongside the venue's catering and event teams while coordinating your outside vendors, ceremony details, design elements, timeline, and overall wedding experience.

After more than two decades of planning weddings on Kauaʻi, I've built trusted relationships with talented professionals throughout the island. Depending on your celebration and level of planning support, I'll help you assemble a vendor team that reflects your style, priorities, and investment.

Planning with Experience. Creating with Heart.
After more than 1,000 weddings, I've learned that beautiful celebrations don't happen because every wedding follows the same formula.
They happen when the right people, thoughtful details, careful planning, and a clear vision come together.
My role is to listen to what matters most to you, guide the process with experience, and create a celebration that feels unmistakably yours.
Whether you need full-service planning, help completing what you've already begun, or experienced coordination to bring everything together, we'll create the level of support that feels right for your wedding.
Ready to Begin?
Let's talk about your wedding, what you've already planned, and where you'd like my support.
Would you like to schedule a call? We can email as well—I'm here to answer any questions and excited to get started.
