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 17 years and love seeing how happy they are!

Weddings & Events by Lei was the perfect wedding planning partner for our special day. From the moment we started working with her, we were impressed by her kind-hearted, patient, and attentive communication style. She was detail-driven, resourceful and unshakably calm, handling every tiny blunder with such grace that no one even noticed. Her steady presence kept the entire day feeling peaceful and seamless, and I couldn't have asked for a more thoughtful or capable person to bring everything together so beautifully.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Grace is pure MAGIC! We had the absolute pleasure of working with Grace for our engagement photos and our wedding day - She came highly recommended from trusted friends and when you see her work, it's easy to understand why! Grace is attentive, warm, inviting. She truly makes you feel 100% comfortable being in front of the camera which is not a small feat. By far the best investment we made throughout our entire wedding process was the decision to work with Grace and her team. We now have the most incredible photos that will last a lifetime and we could not thank Grace enough!

We were so excited to receive our full albums and can still look back on them and feel all of the feelings over again.

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.

Take us back! One year later, and we are still caught up in the moment we celebrated our wedding at Loulu Palm Estates. Nestled on O‘ahu’s North Shore, Loulu Palm offered us complete privacy—and yet didn’t compromise on the sweeping views of Hawaii’s vibrant sunsets and emerald mountain ridges. It was the perfect setting! While rentals must be booked directly through the venue, we found their wide-ranging inventory—chairs, tents, decor—both convenient and hassle-free. And also, completely customizable! With the help of Jordan from Love Letter Weddings, we integrated a Toyota Tacoma photobooth and cabana awnings over the ceremony seating—both concepts the venue team embraced wholeheartedly. We can’t recommend working with Nickie and Loulu Palm enough!

Rattan Events made our special day absolutely perfect. From the beginning, Miranda’s communication was consistently encouraging and honest, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. 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.

We are a boutique wedding planning & entertainment company with over 15 years experience in the Hawai'i & destination wedding industry. Our focus is providing comprehensive wedding planning experiences for busy couples that are culturally inspired, wonderfully personalized, luxurious, and reflect each couple's unique personality. Our mission -- to give couples back the freedom to enjoy all the fun aspects of their wedding journey while we manage every part of your wedding day down to the finest detail.

Seriously, you need Annie. I am such a type A person that I thought maybe I didn’t need a wedding planner, but from the first consultation with Annie we decided immediately we needed her. She added value from day one, and saved me from making a horrible venue mistake. She knows everyone, all the vendors, and who’s the best fit for you and your wedding vision. What she doesn’t know (which is rare) she figures out - for example, I had a request to have a magician, a friend cleanse the space with sage smudging, and a sound healer at our wedding, and she handled all my unique requests so well and was up for anything. She is very detail oriented and pays attention to everything- all our bills being correct, caught mistakes I made, and paid attention to all my strange requests. Most weddings are full of some strange interpersonal dynamic challenges, and Annie knew exactly how to navigate each one, paid special attention to the dynamic issues with my family and was fully ready and prepped to keep certain people happy and apart. She dealt with last minute changes seamlessly, including a no-show bridesmaid and last minute addition of a flower girl. There is no one I trusted more with my wedding (and at this point my life, I mean, can I keep her?!!) than Annie. On my wedding day and for months leading up to it I knew that whatever happened to go wrong, whatever last minute issues I would have, Annie would handle it and figure it out and I would barely know the difference. And that’s exactly how our day went. She is perfect and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Ps- mango season band was amazing too!!

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
Working with Samuel at Twin Fin Films was such a dream! I found him through a personal recommendation who also had nothing but great things to say about his work. The initial communication process was very productive! I previously had a different videographer booked who completely ghosted me after I paid my deposit to them, so I was very up front about my communication expectations, especially because I was planning this wedding remotely. Samuel was very understanding and exceeded my expectations in all ways! He understood our vision of what we were wanting for our videos, adjusted his video package to include everything we wanted and nothing we weren't interested in. The day of our wedding, he worked seamlessly with our photographers and made my groom and myself feel so comfortable even though we get shy in front of the camera. He was also so kind and fun to be around. Our wedding video and teaser came rather quickly in comparison to others! We got our full video 3 months after our wedding and it was everything we wanted and more! The drone shots were beautiful, the compilation was stunning, and the editing was impeccable. But the BIGGEST reason why I would 1000% recommend to hire Samuel is that I was a complete dummy and misplaced my USB with ALL of our raw footage on it. So I reached out to him and he was gracious enough to send us a replacement!! Quite truly a lifesaver. If you are thinking about hiring Sam and his Twin Fin Films team, do it! You won't regret it!

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!

Oliver Sangalang Photography specializes in weddings and portraits that feel genuine, timeless, and full of heart. With a relaxed and thoughtful approach, I focus on capturing real moments—from emotional vows and joyful celebrations to quiet, in-between glances you didn’t even realize were happening. The goal is to create images that tell your story naturally, allowing you to relive the feeling of your day for years to come.

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer!!!!! Ollie was so easy to work with and is truly an artist and master at his craft. He is excellent at coming up with not only posing ideas, but is also very artistic in taking photos of details, family and friends, and really excels in candid photos. He is able to capture the moment without it looking forced or fake, and somehow beautifully curates a wonderful variety of photos (various angles, wide, close, candid, posed). When it comes to posing, he has so many great pose ideas and is able to help you get into the pose without it feeling awkward or overly posed (to the point of superficiality). His photos also have personality and exude emotion, which is what makes his work definitely stand out from other photographers. We love his photos so much that we even got them printed in a photobook. He was a joy to work with. Very easygoing, and willing to work with you and your vision for the day. We cannot recommend him enough!!!

I booked my wedding date at Sunset Ranch 2.5 years ago after falling in love with it online. I had never seen the venue in person, but based on the reviews and the wedding packages, I felt confident that this would be the perfect venue to host my dream wedding. Just a few months after I locked in my date, I found out I was pregnant and would be due just weeks before my original wedding day. I went into full panic mode when I reached out to Ronda, my Sunset Ranch appointed wedding coordinator, to let her know the news. Greg(owner) and Ronda did not let me stress about this and happily moved my date another year out without any further questions asked. Because of this, I was able to prepare for an incredible wedding that exceeded all my expectations. Planning a destination wedding while raising a newborn was something I never thought I would have to do, nor did I know how incredibly difficult it could be. It would have been impossible without Ronda’s help and guidance. She went above and beyond and was always honest and transparent about every decision, option, or issue that arose. I love that Sunset Ranch has vendors for almost everything already. It made the wedding planning process so much easier. Any decision between vendors or design elements that I had to make was easy due to Ronda’s suggestions. The entire Sunset Ranch team worked seamlessly to make sure my wedding day was amazing. All my guests were in awe and could not say enough great things about the venue and team. The party favors (honey) were a hit as well! My husband and I were pretty bummed when TSA took our bottle on our way back home. The BEST part - nothing beats the natural beauty of the venue / views from the venue. Being able to pause and appreciate all the beauty around us with all our friends and family as we soaked up everything that just happened was incredible. I couldn’t be happier about where I chose to get married. If you’re a bride that does not want the bridezilla title or to get sucked into picking out every little detail on your own and welcome help/suggestions from seasoned wedding professionals, look no further. Sunset Ranch is an absolutely gorgeous venue, with flexible packages, and a rockstar team to execute your big day. To Ronda - thank you for being more than just a coordinator, but also a friend over the last 2.5 years. You were the perfect coordinator for my rowdy bunch of friends and a great person to talk to when I struggled to find the balance of raising a baby and planning a destination wedding. Thank you for not just treating us as clients, but as family. My wedding party, along with everyone who got to see you kill it on wedding day absolutely adored you. I’m so glad you were my coordinator! I hope to see you the next time we are back in Oahu.

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!

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!!!

Based in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, blanc photography, led by award-winning artist Jun Tagai, offers an editorial, meets fine art approach to wedding storytelling. We believe your wedding day is not merely an event, it is the first chapter of a legacy. From quiet glances to unspoken emotions, every fleeting moment carries meaning. Our work is devoted to preserving the authenticity, the beauty, the laughter, the tears, the subtle gestures, in timeless imagery that feels as genuine as it is exquisite. Because your love deserves to be remembered not just beautifully, but truthfully, real, radiant, and entirely your own.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jun was amazing the entire time. He is fluent in English and Japanese, which was perfect for us as our families only speak English or only Japanese. He went out of his way to work with our time zone for zoom meetings, and was extremely friendly and professional. He offered a lot of great input and advice to help the wedding go smoothly. I cannot recommend him enough, and hope I can hire him again one day when I return to Hawaii.
