As an acclaimed International Wedding Planner, Rachael has 15 years of experience in Wedding Coordination, Planning, and Design specific to Hawaii Island. In addition to her extensive industry background, Rachael also holds a Master’s Degree in International Studies and a Bachelor of Arts, further enriching the knowledge and professionalism she brings to each event. From intimate elopements to luxury weddings, Rachael is versed in supporting each couple’s individual priorities—armed with expertise that can only be gained from the thousands of events she has curated.

“Working with Chapter of Love was the absolute best decision we could have made for our wedding. I’m from the Big Island, but currently live on the Mainland, and while I’m familiar with Hawaii, the thought of planning a wedding from so far away was stressful. But from the very beginning, Rachael made the process easy and stress-free. She listened to our preferences and recommended vendors that fit our vision. We wanted a colorful beach wedding, and she was incredible at helping us make design decisions for everything from the linens and glassware to the flowers. My husband and I both have very demanding jobs so there were points over the summer when we couldn’t give any attention to wedding planning. Rachael was completely on top of things during the whole process and checked in on us to make sure we got our vendors booked on time. When I changed my mind on wanting live music and a hula dancer, Rachael swiftly took care of finding a vendor and getting a quote. When I wanted to add a wooden walkway for the aisle, she contacted our venue and took care of the arrangements. She followed up on things that I had completely forgotten about and promptly assisted us on anything we needed. At one point, I was freaking out about how little time I had dedicated to planning, but Rachael quickly jumped on a call and helped ease all my nerves. Teya was our day-of coordinator and I don’t know how we could have had our wedding without her. Prior to the day itself, we went over the schedule and timeline and she made sure everything was exactly as we wanted it on the day of the wedding. She was comforting and friendly, checking in on me periodically through the rehearsal and the wedding day. For the day of, she coordinated EVERYTHING with the vendors, so I didn’t have to lift a finger. She made sure my husband and I were taken care of, including getting our couple’s drinks and some of the canapes after the ceremony! My family couldn’t stop complimenting Teya’s professionalism and care. Having Teya there allowed us to be fully present for the ceremony and the reception without having to worry about anything. The entire day was beyond my wildest dreams and we were able to enjoy every second of it because of Chapter of Love. I cannot thank them enough for everything and I cannot recommend them enough.”

Born and raised on the island of Oahu, Dayna developed interest in special events through her extensive work experiences and college eduction. It was the moment she married her husband, a Paniolo (cowboy) from Hawai’i Island, that she found her passion to help other couples with their own wedding. Their wedding theme was “Mauka to Makai” meaning “from the mountain side to the ocean side” because of where they grew up - similar to how the Naupaka is grown on the mountain side and by the ocean side.

“From the moment we first reached out to Naupaka Events & Weddings, their communication was fast, clear, and incredibly helpful. Dayna and her team proved to be creative, budget-conscious, and thorough in planning every aspect of our special day. Every vendor they recommended was outstanding, and when we had one last minute vendor cancellation, Dayna immediately provided excellent backup options. The Naupaka team managed all of our vendors seamlessly, and provided tons of suggestions and support in making our wedding a wonderful and unique experience for us and our guests. Their attentive staff went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect. We are so grateful to Naupaka Events & Weddings for making our wedding dreams a reality.”

From the very beginning, she was incredibly organized, communicative, down to earth, and thoughtful, which made the entire process feel so smooth and stress-free. No detail was overlooked, and she always made sure we felt confident and taken care of, even when nerves were getting the best of us.

On the wedding day, everything went perfectly and we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment, knowing everything was handled so seamlessly behind the scenes. We feel so lucky to have worked with her and can’t recommend her and the team enough. We truly had a five-star experience in every way!”

“I’m not even sure where to begin to describe how amazing Events by McKenna is at what they do!! McKenna is the most kind, helpful, and enthusiastic person to assist you during such an important time in your life. She made sure everything went perfectly on our wedding day and every day leading up to it! When we first started our wedding planning journey, we only knew where we wanted to have it, and due to the venue location not regularly being used for weddings, we needed to outsource vendors for everything. That's where McKenna came in and helped us out by hand-picking every vendor that she knew would provide the exact things we were looking for. From catering, florals, furniture rentals, DJ, and all the little details, she knew who would be perfect for the job and she was right about every single one! Every time we had a question or a crazy idea, she had an answer right away and she would do everything she could to make it happen. One thing that we were really hoping for was getting a disco ball above our dance floor, but since we were outdoors, it wasn’t looking promising. McKenna was the one who made sure that we got our disco ball, and it was absolutely perfect! That’s just one example of the many ways McKenna ensured our dream wedding would become a reality. On the day of, McKenna and her team were so efficient and handled everything so that my husband and I could relax and focus on ourselves. We got to our venue and everything was already done and ready to start the day! McKenna was amazing at time management throughout the day, and she was so helpful to not only us, but our families, wedding party and guests as well. Everything went perfectly on schedule and all the crazy ideas that we had came to life with no issues! It was truly the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been possible without McKenna’s help! I could write so much more on how incredible Events by McKenna is, but to sum it all up, they are the best choice for your wedding planning and coordinating needs and you will not regret choosing them for your big day!!”

“Where do I even begin with Evelyn and Love & Laughter Weddings? Working with them for our NYC wedding was like having your coolest, most organized friend magically transform into a superhero wedding planner. Five stars aren't enough! From day one, they got our vibe and ran with it. The whole process felt less like business and more like planning a giant party with your best friends who happen to know EVERYTHING about weddings in the city. It was all heart eyes and high-fives from start to finish. The attention to detail was on point. I'm talking about Insta-worthy details that had our guests snapping pics left and right. Our wedding wasn't just an event; it was a personalized masterpiece, carefully curated by the Love & Laughter team. And can we talk about their local knowledge? They didn't just recommend venues; they curated experiences. We ended up with a wedding that was so 'us' it was like they peeked into our dreams and made it happen. What sets Evelyn and the entire team at Love & Laughter apart is their infectious energy. Wedding planning can be stressful, but these guys turned it into a series of laugh-out-loud moments. They made us feel like we were planning the coolest party of the year – and spoiler alert, it totally was. Our wedding day was a blast, and we owe it all to Love & Laughter Weddings. If you want your wedding to be a party and not just an event, these are the people to make it happen. Youthful, professional, and downright awesome.”

Zuzu Collective is a bespoke wedding planning studio specializing in immersive, story-driven weddings in San Diego and throughout California and worldwide. We start with your story — your taste, your vision, what you want people to feel — and build a world from there.

“TLDR: Zoey helped us plan and coordinate a destination wedding from San Diego to the Grand Canyon with a Flagstaff reception. With Zoey’s help we are probably one of the few couples in modern wedding history that can say our big day went off without a single problem. Meat and Potatoes: Venue- We had a 30 person AirBnB in Flagstaff which would serve as wedding party lodging for a weekend and the site of our reception. We rented a charter bus to drive the wedding party to South Rim of GC and back. Decor- We wanted the natural surroundings to take center stage and to not clutter the venue nor reception site with excessive setup or decor. Zoey helped maintain a classy and magical atmosphere without imposing on the natural surroundings. Our table layout was essentially a U and at each end of the U moving towards the center we had multiple themes and showing important aspects of our lives. Zoey helped with table spacing and design. She even provided some personal decorative pieces to help tie together different themes. Music- We did not have a DJ. We instead made multiple playlists for different stages of the day and Zoey managed each of the playlists seamlessly. Food- We hired a local chef who provided staff for serving. Zoey simply made sure their needs were met in order to provide smooth service. Logistics- Zoey met with us on multiple Zoom calls to hear our vision. At each meeting, she gave us the right amount of food for thought/homework to do without becoming overwhelming. Zoey was even able to get us in contact with a photographer who was also amazing. Reception Dinner/final prep- After the reception dinner, the immediate wedding party and Zoey all reviewed roles to insure efficiency and timeliness. The Big Day- Zoey helped manage two separate locations with 50 guests seamlessly. We did not fall behind at any point of the day and it in no shape or form seemed rushed. Other than enjoying ourselves, Zoey made it to where on the day we just coasted. Zoey was amazing, we are truly impressed with her logistical skills. We are forever grateful to her. Thank you so much! Can 100% recommend Zoey to bring your ideas to life and make your event a cherished memory.”

“From the very first conversation with Tiffany, I knew I was in the best hands to bring the wedding of my dreams to real life. Tiffany is not only incredibly talented and professional, but one of the kindest souls you’ll ever meet. She made me feel like a high priority and without any encouragement or reminder, she was always brainstorming decor ideas for my wedding. She wanted to hear about our love story and understand our vision, and somehow, she turned all of that into a stunning wedding plan that reflected us in every detail. She created a beautiful vision board right after our first meeting that instantly brought our ideas to life. I wanted blush and gold details throughout the wedding but on a budget. From there, she built a timeline that made the entire process feel so much more manageable. I was able to enjoy the months leading up to the wedding stress free because I knew I was in good hands and cared about our wedding as much as I did. Wedding planning can be overwhelming, but she kept me grounded with monthly reminders, gentle check-ins, and clear guidance on what needed to be done and when. On the actual day there were a few hiccups (like an issue with our cake vendor), but I didn’t even know until after the fact—because she handled everything quietly and gracefully, without ever letting it affect the joy of the day. She also set up the décor more beautifully than I could have ever imagined. Walking into that space and seeing everything come together so perfectly took my breath away. I was able to enjoy the day of the wedding by peacefully getting ready and being present with my family without having to be concerned about vendors or wedding set up. I can say without a doubt that anyone would be so lucky to have Tiffany as their wedding planner/day of coordinator. I truly can’t imagine this experience without her, and I’m endlessly grateful for everything she did to make our day as magical as it was.”

Yanicke Lim Sang, from the island of Jamaica, of Chinese, African, and East Indian heritage has called Hawaii home for 17 years. She founded Zenju Weddings and Events of Hawaii in 2010, inspired by her sons: Zen and Jude. With extensive experience, including six years apprenticeship under notable coordinators, coordinating concerts for emerging talent for a Miami Beach record label. Yanicke brings expertise and passion to her work. She earned a Fashion Design degree from Miami Art University and devoted early years to the Fashion Industry before focusing on event coordination.

“Our experience planning our destination wedding in Oahu, Hawaii with Yanicke, where we first met and fell in love, was nothing short of a fairytale. As a newly engaged couple living in New Jersey, we had been ideating on whether we should pull the trigger on organizing our wedding in Hawaii - the ultimate destination wedding location - not to mention, one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Just knowing this, we assumed it would be out of our budget, especially given that we were planning a big fat Polish-Indian wedding spanning multiple days, faiths, cultures and more! We began emailing quite a few planners via The Knot and Wedding Wire just to get a feel for what we could except from planning a wedding in Hawaii in general. Beyond worrying about our budget, we were torn on whether we could logistically execute something so elaborate being so far away….until that fateful Monday morning back in 2024, when Yanicke called me out of the blue. She quickly introduced herself, mentioning how she had received our inquiry, and immediately dove into her ideas for our special day. I just loved that she took the initiative to do that, especially given the crazy, 6-hour time difference! She explained how she had worked with a venue that could double as accommodations for us and our immediate family, something we knew would be one of the best ways to actually host and easily organize the wedding weekend of both Indian and Polish wedding festivities. For us, Yanicke REALLY shined when it came to tapping her vast network of vendors and and managing our budget. She advised us on what we should prioritize and invest in, and what we could do without, while still maintaining the overall vision and vibe we wanted to create for ourselves and our guests on the the big day. She was EQUALLY impressive on both our rehearsal and wedding days. She suggested we rehearse not just the Catholic, but the and Hindu ceremony as well, which was so worth it given the many rituals and parent involvement. The timeline she had started putting together months before our wedding, plus the finalized version accounting for vendor arrivals, additional notes and moments we needed to incorporate, was exactly what we envisioned and needed the most, and everyone was locked in and delivered once the big day came. On our wedding day, Yanicke managed every vendor, navigated any delays with grace, and even helped with family drama all while keeping us perfectly on track. We felt supported, celebrated, and completely stress-free with her by our side. Yanicke is a real gem with years of wedding planning wisdom and sharp networking skills that is truly hard to come by these days. She advocates for both her clients and her network, and will make you feel like family from Day 1.”

The team at Michelle's Everyday Travels was extremely knowledgeable, prompt, helpful and reliable throughout the entire process, giving us confidence that our honeymoon would be everything I had hoped for. Michelle personally planned our honeymoon in Cancun, taking the time to understand our preferences and providing several all-inclusive resort options before helping us choose the perfect fit. Michelle went above and beyond our expectations, ensuring our honeymoon was truly a dream come true.”

The Binder Co. was founded by Kimiloluwa Fafowora, a designer and brand strategist with over a decade of experience across e-commerce, tech, and creative industries. We bring that same rigor to every wedding we design: sharp creative direction paired with structured vendor briefs, timelines, and active coordination with your vendor team from concept through execution. Fully virtual, working with couples nationwide, we stay involved through the logistics that bring the vision to life. If you're drawn to editorial, elevated design with hands-on support behind it, we'd love to hear about your day.

“When we got engaged, we knew we wanted our farm wedding to feel editorial and polished, but we had no idea how to pull it off. The Binder Co. stepped in and made it all come together. From our first conversation, the team was professional and kind, making us feel heard every step of the way. They understood who we were as a couple and wove that into every detail. From the florals to the ceremony setup to how the day flowed. Their creative eye and thoughtful approach transformed our vision into something we didn't even know was possible. We can't thank them enough for making our day feel like it came straight out of a magazine.”
