Words can't describe how amazing Sugako Johnson is
When we first started working with Sugako Johnson, we knew right away she was the perfect fit. She is professional, organized, detail-oriented, attentive, thoughtful, compassionate, kind, patient, reliable, dependable, trustworthy, responsive, communicative, approachable, personable, warm, genuine, supportive, encouraging, reassuring, creative, resourceful, proactive, adaptable, flexible, calm under pressure, composed, solution-oriented, efficient, diligent, hardworking, dedicated, passionate, knowledgeable, experienced, collaborative, meticulous, thorough, strategic, perceptive, intuitive, accommodating, respectful, graceful, innovative, prepared, consistent, selfless, exceptional, and someone who truly goes above and beyond. From our very first phone call, email, and Zoom meeting, she made us feel heard, valued, and supported. When it came time to choose our venue, she dedicated an entire afternoon to walking us through every option, carefully explaining the pros and cons so we could make the best decision for our wedding. Although we hired her to oversee every aspect of our wedding from start to finish, she treated us like family, not just another couple on her calendar. She genuinely listened to what mattered most to us and thoughtfully incorporated every special moment we wanted into our timeline. Her work ethic continually amazed us. When an unexpected issue with our seating chart arose because materials from the mainland did not arrive in time, Sugako stepped in during the eleventh hour and created a beautiful seating display that looked as though it had been part of the original design all along. Our guests never knew there had been a last-minute challenge. Our wedding was a large and elaborate celebration with countless moving parts, yet Sugako made the entire day feel effortless. Because of her leadership, expertise, and unwavering commitment, we were able to be fully present, celebrate with our family and friends, and enjoy every moment without worrying about the details. Hiring Sugako was one of the best decisions we made, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner who delivers excellence with heart.

We had our dream wedding!
Sugako was fantastic to work with! Although we weren’t able to meet with them in person very often due to personal reasons, Sugako made time to meet with us online and went above and beyond to help us with our planning. She kindly explained the differences between Japanese and American weddings which helped us in our planning. On the day of the event, Sugako and her team handled most of the preparations, vendor coordinations, and schedule which allowed us to completely enjoy our wedding! Both the venue decorations and the bouquets turned out exactly as we had imagined, and we were very happy to be in Sugako’s care.

Bliss Bridal Review
Sugako was one of the best decisions we ever made in planning our destination wedding and we would choose her 1000x over if given the chance. Her meticulous attention to detail, organization, suggestions, vendor partners, and past experience at the resort we chose made the entire experience beyond seamless. We planned a 6 month engagement which is quite short, and yet she, every step of the way, took great care in capturing our vision and communicating with the vendors, hotel staff, guests, and our creative team to execute the wedding of our dreams. We experienced a slight hiccup at the venue which was nobody's fault except the hotel, and she was able to assist us in remedying the last minute changes thrust upon us. The wedding was flawless aside from that hiccup and we are so grateful for her help! She did EVERYTHING from table seating arrangements, to the final details on the rehearsal, florals, food, linen, and more. We will be recommending her to anyone we know doing a Hawaii wedding and if you're reading this, you found your wedding planner, don't look anywhere else!

We enjoyed our day to the fullest!
Thanks to Sugako, our wedding was not only successful, but a truly special day that came together more beautifully than we could have ever imagined. We absolutely recommend her to anyone seeking an experienced, organized, and most importantly, caring planner for their event. From start to finish, we had so much fun with the planning process and felt confident knowing that her years of experience and expertise were there to guide us. Although we selected her “day-of coordination” package, she answered our questions and provided insightful suggestions throughout the entire process. Around two months out, she stepped in to help us finalize everything and coordinate with all of the vendors. Having that support was invaluable as it relieved a lot of our stress leading up to the day. Sugako is incredibly thorough - we had two in-depth meetings to make sure every detail was in place and everyone was on the same page. She created a floor plan and timeline so that we and our families knew exactly what to expect going into the big day. And she takes care of the littlest details - down to cleaning and spraying the leaves of our DIY orchid centerpieces (a small thing that made a HUGE difference). When the day finally came, we were able to fully relax and enjoy it stress-free, knowing that she and her skilled team were keeping things running smoothly. Their presence was confident and reassuring without being overbearing, and they created a positive atmosphere - no one was stressing out or rushing around. Keiko - who stayed with us throughout the afternoon, ensuring we felt comfortable and looked great - is truly a gem. The entire team managed everything seamlessly while keeping us and our families at the heart of the day and ensuring the celebration felt like our own. Above all else, Sugako is a genuine, kindhearted person and a pleasure to work with. We felt so comfortable and cared for throughout the entire process. We truly appreciated that she took the time to understand our vision for the day and bring it to life. She’s incredible at what she does and we’re so grateful for all of her hard work to make our wedding everything we’d hoped for and more!

Sugako was INCREDIBLE to work with. I was a destination bride and my entire wedding was traveling from the mainland. I booked the venue and all of the vendors sight unseen so there was a lot of anxiety going into how it would all pan out. When I arrived, oh my goodness. Words cannot describe how on top of things Sugako was. I texted her multiple times, at any time of the day, leading up to the wedding and she was prompt and had the answers to everything. The vision came to life more than I could’ve imagined. Destination brides- this is your girl. You will not have to worry about a single thing. Sugako we loved you!!! Cannot rave about her services enough as a wedding coordinator.
