    I couldn't have put together my husband's 80th b-day party without CoL. It was such an awesome event. I had at least 5 people tell me "I raised the bar" for local luaus and all my friends were pissed off that they would never be able to top it. BUt I didn't take credit...I told them about CoL and told them that they too could have an amazing party by hiring Rachael.

    We chose the Chapter of Love for our wedding on the Big Island and we are so grateful for the whole team! Rachael was very responsive to all my questions and concerns throughout the months leading up to the wedding and made the planning process seamless! Kalinda was absolutely amazing for our day of coordinator. I DIYd all my flowers and decor without having a clear vision and she put everything together beautifully! She too was very responsive and made sure we didn’t have any concerns throughout the day! Thank you, Kalinda and Rachael!

    We strongly recommend hiring Chapter of Love. They were the key reason behind why our special day was so perfect. Rachael connected us with the very best vendors and helped set out what we would need. And then Teya was just amazing! She was the driving force behind the minute by minute planning of the big day and was the most perfect coordinator ever. Every one of our guests were blown away by just how beautiful and perfect the day was, and that was all due to Rachael and Teya. Thank you so much for making our special day unforgettable!!

    Working with Chapter of Love was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Teya and Rachael are truly exceptional - so warm, thoughtful, and incredibly on top of every detail. Planning a wedding in Hawaii from the mainland could have easily been overwhelming, but they made the entire process feel low-stress and seamless from start to finish. They handled everything including coordinating with vendors, working closely with our venue, and managing all the moving pieces so we didn't have to. What stood out most is how quickly they understood our vision. From our very first meeting they just got it, and then went above and beyond behind the scenes to bring it to life in a way that felt even better than we imagined. We always felt supported, informed, and completely taken care of. We're so grateful to Rachael, Teya, and the entire Chapter of Love team for making our wedding experience so smooth and so special. We truly couldn't recommend them more.

    I highly recommend the Chapter of Love. They helped us create the wedding of our dreams! Everything was so smooth and there was no struggle at all with any decision. Rachael gave us recommendations that fit the vibe of our vision and everything went off without a hitch! Teya as day of coordinator was unbelievable! She was present early in the morning to well after dark. I couldn’t believe how seamless everything went on the day of the wedding. Teya created a flawless day that we will never forget. She worked so hard- but was always there if I needed her and she created a calm and serene environment so no one was stressed. Truly impressed with the professionalism of this company. Five gold stars!⭐️
